Gentle electronica with: Race Banyon – Let It Show

All a bit wearing so something gentle today. Here’s Race Banyon with some lovely soft electronica from his new self-titled album.

Race Banyon (Eddie Johnston) is a producer from Auckland, New Zealand. He’s been making music around for about a decade. His work is closest in style to people like Lane8 with lush dense sounds.

Race has a new self-titled ten track album out (released in October). It’s a lovely listen. But here’s Let It Show from the album to give you a way in.

Let It Show is that intersection between techno and deep house. It’s full of deep rich sounds but with all the edges polished off.

It’s a soft sheen of a track. Beats are chunky with bass but their punch is cleverly blunted. Synths come in waves of chords, always offering something uplifting but nothing so much as to require euphoric. This makes it a satisfying listen, offering lots but without asking too much from you in return.

Wonderful, warm enveloping music. Thanks Race.
