The EDM scene has grown exponentially over the last 10-15 years and with its popularity brought thousands of up and coming “artists” in search of the ultimate goal: becoming a world-class Dj/producer – making a living making people dance.  Many have failed, and some have become icons for the wrong reasons. This does not fall into either category.

On Friday September 5, Ultra Records is set to release the first single of Kid Arkade -“Atlas Run”. The track starts with a lengthy mellow intro and slow build up. You’ll notice that the production from the first note is very clean and it stays that way throughout the entire track. When the tempo changes so does the mood, giving you a feeling that Kid Arkade is about to drop something great. It is like the calm before the storm.

Once the main melody kicks, you are enchanted by the beauty and simplicity of this progressive track.  “Atlas Run” is a great example of the theory that sometimes less is more. With Dubstep and Trap (which I enjoy) saturating the scene, it’s refreshing to see a producer that takes the time to perfect a song which can tell a story rather than following a very typical formula.

Even though the track seems lengthy at first, you’ll learn to appreciate it and all of its parts after a few replays. But be warned… the song is high in energy and will definitely be blasted through speakers for a while. This will not be the last time you will be hearing “Atlas Run”.
