Hectic tribal percussion, distant vocal yelps, and an ominously frantic piano progression kick off the richly atmospheric “Falling”, the new single from Toronto-based electronic artist Totemic. A rising figure in the Toronto performance DJing scene, Totemic infuses vivid live performances that utilize live violin in conjunction with his fast-paced melodic productions. He has appeared at several electronic festivals in Canada, including Harvest, All Stars, OM and Solstice. Described as “futuristic tribal rhythms merged with the ancient spirit of Dead Can Dance or Azam Ali”, “Falling” is a futuristic-sounding, highly rhythmically involved journey that showcases this act’s hypnotic allure and vivid atmospheric grasp.
