Seafloor is the experimental-dance music brainchild of Brooklyn-based musician, producer and graphic designer Matthew Young, heretofore better known for his role as keyboardist/vocalist in the synth-dance outfit Body Language and one half of Vacationer. For the Lure EP, his third official release as Seafloor, Young has sculpted four heavy-hitting tracks that take cues from the classic house model but re-contextualize them within the constantly mutating scene of club music. Pronounced melodies, textures and rhythmic elements are woven together seamlessly to create rich, vibrant songs that engage the listener as well as inspire kinetic movement. Setting off the four-track EP is “BustnLoo”, perhaps the most immediately engaging dance track on the record. Washes of synth pads and pulsating vocals give way to a four on the floor house rhythm as whimsical melodies, chord stabs and basslines bounce throughout. Rounding out Side A is the emotionally charged “Missing You,” a loose and jazzy composition with an infectious vocal hook. A series of soulful chord progressions drives the song, while the drums thump along in half time. Side B revisits warehouse vibes with deeper and darker overtones; perhaps the most club focused music Astro Nautico has releases to date. “Somadose” fertilizes tribal percussion with a hypnotic, acid-inflected bassline and measured static to birth a late night burner. Setting it apart from a typical techno track, the song continues to build with uplifting chords and vocals to a satisfying climax. Concluding Lure is “MRDJ”, another peak hour anthem featuring chords that swarm around you like a pack of raver hornets, possessed by chanting spirits of B-boy’s past. Unlike typical club-minded music that has a repetitive structure, you’ll have a hard time not playing out the entirety of these tracks, which constantly evolve into exciting new moments.
