Synthesizing a uniquely colorful world of his own, Bay Area producer Chris Polcyn merges flavors of 90’s electronica with new age, acid house and dub on his debut single “Breathe.” Working from a set of early digital hardware, Polcyn beams with timeless energy and brilliant production that pays homage to a variety of classic dance genres. The soothing, down-tempo atmosphere on “Breathe” evolves in ever-immersive waves of reassuring vocal samples and crystalline synth melodies, all gently riding a fresh bassline and slow-grinding drum machine. With poetic arrangement and a radiant aura of positivity, Chris Polcyn has tapped into a lavish and comforting groove on this satisfying breakout track.
