Test subject 1.25 @allurein of the beloved @neurocrankk collective, unearths a primordial dance between the hunter and it’s prey as they weave through an aberrant, glitching biosphere. A true narrative of survival where tension rises and falls as the hunt plays out through alien flora.

“I made the visual prompt my lock screen first and foremost, so that I’d be met with it every day. Any time I was listening to music it was right there; either to remind me to be listening for certain sounds I associated with the visual, or so that the visual would be so deeply engrained in my mind that I was always listening to music with a lens directly associated with the visual. 

I developed this sort of sci-fi story, of predator and prey that I felt came as a consequence of this relationship between the lushness of the visual; and the striking contrast of the sharp, grey, almost extra-terrestrial intrusions. Notwithstanding the embarrassment factor, it helped me create a narrative that I felt the interplay of songs could tell. 

I tried to imagine the strange sounds and animals that might arise, the ups and downs of my participation: haste, fear, exhilaration, and brief moments of tranquillity. As I said, it’s pretty embarrassing, but honestly it brought the visual to life and meant when looking for music, these were all the ways I wanted it to make me feel.

For me, the mix conveyed a story of survival in this glitched-out rainforest – a strange subsection prompting the discernment of what is artificial in an environment that was seemingly so close to a rainforest here on earth.”

Manifestation // Allure

Amuwa’s Debut EP ‘Force Majeure’ released on Eora based Midheaven Records in 2021 landed with a bang. Ten years of musical development manifests itself in a refined sound that brings together the best elements of progressive trance, electro and contemporary psy. Inspired by the constant sounds of city life, amuwa produces tracks with purpose. Whether built for the club or a great system in the great outdoors, environment is an undeniable underlying factor in his compositions. A keen attention to, amuwa’s use of sprinkling finishing touches, stereo imaging and subtle changes allow for big impact. The clean, driving and hard hitting sounds of amuwa have been a huge personal favourites of mine over the last year so I like many will be watching on for an exciting future ahead for amuwa.
