Friendship, kinship, and a common passion for diverse shades of electronic music, set four creative spirits on an adventurous quest: a spontaneous collaboration. 

A studio session became a truly fruitful birthday gift, and what began with the sole and humble ambition of having a good time skinny-dipping in synths & sounds, soon evolved into a harmonic workflow that none of them could have anticipated.                                                                        

An outburst of rhythmic elements, a gloomy atmosphere, and a sparkling breakbeat on top of a rolling bassline make Obsidian a tune that resembles an obscure volcanic rock - fossilized lava that preserves its natural force, energy and heat. 

As a senior stonemason, Bernstein transforms the original’s dark timbres into a driving and bubbly gem, a shining spherolite in a flowstone cave. With their urgent, hypnotic indie dance interpretation, ki ya tori take the original to the floor without further ado. In the spirit of reductionism, Avsluta displays slick skills in layering strata of the original with subtle refinements. Her high-carat ambient version rounds off this EP as a coherent, yet versatile collection of precious stones.

Obsidian EP

We can barely imagine a better start to the new year.
For our 21st release "Obsidian" many friends pulled together. The EP features one original track and three remixes. The original track "Obsidian" was co-composed by Sun Drine, Dit:eau, Ben Jarli and TrickyJones.

Friendship, kinship and a common passion for many shades of electronic music made these four creative spirits set foot on an adventurous trail: a spontaneous collaboration.

A studio session makes a fruitful birthday gift, and what started with the sole and humble ambition of having a good time skinny-dipping in synths & sounds, soon evolved into a harmonic workflow that none of them could have anticipated.

An outburst of rhythmic elements in a gloomy atmosphere and a rolling bassline carrying a sparkling/flamboyant breakbeat make Obsidian a tune resembling an obscure igneous rock - petrified lava that preserves its natural force, energy and heat for those special occasions.

As a senior stone mason infamous for his fine sonic carvings, Bernstein transforms the original's dark timbres into a driving and bubbly gem, a shining spherolite in a flowstone cave.
With their fierce and powerful interpretation, ki ya tori take the original to the floor, without further adue.
In the spirit of adept reductionism, avsluta's ambient mix rounds this EP off to a coherent yet versatile whole.
