Synth Single Review: “Ride Again (Rogue FX Remix)” by Liquid 1nc

by Karl Magi

Liquid 1nc’s “Ride Again (Rogue FX Remix)” deepens the funky flow of the original. The track kicks off as a hollow synth and clapping percussion are joined by an accelerating beat, funky strings intertwining while Rogue FX’s chanted vocals add an ultra-cool feeling. The groove is undeniably strong as a keyboard brings a minor-key shimmy and the rhythm punches smoothly, disco strings singing with joyful energy.

Angular notes slice through with clean radiance, carrying the wriggling, shimmying melody while smoothly flowing vocals capture the music’s emotional tenor. I enjoy the steadily gliding underpinnings as Rogue FX’s vocals flow like melted chocolate and the strings frolic with brilliant luminosity. A hollow, metallic synth bops past with chilled-out, positive energy. The underlayer thuds with an undeniably muscled groove before the song ends on Rogue FX’s distinctive, fresh voice.
