Allan Jamisen takes a simple phrase and builds an entire electro-dance track around it, and to be honest with you guys, it’s more engaging than you’d expect, “Gotta Do” starts with dreamy synths before kicking into high gear with pulsing rhythms and distorted vocals that are stunning. The repetition could easily become annoying, but Jamisen knows exactly when to switch things up and keep you hooked.
The production has this minimalist approach that reminds you of classic electronic tracks stripped down but never boring, and those grimy synth lines hit hard when they need to, and the drops land with real impact. You can tell Jamisen spent time getting the balance right between reflection and pure danceability.
Knowing the backstory adds another layer to the listening experience. This came from a rough period in Jamisen’s life, and you can hear that rawness even as the beat invites you to move. The way the song evolves from “I gotta do” to “we gotta do” gives it more substance than your average club track. You should definitely follow Allan Jamisen on Instagram to keep up with his work and see where he takes his sound next.
