Album Review: I Can Feel It by MAFS
Alright, let me just say this—MAFS’ I Can Feel It hit me like a wave. Not one of those gentle beach waves either; more like the kind that knocks you off your feet and leaves you wondering what just happened. Released in 2019 under Bang Record (Italy representing hard!), this house gem is pure energy bottled up into beats. If electronic music’s your thing—or even if it isn’t—you need to give this album a shot.
Let’s talk about the titular track, “I Can Feel It (Extended Version).” Oh man, where do I start? The opening builds so smoothly, teasing you with these soft synths before BAM—it drops, and suddenly you're not just listening anymore. You’re feeling it. That bassline? Insanely addictive. It’s got this hypnotic pull that makes you wanna close your eyes and lose yourself for a bit. And trust me, when they extend it, they really take their time stretching out all those juicy layers. By the end, my heart was pounding like I’d been dancing for hours—even though I was just sitting on my couch.
Another standout for me has gotta be how MAFS plays with rhythm across the album. There's another track—I won’t name names—but dang, it sneaks up on you. Starts simple enough, but then little details creep in. A hi-hat here, a vocal echo there… It’s subtle stuff, but it adds up to something big. Like watching stars appear one by one in the night sky until BOOM, you realize you're staring at a whole galaxy.
What gets me most about I Can Feel It is its vibe. This isn’t background noise—it demands attention. Whether you’re vibing solo or losing control on a packed dance floor, MAFS knows exactly how to keep you hooked. Honestly, some albums feel like they were made because someone thought, “Hey, let’s make an album.” But this? Feels personal. Feels alive.
Here’s the kicker though—listening to this record reminded me of something kinda weird. House music always talks about unity, right? About coming together through sound. Well, hearing I Can Feel It felt less like joining a crowd and more like finding a piece of myself I didn’t know was missing. Maybe that sounds cheesy, but hey, sometimes cheese tastes good.
So yeah, go listen. Turn it loud. Let it mess with your head—and maybe your soul too.
