Neville is based in Brooklyn, New York, where he has established himself as one of the city’s most notable techno talents. His well-formed sound has come on labels like Unity Records, Addeepted, SLC-6, Black Line + more. And last year he remixed for Josh Wink on Ovum Recordings while also landing on Techno Brooklyn Records.
He runs the IMPULSE CØNTROL playlist on Spotify with 11k+ subscribers and is working on turning it into a label and party in 2023.
Everything from a neighbourhood bar in Brooklyn, to the location of one of his favourite parties in Berlin, to a grim piece of history in remote Kazakhstan – and the emotions and thoughts they bring up – has inspired these new tunes.
Says Ramsey, “When I sat down to write these tracks, my goal was to channel the same type of energy I love to experience when immersed in a night out; the type of energy that’s both dark and brooding, but relentlessly hypnotic, where you can get lost in the music for hours at a time without coming up for air. To me, it’s these moments that allow us to be fully free, and capturing a piece of that journey is what defines this EP.”
Opener Tradesman is a rolling techno cut with a booming bottom end. Sci-fi motifs peel off the groove next to a ripping synth lead that further heightens the trip before bright chords and a soulful vocal emerge from the darkness. The Polygon is again built on hefty drums with a dark sense of energy and watery melodies adding to the hypnotic feel. Uscita then warps the mind with molten synth lines all intertwining over a tunnelling techno bassline and Münze is classy techno funk with oversized hi-hats and mystic vocals pacing about the mix. This is a powerful new EP from the rising American techno Artist.
