Gimgigam featuring Takara Araki “Dunia Kuu”

“Dunia Kuu” seems to introduce new musical ideas and textures every 20 seconds or so but never feels busy, cluttered, or disjointed. It’s more just a steady lateral progression through different sensations, all held together by a steadily bouncing groove, quasi-tropical instrumental motifs, and wordless vocals that are just shy of Donna Summer-ish moans of pleasure. The contrast of negative space and busy percussion through this track feels very humid to me, but not necessarily in the oppressive sense – it mostly just sounds like the way the air feels just after a flash rainstorm in the summer.
