JP Lantieri and Hadron Sounds have collaborated for the first time on a new track titled Graveyard Jam that portrays the epic events of the living and the dead interacting on a legendary night at a burial ground. The track is the first single released from both artists for 2024. Together they sought to merge the worlds of Dark Techno and Electro Dance music with a result that will make your atoms dance, which fittingly is a phrase that has become the motto for Hadron Sounds. The result from JP Lantieri & Hadron Sounds – Graveyard Jam is a song that not only brings the living and dead together but also rallies fans from across many musical genres that include Techno, dance, cinematic, gaming, and House music.
The musical foundation for Graveyard Jam is made up of a wet kick drum keeping the beat with bass synth off beats and assorted auxiliary percussion sounds. Synth arpeggiations evolve into the scene coming out of the introduction of the song and then climaxes as the groove comes to a brief pause that makes way for a drum riser that leads us to the first main section of the track. The main section reestablishes the kick drum working in tandem with the synth arpeggios as a new entity is introduced as the main focus in the form of a mind-etching repeating trumpet motif that is triggered unexpectedly on the off beats of each phrase.
A breakdown section occurs at the song’s midpoint as pizzicato-plucked instruments accompany the beat that is now played by brittle drumsticks instead of a deep kick drum that conjures up visuals of skeletons moving in unison together. The breakdown grows as a deep bowed synth bass is added under the brittle moving percussion and then elevates another notch as the synth arpeggios return. The arpeggios sequence their way upwards with a repeated melody that continues as the beat returns and leads JP Lantieri & Hadron Sounds – Graveyard Jam to its conclusion as the synths fade out leaving just the beat before everything comes to a complete stop. This new unifying track is now available to be streamed and leaves us with hopes of future collaborations between JP Lantieri and Hadron Sounds.
