The second release for Sounds of Lava Lava comes from one of New Zealand’s most hotly tipped producers; Aroha. As a DJ she has carved a name for herself with her club-ready sets spanning House, Techno, Jungle, Post-Dubstep, and UK Bass. Her debut EP in late 2020 No More Jenga received worldwide acclaim and her new single Escape To Eora Country (Under a Blood Flower Moon) is another powerful club-focussed single.
Written during the lockdown in Melbourne, Escape To Eora Country opens up with an ambient soundscape and moving bassline which, when cut with the sirens, gives you a sense of escaping to a bustling city in the early hours of the morning. Airy pads lead through to a breakdown where Aroha’s vocals draw you further into this hypnotic groove before a euphoric drop. Every element of this track combines to form a mesmerising peak-time dance floor cut with a rare sense of depth.
Remixing Escape To Eora Country is one-half of Glasgow’s iconic Lezzer Quest duo Anna Gram. Her 2021 production debut on Hammer received critical acclaim and her second release last month via Permanent Vacation leaves few in doubt she is one to watch for 2022.
Anna’s take on the main hook alongside a thumping kick immediately draws you into her remix. Aroha’s stripped-back vocals lead beautifully into a rolling bass and layered arpeggiated synths. An undisputed banger with a real burst of 90’s rave energy.
