Track of the Day: Several Definitions - Esmerelda
This week we have local talent Chris Hayden in the mix here at LAMP. It is safe to say, after listening to his mix this week and playing with him on the Thor art car at this years Burning Man, Chris is affluent at bringing those proper Desert vibes. I was going through his track-list and interview with MR PUZL, and recognized several artists and labels which he included in his mix for us that we have featured on the site before. One artist from the mix that stood out that we have yet to feature here is Several Definitions. A couple of months ago this Swiss producer released a fantastic EP "You Are Not Alone" for Stil Vor Talent that I have not been able to get enough of. The EP contains 3 originals along with remixes from Bjoern Stoerig and Hatzler. For his mix for us this week Hayden drops the original of 'Antala' which you can hear him bring into the mix around 36-37 minutes in.I started picking up stuff from Several Definitions around the beginning of last year with his Beginnings EP for Knee Deep in Sound. He has been making a huge name for himself with releases on Click, Suara, Go Deeva, and Definitive to name a few. This latest one for Stil Vor Talent has really hit the mark for me and especially our track of the day selection 'Esmerelda'. From the first note I am hooked by the arp synth. As it slowly builds and the percs sort of wash over it like waves crashing on the shore of a small lake. This synth becomes absolutely massive, modulating throughout while driving the track along as it saws its way through the thumping kick and stabbing snares that chop up the groove. Some ominous pads sweep through during a couple breaks in the groove that give the track more of a dark and gloomy feel but this track rains fire on the dance floor. I have been fortunate enough to have a few opportunities to drop this late night at a raging warehouse party and while at Burning Man. This track lights up the floor/playa like nothing else I am playing at the moment. There is loads of energy in this track and the arrangement is spot on.

Pretty stoked to have finally found an opportunity to talk about this extremely talented Swiss Producer. As I mentioned he has been producing for some incredible labels and he is really just getting started. Only 2 years really under the Several Definitions moniker and from the looks of it still pretty young so hopefully we can bring you some more stuff from him soon. For now have a look at some of his other releases and enjoy today's track of the day.Make sure to check out this weeks LAMP guest mix and Interview from Chris Hayden of DeepAura Music and let him take you on journey through the desert and under the stars. You will find music from today's Track of the Day artists and many others like it.
