MUMBAI: Multi-hyphenate artist and producer Swayló continues his meteoric rise in the dance music scene with a new experimental single ‘Ascension’ set for release on Thursday, January 28th. Drawing from the global sounds of Native America, Africa, and the Amazon, Swaylo fuses techno, house, and hyphy hip-hop instrumentals to create an empowering and transcendental sound.
Created in sync with the full moon cycle and with the belief that the Earth is currently going through an ‘Ascension,’ Swayló takes us on a visceral journey with his latest single and lays the framework for a multi-dimensional experience through music. Using classic retro samples, Roland keyboards, and world instruments such as the Turkish Baglama and the Dulcimer, Swayló creates basslines with a melodic, tribal, and rhythmic groove. Welcoming the listener to an “ancient future” with an ambient vocal sample, ‘Ascension’ aims to ignite a divine spiritual awakening within audiences. A forward-thinking concept rooted in Swayló’s ancient tradition and view of dance music as a spiritual entity, his latest single serves as a gateway to unite dancefloors globally through the power of music.
Swayló explains about the single, “I designed this track to be centered around the idea that the Earth is going through an Ascension. As we step into a higher form of existence, our old negative ways and patterns will be left behind. We will emerge into a place of pure connection with our natural environment, with others and most importantly within ourselves. “
