Saoirse by DECADANCE (Parallx remix)

Since 2019, the Manchester based label, Moments in Time, has had many strong releases, showcasing their commitment to signing upcoming local talent, as well as those more established names. Our third release for the year is from talented Irish techno artist and Amsterdam based, DECADANCE, and it includes a remix from none other than Parralx!

The lead track, “Saoirse”, explores the duality of tribalism and conflict through three fast paced, percussively intense techno tracks. The track conceptually seeks to symbolise violence, emotion and peace. Beginning relatively peacefully yet characterised by a tense atmosphere, the intensity capitulates through violent drums before morbid synths set the emotional and melancholic tone.

“Ehyah” juxtaposes primitive, tribal percussion with the familiar sound of a viral, modern day trap vocal. The specific sound sampled, was taken from a track which DECADANCE discovered through Soundcloud’s algorithm, which automatically plays viral music every time an artist’s privated track finishes. Tribal rhythms have evolved from our inception and the emergence of AI and “the algorithm” has intercepted how we engage with what was once a pure and primitive experience of sound. Ehyah, represents this conflict. Whilst Parallx follows up with a stripped back remix masterpiece.

“Death of Connla”, confines within the EP’s concept of tribalism and conflict, yet remains simple in its execution. Made immediately after DECADANCE, briefly returning to his home in rural Ireland, the lead is taken from sampling the Celtic Carnyx. The track essentially imagines the tale of Cú Chulainn murdering his own son Connla in battle and seeks to befit the soundtrack to one of Ireland’s many mythological stories.
