Label boss Opal Drum presents his debut solo EP under his new alias. Electric Spaces makes a bold statement marking a new musical direction — three peak-time house/techno cuts that showcase his ability to craft immersive, high-impact tracks built for the dancefloor. This release embodies Opal Drum’s sound: purposeful, immersive, and firmly rooted in movement.

Track 1 - "Carbon Signals"
“Carbon Signals” sets the tone with a driving, rubberized squelchy bassline and bright, euphoric stabs that punctuate the groove. It’s pure hands-in-the-air material — a propulsive cut made to lift the room from the first beat.

Track 2 - "Edge"
“Edge” is a swampy cut built on a bumpy low-end groove and crisp, driving percussion. Amped-up vocal chants push the momentum forward, keeping dancers locked in and the energy levels high.

Track 3 - "Boolean Spice"
“Boolean Spice” unfolds as a tightly-wound trip powered by a jagged, relentless, oscillating synth-line. Atmospheric ornamentation swirls around the core, creating an immersive soundscape designed to scramble your senses. Intricate yet explosive, it’s a peak-time weapon built to send the floor into full meltdown.

PANACEA b2b Opal Drum - 02/04/2025

Yes No Laser is an ethereal ride through dreamy synth textures and abstract vocal fragments, underpinned by cutting drums with a sharp electro edge. A raw, driving bassline adds a dark, relentless energy.

Ayahuasca is a masterclass in precision drumwork. Intricate rhythms weave around a stripped back, hard hitting bassline. Peak time floor-focused dance music at it's best.

Opal Drum reworks Yes No Laser into a choppier, more leftfield trip—warping the original’s ethereal textures into something loose and unpredictable. The original's flow is fractured and broken apart in playful ways, reshaping the track with an off-kilter, club-ready twist.

Snakes in the Grass is a raw, tribal workout driven by pounding percussion and a heavy, rolling bassline. A distinctive vocal chop cuts through the groove, adding edge and a hypnotic focal point to this heads-down, floor-focused weapon.
