A track like this is very typical of what Barac plays. His sets are made up of finely spun layers, mostly of varying shades of darkness, unified by bass, groove and miscellaneous flourishes; be they vocal samples, off-key harmonics or spaced-put synth lines. All vie for clarity amid the twilight zone, which is constantly distorted through fine filtration and distillation until a concision is achieved. His DJing has been described as “shamanic”, and it’s not hard to see why. On the one hand specific compositions can be recognised, on the other they’re all part of one large composite score designed to raise subconsciousness levels on the dance floor. It’s my suspicion that Barac, like Jay Tripwire, makes music for people on drugs. What is indisputable is that this is music that puts the dancer in a zone from which it is difficult to break out of. This version improves on the original, which has the building blocks in place, but is flat by comparison, lacking swing.
