Based in the Finnish town of Vantaa, GIDE is an electronic musician and producer whose sound on his latest single is typically glacial. With gentle percussion and a mild tempo ‘All set for adventure!’ features a throbbing and massive synth bass line and some delightfully atmospheric percussive synth leads. The end result is a piece that’s stadium-sized and stylish, with unique colors that do express the Finnish fall weather.
‘All set for adventure!’ is set at a medium tempo that gives the piece and its synthetic composition room to breathe. The booming bass looms in the background, playing a single note, creating a drone of sorts, and is properly hypnotic as well as gigantic. The synth leads and tingly and curt, percussive in nature and with a modal quality to the arpeggios they play, further driving home the piece’s breezy, mid-air quality.
A thrilling new addition to GIDE’s growing catalog, the artist believes ‘All set for adventure!’ to be his most involved and highest quality work to date. ‘All set for adventure!’ is a stylish piece of techno that showcases GIDE’s progress in his craft.
