Hailing from Baltimore, Greg Jung, the mastermind behind Dawn Chorus, has appeared as a noteworthy alternative electronic producer. With his music, he weaves together elements from various electronic genres such as garage, breakbeat, techno and ambient downtempo to deliver a fusion of groove-focused danceable beats, emotive chord progressions and vibrant synths.
Unveiling the project earlier this month with the debut single “Changes,” he offered the first taste of his original electronic sound. Now he brings us his brand new debut EP titled Parallel Realities, a six-track release that expands his sonic vision as an electronic music producer.
Having been developing his skills as a producer for some time, he’s now ready to bring the project to life with the aim of connecting with listeners and providing them with a sonic escape. With a sound that’s equally at home on the dance floor as it is for casual listening, on Parallel Realities he crafts a superb run through of his original sound.
Opened by his debut single “Changes,” shuffling beats set a laid back groove as warm key tones and bass notes stitch a hypnotic fabric that pulls you in. As the lead synth timbre modulates, the track gradually builds before shifting with the buzzy flutter of electronic instrumentation as the ever-present drive of the beat carries the mellow energy.
“Coastal View” follows with soft synth tones as the rattle of percussive elements adds a subtle rhythmic flow. As they drop out, the tension rises before the drop ushers in a frantic beat with pulsing textures and wubbing synths before developing with stabbing chord shots, stretched melodic lines and vocal samples drenched in delay, resulting in a dynamic electronic music journey.
Next up, “June Radio” kicks off with bright female vocal samples floating among playful staccato synth notes and the tap of drums. Switching up to a lively dance-focused jam, punchy beats and crisp synths collide to form an energising and upbeat sound wrapped up in slick production.
With “Sunbeams,” he reveals his knack for crafting glitchy soundscapes and ambient atmosphere. While “Testing Station” sees the producer serve up a minimal arrangement propelled by the driving thump of an uptempo beat.
The EP closes with title-track “Parallel Realities,” starting off with gently droning lo-fi tones before the thud of the beat injects the downtempo rhythm. Deep bass rumbles and spacey vocal samples add colour to the arrangement which takes you on a mesmeric journey that rises in energy throughout. It’s a stellar conclusion to a truly worthy debut EP from an exciting new producer who’s sure to win over electronic music fans with his unique style and sound design.
