Synth Single Review: “Sally's Roller Disco” by Flash Cassette

by Karl Magi

Flash Cassette’s “Sally's Roller Disco” grooves into existence with actively bouncing bass and hollow, intriguing percussion as an echoing note pattern floats with cosmic smoothness, unfurling above the funky underpinnings with irresistible happiness while chimes sparkle with electric luminescence.

I’m charged with excitement and freedom as the music unfolds. As the bass boogies down and the foundation throbs rhythmically, disco ball light spills across the music, evoking roller skaters spinning around the rink, getting down to the dirty low end and the trippy, gliding notes above that joy in a glimmering secondary line, shining with pearly radiance.

The synth lead has a cool, vibey feeling that brings images of late night roller skating to life, everyone moving with ease and speed across the hardwood floor. As the track slows to a sensually twisting groove, the notes float with a mysterious feeling before the track slides into silence.
