Manchester-based Aurora presents a 25-track compilation album featuring many familiar faces - a treasure trove for anyone drawn to fast and swampy sound explorations.
At the latest Omen Wapa gathering, someone coined the term scary music to describe this overarching swamp aesthetic. This VA embodies exactly that: fast, ominous, scary music, with notable contributions from Alessandro Baroncini and Innersha, aside from our premiere track, RBI’s Liquid Shadow, placed near the end of the compilation.
The Australian RBI has already proven herself a remarkably versatile artist. Her album Disseminate from 2023 showcased stunning productions such as It’s raining on the mandarin tree and Vault Ultra - pieces recalling the meticulous design of Objekt or the textured depth of Djrum. Swamp music meets left-field adventurousness, trips to acoustic explorations and psychedelic weirdness.
With Liquid Shadow, her contribution to Beta, she leans into a bass-heavy approach that stays in constant motion. A track that keeps you on your toes.
