Karmaloft artist Tom Appl has been openly experimenting with sonic styles and textures. He works primarily in the realms of deep and tech-house, but incorporates elements from a more mainstream production world. Also releasing under the pseudonym Fruitroom, Tom has a series of well-regarded singles and remixes for the Karmaloft Music label and has been DJ’ing actively since the early ’90s. This penchant for sonic detail is evident in Tom’s latest single, the soaring and inspirational “Family”. Released on Karmaloft Music, “Family” explores multiple movements in its nine minute running time, beginning with a deep groove that steadily builds into layers of synthesized bliss. Bright arpeggiations and dramatic pads quote earlier electronic music precedents, masterfully placed into a swirling and euphoric modern production. The sparse rhythmic and percussion track rolls at a perfect pace, firmly backing the abundant melodies. Tom also supplies a Short Cut version that edits a few minutes from the original, offering a more direct but just as hypnotic ride.
