Maisie By The Sea vinyl

There's a lot of Maisie By The Sea that sounds like you're floating through uncharted waters, or perhaps outer space. The artist, who has regularly graced institution-sized dance imprints like Tectonic, Kaizen, and Hyperdub, has an uncanny ability to create deep but immediate tunes, tracks that give instant impact but then proceed to expand, develop, and progress into layered and complex masterpieces.

Take 'Working Title', for example - a broken, trance-tipped slice of progressive something, percussion rattling atop twinkling synths that wouldn't sound out of place on Sasha's Airdrawndagger. Or the dramatic sci-fi odyssey 'Sirens', which uses the sparseness almost audible behind its soaring vocal refrains and thunderous but occasional percussion in truly powerful ways, developing an atmosphere most producers can only really ever hope to achieve.
