Oklahoma might not be the first place you’d look for a boundary-pushing electronic act, but TOUCH GROOV is rewriting that map one bassline at a time. The four-piece collective arrives with ‘FEELIN GOOD’, the first single off their debut EP Doorway to Dystopia Vol. 1, a record that sits comfortably at the crossroads of lo-fi funk, alt-electronica, and smoky neo-soul, and we premiere it today at Music Crowns.
From the jump, ‘FEELIN GOOD’ lives in that sweet spot between chillout lounge and late-night warehouse. The groove hits like warm static, tight, hypnotic percussion pulsing under analog synth textures and airy female vocals that drip with effortless cool. It’s not about massive drops or club theatrics; this is mood music, designed for dim lights, half-empty glasses, and the slow sway of bodies lost in rhythm.
Production-wise, TOUCH GROOV flex their musicianship with a refined touch. There’s a real jazz undercurrent here, think Rhodes keys bending through tape delay, with basslines that hum just above the floor. It’s equal parts Daft Punk nostalgia and Deadmau5 precision, wrapped in the warm fuzz of a lo-fi cassette aesthetic. Every sound feels tactile, from the soft crackle under the snare to the vaporous pads that stretch across the mix like neon haze.
With Doorway to Dystopia Vol. 1, TOUCH GROOV make their opening move with style and confidence. It’s music built for the intersection of body and circuitry, where human pulse meets machine precision, and every beat feels like a spark from a dream you half-remember. ‘FEELIN GOOD’ is a manifesto for a new kind of electronic soul.
