As club music fans, we constantly seek out those special moments of sonic bliss, the moments that help justify staying out well past midnight. The Embrace EP captures the essence of those rave-affirming moments and tips its hat to the pioneers of its trancey 90s underground sound. Making his Fortune Signal debut, LA native @akumenmusic delivers a rave-ready 5-tracker just itching to be unleashed at peak time in a warehouse near you.

For this new release, Akumen has infused his signature house and techno workouts with what he cheekily describes as proto-trance. A tasteful yet potent combination of sonic ingredients, the resulting Embrace EP is a cohesive odyssey full of pumping bass and kicks, mysterious synth melodies, and skittering breakbeats. The release is comprised of Akumen's four original tracks as well as a remix by NYC underground luminary and Toucan Sounds mainstay Haruka Salt. The veteran DJ slaps an exclamation mark on the release with a loopy and deliciously percussive take on “Bring It” that re-awakens your senses for the final dance.

Akumen is a long-time fixture in the LA underground scene and co-runs the Made to Move monthly party and radio show. Working out of his home studio in East LA, Akumen produces "atmospheric, breaky and lush cuts to high octane, full-on-rave" tracks for labels including La Bonne Musique, 12 Inches Deep, Low Recordings and now Fortune Signal.
