New Music: RamonPang – Hold Me Under

Published On: August 18th, 2022|

Los Angeles based producer and digital artist RamonPang describes his sound as left-field trap. It’s a phrase that doesn’t quite capture the intricate and creative nature of tracks like Hold Me Under, however.

There’s an exciting and exhilarating duality at the heart of Hold Me Under. The vocals and bassline give the song a solid, soulful core, but intense rhythms and moments of aural magic spin off from that, keeping the listener engaged and full of anticipation. Hold Me Under successfully illustrates how electronic music can be art in its own right .

The video for Hold Me Under contains flashing images.

Says RamongPang about Hold Me Under, “This track evolved as I tested it out at small gigs every other week. I spent weeks engineering the sub-bass just right to hit against very thick walls. I was inspired by the way artists like Aphex Twin, Flume, Autechre, and Sam Gellaitry used off-kilter sounds and rhythms to immerse listeners to create that long pause that happens after the big build up. When I play this track live, audiences go near silent in anticipation before the big 808 comes in.”

You can catch up with RamonPang via his Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. You can listen to Hold Me Under and more music from RamonPang on Spotify, Soundcloud, and Apple Music.
