Booka Shade have gifted us with a colourful collection of electronically-infused ear worms with the release of their twelfth studio album ‘For Real’, a release filled with sublime grooves and pristine production that shows they are well and truly at the top of their game.
‘For Real’ is a true showpiece of the ever-growing artistry of Booka Shade through a clear and concise focus on deepened foundations that set the tone in tact from the word go, as well as soaring instrumentation that evokes a near-cinematic styled soundscape in which listeners will instantly find themselves lost within the greatness on offer. This is achieved through a plethora of depth within the synth production, which sees layers upon layers of pads and synths melded into one another to create an ambient delight that when coupled with the lively grooves ensures a strengthened podium for us all to bask in.
‘For Real’ is a journey back to our organic, melodic roots—a blend of rediscovered ideas from our archives and fresh productions, all infused with the signature sounds that have shaped our music for over 25 years. – Booka Shade
