Alan Fitzpatrick On Why His First Album In Over a Decade “Feels Like His Debut”
“Putting music out for the club, it feels like I can do that with my eyes closed,” mused Alan Fitzpatrick in an exclusive interview with EDM.com. “I do that so often—it’s natural for me.” Since his appearance in the techno scene more than a decade ago, Fitzpatrick has amassed an impressive canon of music, from smash hit “We Do What We Want” to a remix of Shannon’s 1983 electro-funk record, “Let The Music Play.” Just last year, the Brit released a whopping 24—yes, 24—original tracks, including two EPs with his under-the-radar electronica alias, 3STRANGE. But in 2019 Fitzpatrick decided it was time for him to try something new, stepping outside of his creative comfort zone to embark on his first album since 2010. And Machine Therapy, out now via Anjunadeep, was born. Complet...
Listen to NERO’s Remix of Founding Member Joseph Ray’s Collaboration With Lakou Mizik, “No Rival!”
When NERO remixed NERO in 2011, they won a Grammy… just saying. While the iconic trio have been rather quiet since dropping the bombshell that they’re working on their third album a few months ago, founding member Joseph Ray has been releasing music solo. This includes his critically acclaimed collaborative album Leave the Bones with Haiti’s Lakou Mizik. For those unfamiliar with the band, Lakou Mizik was founded after the catastrophic 2010 earthquake in Haiti with a goal to “show the world that their country was much more than the sum of headlines that were being shot around the globe.” Now, Ray’s fellow members have joined in and released their own remix of one of the album’s singles, the riveting “No Rival!.” While the original ...

Pierce Fulton’s Side Project, Leaving Laurel, Announces Debut Album Following Tragic Death
Last year, Botnek‘s Gordon Huntley joined forces with the late Pierce Fulton for a collaborative musical project called Leaving Laurel. Iconic dance music label Anjunadeep today released the duo’s new single “Winter In The Woods,” which the pair finished—along with a full album—just prior to Fulton’s tragic death. The wistful sound Fulton and Gordon have created as Leaving Laurel departs from what fans have come to expect from them individually. “Winter In The Woods” opens with a spellbinding ambiance as a melancholic piano guides listeners through spacey synths and subdued percussion. The feathery sound design lends to an organic feel, emulating what the pair must have felt while writing the track while isolated in the woods of Connecticut an...
