Classically trained composer Carsten Schnell is back with his latest single, โHeiss!โ out since this May 24. It gives you the best of early 90s electronic music merged with modernism.
โHeiss!โ envelops you in a warm, soft ambience that builds with shimmering, glitzy synth waves. Schnell masterfully combines these elements to pump them with sharp, liquid-like seamlessness. This effortlessness makes the song refreshingly contemporary and engaging. The ambient layers return throughout the song, each time with added depth and weight, exuding a smug, confident swagger that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
Through the pulsation, โHeiss!โ brings an edge with robotic vocal synthesizers and their catchy refrains that guide us through the music. These vocals add a futuristic twist to the track, while cut off from the music like a siren that calls us to an innovative escapade and demands us to move our way out of familiar consciousness.
The music video for โHeiss!โ amplifies the trackโs effortless dance groove with a neon-lit, vibrant visual experience. It features close-up shots of a girl infectiously dancing to the beat, her movements infectiously swaying to the music. Wide-angle shots of a dance club filled with people moving to the synth waves and vibrating along to the glitz showcase the communal euphoria that Schnellโs music can inspire. Meanwhile, the robotic animation mouthing the vocal lines brings a smugness to the frivolity.
Thinking of dancing away on the sandy beaches this summer? Get hot with Carsten Schnellโs โHeiss!โ
