BackGround

"I am the Background. Adorning the world, without ever obstructing your view."

Hir is an artist who transforms the "invisible presence" of daily life into a vivid sonic experience. Contrary to its tranquil title, his track "Background" is a high-energy anthem featuring frantic jungle beats and a pulsating bassline that demands to be felt.

Blending the refreshing melodic sensibilities of 90s J-POP with razor-sharp drum programming, Hir takes the state of being "unnoticed" and turns it into an aggressive form of self-affirmation. It is a stealthy counter-response to a modern society obsessed with self-promotion.

Whether in the heart of a chaotic city or on a solitary late-night drive, this is a drum and bass anthem for the new era-dedicated to all the "backgrounds" of the world who choose to rave in secret.
