Laflare puts the low end at the centre of Let The Bass Take Over, a club minded track that is built around movement, volume and the simple pleasure of letting the music take control.
The title says exactly what the record wants from you. Sometimes you do not need to think too much about the music. You hear that heavy low end, your body catches the rhythm and before long you are moving with it. “Let The Bass Take Over” is really about giving yourself over to that moment.
The production is clearly built for the bass to do the talking. The low frequencies carry much of the track’s character, while the beat keeps things moving underneath. There is a straightforward quality to it that works in its favour. Laflare does not need a complicated story here; the whole point is the physical side of the music, where the beat hits first and everything else follows.
One thing I like about the title is that it treats the bass almost like another voice. You are not simply listening to it in the background. It becomes the thing guiding the track. That makes the record easier to picture in a proper dance setting, especially with the volume turned up and enough space for the rhythm to breathe.
This is for those moments when you want the music to do the talking. It is simple in its idea, but there is nothing wrong with a song knowing exactly what it wants to do and getting on with it.
