"We Control Matter Because We Control The Mind" George Orwell

In this uncertain world of post-truths and state actors how much of our 'reality' is controlled? With misinformation spread like wildfire, multiple realities presented by those with vested interests, and increasing use of AI technologies, where do we turn our trust for a true reality in the digital age?

'Controlled Reality' opens a new VA trilogy series for Codename: RCRDS, with several returning artists alongside a number of debutants on the label for a darker, brooding opener to the series.

The EP commences with Stringnet's brooding sci-fi epic 'The Stessa', where deep strings give way to snappy breaks and neuro style synths, marking an intriguing first instalment from this fresh talent. Codename regular Trident contributes the introspective roller 'Block IV', taking us to an unknown location far away from prying eyes, before NonRev wisely encourages us to 'Leave The City Behind' with his trademark driving grooves and deep atmospheric tones. TRC2 closes the EP with the paranoid techstepper 'The Few Left', full of warped basses and ominous alarms.
