“In Love” by dopeman begins with a piano line and the crackle of of a record like the memory of a good time in your life being triggered by running across an artifact of a relationship as mnemonic key to unlock a flood of positive feelings. The shuffling beat gently buoys the mood and the vocal samples, like voices from an old movie leaking in from another room, anchor and contextualize the memory in the part of your mind that stores sensory perception on an almost subconscious level. Though the tone is moody and hushed it is not melancholic, rather, wistful and nostalgic. Musically it’s in the realm of IDM or a more experimental hip-hop beat but ultimately doesn’t fit neatly into a genre category as its appeal transcends that of a specific style.
