Aggressive Electronic Pop with Hints of Deep House. - Pawl x Discrete x Ebenezer: 5 AM

A groove-heavy party anthem that can be heard as both a celebration of late-night debauchery, and a condemnation of it.

We've written about Pawl and Discrete before - they are, each of them, talented and successful writer/producers in the electronic indie pop space, and when they work together, great things happen. On their latest collaboration, they pulled in some extra vibes from Ebenezer and Max Wassen, and "5 AM" was written as an exploration of the complicated relationship between love, public intoxication, and sexual intimacy.

With a fat kick drum, hints of deep house, and a party theme that is easy to connect with, "5 AM" delivers an aggressive electronic pop sound along with a production aesthetic that leverages a lean, melody-first mix against layers of slightly psychedelic autotune. The result is a groove-heavy party anthem that can be heard as both a celebration of late-night debauchery, and a condemnation of it.

Growing up in an artistic and culturally diverse household and discovering music production at an early age, Stockholm-based electro pop producer Discrete has now reached beyond 65 million total streams, helped in large part last year by the release of his highly-anticipated debut EP EXPLORE.
