Machinedrum and Holly, renowned for their hard-hitting beats in the electronic music scene, have recently showcased their softer side. Machinedrum released his 2020 album “A View of U,” while Holly shared his “Minha Vida” album series in 2022 and 2023. Their latest endeavor is a collaborative three-track EP called “Novaform/Blueshift,” where they seamlessly blend their unique styles.
“Blueshift,” the second song on the EP, resonates with the sound of daydreams. The ethereal flute-like synths and distant vocals create a captivating atmosphere, leading listeners to the invigorating percussion. Amidst moments of aggression, characterized by pounding basslines, the duo skillfully intertwines airy melodies. The track concludes with delicate piano chords, gently awakening listeners before transitioning to the next song.
While “Novaform/Blueshift” is already available, the three tracks will also be included in a larger EP titled “天の川.” This forthcoming EP, set to be released on August 31, will feature three new songs. To get a taste of what to expect, listen to “Blueshift” below.
With their latest collaboration, Machinedrum and Holly continue to expand their creative catalogs, impressing both loyal fans and newcomers alike. This EP serves as a testament to their artistic growth and ability to captivate audiences with their innovative soundscapes.
