Fareoh – Cloud Ten [NCS Release]

The EDM dream isn’t built in a day and often times takes years and years worth of work to hone ones craft properly. Well for the New York City based producer, Fareoh, it comes down to just that, hard work. Developing a unique sound that bridges the gap between several different genres, it comes as no surprise to see his newest release “Cloud Ten” encompassing that production style.

Having just been released this past week on NCS, this melodic original has the feels written all over it. Dashing through a progressive electro style, this spring time ready track is unquestionably a must add to anyones play-list moving forward. Check out the full track below and if you dig it, download it (the track is available for free)!

Fareoh had already built a real reputation before this NCS release

By 2016, Fareoh wasn’t some random NCS one-off, the New York-based producer had been putting out original tracks and remixes for years, building a genuinely loyal following through free downloads and blog support long before landing a release on one of the biggest royalty-free platforms in the game. Getting picked up by NCS at this point in his career was less of a lucky break and more of a natural next step for someone who’d already put in the work.

NCS releases hit differently than a typical label drop because of how they’re used

A track going out on NCS isn’t just competing for streams the normal way, it’s also competing to become the background music of choice for thousands of YouTubers, Twitch streamers, and video editors who need something free and copyright-safe. That built-in secondary life is part of why melodic, emotionally driven tracks like “Cloud Ten” tend to do so well on the platform, they work just as well as a video soundtrack as they do as a standalone listen.

Springtime timing on a track this melodic wasn’t an accident

Releasing something this warm and progressive-leaning right as spring was kicking off gave “Cloud Ten” an easy seasonal hook for playlist curators and bloggers looking for exactly that vibe. Little timing decisions like that matter more than people realize for a track’s initial momentum, especially on a crowded platform like NCS where new releases are constantly competing for attention.

“The feels” as a description says a lot about where melodic dance music was headed

Calling a track emotionally resonant in exactly those words, “the feels written all over it,” was becoming pretty standard shorthand across blogs by 2016 for a specific wave of melodic future bass and progressive electro that prioritized feeling over pure club functionality. Fareoh’s whole sound leaned into that emotional, melody-first approach well before it became one of the more oversaturated trends in the genre a couple years later.
