Let's get something straight right now: if you're looking for the next disposable playlist filler, kindly piss off back to TikTok. Decanter isn't for you. This is the sound of two lifers - Demi and Dennis, the alchemical minds behind Wood Drift - dragging 25 years of underground legacy behind them like a duffel bag full of spiritual contraband, and pouring the essence into four minutes and forty-nine seconds of pure velvet chaos.
This is release #125 for Fall From Grace Records, and it doesn't feel like a milestone - it feels like a reckoning.
'Decanter' opens like a confession, whispered through smoke and sweat. The pads creep in - not lush, but haunted, like something left too long in the cellar. You can feel the weight of memory before the first kick even lands. And when it does? It doesn't drop - it unfolds. A slow, deliberate rhythm, like a heartbeat remembering how to love again.
This isn't a track. It's a pouring. The sound of vintage emotion being uncorked and passed around among the spiritually bankrupt. It's downtempo but never lazy, melodic but never obvious. Every note feels earned. Every shift in tone is a scar.
Where the first single 'Aura' floated like incense over a beach fire of lost time, Decanter seeps - thick and low, steeped in amber and ache. The bassline coils like a memory you thought you'd outrun. Synths shimmer, then wobble, then rise with the grace of smoke from a long-extinguished flame.
You can almost smell the red wine on the mixing desk.You can hear the ghosts in the room.
And that's the secret sauce here. Wood Drift doesn't just make music - they make residue. Sonic fingerprints on the glass of your consciousness. Emotional fingerprints. The kind that don't wash off.
Demi, of course, needs no introduction to the disciples of the deep. As 1/3 of SOS alongside Desyn Masiello and Omid 16B, he helped define the sound of progressive for a generation - sculpting rituals for Ministry Of Sound, BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, & Balance, and every other label that actually mattered. His name is carved into the temple wall of electronic music's golden era - not for hype, but for truth.
And now, with Dennis, Wood Drift is building new temples. Stranger ones. More personal. Less about dancefloors, more about afterglow.
Decanter is the second transmission from the forthcoming full-length album 'Ten Years After', and if this track is any sign, the record isn't going to be a victory lap - it's going to be a spiritual bloodletting. Not a return, but a resurgence. The sound of two architects of the underground crawling out of the wreckage with fire still in their teeth.
This is not nostalgia.This is not a comeback.This is a continuation - dirtier, wiser, and deeper than ever.
Fall From Grace Records, with its 125th release, hasn't just delivered a track.They've bottled time.
Decanter is a hymn for the sleepless, a toast to the wounded, and a message to the new wave:We were here before you. We'll be here long after.
And we'll still be dancing.
