“Don’t stray off the track!—if you do, it is a thousand to one you will never find it again and never get out of Mirkwood; and then I don’t suppose I, or any one else, will ever see you again.”

Influenced heavily by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, Redshift’s Mirkwood EP provides a coherent journey through dark, twisting woodlands filled with mysterious creatures. Although the journey is perilous, the adventurers all return, with tall tales to tell of talking trees and ancient cities. Mirkwood represents a detour from Redshift’s exploration of the realms of Science Fiction and a foray into the territory of Fantasy - a return to the pages of the many novels that provided countless hours of escapism. 

Eschewing the boundaries of humanity and the interplay with technology, instead the focus is inwards on more fundamental, internal and uniting aspects of experience, intending to facilitate connection via a shared journey!

Redshift fuses organic and industrial textures over dark progressive grooves to create a futuristic aesthetic. This amalgamation of sound is focused on delivering a sense of synaesthesia and distorting the listener’s perception of time. The combination of complex mechanical soundscapes and techno-influenced basslines truly creates a sense of redshift as you move further and further from the light. 

Redshift has been refining his sound for over 15 years, with releases on international labels such as Zenon Records, Techgnosis Records and Technophobia amongst others. Listeners can anticipate highly technical productions utilising a wide array of experimental sound design techniques that create a distinctive and unique brand of progressive trance and techno.
