M.E.G. & N.E.R.A.K. – Renaissance [Doorn Records]

After bursting onto the scene in 2015, 2016 looks to be more of the same for Russian duo, M.E.G. & N.E.R.A.K. Their hit single of last year was “Concorde,” and they migrated over to Doorn Records to open the new year with “Renaissance”. This track is short and sweet; only three minutes and 42 seconds. That means that “Renaissance” is focused, and the Russians get to the point very quickly. The drops hit hard, with an energetic and grinding top synth. Of course, there is plenty of punch packed into the bassline, which is most accurately described as groovy. The breakdown has a really creative talk-synth that creates a primary melody, before shifting gears into a pure pluck synth. That change in synth also brings about a change in chord progression. The second drop is more groove, capping the perfect single for M.E.G. & N.E.R.A.K. to kickstart their year.
