Listening to “Higher Ground” is like getting hit by a freight truck while chugging a liter of cold brew. The track had TNGHT producers Hudson Mohawke and Lunice bridging the gap between Lex Luger’s dirty South production and modern dance music, preluding (and arguably helping birth) the EDM-trap craze. Its guttural brass line, ferocious breakdown, and vocal sample lifted from Julie McKnight’s 2002 club anthem “Home” combine to erect an imposing electronic music monument. The popularity of the track led its makers to recoil from the spotlight and quietly switch off the TNGHT signal, which is fair enough. In its sheer sonic magnitude, “Higher Ground” is essentially insurmountable. –Noah Yoo

?歌曲“Higher Ground” 的聽(tīng)感體驗(yàn)就像沉醉冰啤酒的同時(shí)被貨車(chē)撞飛了。歌曲中TNGHT的御用制作人Hudson Mohawke和Lunice糅合Lex Luger式骯臟的南方音樂(lè)和現(xiàn)代舞曲，預(yù)告EDM和Trap曲風(fēng)的大熱(也可以說(shuō)是促成了兩種曲風(fēng)的誕生)。歌曲里的喉音銅管音軌，猛烈而破裂，采樣自Julie McKnight2002年的俱樂(lè)部神曲“Home”的人聲，共同成就出這首足以載入電音史冊(cè)的雄渾大作。歌曲的炙手可熱讓制作人徹底逃離討論中心，悄無(wú)聲息地停止以TNGHT的形式活動(dòng)，這值得夸贊?！癏igher Ground”的影響力之大，不可磨滅。–Noah Yoo
