The First Spark is a transmission from the moment the universe first learned to pulse.
Where its sister record chronicles thermal dusk, this album gazes into the incandescent opening...
the primordial instant when symmetry broke, motion began, and the first architectures of reality
flickered into coherence.

Its sound is built from the vocabulary of uplifting eurotrance, Y2K rave ascendancy, early-2000s
cyber-trance, melodic hard-trance, and maximalist J-trance: genres treated not as nostalgia,
but as proto-languages for emergence. Their supersaws, arp-streams, and velocity-grids aren’t
retro signifiers; they’re metaphors for the furious nascency of order crystallizing out of the void.

YOUR PULSE IS WAKING

The Exit Trance label (part of Exit Tunes) in Japan has provided many cheesy, uplifting and quirky releases over the years. As well as trance compilations, there are a huge amount of remixes of stuff like film scores, classical symphonies, anime soundtracks and even one all about remixes of Japanese train station arrival & departure melodies

Some of the latter are in this mix. Plus a remix of Nessun Dorma, of course. I had the idea to do this due to the spellbinding version of "Komm, Susser Tod" by Florence. I heard that, and knew I'd record a whole mix around it.

So here's a tribute to one of the craziest labels in the scene
