Wonderland is a whirlwind ride through dance music as heard through ABSOLUTE.’s ears: emotive house, hard-edged techno, divine disco, and euphoric rave bring the party, while more cerebral downtempo and textural ambient tracks wind things down. It’s party music for a time without parties, all shot through with McGinley’s message of hope and equality for all.  
 
Speaking on the Mixtape, ABSOLUTE. explains: “Writing this album brought me back to life, I was writing music that helped me feel certain ways, freedom and connectedness to something I and many others were missing, longing hard to be around people, or needing a dose of raw euphoric rave energy which gave some release at the sheer desperation to dance and feel joy. Even if just for a short time, to feel transported to 90’s UK raves or New York’s underground gave me some life, and I hope it does for you too. Welcome to Wonderland…” 
 
The mixtape album came to fruition as a result of the recent lockdown where ABSOLUTE., and the rest of the world, was forced to a standstill. Anthony was determined to turn his frustration into art and participated in a creative workshop that helped open his mind to new ideas, taking his music in exciting directions. The title of the mixtape takes its name from Wonderland Arena, a now obsolete rave space in East London that played host to live performances from the likes of Frankie Knuckles, The Prodigy, and Carl Cox during the halcyon days of acid house and early rave, and that is now converted into apartments where Anthony currently lives and works. 
 
ABSOLUTE. Is a project that has steadily gained momentum over the last couple of years, deftly choosing the right path for long term success rather than quick gains. Coming from the vibrant LGBTQ+ club and rave space where he promoted influential events in London, Anthony wanted to make sure foundations were solid before making the break into the live arena with this incredible body of work. He’s DJed at a wide array of parties and festivals from Glastonbury and Creamfields to Fabric and Razzmatazz but performing live has always been the goal. As lockdown came into effect he was packing his equipment to go on the road supporting dance legends 808 State on a 10 date UK tour.  
 
Despite a total shutdown of the live sector during the pandemic, Anthony still managed to perform his debut live set for Radio 1’s virtual Ibiza weekend during the summer and has just announced a headline live show at Islington’s assembly for March next year in partnership with underground gatekeepers Percolate. 
 
Alongside his musical accomplishments, Anthony is a passionate activist for human rights and has a longstanding track record of work supporting issues including climate, race, and LGBTQ+ justice. After attending the first Extinction Rebellion action in London, McGinley wrote “Rave Against the Machine”, a track that sampled a speech by Greta Thunberg which resulted in XR later inviting him to programme the music line-up of their International Rebellion at Trafalgar Square, while at Glastonbury, he played at Greenpeace’s Rave Tree.

Release info:
"Donny Rotten grabs the baton for the third leg, weaving in shades of glistening disco-funk and squeezing everything through a delicious, French-Touch style filter; whilst all the time managing to retain that pacey House energy.

Josh Parkinson’s ‘What’s Next’ is a fitting middle marker for the LP, as his effort represents the inimitable sound that characterised the Eton Messy boys’ sound back in their early days; but there’s a lightness of touch here that transports that nostalgic vibe into a 2020 setting, bringing it bang up to date."

PREMIERE: Tom Symonds - Reel To Reel (Original Mix) [Eton Messy Records]

It's Not Over Yet

Lost in the Sun (feat. Ruth Royall)

Alive was a track designed for ambient listening and as a closing tune for sets. It is another uplifting track what compliments the EP perfectly. The 90's hardcore rave nostalgia is highlighted in this iconic composition with the classic breakbeat sound which entwines with the smooth pads and soulful vocal.

Dancin' / Alive

Alive

Available Now

The idea behind the song was to enlighten people's moods because of the lockdowns as everybody is feeling sad that they can't go to clubs, festivals or venues due to COVID-19. 

Dancin' is a very uplifting and catchy tune what anyone can dance to or sing along too. For me it's a track that sends an important message to people worldwide to keep on going and to stick together through music and of course by Dancin'.
