Rising electronic producer/DJ Arky Waters will be giving us his highly anticipated debut album “Holdin’ On” on July 2nd titled “Holdin’ On” (presave), but he still has one more teaser to share with us this week!
‘Just’ is a masterclass in controlled chaos. Moving away from the polished grooves of traditional tech-house and breakbeat, the track leans into a high-tension, experimental landscape. By intentionally placing snares in irregular patterns and deploying “out of time” vocal chops, Waters creates a sonic environment that feels both urgent and unpredictable. It is a stark departure that showcases his evolution from a club-focused producer to a boundary-pushing artist.
“I wanted to make an experimental track for the album – something that felt intense and chaotic. I was just throwing snares in random places and chopping vocals up out of time. I feel like a lot of the time in electronic music you can feel tempted to make things really formulaic and groovy and I wanted to break out of that. It’s definitely a direction I’ll be running with moving forward.” ~ Arky Waters
