[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Fusing classic Afro elements with cutting-edge Afro tech sounds and soul-stirring lyrics, ‘So High’ stands as a high-magnitude collaboration between Andrea Oliva, Arodes, and Antâgonite. Designed with the club scene in mind, this track thrives on an electrifying soundscape that excels as a peak-time dancefloor anthem. At 124 BPM, the track embodies the energetic pulse characteristic of afro tech house. The rhythmic foundation is built upon intricately layered percussive elements, featuring traditional African drums seamlessly blended with crisp, modern electronic beats. This fusion not only pays homage to Afro roots but also propels the genre into contemporary spaces with a relentless energy that escalates throughout the track. The production showcases meticulous attention to detail. Dynamic synth stabs and atmospheric pads ebb and flow, creating a sense of movement and progression. The bassline is deep yet groovy, providing a solid backbone that drives the momentum forward. Clever use of effects—such as reverb tails, delay patterns, and subtle automation—enhances the spatial depth, making it an immersive auditory experience. Vocally, ‘So High’ shines with compelling performances that are both emotive and rhythmically engaging. The lyrical delivery complements the track’s flow, interweaving with the instrumental layers to heighten the overall intensity. Vocal processing techniques, including slight pitch modulation and harmonic layering, add texture and richness without overpowering the core groove. The track’s arrangement is masterfully crafted to maintain continuous energy. Strategic breakdowns and build-ups are employed, creating moments of tension and release that captivate the listener and invigorate the dancefloor. The transitions are smooth, aided by well-executed filter sweeps and dynamic shifts that keep the track fresh and engaging from start to finish. ‘So High’ emerges as a hot commodity for the summer season—a track that not only showcases technical prowess in its production but also resonates with the emotional and physical drive that defines afro tech house. #PureGold LoveIT [/content]
