Broey. embraces raw creativity with new EP dancing dumpster fire
While the image of electronic music artists and their releases invokes massive crowds, loud bass, and lots of energy, the genre is far more expansive. American producer Broey. expands upon the genre with his emotionally driven and ambient productions. For his latest EP release, Broey. has come to terms with projects that he never felt he found the finish line with. Aptly titled dancing dumpster fire, the producer said, “I wasn’t trying to make something polished, most of these were just stuck at a stalemate where I never was fully content with them, but I just came to terms with the idea that sometimes you just need to let go of older ideas to move onto better ones.” Despite these sentiments, the collection is intriguing and engaging throughout, allowing listeners to hear beyond the general glean and polish of the modern dance world.
shake!
Kicking off dancing dumpster fire is the emotionally driven, pulsing rhythms of shake! The song itself is light and welcoming, while developed enough to serve as a late-night anthem or midday boost of energy without overwhelming the listener. The title says it all; this song will make the crowd shake with its infectious lead and driving percussion.
old fashion
Coming off of shake!, Broey. delivers another more mellow journey with old fashion. The use of the saxophone attracts the listener, offering a melody nearly as infectious as the iconic sax solo of Wham’s Careless Whisper. Within the confines of this ‘unfinished’ collection, it is a fascinating look into the mindset of the producer. It shows his willingness to take chances and think outside the box, unafraid of creating something that doesn’t fit into the modern trends or algorithms.
lil luv
The experimentation continues on lil luv, with keys that tie together with the collection’s opening track, shake!, this feels even more defined. Complete with a light, female vocal topline, lil luv has more structure due to the addition of a verse and chorus segment. The lyrics are great, and this is a track that certainly deserves fresh edits and remixes in the future as Broey. and other producers explore the many possibilities for such an infectious track.
brainrot (feat. Vivid Fever Dreams)
The first track on dancing dumpster fire that calls out an outside collaborator, brainrot is another exploration of the softer side of electronic music. The sax returns, providing a calming, laid-back progression atop the minimalist production. Despite the title, this song will stimulate the brain and mood of the listener, combining soft flourishes, record skips, and lush ambiance.
glfm
For fans who don’t create music, they may not fully understand the process of coming up with a title for a song. An innocuous collection of letters, such as glfm, is a great example of how an artist’s vision is sometimes beyond the listener’s reach, but it also adds to the intrigue. On glfm, Broey. feels like he came closer than most of the album’s tracks to finding the finish line. The soft female vocal is mysterious yet demands attention, while the synths, bass, and production feel fuller and more developed.
i can do better (broey. remix)
Giving a fresh take to I Can Do Better by DreamEater and Broken Blythe, Broey. again delivers a more laidback production than the original without losing any of the energy and power, thanks to his unique style. Here, a stunning guitar solo provides a fresh element, while the vocal topline, repeating “I can do better,” feels like the perfect refrain for a project of unfinished works.
4u vip
Closing out dancing dumpster fire is the deep house stylings of 4u vip. With a massive bass pulsing throughout and a glitched-out vocal sample, Broey. turns the energy up on this track. The sax returns to the mix, but is given more of a sidekick position, slightly buried amidst the bass, synths, and vocals. At just over two minutes, the track ramps up relatively quickly, but certainly leaves listeners wanting more.
With dancing dumpster fire, Broey. captures the raw creativity and underground edge of electronic music, delivering an EP release that blends UK garage, bassline, and trance-adjacent influences.
