Darren Brookes Release ‘Real World’, A Thought-Provoking Single Delving Into the Current State Of The World"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Released April 8, ‘Real World’ is the new single from prolific duo, Taboo Logik. The track, which features talented guest vocalist Darren Brookes, takes a deep look at the state of the world, and encourages the listener to view what they’re seeing with a whole new perspective.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Taboo Logik comprises Silvio Gigante\u00a0and\u00a0Pete Griffiths, two musical artists who have been writing and producing tracks for a number of years, covering a broad spectrum of genres, including pop, dance, and electronica. The duo have earned a great deal of experience over that time, working with record labels such as Klone, Cleveland City, and Universal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Real World’ is a dance track with a retro feel. Darren Brookes, who frequently provides vocals for Taboo Logik, has a rich, soulful voice, striking and sensual against the percolating rhythms of the instrumentals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lyrics have been written to challenge the listener to think outside the box, and are set at counterpoint to the upbeat and incessant rhythms of drums and percussion, with layers of synths overlapping and ebbing in time to the beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Speaking of their music, Taboo Logik said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

‘Melody and lyric play a very influential part in our writing. Using a dance sensibility we craft our projects from an emotive angle and deep exploration of house type grooves.’ <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

‘Real World’ is out now, and can be streamed and downloaded here<\/a>. You can find out more about Taboo Logik and their music online on Instagram<\/a>, and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
