Enamour, SAM SHI 'Slip Away' on LIFEFORMS Music
There's no overstating the respect that Enamour has in the scene right now. With releases on Rose Avenue and Anjunadeep already this year, the LA-based producer has been on a hot streak, and his latest, for LIFEFORMS Music, lands with a sense of purpose that matches his recent form. Teaming up with SAM SHI, the 'In the Club Mix' of 'Slip Away' gets straight to business, laying down the kind of groove that rewards a discerning ear and a packed floor in equal measure.
"Following two standout releases on Rose Avenue Records and Anjunadeep already this year, the LA-based talent now unveils his latest musical offering, as he lands on LIFEFORMS with his stunning new record, Slip Away." - LIFEFORMS Music.
The track's weight sits in the drums. A spare drum figure does the heavy lifting early on, holding the attention with a temperate level and a fair amount of give under the peaks, while the top end stays bright and open. As the arrangement unfolds, those drums keep the pulse honest, allowing the record to breathe as layers of texture and voice creep in around the edges. It's a mix that understands restraint and tension, one that builds without ever forcing the issue, and it's easy to hear why Enamour has been championed as one of the most exciting artists in electronic music right now.

LIFEFORMS Music, Bandcamp about text · sourceAn unstoppable force on the international house and techno circuit, US producer and DJ Enamour is quickly garnering a reputation as one of the most exciting artists in electronic music, presenting an explorative sound palette thats as daring as it is refined. Following two standout releases on Rose Avenue Records and Anjunadeep already this year, the LA-based talent now unveils his latest musical offering, as he lands on LIFEFORMS with his stunning new record, Slip Away.
Built on a bedrock of hypnotic tribal percussion, Slip Away is a slow burn with longing vocals from LA-based, multi-instrumentalist Samanta Liza, which compliment emotive piano chords. The song builds in anticipation and energy through an immersive collection of recurrent vocal refrains, swirling synths, and airy soundscapes, before reaching a percussive apex as Enamour delivers in spades for his first release on LIFEFORMS.
