Justin Luke - Diesel

Diesel is a nice deep track, that does the tango with a kick drum led bass and tap dances with tribal almost indie electronics. The drone that invades the song’s soft beginning is ominous, steadily being held in place. Before this beat peels away, a dramatic drum roll gives the final push of momentum to take the track over the edge. When it falls, however, instead of the expected over-dramatic bass and snare-filled drop or sky-high house explosions, we are met by a calm almost sedate affair.

Second time around we witness a different transaction. The building baseline snaps for the final time and goes straight into a grim, morose relapse, drawing on the moody poignancy of its surroundings.

Diesel smoothly aligns with the temperate state of mind induced by the winter months, as a hypnotically sinister sense of purpose seeps through the song. It brings images to mind of a smoky club drawing a weary breath as the late night DJ brings the night to a gruff and resolute end. This track fits that dark vibe.
