Rick Baster’s latest single “005” is a total ear-candy gem, immediately hooking you with its pulsing blend of trance-inspired electronica and nostalgic ’90s vibes. Hailing from a late-night jam session in Barcelona, this track breathes with raw, spontaneous creativity yet feels refined and dance-ready. From the first beat, a simmering synth wave rolls in, building tension before bursting into an anthemic drop that perfectly balances high-energy thrills with a bittersweet, introspective undercurrent.
The vocals? Sultry, catchy, and lingering—Baster’s hook is one of those earworms you’ll find yourself humming long after the song ends. Retro dance-pop meets modern production: the result is a floor-filler with emotional texture, an electrifying combination that keeps you moving and feeling at the same time.
As someone who’s been following his journey—from bedroom MIDI experiments to topping Spain’s iTunes electronic chart—this feels like a stellar next step. There’s real heart behind the polished layers of shimmering synths and propulsive beats. It’s the kind of track that’ll light up a club and soundtrack a late-night ride with equal power.
I love the song, and it should be in everyone’s playlist because it’s that perfect mix of propulsive energy, emotive depth, and that addictive vocal hook that just stays in your head forever. 005 is a shining moment in Rick Baster’s evolution, authentic, energizing, and emotionally resonant.
