Australian producer Arky Waters delves deep into acid-house territory with his latest single “Blessings,”. Building on the momentum of his previous track, “We Ain’t Like Dem,” Waters brings a fresh, rave-inspired energy to this new release. The track is driven by pulsating acid synths, delivering a hypnotic groove that captures the euphoria of a late-night club experience.
What makes “Blessings” stand out is the mantra-like vocal that weaves through the track, offering a spiritual undercurrent that complements the pounding rhythms. Waters has noted that the track was born from his first encounter with acid techno in a live setting, an experience that transformed his perception of the genre. The powerful bassline and razor-sharp 303-style synths make “Blessings” an absolute weapon, perfect for those peak-hour moments.
“This vocal really made the song for me. It’s almost like a mantra – and honestly raves can be quite a religious experience. I’m pretty sure I made this after hearing acid techno live for the first time and thinking damn this makes so much sense. Acid synths never really hit me when I listened to it at home, but on club speakers it just cuts through all the noise. That’s when I thought wow I really need an acid track in my set.” ~ Arky Waters
This track serves as a promising preview of what’s to come from Arky Waters’ upcoming EP. With its intoxicating blend of breaks, techno-house, and acid influences.
