Hailing from the UK, Otron’s “Doze On” is an even keeled mix of 80’s
modular synth pastiche & the chillest of the chill 90’s downtempo &
trap beats, with a healthy dose of treated soundbites, solid funk bass lines,
tonal ambient textures…and pretty much all the reverb one could ask for.
In a genre where artists try & fill every nook & cranny with
drum machine filler, this album stands out as tastefully restrained, making for
some pretty dependable study music; it’ll keep you calmly nodding your noggin
without ever demanding your full attention as the layers subtly shift in &
out of focus. Pretty pleasant stuff.
