The incantation-like vocals on Vraja beckon an otherworldly feeling that you won’t want to fully understand and just let it wash over you while enjoying being part of a ritualesque setting that will end in a sense of unbinding.
Delia Teșileanu of Soho Radio
Vraja is a deep one drop tune with a heavy bassline. The vocals are haunting and fit perfectly over the dubbed out groove. On the stripped down dub version we get an almost ambient vibe from the soundscape spiced up with various percussion instruments filtered through reverbs and echoes. The Club remixes keep the mystical vibe even though the drum pattern is more in the steppers style.
