Setting the tone with an immersive synthscape and pulsating beat, with intricate percussion details and textures, MUZ opens Mirage with intrigue and dimensionality.
The opus expands into a tech house meets EDM hybrid soundscape, and we are obsessed. Tripping, rising high hats leads us to an orchestral segment, where we experience luscious string chops and organic melodies that draw us in further. Subtle steel percussion and poetic flute instrumentation generate a euphoric vibe, whilst vocal samples add amplified energy to the composition.
We appreciate the Eastern energy that takes us on a transcendental journey, and how cohesive the sonic tapestry of Mirage truly is, in line with the name of the piece.
After support from Ultra Worldwide for his remix of Maddy O’ Neal and LIINKS‘s Evergreen, Mirage is the first in a wave of new releases from MUZ tailored for the dance floor!
As a well-rounded musician, DJ, and sound designer, MUZ, also known as Muzammil Syed, has been steadily gathering support throughout various parts of the globe and has been released on G-Mafia Records (Brazil), Kiwistage Music (Netherlands), The Undergrowth (US), and more.
Inspired by a traditional Indian background and the beautiful backdrops of the Appalachian mountains, where he resided most of his life, the airy textures, woodwinds, and soundscapes in his music aims to instill a sense of nostalgia.
We have added Mirage to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream MUZ‘s wider discography including HIBACHI and of course, his remix of Evergreen!
