Blue Zone (Emelexy/Lara K.) is out March 5th, 2022. The first showing from new label EMBER is a four-track showcase of two local producers’ experimentations with dance music.

The EP opens with two tracks from Naarm-based producer and DJ Emelexy. Emelexy has been passionately involved in the local scene for years as a booker, with this experience now proving a vantage point for creative flourishing. Expansive, dubby, and driving, both tracks display Emelexy’s distinctive sound design and knack for propelling rhythm.

The latter tracks are by UK-born, Naarm-based producer/DJ Lara K. Expect percussive, fast maximalism, and a sound palette that mixes oldschool euphoria with contemporary glitchy abrasion. She has previously released on labels including Pure Space, IF? Records, Fluxx and AR53.

Two distinct sonic aesthetics are united through their otherworldly soundscapes and leftfield leanings. Tune into the Blue Zone.

Phases make up a life,

How lucky then am I,

To have had so many.



Ingrain me so with richness,

That real variance of feeling,

Indelible blessing,

Of the highs and lows.



Touched warm like of the sun,

By sweet fear of the yet undone,

A new leaf,

Anxiety’s gift,

To be able to feel and to feel like this.

__



Oh and I know it's made with

Intelligent design,

Paradise perfected,

All elements aligned,

But who's Eden, by design, 

Will it resemble your childhood or mine?



In love we trust,

A leap of faith,

Into the next phase,

Our digital escape,

Gaze into eachother's mind's eye,

Released from flesh, to never die, 



But can they capture the way,

You look to me,

Glittering in the glow,

Of my fallibility,

Simulate every freckle on your face,

Never dare to approximate, 



And with this new leaf,

Save humanity's gift,

To be able to feel,

And to feel like this.

__



Shock my senses with the injustice of morning,

I fear I feel I must be falling,



Back to the earth,

To the seperateness of bodies,

And now you'll never see what I see,



All the beauty, 

All the longing, 

To share what can only be fleeting, 



I wanted that connectedness,

Now I'm out here,

With the rest,



Live our lives,

I guess it's time we tried, OK, 



And if I feel there's nothing more to know,

It's only because I haven't known very much of life, 



Begging for something more to feel,

Running from anything real,



Coz all that we share,

And all we create,

Can only be laid to waste,

I wanted that connectedness, 

Now I'm out here,

With the rest,



Live my life,

I guess it's time I tried, OK.

___



I don't mind that you have to go,

Because I'm still basking in your glow,

Isn't it fine to never find,

Out what you didn't need to know,



Oh you’re not good for me,

And I could never be good for you,

I’m not so arrogant as to believe that I could ever,

Change a thing you do.
