Built on cerebral synths, quick sweeps and euphoric arpeggiators, ‘Carried Away’ echoes the best Jungle and DnB around, offering a tight, hard-hitting and intense groove that never goes out of line, preferring elegant sounds to larger dubstep fuzziness. Courtesy of Nicky Roland and Royden Vigilance, this collaborative record blends dance music with a more mellow and pop-oriented topline, delivering vocals that feel meditative, almost cathartic.
A proficient singer and songwriter, Vigilance’s nuanced songwriting work seem to perfectly fits Roland’s House and EDM-inspired electronica, giving birth to a track that feels eclectic, while having solid references. Certainly a wonderful listening experience.
Delving into the inspiration behind the record, the pair explains: “Despite our House music background, this direction showcases our musical synergy and transatlantic influences, delivering an adrenaline-pumping experience. ‘Carried Away’ embodies our passion for drum and bass, blending cutting-edge beats, infectious melodies, and awe-inspiring bass hooks.”
