The Devroy EP by Robin Wylie is a 4 track EP which takes you on a nostalgic journey through the 90s capturing the early spirit of rave. Made using analogue equipment, this EP is creative, raw, and unique and tells the story of one night in Birmingham.

Opening with My Sound Rude Boy, a 136 bpm breakbeat track reminiscent of the tunes of 1991 complete with whistles, classic rave samples, and a steady driving rhythm which is only interrupted by an emotive hands in the air breakdown - standard - before returning with more force, additional choppy amen heat, cymbal clash and acid warbles. We're on our way straight back to 91 and I think we've found the rave!

"If you want it" that is ........although there was no turning back now. The 2nd track set at 140 bpm is a relentless, intense, explosion of sound on a more techno tip - sound the alarm! With a pounding rhythm and crazy cartoon style samples, this track has got us feeling like we've gone on the Waltzers a bit too soon after smoking a zoot! Sounds, lights, people, action.... exciting!

Out of the fairground we head into the rave. A dark, smoky warehouse with a banging wall of sound! The sounds of "Acid tastes better with you" is blaring out the speakers, a serious yet hypnotic beat filled with acid bleeps that bubble up and down in intensity as lasers cast a fleeting light on the ravers inside dancing til dawn.

Before we knew it, the sun was shining through the windows and people started piling outside! We decided to get some fresh air and see what the fuss was about. Outside we saw a massive rig had been put up and some mad tune around the 158 bpm was going off! A 4x4 stomper with loads of chopped up breaks over calming pads and other mad noises was blaring out the speakers and people were going nuts. This was different - and proper banging too. We looked around at each other in the light of day and smiled. We'd made it! DESIRE 96!
