A unique interpretation of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" by Haywyre creates a journey with soulful keys and funky basslines complemented with heavy, melodic break-downs into the half-time beat.
What particularly impresses me about Haywyre is that he isn't so much an electronic music producer as he is a composer of musical experiences. Every detail of his music has a purpose to guide the listener through a reflection of his own philosophies in the form of soundwaves.

I originally heard this track dropped in a live edit by Gramatik over the summer and it was undeniably a powerful moment for the entire crowd. I only recently found out the actual name of this track was unsurprised that it was a creation of Haywyre's to begin with.
