PYTI is an artist whose music is an example of what it’s like to produce modern music with a contemporary flow. His style combines influences like pop, hip-hop, EDM, and so much more. Anything goes, as long as there is energy and melody.
One of the most distinctive traits of his releases is certainly the energy, and the drive that fuels the performance of the artist. The vocals feel very animated and spontaneous, an obvious sign that this performer is actually genuinely connecting with his lyrical flow, in a much deeper way. This isn’t just another Soundcloud rapper popping out catchy hooks copy-pasted with the same old Splice sample: there is a deeper concept behind the songwriting, which really adds weight to the mix. With his song “Tell Me,” he actually shows that he can get past hip-hop and dive into other genres, such as pop and electronic music. Another highlight is the song “Night Wish,” which is a fantastic single that brings a deeper, soothing melody to the audience. The introduction has a really smooth vibe, and the song later dives deeper into the groove, with a massive electronic beat that matches the beautiful arpeggio synths.
These are only some examples, but the artist’s discography is filled with amazing jams that blur the lines between different styles.
In addition to the personable and edgy performance value, this release is also quite distinctive because of the sheer quality of the production. The mix is balanced and very detail-oriented, making for a lively, edgy and stark sonic approach. In other words, there are many subtle nuances in this release, which really add to the richness of the track when summed up together. The frequency spectrum of the mix is also very balanced, with a tight, yet deep low end working wonders along with a smooth top end, which adds a sense of clarity to the music.
The artist’s music actually stands out for its modern sound, but although the production is quite polished, it is never overproduced, allowing a lot of wonderfully organic and “human” elements to really add liveliness to the mix. The first thing you’ll notice is certainly the high quality of production in his songs, in terms of sonic aesthetics. The instrumental mixes are always balanced and direct, with a really deep low end and a crunchy mid-range that adds a lot of excitement to the track. In addition to that, the treble range is smooth and bright, adding a lot of silky edge to the mix, and allowing the vocals to really pop to the forefront of the mix.
Each instrument is purposefully arranged within the mix, meaning that he isn’t only trying to “fill in the empty spaces,” but rather use sounds and different tonal qualities to create a more enticing texture. The vocals work really well within the context of it all, not only creating some highly memorable hooks but also fitting the emotion and intention of the lyrics to perfection. His vocal performance falls somewhere in between the grit you might associate to artists with an old-school touch and the warmth of performers with a more modern flow.
Ultimately, this is highly recommended to fans of artists such as AVICII, Juice WRLD and Diplo, only to mention a few. This is the kind of track that will surprise you for it sonic variety, and it will keep you on the edge of your seat due to its catchy, yet unpredictable arrangement. We always love to hear from artists who set the bar higher and push the envelope when it comes to their productions: this certainly appears to be the case.
