Dreams by Shlump

Trailing his most recent lauded WAKAAN release ‘Psychedelic Explorer,’ Shlump now prepares to make his SSKWAN debut with new abstract downtempo single, ‘Dreams.’ Slowing down the tempo from his familiar upbeat left field bass, ‘Dreams’ is introduced through a gradual atmospheric arrangement, featuring a fitting namesake vocal sample from the Twilight Zone and enveloping it in an expansive package of cascading synthesizers and low end basslines. Although Shlump is most often recognized as a beloved WAKAAN mainstay, ‘Dreams’ only warrants his instinctive ability to ebb and flow between genres with ease.

One of the parts of making music that I enjoy most is trying different tempos and approaches to writing. I had been wanting to write some slower tempo, more laid back songs that contrast a bit from some of the heavier music that I’ve been putting out recently.

“I tried to match the ethereal vibe of the initial sound design for this tune with the keyboard riff, and feel like the dreamy quality of the track really shines through in the second drop. It seemed like a natural fit to release this tune, as well as a couple other upcoming ones that have a similar vibe, with Sskwan.” - Shlump
