about

Signs of Space frontmen Long Island Sound are next in line to grace the ranks of Oath with their latest body of work, an immersive and dynamic exploration of genre-blending electronic dance nuances. The duo, championed by Boiler Room, AVA and HÖR Berlin, delves into a deluge of ethereal energy across four absorbing dancefloor-ready records that make up their ‘Fracture’ EP.

Due for single release on 9th Feb ahead of the EP's full launch, the opening track ‘Flare’ brings together shuffled two-step grooves, celestial vocal accents, and retro analogue synths to carve out an empyrean number with cosmic nuances throughout. ‘Your Love’ comes next, showcasing more of the duo’s innate ability to seamlessly weave intricate harmonic progressions with a gritty edge accompanied by cinematic-level soundscapes, poignant vocal injections, and a solid breakbeat foundation.

“Our new EP, Fracture, is an exploration of darker spaces and emotions. We spent a lot of time experimenting with vocals, synths, and reverbs, aiming to create intense and resonating moments for both big and small environments.”

Title cut ‘Fracture’ is nothing short of dark and enigmatic with its jungle-inspired rhythms, eerily pitched sampling, and glitchy modulations, in places replicating something between a crack in the time-space continuum and narcotically-altered state of consciousness. ‘Photos’ rounds off the EP with shuddering beats, deep, resonant bass tones, and another masterful display of sweeping analog sci-fi sonics throughout - perfectly encapsulating the mood and stylistic vision of the entire release.

Following the release of Long Island Sound’s captivating ‘Fracture’ EP in January, two of the standout tracks from the release have been reimagined by two of Europe’s most distinctive electronic talents.
Keeping the essence of the Dublin duo’s originals alive whilst injecting their sonic signatures is no small feat. Yet, London’s Otik and Berlin-based Spray have more than risen to the occasion. The first of two remixes to be released is Otik’s requiem-esque take on ‘Flare’. It easily captures you in its wake. Playing on huge, reverberated spaces for vocal elements to drift off into a potent core of sophisticated drum and bass grooves, sweeping sub-bass and dreamy arps, it’s a literal cenote of modern-day underground electronic artistry.

Offering dynamic contrast from Otik’s remix, Spray’s spin on ‘Fracture’ reeks of nostalgic big beat and Balearic trance energy throughout. An addictive blend of two seminal dance genres brought to life with a refreshingly current facelift, its chorus of bouncy organs, rave like arp and pacey Eurodance rhythms are endlessly danceable - and then some!

about

Oath İstanbul, Turkey

Unified.

You come to a halt, with the concrete forest forming on the horizon. Home, as you once knew it, but this is an empty husk with all you know now.

Through the myths and people you’ve met across your adventure, you know this place is forever a hollow reminder of what could have been. Men fulfilled by greed and desire to conquer the world live in these ivory towers. ... more
