Ghost Notes by Dual Monitor

London-based duo Dual Monitor serve up their signature multi-genre magic on Nerve Collect this November. The Ghost Notes EP is a five-track exploration of mood and tempo that ranges from futuristic ambient to pounding techno via minimalist club.

Fliss Mayo & Zebb Dempster are Dual Monitor, or ‘The UK Genre Alchemists’ as they are called by those in the know. The pair have found great success in bolting together myriad different rhythms from the worlds of bass, techno and sound system culture with everything from dembow to dub and jungle. It has come on plenty of forward-thinking labels with support from heavyweights like Ben UFO, Lee Gamble and Nerve Collect founders Identified Patient and Gamma Intel, which is why they have signed them up for this label debut.

Opener ‘Chamber 4’ unfolds as a slow, snaking dub cut, with well-treated vocals hinting at cyborg romance. Twinkling melodies and whimsical pads create a world where movement and emotion stay in perfect balance. ‘Six Steps’ taps into UK bass culture, its lurching drums and oceanic swells rippling beneath glistening metallic tones, woody hits, and ragga-tinged vocals bathed in reverb. There is a hyperactive feel to the busy percussion and low-end oscillations of 'Earth And Ground' as another big, bold dub rhythm rises and falls with purpose. There are mystic and organic Eastern melodies drifting behind more AI-like, hyper-real melodic sequences that shimmer with a celestial glow. 'On Daze' is bold, lumpy dembow with meticulously layered whistles, hits and drums bridging ancient ritual and futuristic rave. Last but not least is the pixel-perfect 'Initiate-Replace', a skeletal post-dubstep rhythm that fills the stereo field with intricate sound designs which never lose momentum, and neither will you.

The Ghost Notes EP confirms Dual Monitor's place at the forefront of UK electronic music. It's a fearless fusion of rhythm, texture and emotion that defies categorisation yet feels unmistakably their own.
