Our Take

In his latest album "The Painter," William Orbit takes us on a psychedelic journey through a whimsical world of sound. From the twinkling synths to the funky bass lines, Orbit's production is as vibrant and colourful as a Jackson Pollock painting.

Tracks like "Sunflower Sky" and "Electric Dreams" transport you to a futuristic disco where robots groove alongside humans, while "Moonbeam" and "Starry Night" evoke the feeling of floating through space with nothing but the beat of the music to guide you.

Orbit's use of distortion and reverb adds an otherworldly dimension to each track, making you feel like you're listening to the music through a kaleidoscope. His clever use of samples and loops keeps you on your toes, wondering what sonic surprise he'll throw at you next.

"The Painter" is a true masterpiece of modern electronic music, blending elements of house, disco, and ambient into a sonic tapestry that is as intricate as it is infectious. Orbit is a true wizard of sound, painting with synthesizers and drum machines instead of brushes and pigment.

So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let William Orbit take you on a wild ride through his technicolor sonic universe. You won't be disappointed.
