about

Live streamed from the White Pillar Workshop to the members of the Milieu Music Fan Club on May 13, 2018, APPLEBLUE DRAM is the newest Halifaxian live set to be properly mastered and given a physical format release. Completely improvised using only hardware (no computers involved, no overdubs and no post-production editing), Appleblue is a heavy mid-tempo lurch that brings to mind the ultra-low basslines of the recent Vibrafoam set and combines them with the cloudy smeared hip hop of the Grey Shape album.

Having previously been away from the studio for weeks with a flu, I returned to the faders with a renewed sense of purpose, and maybe a little aggressiveness too. This set begins and ends with a romping elephant stampede of rhythm and bass, but in between those bookended moments are surprisingly light and melodic passages of playful ambient techno, reverb-soaked dub stabs and effervescent pad passages. I'm particularly excited to release this set properly, as the original live stream had some volume dropouts and clipping errors. This set left me feeling invigorated and excited to be back in the studio, and hopefully that translates through these colorful and potent blasts of sound!

**NOTE: The digital download of this release contains a bonus "continuous mix" of the original liveset, unbroken and unedited, for your listening convenience.
