Pan Amsterdam has revealed his new single, ‘Day Out’. It’s a hedonistic blend of cool hip-hop beats, atmospheric ambient sounds and hazy, experimental electronics. The East Coast rapper’s flow is addictive, and his lyrics are memorably crafted and funny. His subtle trumpet playing adds a new layer to the track’s sound; a distant, almost nostalgic vibe that feels a little trippy when combined with the visuals lifted from Detroit Party Scene. “I decided to lead with a lyric that expressed my frustration and then dance my way out of the constriction, as George Clinton puts it,” he explains. “The assimilation tactics, the frustration of the mundane worldly redundancies, and the triumph of creativity and expression through frequency is what it seems like I was after, here.” Keep an eye out for Pan Amsterdam’s new album later in 2025. -Dan Peeke
