Luttrell - Into Clouds
Enter the moustache-twirling hipsters, craft beer in hand, nodding thoughtfully as if the kick drum is reciting poetry. They’re here to 'experience the soundscape,' wearing beanies indoors and complaining that the bass is a bit too mainstream. But the Luttrell Into Clouds tracklist is exactly the kind of melodic brilliance that shuts them up. The vibe for this Into Clouds session is proper dreamlike, an ethereal journey wrapped in analog warmth.
On the technical front, this Luttrell live set is a masterclass in slow-burn pacing, averaging a chill 120.7 BPM. Anchored in 7A and 12A keys, the Rominimal energy arc is deeply emotive, relying on sweeping, filter-heavy transitions that melt the tracks together. The crate digger selections are pure gold for the deep heads. He drops the legendary Basic Channel - Phylyps Trak II/II to earn serious respect, and creates absolute scenes with the stunning Tomas Barfod - Things That Matter remix.
The journey is a beautifully cohesive album mix. Floating out the gates with the opening track Luttrell - After All, the emotion peaks perfectly with the title track Luttrell - Into Clouds (Extended Mix). Fading out beautifully, the closing track Luttrell - Outro leaves the chin-strokers completely sorted.
