Cabin Becomes Studio for Dance Music Alchemy
22 Oct
Summary
- Duo Eris Drew and Octo Octa created an album in their NH cabin.
- The record is a sample-heavy tribute to '90s big beat dance music.
- It merges psychedelic folk instruments, synths, and vintage dance samples.
In their rural New Hampshire cabin, Eris Drew and Octo Octa have crafted their collaborative debut album, 'Alchemical Sisters.' This LP serves as a maximalist tribute to the dance music of yesteryear, particularly the '90s big beat era.
The couple transformed their cabin into a studio, utilizing psychedelic folk instruments, synths, and an extensive archive of vintage dance music samples. This approach blends their unique DJing style with original productions, creating a sound that echoes the vibrant energy of artists like The Prodigy and Fatboy Slim.
The album is characterized by its rich, hi-def audio quality, achieved through mixing by Detroit DJ and producer BMG. This production enhances the vintage feel, making the electronica sound as forward-thinking as mid-'90s music once did.
'Alchemical Sisters' explores themes of nostalgia and innovation, with tracks like 'Song for New Hampshire' offering a personal and heartfelt conclusion. The album reflects Drew and Bouldry-Morrison's journey and their impact on the global dance music scene.
