ORIGINAL ELECTRO MUSIC FrOM SUBSTAX
“When you've got urban soul founded in the heart of Aotearoa pumping right into your veins, stream of consciousness can be an amazing thing. And the hypnotising opening tracks of Electro Soul Plane by Substax provoked all manner of imagery.”
This virtual journey began where I found myself in an airport lounge watching the world fly by, then change of track and tact, and I'm an undercover agent in a console shoot 'em up. I'm then shot back to reality, where the song and scene transports me to a desolate street where I'm caught in a rainstorm, until I find solace in a nearby cafe....
Sounds bizarre, but Electro Soul Plane is one of those albums with the ability to awaken the mind's eye - whether it be on headphones at your desk, speakers of your car or cranked through a large PA- you're certainly not going to be switched off.
With its eclectic fusion of spacey synths, smooth vocals, funked-up 70's disco, and stylish sampling and overlays, you'll find something unique in each of the twelve tracks ranging from upbeat breaks to downtempo soul.
