Bass dark Friday with: Johnny Haag – The Levitator #Moog #Bass #Synth
Friday should be a lift into the weekend. Not today. A day redolent with the promise of bad stuff.. Scratchy eyes from too little sleep. One of those ready to pick an unnecessary fight days. Here’s Johnny Haag with The Levitator to provide the soundtrack.
Johnny Haag is from Portland Oregon. His background is in the bass but these days he’s into deep analog synths and beats. The track is the Levitator. It’s a bit of a misnomer since it’s such a bass heavy track it’s not levitating anywhere. This track doesn’t sit easily in the usual genres. It has a bit of a 70s electronic funk feel. But focused on sleazy bass synths and funky rock beats. It’s a bit leather jacket blaxploitation. It’s flick knives and short brutish fights. A total soundtrack piece that revels in all things dark and sleazy. It’s the sound of late night neon strips. Coffee going cold. Chilled winds. Stakeouts in cars. The darkness of the small hours before the dawn. Brilliant.
