With “Plastic”, the A2 track from the collaborative “Inner Child EP“, Light Blue File and Occibel deliver a playful yet precision-engineered dancefloor bomb that embodies the spirit behind the record itself: creativity born from spontaneity. Released on Playfool – Occibel’s own imprint and an extension of his vision of collaborative exploration – the track stands as a reflection of the energy that emerges when ideas are exchanged freely and enthusiastically. A few beers, some laughs, and suddenly a shared frequency becomes real.
Stylistically, “Plastic” hits that sweet spot between House groove and Electro bite. The pushy, punchy bassline – a signature flavor of the artists’ productions – drives the track forward with confident momentum, designed to lock dancers into motion. Layered above it, a slightly cracking synth-line cuts through the mix, offering just enough melodic tension to keep things dynamic and evolving. It nods to classic eEectro aesthetics without falling into nostalgia; instead, it feels fresh, precise, and irresistibly physical.
The addition of vocoder-styled computer vocals completes the formula, injecting personality and playfulness while honoring both artists’ shared love for robotic vocal textures. It’s a detail that elevates the track from functional weapon to identity-rich standout.
Smooth yet edgy, minimal in structure yet full of character, “Plastic” is built to shake dancefloors with style. Expect it to ripple across rooms all summer long – because once that bassline hits, resisting it is simply not an option.
