LEGENDARY

A few weeks ago the New York/Berlin based house producer Honey Dijon released her debut LP, The Best of Both Worlds, and it’s an immensely colorful dance record brimming with strong production and plenty of variety. The album’s most impressive cut “808 State of Mind” is a colossal house banger that doesn’t waste a second of its seven minute runtime. Glowing synths, infectious sub-bass, and steady hi-hats provide the framework here, on top of which vocal loops echoing “Give it to me/Just bounce for me" are periodically woven throughout the mix. The percussion is where “808 State of Mind” really shines, and despite briefly consisting purely of handclaps, there’s plenty of rhythmic variation and it’s always impeccably layered. There are passages of pure ambient sprinkled throughout, and yet somehow the track never loses its momentum. It’s a marvel that the pacing is strong enough to warrant the runtime with so little truly changing, but Honey Dijon manages to tweak the mix and keep the arrangements compelling enough throughout to sustain it as well as make the song feel half as long as it actually is. It’s one of the most impressive dance tracks that I’ve heard all year, and it alone posits Honey Dijon as an immensely promising producer worth keeping an eye on.
