“Take control and follow purpose..“

We welcome new and familiar faces to Differential for our latest release: Let it Begin by Abstrakt Syntax, Minzo and Lottie Woodward including a mystical rework by SiLi. In this international collaboration Abstrakt Syntax and Minzo combine their lush and uplifting production with the ever-comforting vocals of the extremely talented Lottie Woodward. 

From the intro on, a charming and sweet mood is set by endearing chords. This feeling only gets reinforced with Lotties uplifting melodic performance and lyrics that inspire you to live your life to the fullest. Listening to this track is a guarantee to lift your spirits and make your day a bit better, grabbing your attention and making you bob your head subconsciously. It’s the perfect tune for a sunny day, an impromptu dance session or reminiscing about happy memories.

The included rework by SiLi takes the original and flips it upside down, adding mystery, soul and a much more rolling feel. The Swiss producer flavours the track with his well-known warm bass sounds, groovy rhythm and top drawer production quality. Where the original is something you would commonly hear at home, during a festival or in a bar, the remix is perfectly suited for the deep of the night, making its way into sets and moving crowds all over the world. 

Whether you prefer jolly summer vibes or a grimy soulful roller, this release has it all.

04. Memories

Jack Stevens aka Sully has become somewhat of a cult figure in the jungle world with his output being in high demand. His work is unmistakable. It’s always true to it’s origins while simultaneously adding new takes and juxtapositions in palette and composition. A true artist that excels in his field.

Stevens returns to Astrophonica with Swandive, a body of work presented in dual energies - dark & light, body & mind, Yin & Yang. In Werk you’re put to the test physically as es- ki-like percussion stabs grab the attention and demand a response. A staple in Fracture’s DJ sets for the last year or so.

Poison demonstrates a side to Stevens’ production that is harder, meaner, cruder and all together more brutal than he is known for. The result is an infectious mix of venomous bass and corrupted drum breaks fit to kill any dance.

The title track Swandive begins to counterbalance the fierce energy and bring some har- mony opening with calming strings and trademark icy melodies before elevating to an intense state of amen divinity that twists and turns in a story like fashion.

Memories completes the balance with euphoric bass stabs and emotional strings culminat- ing in a searing and conclusive anime-like solo. Some of Stevens’ most daring work. The cycle is complete.
