In a time where music often follows predictable paths, “Depthsword Feat. Feline” by Orthentix strikes a refreshing chord. This self-produced Drum and Bass track, featuring Feline, an emcee from Launceston, Tasmania, blends a jungle vibe with spiritual undertones that merge effortlessly with the gritty streets.
The track’s atmosphere is both energetic and ethereal, reflecting a deep connection to nature and community. Filmed at the Lismore Lantern Parade, the accompanying music video mirrors this vibe with striking visuals of the town’s graffiti art and heritage buildings. The video not only enhances the track’s jungle-like aura but also highlights the resilience of a community recovering from disaster.
Musically, “Depthsword” stands out for its rapid-fire beats and powerful lyrical content. Feline’s verses, like “There’s a sacred fire in my sacrum. Bass chakra rise up to be taken,” channel a raw, spiritual energy that pulses through the track. The lyrics are a journey through the chakras, blending ancient wisdom with street-smart confidence. Lines such as “Ajna speaks truth to your spine. Follow her shivers to your third eye” reveal a deep sense of introspection and self-discovery, making the song a spiritual exploration as much as a dance track.
The production of the song is equally impressive. Orthentix crafts a soundscape that balances heavy bass with intricate layers of percussion, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience. The jungle vibe is ever-present, but there’s also a sense of modernity in the way the track is put together, making it feel fresh and relevant.
The track’s combination of thought-provoking lyrics and high-energy beats makes it both reflective and exciting. Orthentix and Feline manage to create a piece that is not only musically rich but also deeply meaningful. The song’s DIY origins only add to its charm, proving that passion and creativity can produce remarkable results.
