A lot of electronic music is made to dance to. Whether you love Karl Kox, Underworld, Black Madonna or even Skrillex, they make music that’s loud and is truly meant for large venues where people dance in the dark. That’s the opposite of what Will Weisenfeld, aka Geotic, is trying to achieve with his upcoming EP Abysma.

“So much of dance music is about partying and going out and having a really hardcore social experience,” Wiesenfeld says. “Dance music has never been that for me. So much of my experience listening to music is being by myself – at home or in my car.”
I can totally relate to this. It’s a sound that feels comfortable for your every day. The first single off the album is titled “Actually Smiling” and it’s filled with poppy synths and angelic harmonies swirling together to make a highbrow video game soundtrack.
“I see it as being a comfortable middle ground between that crazy hyper-emotive EDM and the hyper minimal deep dark club stuff,” Wiesenfeld says. “I like both of those things in different amounts, but I like the middle ground most. It’s not showy, it’s just a comfortable emotional zone.”
I also wanted to point out the extremely rad cover art by kyttenjanae. She makes the craziest 3D renders in a candy store of colors, abstracting the human shape in the most fascinating ways. Her work is phenomenal.
Abysma comes out May 31 on Ghostly International.
