An ode to a fallen best friend, the late other half of the once-duo group, SkyDisc channels emotion and pain into a fiery new single, “Coming Down.” Featuring acclaimed Dutch vocalist RIENK, “Coming Down” pays tribute to the late Colby Riggs in true SkyDisc fashion. Set to land on the upcoming RIOT Records Uprising: Vol 10 compilation, this high-energy release fuses emotional vocals with cinematic, bass-driven production.
Opening with a delicate arrangement of piano chords coupled with RIENK’s powerful vocal abilities, SkyDisc’s loss and grief come pouring through the opening section of the track. Embodying the youthful spirit of his late friend, it’s not until the first minute mark or so that his signature DnB roots shine through. The first drop is so sick, delivering a bouncy, groove-filled beat with big, raspy, commanding synths. This portion is sure to send the crowd into a frenzy.
“I Need You When I’m Coming Down“
After a big, reverby, grinding halt, a haunting interlude occurs in the middle of the track. RIENK’s ghostly vocals fade in and out. Back into the second drop, this second half is a bit different than the first. Using that same commanding synth arrangement, it has almost a heart-thumping club beat at first. Diving back into that grove-filled drum and bass back beat, the euphoric synths really help drive this one home.
I also love the textures of the animatronic noises that sound like they’re grinding to a halt, which are peppered in the background. The deliberate texturing always adds just a little bit more grit to the track if you ask me. As the song nears its end, RIENK’s shadowy vocals, coupled with SkyDisc’s celestial piano chords, carefully glide this emotional roller coaster to an elegant stop as the final notes ring out.
