He’s got a restless brain. He’s always learning. He wakes up early. He plays well with others. And most importantly, he makes melodic gems and EDM bangers, and then gives them away for free.
“I’ve tried a lot of things in my life. I’ve had a lot of jobs. There are some successes and some failures, but I’ve never been able to say I’m passionate about something until I started producing music, so I’m just going to do this from now on.”
He’s known only by the moniker, 5ofclubs, and his new album is called, I Am 5ofclubs. We like it a lot.
“I am 5ofclubs
I make music
All kinds of music
Nice to meet you”
HERE’S WHAT WE DUG MOST…
Enthusiastic optimism opens the album in, Right Direction (feat. Josh Dreon), a perfect anthem for the present moment’s global crisis; something to remind us all to look a little deeper for the good stuff, try a little harder to encourage one another, and always strive for the light…
“We’ve all been through some bad times
But now we’re only goin’ up…”
A blueprint club track, Truth, is loaded with deep kicks, layers of synth, a catchy vocal hook, and plenty of dynamic appeal. Colleagues like Calvin Harris and The Avener come to mind.
Combining acoustic and electronic elements, Wrld Trvlrs (feat. Krysta Youngs), offers a sparkling world sound and a freedom-inspiring message…
“Travel the world…
Just you and I…”
OUR FAVORITE TRACK… Saving the best for last, the cinematically dynamic, Take Me Away, reminds us instantly of the likes of Mr. Probz. Massive, crescendoing explosions of synth light up, sparkle, fade and return throughout. (Think: Sprink break in Acapulco Bay.)
IN CONCLUSION…
A skilled and imaginative technician. Professional grade stuff to dance off one’s ass. A consistent and impressive evolution in an equally impressive and growing anthology of work. 5ofclubs’ latest album, I Am 5ofclubs, contains the depth of bass and kick, the expanse of synth and hook, and the overall energetic vibration to inspire movement. Fans of the iconic producers name above and below will enjoy this EP immensely. Check out I Am 5ofclubs below.
