blue twenty-five: 2ndSun

Absolutely jacking cosmic techno. Hard, repetitive, sure - but also somehow verging on the psychedelic. A quality that so often in industrial techno gets lost in favour of all-out aural assault.

We should have released more of this kind of stuff. Like, a whole LABEL more of this stuff at least.

Listening back to it now there's lots of details I missed the first time, like the little Eskibeat/proto-grime synth sounds. It makes sense that Rinse FM - Tower Hamlets' pirate radio incubator of grime - loved 2ndSun.

Still have some tapes of this one available! Why not grab one?

Hey, this was a cool release. 

Psychedelic industrial-techno that's both hard and transcendent.

Outtake from the artwork sessions for blue twenty-five: 2ndSun

"‘As hard as cuts like ‘Shard’ and the electro-y ‘Velour’ go, there’s a becalming, sun-coming-up warmth to this music that makes 2ndSun more than welcome entrants into the bizarro-techno depths." - The Quietus

C40 + download The best psychedelic music is relentless, repetitious - a jackhammer to your third eye. It needs to keep your cortex pumping,...

"Totem Spire, which stacks up insistent arpeggios and a squealing-brakes synth riff, is like Robert Hood if he had to return all his gear in a few hours, and perhaps the highlight of this EP. As hard as cuts like Shard and the electro-y Velour go, there’s a becalming, sun-coming-up warmth to this music that makes 2ndSun more than welcome entrants into the bizarro-techno depths." - The Quietus

blue twenty-five: 2ndSun

In the top 2 danciest Blue Tapes releases ever (the other one is the Pour Le Plaisir 12"). 2ndSun's kinetic, sense-tingling techno is a dance for our astral as much as corporeal selves.

We should release more dancing-into-the-cosmos music. Still available on tape! You should probably get one. This shit is totemic.
