Acorn Morocco is here to prove he's a master. "Tight Tech (SOS)" is a bold, unapologetic song with a rhythm that cuts with precision. The tune isn’t so much a cry for help as a secret message to club culture: Get up and move.
“Tight Tech (SOS)” is a bold, genre-defying statement piece. The song skillfully blends sharp-edged wordings with a club-ready bounce. There’s a bravado comparison in its DNA, I think of the swagger and worldliness of Pitbull bumping up against the cerebral cool of Nas. When you think you’ve charted the territory, a low-key, off-center twist à la MF DOOM slips in with a neon Vaseline coating, lending a queasy traction that sticks long after the beat gives itself out.
The track possesses an undeniable personality. And the rhythm doesn’t just knock, it throbs with purpose. There’s bounce and bravado stitched into every bar, so that this is just as at home on late-night dance floors as in headphone-deep listening sessions. It’s music that makes you tap your feet and nudges your mind.
Acorn Morocco does not hedge here. “Tight Tech (SOS)” does what it needs to do in the middle, where there is just enough mass appeal and subterranean funniness to meet. It’s assured without being rote and daring without sacrificing groove.
