MUMBAI: HI-LO is back with another heavy duty banger to keep pulses racing and the spirit of the dancefloor alive inside all of us. ‘Kronos’ is an absolute monster and one of his toughest tracks to date.
Huge kick drums kick a hole in your speaker in a hardstyle fashion as the track begins. Hi-hats bite in perfect opposition. The rumblings of a bassline are just discernible in the depths. The breakdown arrives to lay on a rush-inducing synth arpeggio and reverberant, commanding bass tones. All that’s left is for a big snare roll to thrust us towards the drop, where the bass gnarls and warps further and more gritty groove inflection is injected. The second break lays on big, swirling chords that mimic the bass/lead melody and send the track soaring higher. The contrast between this dizzying, euphoric, build-up, and the hammer-tough sections that surround it is incredibly pleasing. This one is set to be a big hit with the techno crowd.
