Neo-Safari - Coastal Cruise 8.7/10

Neo-Safari is an indie electronic project by Dan Rogers from Dallas, Texas. This track is taken from an EP which is simply titled 'EP' which was self-released in 2012. The mood is light and buoyant on this excellent glitch-heavy track. The chopped beats and synths create a sensation of moving forwards at high speed, making this a great song to put on in the car. The patterns of glitches and bass keep evolving in unexpected ways as it unfolds, leading to the payoff at 3:25 when the track kicks into top gear. The few vocals are impossible to make out, but the bubbly, playful atmosphere Rogers creates will put you in a great mood in just four and a half minutes. I recommend playing this while commuting on the way to work or school, you'll definitely arrive feeling refreshed.
