Barcelona-based producer Rick Baster returns to the scene with "005," a deep-seated, high-energy statement named after the record's master track, a genre-defying lesson in trance-induced electronica with a visceral, emotional punch. Starting life as an impromptu nighttime jam and turning it into an exquisitely designed sound roller coaster. "005" is fueled by that gritty studio energy, but it is remarkably polished, which is more evidence of Baster's sharp ear and seasoned touch.
The track begins with a simmering promise before adding layers of synth and rhythmic tension, climaxing in a euphoric drop that's both liberating and pointed. Every beat throbs and creates distance, and every peak and valley forms a story as concerned with motion as mood. And there's something undeniably human at the track's core, where Rick Baster delivers his signature vocal hook in the swirling marsh. It woos you with a magnetic warmth long after the song concludes. That emotional strand is why "005" stands out from a swamp of electronic tracks. It's music to feel.
Since 2019, Rick Baster has carefully made a name for himself in electronic music through passion, experimentation, and an acute sense of creativity. With over 2 million streams, Visitante's selections echo beyond borders and outside the dancefloor. And "005" only adds to that rising legacy, along with his technical mastery and skill of combining cinematic drama with the club's demands. "005" pulses as if it had a heartbeat and limbs as if it were in a dream. He's over you, swarming you with light and sound. Whether you're in its headphone headlock or thrown down at its mercy beneath festival lights, Rick Baster's latest offers ample evidence of how far emotion and electronics can travel in tandem.
