Berlin Producer Dean Red Drops New Synthwave EP “D-ouble”

Dean Red, an upcoming music producer from Berlin, has just released a nostalgic synth-wave EP titled D-ouble. The rising star borrows styles from classic chillwave and synthwave genres with a refreshing new touch. The four-track EP features an amazing blend of soulful melodies, making it a perfect addition to gaming or easy-listening playlists. Let’s take an in-depth look at each track.

Daisy Dance

The introductory track of the EP starts with a rhythmic chord progression and a lush melody that perfectly sets the EP’s vibe. The drums, synth sound design, and subtle details have an amazing nostalgic texture that evokes old-school vibes. The track’s climax at 2:55 is a burst of fresh energy, with the composition beautifully evolving and demonstrating a compelling conclusion. Though the track lacks spoken words, it successfully conveys a sense of poetry in motion.

Digital Dream

The track begins with crisp tribal percussion and laid-back pads before the bass drum kicks in. The most appealing aspect of this track is its synthwork and harmonies. In the modern era of electronic music, tracks rarely focus on melodic content with continuously evolving melodies. Dean has executed this brilliantly. The chords and harmonies constantly evolve, creating an almost poetic movement.

Dusk Matter

This track picks up where “Digital Dream” left off, though at a slightly lower BPM with a more chill vibe. It’s heavy on the reese bass with emotive plucks layered on top. The track’s orchestration is excellent, using minimal elements to support its narrative. An interesting transition occurs at the end, introducing a vocoder-like lead accompanied by faster-paced drums.

Day Walk

The final track of the EP offers an interesting take on the genre with slightly experimental vibes. Its chord changes are perhaps the strongest on the EP. The arpeggio’s sound design and note changes are nothing short of artistry. New melodies continuously join in, carrying the composition forward and maintaining its dynamic nature.

Overall, the EP is masterfully crafted. While melodies in electronic music have become repetitive and simple, Dean has created something melodically exceptional. Be sure to follow Dean Red on Spotify and Instagram to stay updated on his upcoming projects and releases.
