On The Run

Arís (pronounced: ah-reesh) presents the first in a new series of 90’s/early 00’s Irish Dance reissues with ARIS01; 2 remastered tracks from Bumble’s 1992 EP ‘West In Motion’ b/w a new remix from Brame & Hamo to celebrate the release’s 30th anniversary.Nineties Ireland; a remote island slightly out of music-step with the rest of Europe, dominated still by the ‘guitar music’. Meanwhile, our neighbours across the pond had transitioned to synths, drum machines and ecstasy to forge a seminal movement in ‘Rave’ and proceeded to change music and club culture forever.Slowly but surely, this radical wave of P.L.U.R. made its way onto Ireland’s shores. While raves both legal and illegal gradually proliferated, there was a telling lack of Irish-made ‘Rave’ music soundtracking them. Availability of the necessary music equipment and studio space to do this was few and far between, meaning this practice was a fortunate novelty to only a few.

Melbourne’s very own Reflex Blue takes us on a five part journey through the terrain of his mind to bring in to reality the Twin Waters EP.Through this project Reflex’s unique fusion of deep, earthy sounds and other worldly aetherial textures, help us find the way back to a primal place, buried within us all.Digital and natural worlds come together in this project to work in harmony, coupled with a healthy dose of psychedelic accents, we are left in a mind altering state somewhere between transcendent euphoria and ecstat- ic dance... We hope you enjoy the ride.

Our exploration of Ballet Mechanique’s old DAT archives, stack full of unreleased material from the 90’s era, continues with our sixth release and materializes into the third volume of the “1992-1999 Collection” series. Like the previous two volumes of the series did, also this EP brings to lights the diverse and varied approach of Jeroen’s productions: an A side featuring more “ravey” and uplifting tunes, and a B side focused on funk fuelled electro and IDM.
