Sebastian Ingrosso’s “Flood” Is a Captivating Rush of Dark House Music: Listen

Sebastian Ingrosso is back with a new single, "Flood," a masterclass in tension and release that drowns listeners in haunting house music.

The influential Swedish House Mafia producer says his latest single is emblematic of a renewed sense of artistry.

"It's been a very long time since I worked on something of my own that represents who I have become since then," Ingrosso said in a post on Instagram. "I am on a journey of traveling inwards and this is one of the many stories I hope to tell." 

"Flood" is one of Ingrosso's best tracks in years. The track's undeniable highlight is its break, which emerges as a moment of eerie calm as the lyric, "Only for the flood to rip through you" hovers ghostlike over mesmerizing chords. It's here where his production truly shines with cinematic swells that conjure visions of underwater cathedrals, their stained glass fracturing under immense pressure.

As fluttering arpeggios then warp and twist, the tension ratchets up notch by notch in a beautifully claustrophobic build. But just when you think your lungs might burst, the drop hits, a euphoric release valve unleashing waves of pent-up energy.
