Amal, repping one-third of D.C.’s Black Rave Culture, drops his latest track with Stuck in SP filled with loops, layers, and late-night energy.
Amal drops tracks like he’s playing hot potato, each one quick to catch fire. His discography is packed with features from DMV heavyweights and international artists, blending influences into a sonic melting pot seasoned with pure District flavor. In his latest venture, he teams up with Brazil’s Rxfx, folding the sound of Campo Grande into the American lexicon.
The track captures the essence of a night out. Its foundation is a punchy rhythm that can get even the most stagnant clubgoer bouncing. Layered on top are beats that ebb and swell like musical vertigo, creating a dizzying, immersive experience. You can almost picture Amal and Rxfx hunched over a shared pad in a nightclub, expertly tapping their samples at just the right moment.
Despite the track’s circular structure, it never feels overly repetitive. The duo skillfully uses a push-and-pull dynamic, drawing listeners in with quick, body-moving bursts before easing into a softer reflection, only to ramp back up again. The result is a sound that keeps you dancing all night long.
