Neon Diffraction Brings Blues and Soul Into the Liquid Drum and Bass Current on "Stay a While"

At 174 beats per minute, there is little room for a song to stand still. Yet "Stay a While", the new release from Neon Diffraction, finds an unexpected kind of intimacy within the restless momentum of drum and bass. Rolling breaks and deep bass provide the forward motion, while soulful vocals and blues inspired songwriting give the track a human warmth that extends beyond the dance floor. It is a meeting of contrasting musical instincts, built around the tension between electronic energy and the emotional pull of a song asking someone not to leave just yet.
