I hope you came early enough to last night’s School’s Out rager behind The Mill to see Big Digits perform. Those two dudes have got too much energy to go to waste. If you were, what you probably didn’t notice was that Mac and TD were without their usual DJ, Mark-e-Moon. Instead, while the MC’s did their thing, up-and-coming producer Coralcola was on their beats.

Coralcola, on top of being an incredibly chill guy, has got a really interesting vibe going on. His tracks are dancy but chill - beat and bass heavy with obvious house influences, but relaxed enough to forge an experience that is meditative and, at times, bordering on transcendental (if you’re into this kind of stuff, at least). It’s modern and electro, but it’s organic feel lies in its simplicity, with a great deal of attention being given to the beauty of the loop, something that most artists these days flaunt, but with no right to do so. Coralcola, however, certainly has this right, for his loops are interestingly layered such that even with their repetition comes rediscovery and reinvention with each loop. These loops don’t disappear into the song, but rather are pushed to the forefront of the track. Really interesting stuff.

This one’s called “Heath Ledger”, and it is certainly a trip, and a perfect example of the Coralcola style: the heavy beat, the balance between dancy and chill, the extra attention given to the loop. I especially like the vocal sequencing. At times, subtle, but in-your-face at others. A great find.
