When it comes to the world of Deep House and EDM, there’s always room for fresh and innovative sounds that push the boundaries of the genre while still keeping the dance floor alive. ITAM’s latest single, “Desire,” is a perfect example of how an artist can infuse their personal style into a track, creating a soundscape that is both engaging and distinctive. As a DJ with a deep connection to the pulsating heart of nightlife, ITAM has delivered a track that resonates with the energy of the clubs while offering a unique, introspective journey.
“Desire” is a track that grabs your attention from the very first beat, driven by a meticulously crafted rhythm that showcases ITAM’s understanding of what makes Deep House so compelling. The rhythm is steady yet dynamic, offering a sense of progression that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish. It’s not overly aggressive but instead strikes a balance that allows the listener to lose themselves in the groove. The subtle intricacies in the percussion work add depth to the track, making it a perfect fit for both the dance floor and a more relaxed, reflective listening experience.
One of the standout elements of “Desire” is its bassline. In Deep House, the bass is often the foundation upon which the entire track is built, and ITAM has clearly taken this to heart. The bassline in “Desire” is smooth, warm, and enveloping, providing a solid underpinning that drives the track forward. It’s not just a background element but an integral part of the track’s identity, guiding the listener through the various layers of sound with a gentle yet insistent push. The bass works in harmony with the rhythm, creating a synergy that is both hypnotic and energizing.
Another noteworthy aspect of “Desire” is the melodic content, which ITAM has crafted with a keen ear for what makes Deep House resonate with its audience. The melody is subtle, almost elusive, weaving in and out of the track like a whispered secret. It adds a layer of emotional depth to the track, giving it a soul that is often missing in more formulaic EDM productions. ITAM’s choice of a “purely Dance voice, almost commercial” adds a contrasting sweetness to the track, making it accessible while still retaining its underground edge.
ITAM’s “Desire” is a testament to his ability to blend various influences into a cohesive whole. It’s clear that his background in House Music and his exploration of Deep House, Deep and melodic Techno, and Progressive have all contributed to the sound of this track. Recorded in his own studio with the help of professional sound engineers for mixing and mastering, “Desire” is a polished, high-quality production that we are proud to feature on our webzine.
In the end, ITAM’s “Desire” isn’t just a track—it’s an experience. It’s a journey through sound that reflects the artist’s passion for music and his desire to share that passion with others. As he puts it, “It all comes down to one thing: GOOD MUSIC.” And with “Desire,” ITAM has delivered just that.
