Described as a “rising force” in the realm of electronic music, Uruguay’s Facu Baez has brought a multifaceted, genre-spanning sound to the Revival New York label with his latest single. The electrifying release is titled Facu Baez – New Era, and it’s truly a treat for the ears of Deep Tech and House music fans.
The main feature of Facu Baez – New Era is its persistent, addictive percussion, the funky hi-hats and bassy grooves of which start to lull you into an almost trance-like state. In fact, these beats are all we hear for the first minute of the single, a bold musical decision that ultimately pays off for Baez; once you start listening to those beats, you can’t stop listening, and ultimately it’s their infectious groove that gets you hooked on the rest of the track.
This also means that, when other elements are eventually introduced to the track, Facu Baez – New Era moves to a whole new immersive level. Weaving rhythmic vocal samples into the preexisting beat, at this point Baez gradually starts to add more and more layers to the song, increasing the tension until it reaches an unmissable climax. The good vibes keep on flowing right until the end too, when Baez brings in some brash synths and subtle melodic lines to keep the energy high.
Many electronic music artists have been dubbed “unique” and “distinctive” over the years, but with New Era, Facu Baez proves that he really is worthy of such descriptions.
“It is a statement of intent, marking the beginning of a new sonic chapter with a more mature and defined approach” Baez himself reveals about the track.
From this explanation it sounds like there is plenty more exciting music coming from Baez over the next few months, and if it sounds anything like New Era, we can’t wait to hear it.
