Morgan Wright goes Bubble Side Up with his newest single, an evocative slice of shimmering downtempo that’s equally suited for an after-hours dancefloor comedown or a misty night drive through the metropolis.
Bubble Side Up confidently arrives and instantly captivates with an odyssey of sci-fi textures - foggy, humid pads, sparkling accents, and a saturated, warm synth pulse. It’s set in motion by a hefty, live drum break that’s subsequently crushed into a dubbed out layer of gauze, and spiked with a stepping bassline that is felt right in the body.
The elements dance together and leave as quickly as they’ve come, reflecting a deftly paced track that leaves you wanting to immediately spin it again for another round. In Bubble Side Up, Morgan Wright finds a new harmony between his experience as a breakbeat lynchpin alongside his more recent live music production sensibilities.
The result is a song that has the emotional intelligence and imagination of Morgan’s work with Acopia fused to the propulsive momentum of his best club material. Bubble Side Up instantly feels like it might be timeless.
