Niven showcases softer side on bittersweet new track "Midnight SlowDance"

29 February 2016, 18:00 | Written by Laurence Day

London-based producer Niven is streaming new single "Midnight SlowDance" on Best Fit.

We've already heard "Alleviate", "Rapture (ft. Natalie)", and the title track, but "Midnight SlowDance" shines a spotlight on a new side to Niven.

There's a solemn streak in the song, which opens with melancholy synth pulses and distant-memory vocals. As it unfurls, Niven introduces ribcage-shaking beats and a heap of kinetic chirrups; although there's a bunch of bittersweet moments, you'll find hope and even euphoria in the noise.

The Manta Ray EP is out on 10 March via SPHERE Recordings.
