Electronic music can go just about anywhere an artist wants it to. You can find elements of it in just about any genre of music, with it being a strong backbone to many genres itself. Existing in so many places, it’s amazing to find that it still holds so much diversity.
QUESTION. has used the magic of electronic music to make “The End Of The Line”, an eclectic effort that easily blends the thumping kick drum, thick basslines and the squealing synths among a plethora of sonic influences.
The result is an artful and warm track that can exists equally as club music and good music to just vibe to in the background. “The End Of The Line” is my first introduction to the music of QUESTION.
I realized this wasn’t going to be what I expected at all from the opening seconds of the track. The beat feels warm and unique from the jump, with the use of multiple elements to bring out a really interesting sonic palette and ever-changing drum pattern.
There is an element to this TrapHouse track that sounds bubbly and energetic, as the tune changes mood in mid-song, while the drums and crystalline synths permeate it. The beat completely changes up to a really driving momentum. It’s crazy for a single, because “The End Of The Line” plays in a way that feels like a DJ set wrapped up in under 5 minutes, as it morphs from one rhythmic and sonic shape to another.
“The End Of The Line” deceptively simple and punchy, while the underlying energy is infectious. The polyrhythms are dynamic, and yet QUESTION.’s style is so easy on the ears. Every groove is deep and flavorful.
It’s catchy and creative enough to warrant a ton of playbacks, and if you’re anything like me when you hear it, you’ll find yourself going back to it over and over again. It’s incredibly pliable, with crystal-clear production and smartly chosen elements adding layers of complexity in the background.
“The End Of The Line” is a testament to how QUESTION. can stretch his sound. This is the music of a beat-maker and sound designer settling into his most comfortable pocket. Reinforcing his brand through his craft, the warm, nestling and finely textured sonics of “The End Of The Line” make for a tantalizing listen, and will help in the quest to bring QUESTION.’s sound aesthetics to the frontier of his chosen art-form. Which is where he deserves to be.
