Beat Persuasion: "Your Touch"

"Your Touch" is the thrilling neon sound of two Osaka-resident gaijin producers - Deron Reynolds and Zak Baney - collaborating under the Beat Persuasion name. The track's base is a near-perfect "electro nu wave disco" balance of shooting synths and driving, electronic beats; on top of that we're led along by intriguing stream-of-consciousness lyrics ("the sights, the sounds of eyes so wide / ears broken drum bass loud, surrounds"), which recall Underworld in their creative prime. It's a "big" track in many ways and is about as full of tricks and as densely layered is it's safe to make an 80s throwback before it implodes under its own weight. "Your Touch" is really pushing the limits. It sounds like nothing else we received.
