Luke Garcia, Ian Ludvig 'Something' on Borders Of Light

This one is a serene and propulsive slice of progressive melodic house from Luke Garcia and Ian Ludvig. Out on Borders Of Light, the track delivers a hypnotic, slow-burning journey that feels both expansive and deeply emotive. There is a real sense of space in the production, with glowing pads and a restrained, elegant core that lets the atmosphere breathe.

Floating on a 120 BPM pulse and sitting in a rich F major, the record is all about harmony rather than percussion. There is not a huge amount going on across the drums, the arrangement is held back and leaves plenty of room under the peaks, with a subdued treble that keeps everything warm and intimate. As it unfolds, the layers softly bloom, making it a track designed for late-night introspection as much as it is for the dancefloor.

Since emerging in 2014, Luke Garcia has continued to build a distinct catalogue that spans labels like Frequenza, Asymmetric Recordings, Dialtone and BeatFreak, with a recent outing on Einmusika. 'Something', his collaborative effort with Ian Ludvig, is another classy addition to his discography and has been turning heads, including a recent placement in Ten Walls' Spring Selection.
