Irish producer Kormac has just released a captivating new single, "Down Below," featuring the vocals of Katie Kim. This song comes out on Kormac's newly launched label, "Always The Sound."
Fans of Kormac's past work, known for its big sound and various collaborations, will find "Down Below" to be a bold departure. This song adopts a more experimental vibe, shifting away from polished production to adopt a grittier and dynamic style. Recorded in Kormac's Dublin studio, it features a blend of electronic sounds that are both vibrant and intense. The track captures a unique atmosphere that feels like a blend of an eerie gathering and a gentle lullaby. At its heart is Katie Kim's stunning voice, which offers a ghostly presence. Known for her work with the folk group ØXN, her singing in "Down Below" oscillates between dreamlike, drawing listeners in without demanding attention.
Kormac surrounds her voice with a rich mix of unconventional beats and layered electronic sounds, creating an immersive musical experience that feels both intimate and powerful. It's a type of music that resonates deep within you, rather than just filling your ears. This new release hints at more exciting work to come from Kormac, who has evolved from a hip-hop DJ and beat-maker into one of Ireland's most adventurous musical talents. With a combination of jazz influences and emotional depth, "Down Below" feels thoughtfully crafted and just a bit unpredictable.
