Will Eastman, a master of reinvention and of indie dance music, returns with a reflective, intelligent deep house banger called "Froggie."
With mixed emotions after the discovery of his adoption as an adult, Eastman turned to music as an outlet to decompress his inner conflict; a moment he describes as being similar to witnessing the impossibility of frogs raining from the sky. What he suggests with "Froggie," the first release from his upcoming LP Hilo, is the maelstrom inside his soul is a swirling tide and interesting dichotomy of a former life combined with a hopeful future.
Having already made a name for himself in indie dance and techno, "Froggie" explores a much more contemplative, patient side. Extended segways with sawing synths and driving beats steer the track while Eastman balances with enough uplift to keep the headiness from overcoming the senses. This is a show of maturity and a declaration of new beginnings as the accomplished DJ and producer begins to dig deep for more personal truths.
Will Eastman: we're happy to see you, sir.
