///POEM///

"Pure bliss, not realising everything in your life is perfect but realising your problems characterise you. Get lost in your mind, let your consciousness leave you, enter space and beyond. When your eyes are closed is when the mind is revealed, you negate all outside stimuli and you can roam free in your ideal, yet not quite perfect universe"

-afterglow, Cosmo batley.

I started this track more than a year ago after reading a poem a late friend of mine had written. He had such a profound impact on the people around him and never failed to inspire me whenever we spent time together. The track is wildly different from other stuff I've done and I'm sure Cosmo would've appreciated the heck out of it.

I hope something in this piece of art resonates with you in some way as I am sharing a part of my soul with you all.

Please close your eyes and roam free in my ideal, yet not quite perfect universe.

Afterglow

Presenting ‘Sequence’; the first single from @nicolas-haquin’s debut album, featuring @pikselsound on violins and vocal samples from LARA. Playing on the theme of wakefulness, the song embodies a sense of overcoming and glides through ethereal soundscapes. The rich textural introduction and bridge sections are contrasted with a warming downtempo / future garage groove first section, before climaxing with a leftfield juke-inspired rhythm and descending back to the ground.

Serving up a vibrant deluge of rhythmic whomp, hypnotic instrumentation and atmospheric texture, “Intuit” delves deep into the shadowy space between glitchy organic bass and luscious psychedelic dub. Supported by heavy, undulating basslines, evocative string work and emotive interludes, this collection tactfully explores the duality of nature and technology through the lens of experimental sound design. With five original tracks and three spirited remixes, “Intuit” delivers a surreal and potent array of soul food. Release via Shanti Planti.
