As rich sonically as it is in social commentary, Marteka Fair’s latest techno EP ‘Life After Internet’ is a perfect fit for the budding discography of VAST Recordings.
Marteka Fair is from North Carolina, and the American DJ and producer is a key part of the local scene co-creating Liminal Space, a live concert series with visual artist Fluxxss that merges sound and image into a shared, sensory environment. She has not only appeared on club and festival line-ups alongside Rrose, Rødhåd, DVS1, and Bloody Mary, but also lists releases on Berlin’s W133, Infra, and Maison Fauna, while being behind the A&R for VAST Recordings’ releases.
The ‘Life After Internet’ EP consists of four tracks, ‘Lucid Thinking’, ‘Access Denied’, ‘Missed Call’, and ‘Frisson’, along with remixes of ‘Missed Call’ by Bekkler and ‘Frisson’ by JAK. It draws inspiration from a time when the information revolution lay at our fingertips, promising what seemed at the time like a utopian frontier of human connection.
Although more than three decades have passed since the advent of the Internet, mankind continues to grapple with its impacts on nearly every aspect of our day-to-day lives. Much in the same way, Marteka Fair’s ‘Life After Internet’ EP proves that there is uncharted territory left to explore in techno. After all this time, we’ve only scratched the surface.
We are presenting ‘Frisson’.
‘Life After Internet’ EP will be available after August 15th HERE.
