Synth Single Review: “Repulsion” by Wellside & Prophylaxis

by Karl Magi

Wellside & Prophylaxis’ “Repulsion” glows faintly as a steadying rhythm supports a fluting melody which radiates pure peace, notes around it exuding a burnished brightness as they exhale and tiny sonic pinpoints gleam delicately before full-sounding notes dance in a melody combining positive energy and nostalgic memory.

A breathy synth transmits feelings of warmth and happiness, shimmering and full of intricate tones, as the gentling rhythm fades. extended notes slide with a faint static tremble while the echoing background is full of a synth that carries rushing softness. Complexity joins calm to embellish the track in a swelling field of peace.

As the flickering tones call up cosmically gliding imagery, a strong beat forms a shaping influence. My mind is filled with encouragement and relaxation as the melody pours out luminosity and the track comes to an end on deep bass vibrating into silence.
