The Enveloping Sound of Engelwood’s “Puerto Rico”

Credit once again goes to YouTube vlogger, MarkE Miller, and fellow channel, Majestic Casual, for this discovery. Miller recently posted a vlog featuring a song entitled, “Puerto Rico” by the producer, Engelwood. The mostly instrumental track evokes a little bit of Marvin Gaye smooth, part Capitol Cities’ “Safe and Sound.” At just over 2:30, it starts very quietly but ramps up to its full, funky level, so don’t adjust the volume when the song starts; its presence will be made, slowly but surely. It’ll eventually wash over you, filling the ears and surrounding the head with the deepest, most interesting, satisfying bass-drum (heart) beat.
