Hudson Mohawke – Brainwave (Zach Witness Revive)

Often you come across a song that puts you on the fence. There’s something off about it, something different, something weird and jarring but that’s exactly what keeps you coming back. And while you’re vacillating back and forth, trying to decide black-and-white whether you like this song or not . . . your headphones fall silent and you realize that you’ve just finished your 6th replay. Face it: you love it. That’s exactly how I felt with Zach Witness’ interpretation of Brainwave that surfaced last week (inspired from Hudson Mohawke’s original concept piece). It has a lot of quirky charm, embellishing glitches and samples, and one of the most suspenseful builds I’ve heard in a while — tension snapped with the most rewarding and monumental release. So, if you feel like you need a little taste of something entirely different, give Brainwave a spin.
