Some would call it wasted time, others would claim they'd found their path. Many would call it a period of reflection, some may have squirreled those reflections away to face at a later date. A rule book to this scenario did not exist, experiences and reactions differed from person to person; it was a matter of taking things day-by-day for there was no knowing what might lie around the corner...

For their next release Bologna's Random Numbers have rallied together 16 artists for their most ambitious compilation to date. Featuring a stacked lineup of label mates and artists who move in similar sonic circles, the aptly titled 'Second Wave' succeeds their Parallel Routes V/A which saw the light of day at the beginning of the first lockdown. Over 12 hypnotic and mystical tracks, artists like MR TC, Eva Geist and Steve Pepe and Patricia Kokett, channel the moods and feelings we've all experienced over the last year; feelings of absence, desire and necessity.

PREMIERE: Patricia Kokett - PSY [Random Numbers]

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
