Rival Consoles - "Coda"

I love the description of Rival Consoles music describing the London based producer as “making synthesizers human”. That description really seems to work with “Coda” - a track filled with propulsive bass lines and intersecting percussive lines that never lose the human touch. Perhaps the most emotionally impacting part of Rival Consoles work is their deft use of melodic synth lines that feel like they are pulling from some deep well of pathos. According to the press release, “Coda started as a really late night experiment around a chord progression that seemed haunting but also had some strange beauty,” West says. “The whole piece is centered around this theme. I wanted to embrace the dark and quiet moments of the nighttime but also the energy of people who were maybe moving around London late at night with a nod to house music."
