Jason Robert Thedore Acopolis has a history of playing and performing in bands before transitioning to electronic music production. He has been actively releasing music in 2024 and “One More Toke” is his third and latest single!
The electronic sound effect that starts the track off flows in an urgent, fast paced manner which is then layered by percussion that is extremely crisp and almost chirpy. I found the use of both of these sonic elements as the foundation of the track quite unique and rather interesting. The beat comprises mostly of hard-hitting bass but the different forms of percussion coming together and sonically dominating the soundscape is the highlight of the track in my opinion! The many layers are catchy and fascinating to pay attention to.
The vocals are echoed out to the extent of intentional incoherence which leads to a very laid back, lean and trippy flow. I wish the melody had more pattern to it which would have made it catchier and stick to one’s mind easily. The last minute elevates itself to create a climatic effect which is a great way of adding variety. The song’s strength lies in its ability to create contrast between sonic elements that are in opposition and the production does a great job of playing with pace!
