Zima - Shadow Play (Original Mix) [Free Download]

Former Discovery Project winner Zima has just released his latest track in “Shadow Play” as a free download from the Discovery Project Releases series. Sasha Michkovsky was born in Ukraine before moving to the San Francisco area in 1999 where he honed his skills as a resident DJ at the noted nightclub Ruby Skye.

“Shadow Play” has loads of underground vibes with a tech house flair thrown in for good measure. The 21 year old creates a track that will transport you to outer space with its swirling arpeggios and melodic grooves. Read on to see what Zima has to say about the tune:

“I really, really love arpeggios. I think I got that from listening to Muse so much. I wanted to write a song that was based solely around an arpeggiated chord progression, and that’s exactly what I did. By playing with the decay and release of the lead synth, I was able to create some very epic builds. But I love coloring the soundscape in unique ways, so I threw in this twirly synth I came up with that acts as a “response” to the bassline and lead arpeggios. There is also a Diplo-inspired synth that dictates the breakdowns, along with string hits and ethereal, dark vocals. The entire song feels like an interstellar orchestral dance piece.”
