One of the biggest names in one of the biggest genres of EDM has just dropped his first original track since his debut album came out over a year ago. It’s not just a song, it’s an entire creative experience that you can immerse yourself in. It comes with a video of a weather balloon rising into the atmosphere and above the Earth, before the weather balloon pops and drops back down to the ground. The song suits the video perfectly, with an incredibly atmospheric build up that makes you feel like you’re rising up into space, and drops that capture the awesome feeling that you’d have if you were up above the Earth, casually observing it.
This isn’t dance music – the beat isn’t consistent enough for that. Instead, RL Grime is opening your eyes to the potential for electronic music to make you feel like you’re rising to the top of the world, and Aurora captures that perfectly. There is no download available right now, but you can immerse yourself in this surreal experience below. You’ll probably end up re-watching it a bunch of times as it fills you with wonder and awe, so make sure to take in the full thing.
