Celestial Body

Today we a premiere a track from Welsh native Maroki who joins the Running Out Of steam team for a six track EP of eclectic grooves, from breaks to moon-lit acid. ‘Alfred Stole My Brain’ is tranquil ceremony of electronics which is both welcoming and meditative, but maintains a functional dance-floor vibe.

Originally from West Wales now residing in Amsterdam in a studio nestled beside the river Ij, Maroki now joins the ROOS family following a string of stellar releases.

Maroki leaves nothing to chance, using his classically trained skills and expertly engineered sounds into a pool of influences that range from breaks, moon-lit acid and heads-down chuggy goodness.

The now Amsterdam based producer has put the down and grafted in the studio for this release, pulling inspiration from various places and pulling out a mixed bag of goodies for his debut on Running Out Of Steam.

‘Alfred stole my brain’ poses as a swarm of warm and inviting melodies, gliding flanges, deep bass and blissful harmonics, but stays dance-floor ready with crisp and poignant drum work. This is a real delight from the Welsh man.

Four Four Premiere: Maroki - Alfred Stole My Brain [Running Out Of Steam]

"Compliments is a non-binary dance music producer from Huddersfield, based in London. Their work is heavily influenced by the percussive UK styles of jungle, garage and bassline, with a pinch of nü-metal’s distortion and adolescent energy thrown in for good measure.

Tomgirl, their newest release on Mantissa, showcases these stylistic influences across four tracks that move between wonky 4/4 techno, amen-heavy jungle, spacey 140 and swampy chugging house, playing with the idea of floating somewhere between masculinity and femininity, hard and soft.

After experimenting with samples of their own voice on their debut album ‘The place where my voice should be’ (self-released in March 2022), the EP builds on this technique to create eerie atmospherics and strange rhythms in a more club-focused and dance floor orientated zone.

Tomgirl is topped off with a remix by Bristol’s Bex, channeling a potent strain of bassy, stepping techno that her productions and DJ sets have become famous for."

PREMIERE: Luke All Night - Where Have You Been [Mixing Mates]

Ross Harper said: ‘Narcissist' is inspired by my time in the organised evangelical church, where I came across some very well meaning individuals, but actually the agenda was very controlling. I grew up in a single parent family with just my mum around, and I associate more with the feminine than the masculine, in the end, although I have a serious faith in God, I found the male dominated evangelical church very oppressive to my spirit. Interestingly when I challenged the male leadership regarding issues of why homosexuals were not allowed to be church members I met severe opposition, they wrote me a letter asking me to justify my beliefs against scripture, so I decided it was time to leave that chapter of my life.

’Narcissist’ is taken from Ross Harper’s forthcoming ’The Dark Album’ released on City Wall Records on 31 October. Ross Harper’s supporters include Slam, Kolsch, Maceo Plex, Charlotte de Witte, Jennifer Cardini, Skream, John Digweed, and Local Suicide.
