Setting the tone with an immersive and meditative synthscape with sensual and rippling drums, before we are hypnotized by intricate keys, DM Ascension open their latest song Affinity with a chilled and relaxing energy.
The keys continue as the main protagonist of the piece before we experience an exquisite trumpet performance from the iconic ARIA award winning jazz legend, Miroslav Bukovsky.
Speaking on the intention of the composition, DM Ascension, who are Australian duo Mike Dooley and Daniel White, say, “Affinity takes its inspiration from the enchanting luminescence of the starry night sky.”
Artists who had an influence on this track include Christophe Goze, Lemongrass and Aandra, but it is clear from the sonic landscape that DM Ascension are creating a universe of their own.
It is no surprise that DM Ascension have been featured by music blogs Indie Criollo, Fruitsonic and HRMNY Presents with their previous track Best of Me, as well as securing airplay on Brussels airlines VIP Lounge program, Guido’s Lounge Cafe, Noosa FM, Costa Del Mar’s Chillout channel and Smooth Jazz Global Lounge Radio, with their song Oceana making the top ’50 Indie Listener Chart’ and reaching the ‘Top 100 Jazz iTunes Chart’ in Australia and Sweden.
We have added Affinity to our New Music Spotlight playlist and continue streaming DM Ascension‘s wider discography!
