Australian singer-songwriter and producer Sycco collaborates with Flume and Chrome Sparks. The resulting single, “Ripple,” was almost as hooky.
Maximalist at its heart, “Ripple” is a strange electronica concoction that spins elements of hyperpop and drum and bass. Some of its synths sound straight out of a magic wand.
The pillowy chords and pitches make you want to close your eyes and float away, but when its mesmerizing drum sounds kick in, you’ll find yourself on solid ground. Shining through this sonic interplay of hard and soft, Sycco’s cosmic vocals are front and center—a memorable element that caught Flume’s attention when he was in the studio creating the beat.
“I am Did a session in LA with Sarah Aarons, based on an idea I was working on with Jeremy [Chrome Sparks]—Sarah suggested to let a friend in, which happened to be Sash [Sycco] who I didn’t know at the time,” Flume said of the process in a press release. “The song came together really well, then Sash re-tracked some of the vocals in his studio in Brisbane and I spent some time to tweak it back to my Location in the Northern Rivers of Australia.

“It’s a beautiful environment of synths and drums that evokes a wonderful sense of ease but is uncomfortable at points,” added Sycco. “Everything about this song is addictive so it’s easy to create a world around these lyrics.”
