On a personal level, Shinra is my favorite producer of 2017 and it is an honor and a privilege to  to feature him on Neptunian Influence. He is a master of his very unique sound and I’ve never really heard anything else quite like it. Prepare to lose yourself in a dream and if fate should have it, we’ll find each other for a dance in the Great Dark Spot.

Is it reality or is it an illusion? With Neptune, it is hard to tell. Neptune's influence reaches further than the ordinary senses, so there may be aspects of extrasensory perception at work. Illusion, fantasy and dreams are the playing field here, and the spirit is the primary force. Leading to all things mysterious, Neptune's watery depths are associated with dreams, visions, and the imagination.

Although rhythmic and dance floor worthy, this track’s primary form takes on the immersion of a Transcendental Meditation. With a driving mantra present throughout, it works through different pockets of your mind; surfacing, making sense of and setting free buried thoughts, while always returning to the propulsive sedation of this motif.

Since debuting modestly in 2014 under the alias Kaboko, Lazy Pluto has juggled a diverse array of inspirations, including early-’80s funk and electro, art rock, raw and classicist house, and Dubstep, while putting a fresh spin on the forms to decayed, disorienting effect.

“Ambient music is something that can be used as a tool, I’ll often use ambient music for meditative purposes, you can create such an interesting emotional sensation with this genre, it’s beautiful and relatively unexplored.”
