One Thing
There’s nothing quite like going down a Soundcloud rabbit hole. A month or so ago a friend of mine introduced me to a fantastic singer, songwriter and producer named Henry Green. While perusing his Soundcloud profile, I came across “Keep Me Gold,” an amazing bass-house track made in collaboration with another UK producer named Barny Rubble. I was so impressed that I had to check out some more of Rubble’s music. Then, I found “Sucrose”–an absolutely enormous and filthy future house jam, which has since been the soundtrack of many late night shenanigans including a full-volume play in an Uber ride that probably got me a one-star review.
Since then, we’ve been patiently awaiting new music from Rubble, and today it has finally arrived with his latest single. “One Thing” eases you in with a blissful, piano-driven introduction and airy vocals, which Rubble contributes himself. Just as he begins to lull the listener into a laid-back groove, Rubble introduces a heavy bass-line quickly layered with arpeggiated synths. Those keys briefly take over once again before the song fully erupts into a club-ready anthem. “One Thing” has a marked beauty to it that’s masterfully contrasted with the epic bass line.
Groove to this tune above–Barny Rubble might’ve just officially cemented his place as this ninja’s favorite up ‘n comer.
