Full of atmosphere and tension, London-based producer and well-travelled (Amnesia Ibiza and Further Future Festival, for example) performer Talal, has dropped a new single: ‘Marotta’. The hypnotic, repeating beats in the bass keep the listener hooked to see where the track will end up, while slow melodies and gradual introduction of instruments stop it from getting repetitive. A highlight comes around 4:02, where an almost military snare drum enters the mix. His mature compositional style is reflected in his long list of radio airplay and #6 charting on Beatport. -Dan Peeke
