Welcoming London-based Moray to TSBU for their debut release, the ‘Celestial Drift’ EP. Three emotive and sophisticated tracks find a home on the label, and offer a glimpse into this prolific producer’s world.
Craig’s Dusty Brain is a deep and expansive journey; the mesmerising chorus drone repeatedly sucks in the listener and flings them out again. Atmospheric yet driving, this opening track wouldn’t feel out of place in the back catalogue of Simon Huxtable and Andy Pitman’s Deep Space Recordings.
A more playful mood transpires in First Contact — the twinkling, alien-like call and response of the main synth line create a sense of curiosity and carefree.
Reef Energy is the third and final piece in the trilogy. Its glittering atmospheres, 90s-inspired vocal and lead melodies which dance along freely culminate in making this perfect for the most euphoric dancefloor moments.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Phantom Power, Safar and Avarice, and labels such as the UK’s Crib Records and Australia’s Thunk Records, Moray simultaneously speaks the language of mid-late 90s progressive house and trance, and creates an energising perspective on the current progressive movement.
