Drawing from a variety of genres including hip-hop, R&B, g-house, and more across its 7 track runtime, BoomTown contains a warm undercurrent of energy that feels essentially West Coast.
"BUSS IT" makes for a catchy pop-tinged cut that opens the project, making its presence known with heavy, in-your-face percussion and whirling synths. "PROUD" shows DYLN's diversity with an airier style that opens up the sound palette with expansive, watery synths and bouncy percussion underscoring fluid vocals. "NASTY" brings in a g-house feel with its pulsating percussion and space-age synths, making for a dance-floor ready cut that features potent vocals from Famous Uno. Closer "TASTE TEST" is an appropriately titled track that brings in a sensual house-influenced sound to finish this energetic EP with a sleek cut that feels like an apt soundtrack for cruising late night in a California city.
