Brand new UK artist id drops fierce debut EP, ‘Re Eater’, on his new label The Bubble. The four cuts collide analogue house, acid, and real warehouse-ready grit.
id – as in ego, and superego – is a South Coast-based artist who produces in his rural studio. His aim is not to pander to the zeitgeist, but to explore his own timeless mix of authentic, Detroit-infused acid, house, and techno. His music seeks to do away with traditional genre boundaries and challenge dancers, moving them on both physical and emotional levels.
It will come initially on The Bubble, which will later grow into a multi-artist platform as id himself continues to develop his synth-based live show. ‘Re Eater’ is a bold statement of intent from the off: warped acid lines worm their way through stripped back drums and a throbbing low end while kinetic percussion amps up the energy. Moody pads keep things unsettling and perfect for a strobe-lit warehouse. Just as darkly and deeply absorbing is ‘The Boy Who Refused To Grow Up’ , a mysterious acid house jacker that is always evolving. Nothing is fixed to the grid as a male vocal questions who and what we are to bring a psyched-out edge.
There is a sense of hope in ‘Sky High’ with its big Motor City piano stabs, though the searing acid remains and lashes between the dusty drums next to a cooing female vocal. It’s a peak time release with a menacing soul. Closer ‘Independent Thought’ is another mental trip with paranoid vocals lurking in the shadows. Amid bleeping synth sequences, prying leads lure you in as acid-laced drums build constant pressure.
We are presenting ‘Sky High’.
‘Re Eater’ EP will be available after November 28th HERE.
