PREMIERE: Lord Of The Isles - Venus Flux [Far Blue]
Having followed the Dutch platform since their inception years ago, it brings me great joy to have the opportunity to write about their forays into the world of label running. It's not an easy feat to go from a mix series to cross that boundary but true to form, and a testament to their utmost attention to detail and curational skills, the young masterminds behind have continued to execute flawlessly. With releases from Hame, Orion, and now Lord of the Isles, the level of artistry speaks for itself and reflects their general motivation.
Striking his first release of 2026, Scottish legend Lord of the Isles brings forth a four tracker encompassing all that we love. Melancholic riffs, warm melodies, and rounded percussion that seem to melt altogether for the perfect combination. One that should and will thrive under the auspices of Far Blue, a great match.
Venus Flux, the title track of the EP caps off the release like a much needed exhale. The gliding melody gives a sense of calmness, and introspection, the breakish beats asking for just that bit more of energy at the end of the night. A phenomenal closing track if you will.
Venus Flux, will be released on May 22nd.
