A new solo Ingrosso tune? Count us in!
There’s been a lot of hype built around Sebastian Ingrosso’s upcoming solo track, officially named ‘Flood‘. It will be the first time in a while that we hear something 100% made by the Swedish House Mafia member, and as such, it bears a different style from what we’re used to hearing from him.
If you were expecting some ‘Reload’ style beat? Buzzer for you, you’d be wrong. Instead, his new song has various UK Garage flavours, sort of resembling Fred again..‘s stuff, particularly on the drums. The vocal is minimalistic, the breakdown introduces constant tension, and the drops are surgically engineered to be as full as possible with as few elements as possible. An element of mastery right there.
Air Time: BBC Radio 1
Out of all places Ingrosso could’ve aced and locked a premiere, he went down the old reliable route — Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. The legendary station aired ‘Flood’ for the very first time, as Tong introduced it as a proper Sebastian Ingrosso ID. Check out the stream below.
Festival Time: Tomorrowland Brasil
And far from being the only place in which listeners could catch a glimpse of this new ID, those who were at Itu this past weekend might have also vibed to the tune, as colleague Axwell also spun ‘Flood’ during his Mainstage set at Tomorrowland Brasil. Watch below.
This one should come out between this week and the next one, according to our calculations, so stay tuned for more!
