Live Review: Deadboy 'White Moon Garden'

UK producing prodigy DEADBOY releases 'White Moon Garden' as a precursor to his Local Action EP, White Magick.

UK producing prodigy DEADBOY releases 'White Moon Garden' as a precursor to his Local Action EP, White Magick.

Following the release of single 'It Did Not Feel Right', this South London grime god eases us into his 6 track EP with an explorative (and less club orientated) approach to music.

Dazzling and dynamic, 'White Moon Garden' is full of bright sounds and melodies that are distinctively different to previous Deadboy releases. Crystal clear in it's production, with wood nymph synths, forest-y wind pipes and head banging break-beats, these elements co-exist seamlessly within one uplifting track. Full of THAT many nuances and pops, it'll (somehow) meditate your brain and elevate your mood all at once.

Although we love him in all his gutter-grime glory, it's so exciting to see this young artist taking an experiemental turn towards his music.

"I wanted to make a record that was about enjoying the process and not trying to come up with a club-commodity or tool for djs." - Deadboy.

Said to be released on April 20th, 'White Magick' is promising to be an incredibly innovative and cohesive record, encapsulating all that we love about electronic music, from gut punching grime to animated dance-pop to head floating ambience.
