“Tangent”
Track Review
Kotek’s newest track, “Tangent” is complex, energetic and calming all at once. The song is mixed when it comes to genre. Kotek crosses through hip-hop, electro, house and industrial for this track and it’s truly enchanting. The track starts off with a house vibe, the build-up is long but so worth it. Round, heavy kicks keep the energy of the track high and focused. Hypnotic vibes throughout this song are all too real, “Tangent” is a unique and stimulating track.
