Lateral Root

“Lateral Root makes electronic music that flows gently, pulls you in, and stays with you.”

“Sunlight” is an under-the-radar gem that you would not regret finding. The track blends lush atmospheric textures with subtle yet infectious EDM groove that gently pulls you in. The song carries a sense of longing, calm reflection, and quiet hope. Analogue synths, software, and outboard gear come together to give the track warmth and depth without overproduction. Rather than chasing drops, “Sunlight” focuses on gradual build-ups and immersive flow. It’s that kind of track that works equally well on headphones, late-night drives, or zoning out with your thoughts.
