Premiere: Reigniting with 1 More Thing & Skorpion
1 More Thing is the flagship project from none other than Dave Jenkins. The project, in my eyes, represents a much-needed manifestation in today's era of music journalism: careful music curation, good vibes, and good intentions. I've been closely following Dave's project since its commencement, and I'm thrilled that today we get to see some crossover between our two platforms.
Today, we're happy to talk about San Francisco-based artist Skorpion and, more notably, his latest EP on 1 More Thing titled "Experimental Research". Traversing the 120-160 BPM territory, this release offers a landscape of aggressive rhythms and euphoric vocals.
Dave was kind enough to send the EP over last week, and after listening to each track, I wanted to note that it's quite cool to hear a sound like this coming out of San Francisco. These tracks beautifully blend a range of styles; just when you think one track makes this journey an experimental one, the next redefines it as something more upbeat and "clubby."
Without further ado, we're excited to premiere a personal favourite from the release. The track titled "To The Head" stuck with me as one of the more experimental tracks as it portrays a sweet combination of high-energy percussives, wavetable reese's, and some beautiful vocal manipulation. Do check it out here.
Overall, this EP is refreshing to hear, and after having an entire month without premieres, we couldn't be more grateful to reignite things with this work. It's great to see 1 More Thing and Skorpion working together, and I can't wait to see what each project brings to the table.
