Sander van Doorn, SELVA, & Macon Drop ‘Raindrops’ ft. Chacel
Sander van Doorn is back on the release radar with his first sonic offering of 2022. ‘Raindrops’ sees the revered musician joined alongside Brazilian act SELVA and German talent Macon, and features vocals from Chacel. The new tune directly follows Doorn’s Purple Haze releases from last year, ‘Manoeuvres’ and ‘Recover’. It also serves as a follow-up to several tracks from last October such as ‘Scary Monsters’, SELVA’s collaborative endeavor with Wankelmut and MATTN, ‘Tell Me’, Macon, SOLON, and Chacel’s track, and ‘Thinking Of You’, Chacel and LÖKII’s hit single. Out now via Spinnin’ Records, ‘Raindrops’ is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.
The track immediately kicks off with a pulsating bass, paired flawlessly alongside a rising tension that builds upon itself with each passing second. A catchy beat is quickly introduced into the space, providing a much-welcomed four-on-the-floor rhythm and flowing vocal cut. The pace begins to slow as atmospherically entrancing production elements are infused, placing a central focus on the emotionally-charged lyricism. A buildup ensues, and is unleashed in full force with a hefty slew of hard-hitting bass drops. Throughout the endeavor, one can clearly hear each artist’s unique sound, a harmonious blend of Sander van Doorn, SELVA, Macon, and Chacel’s distinct musical artistry.
