Heavee, a Queer artist hailing from Chicago, unveils a captivating sonic odyssey with their latest offering, "Unleash," on the renowned Hyperdub label. While their previous "Audio Assault" EP showcased a synth-driven, melodic take on footwork, "Unleash" ventures deeper into a meticulously crafted auditory realm. The album's sound palette is a refreshing amalgamation of spongy textures and zesty citrus tones, interwoven with lush, radiant chord progressions. Heavee's artistry strikes a delicate balance between light and dark, seamlessly transitioning from breezy atmospheres to clinical precision. This duality is a testament to their ability to transcend boundaries, rebuilding footwork's framework and vibe according to their unique creative vision. Rhythmically, "Unleash" is a dance floor-ready masterpiece, utilizing footwork's 160 BPM template as a launchpad for crafting innovative drum sounds that express these intricate rhythms. Heavee draws inspiration from a diverse array of genres, including R&B, rap, jazz, and grime, while subtly incorporating the bittersweet essence of vintage Detroit techno.
