Premiere: Rofi James – Berlin Wall

“Berlin Wall” features the uncanny attitude of Rofi James in exploring a universe that has such a vivid, gorgeous quality to it, with a sound that is fully alive.

Rofi James goes for a soaring night anthem on “Berlin Wall”. With the right level of bombastic energy, they rush the entire thing forward in a way that feels truly majestic. Applying layer upon layer with pure vigor, the infectious rhythm leads the way. Lyrics have a thoughtful quality to them for every verse is sculpted with such care. The story of the song gets carefully brought together for every word matters while it reverberates off into the distance. Beats here work on a physical level too for they hit with a tremendous power to them.

They waste no time in getting started for when that groove begins it feels awe-inspiring. Volume is an absolute must because this is an all-consuming piece, the kind of thing that hits all the right emotional notes to it. A clever stylistic potpourri, they bring in electronic, pop, rock and more in an anthemic swing. Done with dignity the balance of all the many pieces feels quite wonderful, as if they are putting together an entire worldview. With an arrangement that has a fully-realized coherence to all of it there is a vivid spirit that has a grandeur to all of it. Quite consistently the work moves ever upwards until it becomes a living breathing culture, one that accurately depicts what it means to be a part of the nightlife.
