Hola! Happy Friday. I'm doing this whole promo thing slightly differently this time. These are my next 4 releases on Strontium which I plan to release separately but they're bundled here for download.

4 different tracks. All roughly the same tempo but with quite different approaches in terms of the arrangements. 'PLAN A' is a techno/breaks hybrid with a rap vocal hook and big chorus energy. 'Haunted' is inspired by a quote from one of William Gibson's books; "Every time she looked around, all she saw were ghosts." This is really about moving forward and not looking back. It's also about not being stuck in the present, surrounded by the ghosts of your past. 'Focus' is a peak-time techno track which takes its time to develop, finally breaking down with a massive reese bass. This one, as many of you might know, is about having the focus and concentration, post-ADHD diagnosis, to finish music, to enjoy music, in a way that's new to me, and much more satisfying. Finally, 'Freaky Deeky' is a psychedelic romper that is cheeky and a bit of fun. I hope you like 'em! I had a lot of fun making them.

I mixed and mastered these myself. For those of you who are learning audio production, I highly recommend Streaky's mixing and mastering courses, as well as his youtube channel.

Your feedback is always appreciated.

PLAN A EP

Minister vs Youthful Implants - All Out (clip)

A warped reece bassline, stuttered vocal chops and a hyperactive break are the foundation for this dark, UK Bass inspired late-night roller. Raves All Weekend peppers the break with spoken-word patois to illustrate the theme; cyber-punk meets jungle techno in a clash of ominous melodies and fierce dancefloor energy. Light it up.

For the remix, Dopamine has done what he does best - stripped the instrumental back to the fundamentals, adding a pulsing off-beat bassline, hypnotic bleeps and ramped up the tension. With an old-school flavour and an old-school break, he twists Jungle Punk into a techno/breaks hybrid that doesn't let up and is already setting the dancefloor on fire at Revolver.

Alex Virr rounds out the package with a housier remix using shuffling, tribal drums and garagey keys to create a bouncy floor-filler for earlier sets.

Youthful Implants and Anti-Science - High Fidelity

Out now in all shops and streaming services.

The “Cool Down” catchcry resembles the call from the skate rink DJ, letting the audience know this is a chance to take a break, catch your breath and prepare for more feistiness. It is not however, the time to take off your skates. The musical journey is just as vibrant as the last bracket. Alternatively, Alex Virr’s Cool Down is sound system cultured. The patois tinge of the vocal inherently represents pulling up the bass with the irony being that everything about this track is heating up. Tuned kicks and open hats, reverb obtained from a quarried basement lined with amyl funes. It’s teeth grinding bass house, the type your neighbors hate at the kick ons. The bassline plays straight, then forces a
growl, akin to solar flares, flaming off the sun and torching your upper dermal layers ( It’s engrossing to think this was written amidst the 2020 Australian bushfires.) Cool Down , while written amongst angst, is the portal to forward your consciousness amongst the turmoil. To survive is a hope to rave another day.

Cool Down is backed by a remix from award winning Sydney producer Dopamine who tunes it up for ambassadors of rave, a soundtrack to accompany brain freezing light shows. Dopamine has added
singing rides that could call on punters to gather en masse then forget they entered the dancefloor with 3 compadres. The bass squelches are tightened to emphasize this remix is a journey in techno. Techno has no need to drop the kick out. Bass drops can be performed at the other end of the dance music process, leave that for the techno DJs. Consolidate this with less emphasis on tuned kicks, straighter in the high end, and the bass rolling with tech-house syncopation. You can expect the Cool
Down remix from Dopamine to be a call to the dance floor from the bar as the heavyweight bassline drops.

Revolver DJ | Owner of Strontium Recordings | Producer | Remixer

Born and raised in London, I’ve been deeply immersed in DJing and rave culture from the 90s. shaped by the sounds of Jah Shaka, Spiral Tribe, the Hacienda, and iconic parties like Movement at Bar Rumba. My sets and productions are driven by percussive, high-energy rhythms, dub-inspired basslines, and soulful, cinematic soundscapes.

Now based in Melbourne, I balance life as a full-time graphic designer with late-night sets at The Late Show at Revolver. Whether spinning UK garage, bassline, or peak-time techno, or collaborating in my studio, I’m always chasing the next moment of dancefloor alchemy.
