“Dirty Lie” by Slick Walk Uses Late Night Ambient Sound Elements to Sooth Your Brain

“Dirty Lie” by German hip-hop duo Slick Walk sounds like something you’d hear late night from across the room of a train station. Its beat sounds like it’s echoing in a large space but instead of that blurring out the details it makes them seem more intimate in a way. Like you’re hearing multiple sound sources synergizing: bell tones of the station, snippets of conversation that take on a more musical than verbal quality, the steady, mechanical beats that emerge out of the trains arrive and leaving and doors opening and shutting, all the ambient noises, coming together to create hypnotic and comforting rhythm. That the track isn’t musically in your face enhances the listening experience and allows for what might be disparate elements to work well together like something you might expect from an ambient or IDM project.
