Ryan Berkeley | HIM005

Houses in Motion returns after a short hiatus with HIM005. A five track solo mission from HIM’s newest family member and Melbourne mainstay, Ryan Berkeley. Ushering you down the glistening nebulas of the milky way, smack bang into the middle of his much-anticipated first EP. 

The cosmic tour commences on Side A amongst the constellations. Twinkling and refracting light into peaceful, ambient hues of playful, bubbling sequences whose weightlessness is reminiscent of taking springboard steps on the moon. 

As the flipside draws near, the introduction of a subtle kick and sharp, pointed melodic riffs, repel you back through meteor showers and black holes to spit you out on Side B; a parallel dimension of hard hitting, intergalactic future house classics.

The people in the room began to dance, worries were left outside on the pavement and would not be collected until sometime tomorrow morning. All love within this desparate place was to be found amidst the room, what was external was to be forgotten and ignored for the time being. He had come here to dance with freedom and self preservation. This was his night upon the floor and the rest of society could give a damn how he moved to and fro with a swing in his step. 

Ryan Berkeley is set to release an inspired new EP on Houses In Motion in what will be the fifth outing on the record label. A strong release spanning a breadth of genres and style - this one is a treat.

Melbourne's Houses in Motion are a label we've had the pleasure of premiering music from before. Continuing to stay with their ethos of releasing only local, Aussie artists, they have the pleasure of welcoming fellow Melburnian Ryan Berkeley into their family. It's been a little while since HIM's last release but we're happy they're pushing only the best talent that they come across. HIM005 from Ryan Berkeley is a bit of an intergalactic journey that builds up as the record progresses.

Starting off with some lush melodies on the A side in the forms of 'Everything in Moderation' and 'All I Love', we see a subdued and dreamy side of the Australian producer. Floaty cosmic atmospheres and bloops take you straight into outer space. As the A side draws to a close this spaceship picks up some steam with 'Crutches'. Subdued squelchy melodies and arpeggiated riffs are the turning point on the record and there's no going back as the hard-hitting B side looms on the horizon.

B1 'JuKnow?' brings us straight into house territory with a chunky bass, chopped vocal loops and extra-terrestrial bleeps as we approach the blazing heat of the sun on this journey into outer space. Climaxing on the B2 and our premiere today, we feel the full intensity of the record culminate in 'You Dance, You Move'. A vocal sample tells you to do just that as heavy drums and an acid line start to melt your brain. You're fully in alien territory now and there's no turning back.

PREMIERE: Ryan Berkeley - You Dance, You Move

A house of sonic refuge on shifting sands. 

We operate on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Peoples of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders past and present, and acknowledge the Indigenous community of so-called- Australia's power and resilience in the face of the ongoing impacts of colonisation.
