IVΛN GLZCOR & AACLAU - Beautiful Escape (LIZPLAY RECORDS)

I sat on this song for a long time. It means a lot to me. Almost a year later I figured it was time to get it out there. I wanted to try and capture how it feels for me to be a trans woman in this world. Bittersweet, long, painful, a little bit silly and (hopefully) beautiful.

The vocal samples are pulled from interviews with Octavia St. Laurent, Holly Woodlawn and Venus Xtravaganza. The interview with Octavia always stuck with me, the way she speaks about her desire resonates with me a lot.

The cover art is pulled from a photographic study carried out in Australia by Barry Kay in the 70’s. He photographed a wide range of trans women during that period, and I think the photos are beautiful. He, and his views were somewhat disgusting, so I don't feel bad about stealing his work for something I hope gives a nicer feeling behind them. Something about this one in particular always spoke to me though. The person in the photo is called Jasper, I have no idea if she is still alive.

PREMIERE: Saxxon - High Tide (Gerra & Stone Remix)

Download/Vinyl/Stream at: https://hospitalrecords.lnk.to/AloneInTheDarkEP1so

S.P.Y has been deep in his Bristol-based lab riling up a storm since the release of his killer double album ‘Back To Basics: Chapters 1+2’. His hard-drives are overflowing with sketches and scores, now he's ready to rise from the shadows with a three-part drum & bass blast - ‘Alone In The Dark’.

EP:1 brings two distinct shades. Opener ‘Keep On Searching’ rolls deep with a signature S.P.Y bassline moving slowly across sultry vocal fragments. ‘Unlimited Love’ brings uplifting summer warmth with an inviting male vocal lead, set and ready for festival season.

A ragga vocal throws back to jungle roots in ‘Soldier’, this alongside ‘Black Ops’ makes two surefire weapons for recruiting the early morning D+B troops. Title track ‘Alone In The Dark’ is a definitive room-filler bringing weighty bass, punchy percussions and a menacing synthline, assassinating anyone in his path.

A man entirely dedicated to his craft, S.P.Y represents leading D+B imprint Hospital Records pushing the depths of the underground sounds with class and consistency. Already support has streamed in from the scene’s best, including worldwide drum & bass executioner and Beats1 resident Andy C. He's quickly become the go-to man for hard hitting dancefloor remixes; Sigma, Karen Harding, KDA & Tinashe, Rag & Bone Man, Maverick Sabre & more.
