Nessย isn’t someoneย the average EDM fan will know. That doesn’t mean for a second his name should be overlooked at all. Currently located in the UK, theย 20 year old artistย is capable of producing hip-hop/trap inspired beats with some serious emotion; he was even able to turn “All Gold Everything”ย into a vibed-out banger. France’s Moose Recordsย noticed his knack for production, recruiting him for their newest compilation, Moosetape #9, with a track called “Items in Motion.”
The song starts off with atmospheric soundsย mixed with a number of percussion noises. Most of the sounds Ness uses are actually liveย instruments, showcasing his musical talent withย recordings of guitar, piano, and drums. These work together to create a chilling tuneย layered deep with emotion. Ness flawlessly deliversย a ‘future bass’ vibe through soothing chords supported by a warm vocal track. A slow kick and clap drive the beat forward, allowing Ness’s synths to take over the empty spaces with his emotional sounds.
As much of a gem as “Items in Motion” is, it is just one of many off the entire Moosetapeย compilation. In my opinion it’s the standout track from the comp, but listen for yourself. Check out a more in-depth review by another one of our writers, Peter Rubinstein, here.
