DYRISK featuring NIK ERNST, “Smile”
2018 looks to be a year where boundaries of electronic dance and EDM are being pushed out of their comfort zones. Norway’s Dyrisk is back with something new, and you won’t expect the alt.rock flavour of “Smile”, which he concocted with British producer Nik Ernst. All of a sudden it’s a big rush back to the early 90’s when Massive Attack and Radiohead were breaking out while Nirvana and Soundgarden dominated the rock market and dance music was more about Madonna, Michael, Whitney, and maybe C+C Music Factory too. Full of sarcastic lyrics calling out posers, “Smile” moves deliberately through its lilting rhythm and subtle electronics while incorporating crisp percussion sounds and zithery synths. “Smile” is such an uncharacteristic shift for Dyrisk, and it works so well, that it can make you do nothing but smile.
