#FourToTheFloorFriday – Spencer Rabin “Feeling Good”

Today’s song selection is a real treat. Local sixteen year old Spencer Hill is a self-described “compos​er/pro​ducer/​guitar​ist” from Chicago. He reached out to us last week about us possibly helping him promote his music, so we took a listen.

WhySoChi.com is an EDM oriented website so we won’t post any of his guitar/piano driven tracks which are also good. Instead we’d like to introduce him to our audience with his electronic track titled “Feeling Good”. The track starts off with calm piano intro that builds up with addition of some snares and drums. It eventually grows into a powerful yet calm bass infused rhythm section making the song feel like a summer anthem. It comes back to the piano as needed to switch of tempo.

It sounds like Spencer is leaning more towards the Trance side of the EDM spectrum, but who  am I to contain him with one genre qualification.
