The Atomik EP has emerged from the shadows, showcasing three powerful tracks that all pack a mighty punch. Each track has its own unique style, making it extremely difficult to choose a favorite.


Prodigal is my love letter to the big beat era, which in my opinion was led by legends The Prodigy, specifically Liam Howlett. The Prodigy sound was such a huge part of inspiring me to do what I do today, and I wanted that essence.


Feel Alive has other bits that corrupted my 90s mind. The synth riff summons Daft Punk vibes, while the repetitive vocal carries the groove over a very raw one. Synthwise, I shrugged off the overdone Unison saws and settled with a nice simple double detune like they did in the old days.


In A Day, was actually the first tune I finished for the EP. One day I was chatting with a friend and complaining about how I sometimes overthink productions
and techniques. He suggested challenging myself to do a whole track in one day and not overthink anything. And sure enough, In A Day was born.” – Sean shared

Feel Alive has its moments, vocals are super-catchy and that small melodic riff is cool. The other two tracks however are suitable for trash bin...

Feel Alive is rather catchy, but the other ones have too many flavours added in the same pot for my taste. One nice positive I can find at least for all three tracks is the mid 140 bpm, reminds me of how trance had a wider breadth back in the 90s
