Descriptions:
From the ashes of past incarnations, a new era sparks to life – wired, alive, and pulsing with transmissions. Kris Baha returns with Livewire, a 3-track EP that marks the beginning of his next evolution: a collision of late 90s tribal-psy trance, techno breaks, and progressive grooves, romancing the chaos and dust of a Spiral Tribe doof.
The title track Livewire is the sound of shedding skin. Starting off like some lost crystal method cut, Kris sings ‘Flowers of Steel & Crystal’ – the first metaphor of this alternate reality which quickly mutates to a shape-shifting journey that moves like a multi-dimensional rave dream. Echoes of the inner self reminding you to keep listening to the voice within, re-amplified by the main dusty lead before the final liquid psy bassline slips in and warps us through to the other side. Somewhere in the static, a voice remains: “There’s a livewire through you.”
‘Livewire” channels the wired chaos of the 90’s era artists such as The Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Underworld, Lunatic Calm, Crystal Method, and the ghost of the Hackers OST reimagined for now.
This isn’t a throwback – it’s a return, to feeling everything at once and we’re excited to roll out the sonic rebirth of Kris Baha.
