PREMIERE: Melouie – Eyes Closed #Techno #IDM #Melodic

Here’s a just released track from Melouie that flirts with a blend of melodic organic techno and IDM.
Melouie is from Berlin, Germany and he produces melodic techno, IDM, and downtempo. And you get all of that on Eyes Closed. He says “My music is a mixture between real recorded instruments and analog electronics.” And you get that too.
Eyes Closed opens with a soundscape of IDM creaks and crackles with a bit of melodic parping. It’s all very anticipatory until it settles down into a more conventional melodic techno structure but still with some creaking in the background to add that machine sense to all the warming organic sounds. The track has an optimistic sense of growth with a lovely break half way through. It’s one of those build and build track that ends really rather epic. Lovely way to start the week.
