Hailing from Cologne, Germany, Kmalectro is a multi-instrumentalist with a passion for creating mesmeric compositions. Armed with skills in piano, guitar and Tabla percussion, Kmalectro is a one-man show, producing and editing every element of his musical output himself.
His musical voyage began four decades ago, in the company of a dear friend who shared his passion. However, the path took an unexpected turn with the loss of this companion, leaving a void that seemed insurmountable. Faced with the challenge of going solo, Kmalectro initially doubted his ability to continue.
Despite years spent in various professions, a comeback to music seemed improbable. Today, as an Osteopath, Physical Therapist and Trauma Psychologist, he dedicates his days to supporting his musical dream, an endeavour which has blossomed over the last couple of years.
He takes influence from everything from electro, to jazz and even Classical Indian music. Since dropping his debut single “Point of Ease,” he’s dropped a string of well-received tracks, racked up hundreds of thousands of streams and views and even been featured on a German TV show which featured one of his songs.
Now he brings us his latest release with the new single titled “digital Highway,” a slick electro cut packed full of grooving rhythm, bouncy bass lines and colourful synth tones. Opened by the bubble of a stuttered synth line, the sound of a kick drum injects immediate energy as the beat builds up with snare shots and claps.
Shimmering synth textures and pulsing bass notes fill out the mix, resulting in an upbeat and dance-focused sound. Smooth melodic flourishes appear, ushered in by a processed vocal sample, setting up an infectious electronic ride into an immersive world. Paired with the track is a music video that puts the music in a thrilling sci-fi context, crafting an engaging cinematic visual accompaniment to the song.
