Song Review/ EDM : DJ chookylightningfrog’s ‘footspring’

DJ chookylightningfrog is big on musical sensibilities. The artist, almost instantaneously creates melodic feeling and color. It’s vivid and full of feel-good impact. Like in his latest release, ‘footspring’. The soundscape starts off with a mellow trance ambience. An electric guitar line flows alongside colorful rivers of synth to create a mystical backdrop.

There’s beauty, exploration, vision, feeling and a fantastical experience. The vocals rise from this space. Processed vocals that flow with a chant-like rhythm to create psychedelic and hypnotic sensibilities. They are erratic and full of spontaneous divergence. It’s meant to be wild and unpredictable, surprising you and sometimes even shocking you. Because the footspring is a mystical place. Unfamiliar, wild, wondrous and dangerous. So you get a little bit of all of this. 

The artist uses a breakbeat rhythm to develop the energy in the soundscape. To make it propulsive and more physical. The dance comes in. There’s a lot of simultaneous stylistic action within the soundscape. It’s almost like a potion or a spell that the artist is brewing. Every step of the way, you’re absorbed by it, sipping on the expressive notions of the soundscapes. He plays with truncated rhythms in expansive spaces. Expressive vocals in a plain bass filled scene. Colorful synths with a building rhythm. All of these contradictions culminate finally in a powerful rise. It is experimental, modern, and creative. Trance, house, hip-hop, trap, breakbeat, drum n bass, dance pop. It has it all. Blended in an active and ever-evolving formula. If you enjoy artists like The Prodigy, Infected Mushroom or Astral Projection, you’re sure to be enchanted by this DJ. Listen Now!

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
