The Detroit-bred producer sends a positive message with his follow-up single on Insomniac’s offshoot imprint.
Detroit-based house music producer Qlank returns to IN / ROTATION with his latest single, “Therapy,” dropping on September 17th.
Low-end specialist Qlank “Therapy” has been spreading joy on Insomniac’s IN / ROTATION since first surfacing on the label in 2019. He’s paying the label another visit with an extremely potent bass house track that has been a staple in his live sets—and
it’s easy to see why. Marked by squawking synth stabs, dissonant fills, muted rimshots, trippy bleeps, and murky overtones, the track’s spacious, yet locked-in rhythms have all the trappings to entice festival and club crowds alike. Shrilling accents and manipulated vocal loops echo over the percussion, adding a world full of depth behind the distinct rhythms, cutting through with an almost eerie, atmospheric allure.
Behind the raw intensity of “Therapy” lies a deeper message of empathy and solidarity. Qlank peels back the layers to reveal the positive meaning behind its infectious one-link vocal hook: “This song has been a staple in my sets. The meaning behind it is: As humans, we should always help one another, as some of us are blessed with abundance and health while others are not. You never know what someone is going through until you ask and offer help.”
Qlank is a house music producer specializing in bass-heavy influences and cutting-edge sound design, which are both backed by his undying love for classic house music. He has released several EPs on the label since 2019, drawing support from prominent music publications including This Song Is Sick, EDM Identity, Glasse Factory, Stage Hoppers, Find Your Sounds, The Music Essentials, and EKM. He recently wrapped up an exciting and successful Spring 2024 tour, where he hit the road in support of Dr. Fresch.
In Qlanks’ already impressive and growing discography, “Therapy” stands as another expertly crafted bass house cut that will bring people on the dancefloor one step closer together.
