Ebende - Nostalgia

He got away with murder most of the time; all he had to do was get on the charm offensive and any negative feelings towards him seemed to disappear. Some would say it was a skill, one perfected through years of practice - sometimes he could wriggle out of situations with just a smile and a wink. It was inevitable that at some point he wouldn't get off so lightly, a time would come where he'd overstep the mark and the world would come crashing down around him.

For the second release on his Dynamics Of Acid imprint MOY joins forces with mystery man Zodiac Childs for a split EP that explores the pair's shared love of electro, breaks and hardcore. Separately the pair have notched up EPs for Nocta Numerica, Batrachian, Exalt Records, Further Electronix and their own labels, and now they're coming together to each share an original cut backed up by a remix of one another's work. Packed full of anthemic melodies, acid madness and thunderous bass, the four tracks showcase the synergy between the two artists and their knack for capturing the euphoria of the 90s.

Featherstone - Contact (ERN005)

Premiere : wei - to be a clear (RYDM131)

If United We Stand anchored you to the dance floor, then Divided We Fall is here to send you airborne.

Also featured on my new EP with Capital Heaven, this second track takes the progressive element and pushes it straight into trance territory—but fear not, the breaks are still firmly in control! This tune is all about atmosphere: soaring melodies, hypnotic rhythms, and that driving energy perfect for an eyes-closed moment.

It's the melancholic, peak-time counterpoint to its sibling track. Less haunting shenanigans, more uplifting breakbeat euphoria.

Both tracks are out now!

The word ‘Isolation’ undoubtedly has a new weight to it. For any person, within communities, it has the ability to starve us of something essential OR positively re-calibrate an individual whose introspection can lead to creation. The title & concept of this release is simply an acknowledgement of a creative process in which going inwards can lead to the discovery of something unique.

We as people move alongside technological advancements & this has the power to ‘connect & isolate’ Our personal relationships with one another also take on new forms as our tools for communication change. This inspires creative action. The human response to modern devices can result in surreal and unfamiliar expressions. In terms of music, our instant access to information from the past & engrained intuitions lead us to revisit atavistic rhythms of the past & reinterpret them with new sensibilities. We create music from the ‘Now’ that traverses the ‘Past’ with sights set on the future!

Bonds created from this expression can withstand and even strengthen even when inter-continental physical distance is imposed - forcing us to look inward to investigate the true depth of relationships forged out of creative expression. Rhythm has been used for millennia to locate the deepest parts of the soul & to re/connect spirits - this is true also in the modern age. Certain feelings cannot be expressed via digital text-communications nor with words alone; Music is the answer. Connection through disconnection.
