In a realm where many electronic music producers find solace in familiar beats and predictable drops, longstoryshort disrupts the status quo with his audacious single, “UPUPUP”.
Labeling “UPUPUP” is a challenge even its creator struggles with. As longstoryshort states, the track is “pure chaos,” brilliantly oscillating between drum and bass, techno, and traces of hardstyle. It’s this unpredictable yet seamless blend that sets the song apart. The rhythmic intricacy of DnB, combined with an aggressive bassline, provides listeners with an exhilarating auditory thrill ride, punctuated with distortions that only heighten its raw intensity.
The brilliance of “UPUPUP” isn’t just in its sound but in its affirmation of longstoryshort’s versatility. Since the debut of “Back to the Start” in 2019, he has continuously expanded the boundaries of what’s expected in electronic music. This audacious spirit has catapulted him into the limelight, with top-tier artists like Dr. Fresch and Don Diablo acknowledging his prowess. His discography, replete with groundbreaking EPs, singles, and remixes, stands testament to a talent that refuses to be boxed in.
What sets longstoryshort apart from his contemporaries is his commitment to storytelling. By fusing elements of cinematic bass, hip-hop, and house, he crafts immersive soundscapes that go beyond the beats. The “redemption” EP on JustUs Records, for instance, paints a vivid picture that listeners can lose themselves in. This knack for narrative has seen him grace the stages of major festivals like Ultra Miami and EDC Las Vegas.
As 2023 unfolds, longstoryshort continues to weave his magic, with his recent emotive melodic house EP on Insomniac Records showcasing yet another dimension of his artistry.
In the grand tapestry of electronic music, longstoryshort stands out as a sonic raconteur. Each track, each beat, each drop is a chapter in a tale he’s spinning, inviting listeners to be a part of his ever-evolving narrative. With “UPUPUP”, he invites us to embrace the chaos, to revel in the unknown, and to celebrate the sheer unpredictability of life and music. And as the bass drops, one can’t help but dive deep into this wild, exhilarating ride he’s masterfully crafted.
