INFEKT - BEAMS Review

INFEKT is the second artist to make his Monstercat debut this week alone! On 3/20/24, "BEAMS" was released, and it quickly gained attention by fans! Christian Fial, aka INFEKT, is a Producer and DJ originally from Bayreuth, Germany. He is best known for making Riddim music on many labels (primarily Disciple).

The song starts out with some arcade-type sound effects, some deep synthesizers, and even a little bit of sampled spoken word. Everything is pretty quiet even when it starts to build up, but when the beat drops, this tune gets LOUD! I mean it, it seems like nothing, but when those synths kick in, it almost makes your skull rattle is you have it up loud enough. The synths on this song are actually really interesting though. They have this weird (but very cool) recorder-type sound with some very heavy and deep bass which makes for a unique sound you don't hear often. One of the reasons this song is great! It's a short song, only about 3 minutes long, but it's no doubt a banger!

I truly believe this is a great song, and it fits the Uncaged brand very well. However, because it is so short, I wouldn't say it is my favorite of the 3 songs released this week so far. With that said, I'll be giving this song a rating of 4.3/5, so don't get me wrong, it is still good, just not as great as "Dread" or "Another Light".  I am very excited to hear what the Monstercat record label will be releasing in the next two days! I am really starting to enjoy their catalog! If you want to hear "BEAMS", click on the link below! - Elliott Dudoit
