Rafael Cerato 'The Flying Grounds' on Odd One Out

Rafael Cerato has been busy in 2024, with releases across a variety of respected labels, and his latest sees him return to Odd One Out with 'The Flying Grounds.'

With a percussive drive at its core, the Extended Mix is a hypnotic affair. Layers of tight, rolling percussion sit alongside a smooth, evolving harmonic bed. The track's mix is nicely balanced, with the percussion holding a steady presence without overpowering the lush pads and stabs that rise and fall throughout. The airy top end gives it a sense of space, while the mid-range keeps things grounded and warm.

The result is a record that feels both driving and reflective, one that works in the later hours of a club night as easily as it does in a more considered listening session. It marks another strong addition to Cerato's growing discography and continues Odd One Out's impressive run of releases this year.
