Phonk is a genre that has been gaining traction in recent years, and silentRage is a newcomer making a name for himself in the Memphis phonk and dark house scene. His latest release, a cover of the 90s dance hit 'Ecuador' by Sash! featuring WRLDS, is a testament to his unique style and sound.
The cover comes in two versions - an original version and a slowed-down version - both featuring a synth-sounding cowbell melody that defines the phonk genre. silentRage uses metallic snares, modem-like echos, and unique distortion to create a dark and moody atmosphere that is both aggressive and captivating. The result is a mesmerizing blend of trance and phonk that feels like a modernized, demonic pre-game anthem.
silentRage's use of negative space and hooks derived from the original song give his cover a sense of familiarity while still feeling fresh and original. The addition of WRLDS adds another layer to the track, with his unique vocals complementing silentRage's sound perfectly.
Overall, 'ECUADOR!' is a dark and moody track that showcases silentRage's talent and unique style. As a newcomer in the phonk scene, he's certainly one to watch out for, and his cover of 'Ecuador' is proof of that.
