Following a landmark debut year in 2020, which saw releases on Ear Porn Music, Dead Groovy Deep and Keep Thinking Music, as well as winning the 2020 Beatport Producer Competition, 1MRN starts 2021 with a bang, releasing his second artist EP, this time on Keep Thinking Music. Out on 15.03.2021, this two-track EP illustrates the emergence of his signature sound, combining Afro House, Deep House, Progressive House and contemporary Melodic Techno.
The A-Side “Conrad I”, is a hypnotic, genre-bending, groove-laden piece, which has received early support on BBC Radio. The track is dominated by an addictive marimba that you wish continued forever. Tribal percussions are supported by uncontrolled plucks and stabs, floating organic elements and melancholic chords, all which serve to make this a dance-floor-ready, eyes-closed, hands-in-the-air record.
The B-side “Before Our Time” is a dark melodic techno piece, showcasing 1MRN’s broodier musical side. “Before Our Time” presents the listener with large synths, arpeggios, trippy sounds, a unique attitude and a memorable bass riff that makes this a guaranteed favourite in any melodic techno DJ’s crate.
Release Date: March 15th, 2021.
