A Raver's Diary

America (Extended Mix)

Alex Banks releases ‘A Way Out’ on Mesh. The track stands as the first single from his anticipated third studio album ‘Projections.

‘A Way Out’ is a heady dancefloor track with a foot in breaks and techno alike. Flanked by the artist’s signature pads and synths, it balances melancholy and optimism with stirring effect.

A stunning video for ‘A Way Out’ has been created by award-winning motion graphic designer Matthew Clugston. He illustrates the track’s contrasting moods with dynamic images of hectic man-made cities, manipulated and warped in time with Banks’ hectic breakbeats. When the emotive pad sounds join the melee, images of mountains and lakes take the place of the concrete streets and buildings, representing serenity in contrast.

A Way Out

Deep In The Glowing Heart

Deep In The Glowing Heart (Night Version)

A wounded ghost of a warrior wanders the wilderness in need of shelter. Bearing a makeshift walking staff in one hand, a blade in another, his stride tells of someone whose purpose is long forgotten. Through the bush and planes, he encounters beasts, scorn of the unforgiving, and kindness of the unexpected. Though he must push on, because he's a member of the fallen, a vagrant, a vagabond.

Bongbeck - Battle Against Time

In what has been an incredibly successful 2018 for Jon Hopkins; from the release of his critically acclaimed album, 'Singularity', to sold-out worldwide touring, today Hopkins is happy to share a heavy-hitting remix of the album’s title track by ANNA - one of techno’s most captivating and in-demand new producers.

After cutting her teeth in clubs around Sao Paolo from the age of 14, ANNA has slowly risen to be one of the scene’s most respected names, with releases on the likes of Kompakt and NovaMute, along with support from Sven Väth, Marcel Dettmann and Richie Hawtin to name a few.

Building on the original track, the 'Singularity' remix blends rugged techno and transcendent electronics, which mirrors the pinnacle of the album’s motion, delivering a claustrophobic yet uplifting energy. Arguably one of ANNA’s strongest releases to date.

ANNA’s remix of ‘Singularity’ drops on Domino on Friday 16th November.
