Dusky

Some Perthonal thoughts

Our brand new 4 track E.P. “Tales from the Power Hour” is out today 🚨

These were a blast to make. We wanted the 4 tracks to represent four different sides of the music we’re enjoying making and playing in our DJ sets recently. Manticore is a 140bpm melodic, bass heavy, rave inspired number with an Electro twist. Percy Veering is a vocal house jam that harks back to some of the earliest Dusky tracks, while Heart Trance Plant is our most explicitly trance-influenced track to date, inspired by mid-90s trance artists like Cygnus X. Finally, Strong Tackle takes influence from Acid Techno and various 00s UK techno strains. All 4 have been well and truly tried and tested on the dance-floor and have earned the seal of approval from crowds at our recent shows.

Very excited to announce our “Lord of the Ring Roads” EP is out today! Been hammering these ones in our DJ sets all over Middle Earth.

LORD OF THE RING ROADS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RAVE, a short story:

The sodium streetlights reflected in the dashboard of Bilbo’s battered Vauxhall Astra. Frodo gripped the dog-eared “Handy Road Atlas of Great Britain” tightly, the wind from the broken passenger side window fluttering the pages. SQ80 and M1 Pianos crackled on the radio. There had been many roads on this journey. One does not simply walk into a rave. Still they searched. A warning light flashed. Fuel tank nearly empty. 40 miles from home. A long way from the Shire. The last junction approached.

Suddenly they heard the sound system, the sweet subharmonic frequencies mixing with the breakbeats. This was it, the rave of all raves. The final rave. Cast it into the fire they said. But first, one last dance. Lasers piercing the sky. Big fish little fish cardboard box. What’s your name and what you on. Never come down. Hardcore will never die. Pianos and more pianos. Pure Euphoria. They say ring roads never end. It’s true. One ring road to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.

'Keep On (Club Dub)' is out today on 17 Steps. We made an alternate version to better fit the vibe of our DJ sets compared to the original, deeper mix. We’ve always loved the way classic house records often had a few versions of a track on a release, and in homage to that we thought the original of Keep On deserved a re-work.

As you were. Keep On ❤️
