A Story Tale by DPKash: A Trip Through Sound That Kicks Ass
If you’re into electronic music that doesn’t just sit there and look pretty, A Story Tale by DPKash is a wild ride worth jumping on. Released in 2015 under Mistique Music outta Georgia (the country, not the state), this album blends downtempo vibes with progressive house like it’s nobody’s business. Tracks like “Take You With Me” and “Remember” slap hard enough to leave a mark—let me tell ya why.
First up, “Take You With Me.” This track grabs you by the ears and refuses to let go. It starts slow, teasing you with soft synths, but then BAM—it drops into this hypnotic groove that feels like floating through space while being chased by lasers. The beat builds layer after layer until your head’s spinning, but somehow it never gets overwhelming. It’s one of those tunes where you close your eyes and suddenly realize 10 minutes have passed. Freakin’ magic.
Then there’s “Remember,” which hits different. This one’s darker, grittier, like an old memory clawing its way back into your brain. The bassline thumps so deep it might as well be vibrating your soul, and the melodies twist around each other like smoke curling off a cigarette. You don’t just hear this track—you feel it. And yeah, maybe that sounds cheesy, but screw it, it’s true.
The rest of the album (“A Story Tale,” “One Thing”) keeps the energy flowing without falling flat, though they don’t hit quite as hard as the first two bangers. Still solid, though—DPKash clearly knows how to craft soundscapes that stick.
Here’s the kicker: listening to A Story Tale feels less like hearing an album and more like stepping into someone’s fever dream. Like, who even thinks to mix downtempo chillness with progressive house intensity like this? DPKash does, apparently, and damn if it doesn’t work.
So here’s my take—if you’re bored of the same ol’ electronic crap flooding Spotify playlists, give this a shot. It ain’t perfect, but it’s raw, real, and unapologetically itself. Oh, and fun fact? I listened to this whole thing while stuck in traffic once, and for those 45 minutes, I forgot I was trapped in a metal box going nowhere. Weird flex, but hey, music’s supposed to do stuff like that, right?
