Having recently spoken out publicly about rediscovering the joy of finding new and interesting music via vinyl-only releases and how this music is becoming an increasingly important part of his club performances, Alan Fitzpatrick has put his music where his mouth is by releasing the first in a series of vinyl-only EP’s on 8 Sided Dice. These occasional, limited edition 12” EP’s will give 8 Sided Dice and their artist roster the opportunity to showcase a rawer, more underground alternative to the labels main output   

Eyes Wide Open sees Fitzpatrick on typically bombastic form, albeit within a sparser framework of sounds that include chugging industrial rhythms, reverberating metallic frequencies and wonky harmonic keys in addition to Alan’s trademark heavy-funk vibes. 
Eyes Wide Shut retains all the same musical elements with the exception of the ride cymbals and the main stab sound being fully closed; providing a dryer, tighter alternative that some DJ’s may find gives the track a more workable dynamic within their sets.
