“We have loved dancing to, listening to, playing and producing electronic music for years now. In the last 12 months or so, we have really enjoyed what has been taking place in the techno scene and this EP represents our journey through that scene.” so is born Hip Op EP by the duo JUNK.
Hip Op was started while Adam (a member of the duo) was in hospital and was finished about a week or so after being discharged. Representing his morphine inspired journey through the emotions; raw synths, chuggy baselines and trippy distractions layered throughout.
With Fallout, the artist wanted to create a crowd teaser and pleaser and he hope that people can feel this sentiment when hearing the track.
JUNK focus was on building the energy to create a eutrophic release, incorporating big driving kicks and some euphoric tension in the breakdown.
Laters is about driving forward and never looking back. The big kick drags you along with the track whilst the ride cymbals and hats are trying to slow you down.
This captures the tension of life’s changes and brings the energy to the track.
