DY3NASTY tests the balance of bleak ambience and diamond-tipped Big Room on an introspective single that remains true to his own idiosyncratic style. On his latest song “Get There”, he re-stages its theatrics for a more distracted generation. Influenced by electrifying synths and rapid rhythms, DY3NASTY stirs an atmosphere that works and comes from deep within.
The producer never strays far from his sonic palette of smooth breaks and horizonless build ups. That’s not a slight; finding deep satisfaction in the shifting of time. “Get There” sends synth flares into a sky of white noise before erupting into anxious drum loops and towering bass.
The forward motion is palpable and poignant. The hi-hats cut through, the crispest feature in a dubbed-out world. Things get even livelier with the added vocals dedicated to introspection. The producer delivers a smartly crafted, comfortably tune of grooves and melancholy, and it seems possible that DY3NASTY has found new ways to make his high energy track register a pulse.
In a landscape saturated with well-worn tropes, DY3NASTY shows willingness to embrace his own idiosyncrasies—no matter whether the sounds he works with are trending or not— and that it makes for truly satisfying work. The devil, as they say, is in the details. He brings stylistic savvy and studio finesse to a song that will stick out in his catalog.
“Get There” is front-loaded with breezy, house-inspired grooves, shot through with a truly excellent bassline, and fleshed out with a handful of surprisingly effective sad-trap tearjerker melodies. The production is comfortably remarkable on headphones or good speakers, and is a rare example of how its sound design could go toe to toe against most “proper” dance music. It will make any car ride approximately 300% more enjoyable.
