Establishing the mood with a pulsating beat crescendo and astral ad-libs of the title of the track echoing into the vast expanse of space, Egregious Beats opens A Good Time with dimensionality and dramatic notions.
The production builds into a dynamic synthscape with textured percussion that pulls out to unveil atmospheric vocals with the lyrics, “I will follow you, anywhere…”. Immediately we are enamoured by the cohesive tapestry of sound and there is no doubt that fans of Grimes will be able to connect with what Egregious Beats is creating.
The opus taps into a meditative energy whilst the lyrics paint a picture of the sun going down and the lights going out with hedonistic and escapist motifs that invite human connection, release, and adventure.
We could imagine A Good Time being played at Scorpios in Mykonos, or perhaps at Tomorrowland festival. The layered synths are sublime and cinematic, perfect for a club scene in a TV show like Euphoria or Heated Rivalry.
Speaking on the release, Egregious Beats says, “A Good Time pairs vocals with driving rhythms and euphoric energy, creating an immersive track made for both the dance floor and in the gym!”
We appreciate the intention of the artist, also known as Trevor Ouellette, and his purpose to create genre-expansive tracks tapping into progressive and melodic house with touches of trance, techno, and deep house, to move both body and mind.
Needless to say, our bodies are moving and our minds are open! We love the vibe, and have added A Good Time to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Egregious Beats, including the extended version of the track, as well as Just in Case, and Soda.
