Setting the tone with a dramatic bell toll and immersive frequency, AlanP opens Ravers and Parties with atmospheric vocals and the situational lyrics, “Drinks are flowing, the party’s going…”, before taking us on a decadent journey.
The opus expands with references to freedom and dancing, before an iconic EDM-adjacent drop that has us in awe. We appreciate the intricate design of the composition and the evocative brand of storytelling that Ravers and Parties exudes.
AlanP cites genre inspirations including house, dubstep, and drum and bass, but it is clear that the rising star is creating a hedonistic universe of his own. We learn that AlanP is a resident DJ at The VIP of Saint Etiénne in France, and the single is actually a collaboration with them, credited as The VIP.
Elaborating on the essence of the song, the mysterious DJ slash producer simply references “of these dreams and of partying” when quizzed about the deeper meaning; alas, sometimes life is not that deep after all! He also references Petit, AVICII, and LMFAO as some of the artists that inspired his sound.
Speaking on his connection with music and desire to make it his career, AlanP confesses, “It was at the end of the third year that I made the decision to try my best to achieve my dream. To the great despair of my parents, and multiple attempts to dissuade me, I did not give up. Knowing nothing, I joined a musical training centre for a period of two years.”
Overall, we vibe with the intention and appreciate AlanP innovative tech skills and clean mix. Ravers and Parties has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream AlanP‘s wider discography including Live You, and his 2022 album, Hold On.
