Crisp beats and unique, creative house music ideas see their way through Jody Vukas’s latest drop. ‘Echoes’ is haunting, thrilling, and inventive.
Jody Vukas is an American house musician and producer whose dynamic beats and interesting timbres have helped him gather a loyal follower base that continues to grow with each new drop. ‘Echoes’ is the title of the last release of the two-decade music veteran, and it showcases the knowledge he has amassed through his journey. A well-learned house musician who has traveled far and wide, Vukas has a sound that is steeped in folk and world music elements, all of which are displayed on ‘Echoes’, with its subdued, jungle rhythm, and processed pan flute atmospherics.
Vukas’s inspiration seems to stem from somewhere in the depth of the jungle for ‘Echoes’. The prowl of shifting percussion and the eerie sound of hollering natives, along with deep, syncopated, and throbbing bass, all of the elements on ‘Echoes’ are entrancing and disconcerting. Moreover, the production value is fantastic. A mix that’s immersive and balanced by Vukas, heightening the listening experience, and making the song’s unique atmospherics pop out.
‘Echoes’ is a fantastically subdued piece of house music with universal appeal. There is a greatly compelling nature to the sound of the restrained percussion and instrumentation that pulls you in and refuses to let go.
