Project Zee, doesn’t deal in subtleties. Rather, every move he makes is a grand gesture, building towards a larger vision at stake. The latest piece of the UK-based producer’s story is arguably his most important offering yet: the single “Around The World Girl” ft. Kele La Roc & Neco. In the meantime, he’s become one of the most recognizable and respected names in the underground house scene — one who, unlike many of the genre’s more mainstream-exposed practitioners, actually does try to push the genre forward.
Not only does “Around The World Girl” serve as a defining document in Project Zee’s unexpectedly rich and varied career, but it stands as a totemic release of crossover, 21st-century dance music, the elephantine statement fans would’ve hoped some of Project Zee’s so-called peers would have been capable of.
“Around The World Girl” ft. Kele La Roc & Neco shows off shimmering structures of dance-floor design – banging drums, rumbling basslines, angular synths and feel-good vocals. Stacking bar after stunningly melodic bar with a steady flow in tempo and intensity, it feels like an effort to define a musical moment in time — and unlike any mainstream release from Project Zee’s chart-conquering peers, it really does.
It helps that Project Zee has the goddamn synthesizers, bassline and the beat, all locked into a detonating rhythm. The drums punch you in the chest and the synths shower over you like exploding glitter, while the bass scorches your feet from underneath. The voices of Kele La Roc & Neco speak and sing – they swell, they excite and provide the needed variation to the arrangement.
