Premiere: IN2U's 'CRTRDG' on Transparent Audio

Unleashing their annual series that delivers, compelling, profound and sublime dance floor vibes, each and every time with their continually expanding pool of talent is none other than Transparent Audio with Refractions Vol. 002.

The various artists compilation features a sweet 19 deep and minimal tracks, with a focus on emerging talents while interweaving novel tracks from their core artists. An eagerly awaited series in my respect, as they consistently provide artists a strong platform and grounding to amplify their sonic innovations to further advance the genre's boundaries.

It’s not very often we get to premiere a debut track from a fresh talent, but with that said we’re delighted to showcase a favorite from the compilation from newcomer IN2U, presenting his first release ever named CRTRDG.

Aiming to combine his love of R&B and soulful Drum and Bass, this single shifts into the darker side of his creations. The track starts off with an atmospheric loop of drones and howls that's been filtered and layered as if a storm is about to ensue around you; leading you further into an eerie lead choir vocal that's been sampled and distorted to allure you into an abyss of a thunderous-moody bassline.

Harmonizing with the subtle minimal-techy drum work, the track rolls onwards with its spine-chilling chords and a dazzling vocal ‘Baby’ peaking in and out. A cold yet soothing track sure to hit you right in the feels. IN2U is definitely one to keep an eye on!
