“Amsterdam-based Retromigration has made the notion of making waves feel like a standard whenever a new record of his floats into view, such is the reverence and respect for his sound and craft. Inspired by a myriad of genres, such as soul, funk, jazz, and hip-hop, his auditory identity is one of profound melodic effusion and expert percussive sequences, which are absorbed within life-affirming atmospheres and sensory spaces. Flickering within the wide spectrum of deep house, Retromigration’s music dabbles with the curious in-between spaces, with an acute eye and ear channeling into the threads between genres that enable light bulb moments - and ever lasting musical experiences.
In a career built on continual self-evolution and musical morphology, ‘Can’t Go’ feels like yet another landmark in Retromigration’s revered career. The EP tunes itself into the pulsating energies of the club, drawing exquisite lines between bass music, footwork, garage and jungle.
The title track is seeped in rhythmic power, with heavy set kicks and high end hats providing the framework for echoing bass notes and sparse chords, which leads up to the euphoric vocal sample to take lead - ‘everywhere I turn’ rings true, as the heads get down and the feet work in unison.”
