Swedish electronic maestro John Dahlbäck returns with the incredible 222, released on FM Recordings on 2nd May. 222 is the first single from RESONANCE, the hotly anticipated compilation LP brought to you by Swedish masters Floormagnet.
222 grabs you from the start, a clear, deep kick drum synchronising with tribal pads. A staccato synth line rises from the timbal, almost organically and deep, melodic keys wash around as John Dahlbäck expertly weaves his theatrical soundscape around you. As you stand on a gigantic space deck, every star, every nebula, every galaxy spinning above you in ultra-high definition. Then comes the throbbing bassline. Layer upon layer of mesmerizing synth builds as you become one with the universe.
The beat cuts. Angelic, celestial synths dance around you, lifting your body transcendentally, before the beats cut back in, deeper, controlling your spinal column, this is your moment, strictly between you and the music.
If you enjoyed 222, there’s a lot more to come. Floormagnet’s upcoming RESONANCE compilation album brings you the very best of the Swedish producers, showing what happens when they are granted the freedom to explore beyond conventional electronic genres and to embrace an unpolished and genuine sound.
John Dahlbäck explains: “My decision to join the RESONANCE compilation with Floormagnet stems from my deep-rooted passion for authentic electronic music and my commitment to fostering creativity within the community. In an era where electronic music often leans towards mainstream appeal, I resonate with Floormagnet’s dedication to producing music that stays true to the dance floor rather than conforming to label demands.”
