RAEKO – Everybody Knows (Feat. Mating Ritual)

Posted on August 4, 2015 by Indietronica Staff

RAEKO – Everybody Knows

We are huge fans of Sir Sly, so when we heard that producer Jason Suwito has a project called RAEKO, we jumped straight onto Soundcloud to listen to his new single called ‘Everybody Knows’, featuring Mating Ritual.

Recorded in his studio ‘Noise Coalition’ in Orange County with Mating Ritual, the process of producing the track was relatively straightforward. That’s not to say it’s not a complex track; ‘Everybody Knows’ is full of delicately layered synths offering a deceivingly simplistic groovy sound.

Sounds like: Sir Sly, Collaj (FKA 8th Grader), Lane 8, Zimmer, Goldroom, Huntar
