Night Drops – Indian Wells

I’m still not entirely sure who or what is behind this new genre that Indian Wells loves to refer to as but it’s beyond creative to layer such interesting sounds together within chilled out electronic textures. I love the crowd samples cheering, the harsh pop of the tennis ball hitting the racquet, and the clips of the announcers serving as narration.

Released through one of my favorite online labels, Bad Panda Records, the debut album Night Drops serves as an eclectic collection of ambient tracks. One with minimalist beats, real tennis match samples, and enough electronic tones to keep you listening all the way through. Plus a free download? It can’t get much better.

BONUS:  and then it does.

It must be one of the most epic tie-breaks ever played, anywhere.

This is why I love electronic music. The creativity is absolutely endless.

I adore everything about the mysterious Italian group, Indian Wells, and their latest track, “Wimbledon 1980,” that features a beat made from a tennis-volley sample. Under their own created genre “tennistronic,” I’m quite intrigued, especially with the broadcaster’s commentary, the haunting piano, oscillating tones, and the spacious nature of the entire track. Off of their debut album, Night Drops, grab the ultra limited pre-sale here.

Nice In The Headphones: Deuce – Indian Wells

Tried and tested, this “tennistronic” sounds oh so nice through my padded studio headphones. The bottomless synths in song, “Deuce,” instantly hit you hard. It’s minimal without the slightest bit of being overdone.

Indian Wells’ debut album, Night Drops, is due out next month with only 100 hand-signed (and numbered!) copies available. I’d stay tuned.
