Melbourne is quickly becoming a beacon of electronic music with some of the biggest names emerging from the Naarm circuit. One of the best is IsGwan who returns with "On Your Mind", a deep and soulful UK Garage cut that further cements his reputation. Teaming up with vocalist Amber Ferraro, the track showcases a refined melodic approach, blending shimmering synth textures, intricate drum programming, and a warm, rolling bassline.
"This song represents my shift towards more melodic music, moving away from club-focused tracks to something that can be enjoyed in any setting. It started with a jam session with Soma, whose vocals became a key part of the track, and later, Amber helped shape the main melody. I focused on creating a musical journey with classical influences, refining every detail, especially the drums, and this song ended up taking the longest to perfect.” – IsGwan
Known for his ability to weave together influences from breakbeat, dubstep, and jungle, IsGwan takes a more emotive turn here. Ferraro’s vocals glide effortlessly over the instrumental, adding a touch of vulnerability and longing that complements the track’s immersive atmosphere. There’s a clear nod to classic UKG, but IsGwan infuses it with a modern sensibility—his signature crisp production and attention to detail shine through, especially in the precisely layered percussion and dynamic low-end grooves.
Coming off the success of "All You Want", this latest offering continues IsGwan’s evolution toward more melodic territory.
