‘Eclipse’ is a dark melodic techno track infused with Spanish Flamenco guitar. An interesting combination some might say - well let me tell you why.. 👀

I’ve always been fascinated by Spanish guitar because my mother used to play it very well. Unfortunately, she died when I was very small, and so I never got to hear her play 🥺

Her guitar used to sit in one of the rooms in my house collecting dust. I’d often go look at it, as it is probably the only thing I have to remember her by.
I then start learning to play the guitar myself, but I was focused mostly on playing rock and metal (so much angst) on an electric guitar and got to a pretty high level on it

One day I decided to give the flamenco style a try and picked up my mother’s guitar and started strumming away. I was hooked… 💪
I began to learn more about the style, strumming, and harmonies and found that both styles were very closely linked to the metal I was used to playing (ie. all mostly written in the Phrygian mode) 👌

Now a lot of my productions incorporate flamenco in some way or another, either the instrumentation or harmonies themselves 💃

Anyway, that’s the story behind the track - it’s about how even when the times appear dark there’s always some light at the end of the tunnel 🌙

Send it to a friend that will love melodic music too!

Premiere: Nico Morano - Cartago [Hive Audio]

The mighty Ejeca reveals his latest EP on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth. Hot off the heels of his chart-topping single ‘Ekstac’, the Belfast born groovemonger delivers yet again with this thought-provoking four-track EP.

Kicking off with ‘Everglade’, where slow-building arpeggios set the pace for a dramatic combination of fluid sounds that bud and flower into a momentous dancefloor moment. Eastern flutes echo over rich synth chords and intricate drum patterns in a minimalistic yet awe-inspiring opening track.

The heavyweight kicks of ‘Your Mind’ deliver the damage from the offset. Here Ejeca fuses in a heavily edited vocal line across a perplexing synth line and the two blend over the rhythms in a twist of blissful elation.

‘Artemis’ channels true techno ideals throughout its five-minute lifeline. The racing 808 hats and pounding toms roll across a vast chasm that paves the perfect path for the steadily building synth lines that drift in over the top.

Final track ‘Diskord’ brings faster tempo rhythms where hard panning chords and a meaty kick drum offer a firm backbone for the trippy sonics that feature across this ingenious techno cut. Whispering French spoken word over a blisteringly crisp 909 drum groove fly in at lightspeed and leave absolutely no prisoners.

Press Release:
SOBEK cracks familiar patterns with his track "Casio Samples" and invites to a lavishly laid table full of hypnotic synths, sweaty breaks and unique sounding percussions plus sporty arrangements. With "Ruler of the Line", SOBEK is heading for a nightly road trip full of puristic groove, retained happiness from the 80s and an almost outrageously thick vibe."Legend From Outer Pace" resembles an acoustic uprising of reactivated analog-slot-machines dancing in sync to the beat of powerful claps towards sunrise. Tyu's remix of "Legend From Outer Pace" perfectly picks up the mania of the original and darkens the basic soul thus gives the track a sparkling rush and additional magic.
