Nebula Dance

Nebula Dance is quite different from Ital Tek's previous releases. Alan Myson is entering a new phase, of which last year's Gonga EP was the first step. The music here works at higher speeds than the Dubstep and hip hop tempos he has employed in the past, and explores more fully the dynamic tensions between space and detail, melody and atmospheric sound, than his previous releases. The twelve-track Nebula Dance assimilates influences of current music being made at the speeds between 140 to 160 BPM, reacting to developments in Dubstep, jungle and, more recently, footwork, yet retrains Ital Tek's instinct for deep and melodic music with an emphasis on dramatic drum work and impressionistic synthesizers with restrained precision.
