New Delhi producer and sound engineer Ripple Drift continues his exploration of genre fusion with ‘Leave You Alone’, released 5 September on Routine Espresso Recordings. The track is an intriguing mix of progressive house and melodic techno, guided by serene vocals, sweeping basslines and hypnotic groove.
From the opening bars, ‘Leave You Alone’ feels expansive. The vocal floats gently over layers of synths, creating a sense of calm that contrasts with the power of the low end. A robust, sweeping bass anchors the track, while undulating percussion pushes it forward. The result is a track that is both hypnotic and energising, inviting dancers into a meditative yet driving space.
Ripple Drift’s strength lies in blending textures. Here, he leans into progressive builds and melodic detail, but his background is never far away. As Satyam Sangwan, his work has always drawn from a wide range of influences, including glitch, downtempo, drum and bass, IDM, and global folk sounds. That eclectic foundation gives his productions a depth and unpredictability that sets them apart from formulaic dance music.
‘Leave You Alone’ highlights that range. The melodic layers are finely tuned, shifting and evolving across the arrangement, while subtle resampled elements add colour beneath the surface. It is a track that works equally well in a club setting or on a more introspective listen, bridging the gap between functional DJ tool and immersive headphone experience.
With releases like this, Ripple Drift is carving out a niche that feels international in scope but deeply personal in execution. By drawing on both global textures and cutting-edge electronic production, he creates music that is both innovative and accessible.
‘Leave You Alone’ is more than a single. It is part of Ripple Drift’s ongoing project to blend worlds, reshape influences and create tracks that feel timeless and forward-thinking all at once.
