New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Immediate. Incisive. Intense. The GRAMMY nominated quartet, FATUM, knows how to craft progressive-trance music that's wickedly good. FATUM's "
Chocolate" (Anjunabeats) is out now.
The intro of "
Chocolate" is deliciously gooey, like sonic syrup pouring onto a series of low, menacing horns. The effect of minor-key chords is vaguely sinister and "
Chocolate" is all the more irresistible because this tasty treat is a luxury. FATUM shows-off the group's expert studio skills by meticulously building layers into a forward-thrusting, self-sustaining track. FATUM holds the reins of churning aural seas while they ratchet up the pressure, until….boom! A drop so massive it's like jumping off a cliff. With a deep, molten sub-bass that swirls and pulses, "
Chocolate" is a thudding earthquake of a track, a force-of-nature so sublime it's pure cinema. The track is the follow-up to FATUM's "Stained Glass," and "
Chocolate" blends the group's gritty progressive sound with an memorable topline. When
Above & Beyond debuted "
Chocolate" at their ABGT (Above & Beyond Group Therapy) 250 show at The Gorge Ampitheater in Washington, the reaction was immense and instantaneous.
