EP2 by HEDO HYDR8

“We wanted to make club music that liberates itself from hierarchies and conventions in order to liberate the body — freeing its pent-up emotions.”

Copenhagen-native Hedo Hydr8 releases EP2, a 4-track EP with 3 remixes, that elaborates on their signature high-energy sound heard on HYYDDDRR8, released earlier this year via ANBA.

Hedo Hydr8 describes the EP, packed with grungy rave aesthetics and catchy hooks, as ‘body music to release your pent up energy’. The work revisits old-school rave sound design blended with the artist’s trademark high-tech sound.

Listeners can also look forward to three remixes by Madrid-based wunderkind Merca Bae, fellow Copenhagener Deb Foam and kuduro experimentalist SN Systema.

EP2’s mesmerising cover art, a piece created for the affected called ‘Crinoid Scanner’, was made by local 3D artist Caroline Vang. The work is inspired by the alien yet familiar look of crinoid fossils. Finding her inspiration in the most alien and quirky parts of nature, Vang specializes in an experimental and surreal play of texture and shape, to challenge the line between fiction and hyper-reality.
