Sydney glitch producer William. has just shared ‘The Rat King’, a heavy, withering new track for those wanting a change in listening their listening habits.

First thing to do is to go into a little bit of the history about the Sydney artist and what has made him hit hard time and time again. What you will first notice with his songs is his meticulous use of textures that have been a theme since his remix of Flume’s Wall Fuck two years ago now, that are used in such a way that you have likely never heard of before, and still incredibly current to the scene. His very strong melodic sense as to how to hold your interest through diverse rhythm in his tracks he has been doing consistently releasing over the last few months. Then in what is probably his most forward thinking attribute to electronic music, William. uses is his very bold technique of pitch bending the end of melodic progressions in songs like recent song Telekinesis that puts you in awe of what you are listening to, and did just that very thing to What So Not recently, as seen in this video.

Getting into the track, it has a potency to it that is laced with excitement with every element chosen in the song. Playing with a bouncing sample that is timed with an unassuming kick and bass pattern, the track increasingly introduces menacing melodic rhythm to grittier and grittier bass sounds that you have no option but focus on. Paying close attention you notice the finer elements of how he masterfully increases the blending of the original sample with melody, by chopping and changing melodies and samples alike with finesse into the crescendo of the last chorus.

I wouldn’t hold your breath to wait on this artist before he gets big, so get around the track and be very watchful for when the next gig is out so you can hear this large track live.
