Coming at you is a big time collaboration bouncing ideas back and forth across the Atlantic. The track’s contributors include Besomorph (Germany), N3WPORT (USA), And LUNIS (France). The sound pulls heavily from Besomorph’s darker melodies with N3WPORT interjecting traditional trap elements–most notably the percussion.
One element that we are especially fond of is the rim shot that punctuates the beat. A “rim shot” refers to the striking of the snare drum in a manner where the stick contacts the metal edge of the drum and the drum face simultaneously which adds a sharp stab to accentuate the fatter snare sound. By staggering the kick drum with the rim shot during the chorus they both are given an open sound stage with which to play in.
Now in regard to the vocals, things get a little bit goofy. We believe that they were pulled from “Zombie” by Janee and LUNIS which is itself a cover of a Cranberries song. Does that make the rendition from Besomorph and N3WPORT technically a remix? Maybe, maybe not. We’re also unsure about the extent to which LUNIS aided in the creation of the new song, but given the cleanliness of the delivery we assume that the vocal files were handed over with the singer’s blessings.
It should be noted that this LUNIS has no association with Lunice Pierre, the Canadian producer who constitutes half of TNGHT. The band LUNIS is comprised of Lauréne Bourvon (vocals) and Louis Mevel (production). If you’d like to check out some of there other work, here is a link to their acoustic version of “Out of Town,” a song composed by Janee and LUNIS.
