Orchestral riffs and sci-fi inspired dubstep comes to a crossroads on Montréal, Canada based Draeden’s clever New Noise debut CROSSFIRE, featuring Garrett Raff
‘Crossfire’ follows ‘Dystopia’, Draeden’s recent song released through Seven Lions’ Ophelia Records, as well as stand-alone singles ‘Arbiter’ and ‘Ilusion’. Since the release of ‘Conquest’, Draeden’s 2019 four-track debut EP on Kannibalen Records, the emerging cinematic bass producer has carved out an enthralling brand engulfed in cyberpunk, video games, and futuristic ideas. Balancing sparse tranquility with hyper-rhythmic production, Draeden pulled inspiration from nature’s changing fall colors on ‘Crossfire’.
The song’s turbulent lyrical theme details the story of when vocalist Garrett Raff found out that someone he loved had been unfaithful. This set him off on a crossfire of emotions, expressed through the subtle sadness and confusion of the song’s verses and the high energy anger found within the chorus. ‘Crossfire’ is the latest example of how Draeden meticulously melds cinematic soundscapes and feverish beats to push the boundaries of dance music into a whole new universe.
