8-Bit Culprit Releases Acid Infused, Nostalgia Evoking Track ‘MELT’
27 October 2023
Kolkata-based independent Indian producer Faraz Ehsaan aka 8-Bit Culprit just released a new single ‘MELT’ following the release of 'Refurbished Robots', his single on the Ellum Audio imprint curated by Maceo Plex.
‘MELT’ pays tribute to his influences within the electronic music spectrum, iconic acts from the 90s such as The Prodigy, Daft Punk and Underworld. The track captures a strong sense of nostalgia by blending the classic elements of progressive house and trance with contemporary production techniques, especially the iconic TB-303.
The song is infused with vintage acid sounds reminiscent of a significant and nostalgic era in electronic music. The combination of a classic old-school vibe and an infectious groove creates an energy that is immensely dance floor friendly. Characterised by powerful drum beats with a meticulously crafted lead sound created from a pitched-up tom, "MELT" is said to have been rigorously tested for over two years on various occasions and has the qualities to become a dance floor favourite.
Listen to ‘MELT’ here and follow 8-Bit Culprit for more information.
