'On Rotation' will release 'Synthetic Serenity' on June 9th, 2023:
Adam Pits is releasing a new album. Out on June 9th, Synthetic Serenity is a futuristic collection of tracks spanning trance, techno, drum & bass and ambient. It's being released through On Rotation, a label he runs with fellow Leeds-based artists Chris I'Anson and Lisene. "Synthetic Serenity is a product of a big energy release," Pits said. "It's a testament to my acceptance of change in life and I believe it's a true sign of my sonic evolution." Synthetic Serenity is the follow-up to Pits's debut album, A Recurring Nature, in 2021. Since then, he's put out EPs on Craigie Knowes, Planet Euphorique and Viscera Transmissions.

Won't listen to the short previews at all, but nevertheless expect some good things from the album. Sleepless sounds very good!

Definitely overshadowed by Electronic Arts but still a great album! I feel like the first half especially flows so smoothly, the last few tunes I thought were a bit more abrupt and disjoint. Big step up from his first album, and I love the direction he's going. Pits is always two steps ahead of the rest of the nutrance scene IMO.

As a personal choice, not as rated as Reflex Blue's breaks album from this year, but fukin damn close. Adam delivered with this.

Very strong album. Electronic Arts is lots more fun to listen to, but this is a bit more serious and technical rather than free-flowing. Great productions, great synths. Take a Moment is by far one of the best tracks I've heard all year. TOTW!

mmmm, not crazy about it tbh, it feels abit "lounge-y" to me and the tunes are mostly background worthy. its like a throwback to ambient house,breaks,dub/dnb and early dubstep/bass music. nicely produced i guess, with nice bottom end but the tunes are really not that great or innovativ and lacks stronger arrangement/progression.

would give it a 6.5/10 overall. enjoyable but forgettable/underdeveloped

What is the track at 7.30 in the preview mix? reminds me of the style of Benz and Md. I liked Adam Pits - Cascade

yes, yes, your review is on point

what I appreciate the most is the fact that everybody can clearly hear that the producer is from the UK, the music is (obviously) influenced by it. Im not into stereotypes but I miss this element in todays music...

Cascade sounds like some super dope video game OST that I would play in the 00's. Love it. Delicate Procedure also super sick UK sounds. Never listened to Adam Pitts, will have more of a listen.
