New Audio: Solid Spark Shares Summery “Higher”

Solid Spark is a rising electronic music producer and DJ, who has caught the attention of the global electronic scene with a sound that seamlessly blends contemporary pop sound with golden age EDM nostalgia. For the rising electronic music producer and DJ, the result is material that’s dance floor friendly but packs a deep emotional and energetic resonance. 

Earlier this year, I wrote about “Dream,” a slick, club friendly banger featuring glistening synths, a sultry and yearning vocal sample, skittering beats and euphoria-inducing hook and drops. The production revealed a producer with an uncannily sophisticated sense of soulful craftsmanship.

Building upon a growing profile, the rising producer’s latest single “Higher” is a club friendly bop featuring glistening synths, a chopped and screwed vocal sample-driven, incredibly catchy hook, a yearning female vocal sample for the verses, skittering tweeter and woofer rattling thump. While continuing to cement his reputation for crafted and soulful electronic music, “Higher” may arguably be the most summery and catchiest song of the producer’s growing catalog to date.

New Video: Go On a Trip In the Clouds with Evening Elevator

New York-based indie electro pop act Evening Elevator is a new collaborative project featuring a pair of the city’s accomplished artists — singer/songwriter Tim Segreto and Dub Sonata, a producer, who has worked with Jidenna, Rhymefest and Sage Francis. Their latest single “Higher” is a slow-burning yet cinematic track, centered around a soaring vocal sample, shimmering synths, twinkling keys, a dramatic string sample and thumping beats paired with Segreto’s plaintive vocals. The end result is a song that’s hypnotic and expansive in a way that would draw comparisons to Bonobo, The Beat Escape and others — while evoking the sensation of a waking dream.

Filmed by Dub Sonata, the recently released video for Higher” takes the viewer on a trip over the foggy hills of Northern California.
