Downupright - We're Doomed We're Dancing: Sixty Apocalypses
There are times when a good, long, continuous mix of music is just what you need to get through the workday. What is less common is for that mix to cover almost the entire gamut of music genres. However, the new 60-minute mix, We're Doomed We're Dancing: Sixty Apocalypses, by American digital musician Downupright offers just that.
Spanning everything from spoken word to hip-hop, Nu-metal, pop, R&B, K-pop, punk, synth wave & even opera. We're Doomed We're Dancing: Sixty Apocalypses is a chaotic but enthralling cornucopia of musical exploration.
Reading that description you might be asking, how in the heck does any of that work or make sense? Well, it isn’t easy to explain. The one simple through-line in this continuous mix of music is the theme of the apocalypse.
Throughout 60 distinct tracks in 60 minutes, a variety of artists explore the theme of the apocalypse from a plethora of perspectives. As a concept, this mix is incredibly creative & experimental. In terms of execution, We're Doomed We're Dancing: Sixty Apocalypses can sometimes be jarring. Simply because of the quantity of music & the sometimes dramatic tonal or genre shifts that occur.
Despite these drawbacks, every listener is sure to find something to love & perhaps a new perspective on the end of existence as we know it.
