There are plenty of things left to be modernized, and Geo22’s first single 'Magic' does exactly that. By merging the careless and nostalgic attitude of rave-adjacent genres with the epic grandeur of choir music, the listener suddenly is confronted with something that feels new and truly contemporary. Dotted with references to the optimistic and unifying approach of the new age movement, the duo steps in to provide an update of the musical palette and approach of influential projects and artists like Enigma or Enya. It’s accessible music for the people, and you could just go ahead and call it pop.
The Berlin-based artists behind Geo22 grew up on a healthy diet of both guitar and electronic music and participated early enough in what club experiences the capital had to offer during the late 2000s. But instead of settling into a techno-immanent rigidness, the duo aspires to inject their music with color, making a generous offer to reevaluate what dance music in 2023 could sound like.
