THROTTLE, “Dreamer”
It might take a few listens to draw you in, but the easy-going and positive vibes of “Dreamer” by Australian producer Throttle (aka Robbie Bergin) are completely infectious. After getting to spend a bit of time chatting with Throttle after seeing his show in Toronto in June, I was waiting for this one… so in his first release for Monstercat, he takes a slightly different direction from past songs (including collaborations with Oliver Heldens and Galantis). Throttle concocts an atypical warm and fuzzy ‘dirty disco’ synth sound and then drops a steady beat behind it for you to groove away. With a brief, uncredited vocal to set the tone, you can bet when “Dreamer” is played at festivals that big crowds will simply cheer. Dance songs don’t always need to be bangers and “Dreamer” is a prime example of one that works out strategically when a bit less can mean a lot more.
