First Wild Awake drop with C O N T X T
C O N T X T is an artist from Cornwall, UK. His productions blur the lines between Rave and Ambient. Twisting genres from Downtempo to Breakbeat and Future Garage, his intricate and dynamic tracks take you on a journey, touching both the dark and bright corners of one’s mind. He is very much inspired by nature and nostalgic memories when making music - comparing his music to an audible photo collection, each track is linked to a memory and a feeling of that point in time.
In his own words: music production
Speaking about the way he creates music C O N T X T told us:
“So another great way to start tracks is just going around random record stores. If they haven't got any turntables in there, I don't even listen to them. Just do a lucky dip of stuff that looks interesting, about five records, and then turn on my direct drive turntable, which plugs straight into Ableton, slice it up using Simpler and use push to sample from vinyl instantly. And that's another way to find those imperfect artefacts, stuff you wouldn't be able to get by playing an instrument in a typical manor. It's just like the stuff that can be seen as a mistake or something bad, and turning that into a focal point of a track.”
In his own words: why Wild Awake
C O N T X T is part of a collective in Cornwall called ESC and has never before been part of a scene primarily based on online interaction.
“I haven't really been a part of an online community before, which is why I'm so excited to be a part of Wild Awake, to push something I've never been a part of and I feel the experience I'm gaining with my collective in the physical world will feed into The world of web3 and vice versa.”
