Tropical Warped Dancehouse
I adore this song. It pulls from genres like Tropical House, Dancehall, and Future Bass, with an insanely cool application of auto-tuning and Ableton vocal sampling, on top of plenty of other great, sharp drums and synth sounds. I would be totally thrilled to hear this track work its way into any live DJ set, especially if I was dancing to it at night on a tropical beach at a festival somewhere. MIBW is the moniker of 23-year-old Aaron Riggins, from Vancouver, BC, and "These Grounds" features the talents of vocalist Steffani Haeder. I truly hope MIBW continues to make such innovative, funky, and soulful tracks, and I'll make sure to look him up if I'm ever in BC.
"I cant remember why this world seems to decay
Beneath the clutter that we claim divine each day
Wishing that time would just go on and pass us by
When did we decide it was pointless to try
But I cant seem to keep my head on straight and I
drift into this whole new place.
But I cant seem to keep my head on straight and I
drift into this whole new place.
A dying entity that struggles to remain
Wants to shed itself of our own selfish gain
The grounds we claim as our own betray us all
This world only wants to see us try and fall "
