Dousman

Li avanse dousman, san dout.
Chak mouvman pa kite w chape.
Pa gen fòs —
lage kò w se sèl opsyon an.

She moves slowly, never unsure.
Each step leaves no space to resist.
Nothing is forced —
letting go is the only option.

Great use of a the vocal sample, and the bass is awesome in this track, love that growl.

Love all the atmospherics in this; reminiscent of a cool bygone era.  Revisiting that vocal at the end was a cool surprise

Whamr!

It's strange how almost quiet this track is. It bubbles with energy and that growly bass is ever present, but the bell-like lead, clicky percussion and vocal sample all have a very light touch. Great contrast.

Thank you! The bass was meant to add a bit of menace underneath the vocal, so I'm glad that combination worked.

Thanks for listening! I always enjoy hiding little callbacks in a track, so I'm happy the vocal's return didn't go unnoticed.

Thanks! I'll add "Whamr" to the official genre description.

Thanks! That's exactly the contrast I was aiming for: a track that feels energetic and weighty without ever becoming overly aggressive.

Dousman (Haitian Creole) mean "Doucement" in french (same prononciation) meaning in english "quiet" smile
