Falling by Breaka

Welcoming in 2024 with the seventh edition of my self-release project. ‘Falling’ and ‘Time to Be Real’ are an ode to those high-intensity, eyes-wide moments on the dancefloor, and intended as a direct interface between you and the soundsystem.

Featuring Manchester’s Conni on ‘Falling’, the soulful nature of her voice lead me into a futurist sound fx palette, and in turn somehow ended up with all sorts of gnarly dnb bass sounds too. I really like how this track bounces in and out of uk funky & dembow style breaks, in your face 4x4 and uplifting sections too.

My brief foray down a techno-focused direction, Time to Be Real, came together pretty quickly after a big night out a year or so ago. After I found the sample from a film clip, I knew I had to reference ‘Be Real’ for the track title. To me it makes a lot of sense as a soundtrack of watching someone try to take a selfie in an awkward situation.
