Liquid Drum & Bass - Night Sky

(Edited)


Night Sky

If it's deep liquid drum & bass you're after today then I'd like to offer up my services with this track I made as part of the Travel Diaries EP called Night Sky. This one was the final track of that EP which was my final reflection on what was a truly epic trip in 2019 when I was lucky enough to go travelling around Australia & New Zealand. Hard to imagine that it's nearly been 2 years already since I first jetted off around the world - how this pale blue dot has changed in that time...

On my travels, there was a two week period in New Zealand when I was on my own, driving around in a hire car up and down the North & South Island but the inspiration for Night Sky came as I was driving down what is known as the "Starlight Highway" on the South Island. It really lives up to its name - there's really no light pollution at all here and you can see the stars light up the night sky in a spectacular display of dazzling balls of gas burning bright from millions of kilometres away. Here's the tune:

Inspiration

The bassline in this track draws inspiration from one of my favourite liquid drum & bass tracks by High Contrast called Make It Tonight. Now that is a nostalgic trip listening in to this one - it was released in 2002 and I'm going to have to feature this in a future drum & bass mix later in the year. Obviously, the producers at Hospital Records are some of my absolute heroes in the DnB scene with the likes of High Contrast, Logistics, London Elektricity, Cyantific, Danny Byrd, Nu:Tone, Matrix & Futurebound to name a few! Ah, can't wait for nightclubs and drum & bass events to open up again! How about you?

Release Info

Night Sky was released on 27th March 2020 on Electronic Alliance Records - you can download it here. It's also available on Spotify and Apple Music should you wish to add it to your playlist!

What's been your favourite night out raving? Or can't you remember as you were under the influence (of the music of course...)? Let me know in the comments below!

Enjoy the track

Nicky

Two weeks in New Zealand? Must have been great experience.

Here the light pollution is pretty high, I miss to see a deep black sky and the stars. Must be also the fact that in Spain even at 22:00 during the summer it is not any dark..

4:1 for you...

Oh yeah it was an amazing experience and I would have loved to have spent more time out there but the money and visa ran out! Maybe I can go back out there again in the next few 😁

Yeah you need long nights and clean air so if you can get to the countryside, you will see a special show in the sky 😀

Is it only 4? I have work to do!

Next few... years? :-)

I know. Just countryside can help and night. Last summer there was less tourism (pretty close to zero) so bars, restaurants, shiny places were closed...then I went in the night to the beach with a blanket to lay on and watched the stars. 🌠🌠
Also, the humidity of the air above the sea makes sometimes impossible to see a clear night sky with stars.

Is it only 4? I have work to do!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hahaha

I totally forgot to say the time frame but sure, let's go for years 😀

That sounds like a nice way to spend the evening though, even if you can't always see the stars ✨

its funny i ended up listening to lots of your stuff on sound cloud after this... it was nice and the idea of it bringing together travel as well made me think alot...spent a mont in NZ in a camper van once it was magic! I also have spent alot of time in India studying southy indian classical music... the idea of travel and music appeals to me!

Yeah man, I'm going to get back to blogging about music and travel again - in fact, the Travel Diaries EP was pretty much my audio journal for that travel adventure in 2019. Where did you go when you went to NZ - that sounds like a really cool way to get around. We can pick up a lot of inspiration from where we visit! I've not been to India, that sounds like it was a cool adventure too!

I loved the south Island mate! Could easily have stayed out there for so much longer. Love a bit of hiking! Are you going to be back there next year? What's the situation with that?

I heard crypto is banned in India so don't be getting too involved in any crypto antics when you're out there!
