Infinity (feat. Ylva Grönlund)

Having previously caught the ear of tastemakers such as Mary Anne Hobbs, Overmono, Ben UFO, James Holden & Mixmag, Nottingham-born / London-based producer Son of Philip has been turning heads with his atmospheric and emotive tracks since 2021. An accomplished musician with a varied palette, his previous outings on labels such as Wigflex and Fever AM (run by Mor Elian and Rhyw), as well as his own imprint Bliss Print, have seen his sound span from weighty 2-step bangers to beautifully constructed ambient techno tracks.

Son of Philip's latest offering 'Plastic Borough' via Nottingham's Running Circle Records, is a heady and engaging record. Hypnotic, grainy textures and analogue warmth cast a heavy cloak over a sea of shifting sonics beneath. Beautifully melding fragmented synths against swirling clouds of particles, twisting and contorted sounds permeate the haze in an alluring and intoxicating blend.

Complementing three of the EP's tracks (including the mesmerising first single 'Infinity') 'are the eerie and beautiful vocals of Swedish singer Ylva Grönlund. On their meeting, Tom explains: "I heard Ylva Grönlund's voice when we managed to persuade her to sing at a small gathering with friends and fell in love with her voice, so sent some recording equipment to Sweden for Ylva to record some vocal parts."

An elegant, transportative and beguiling listen, 'Plastic Borough' is a record that will captivate the listener and elevate mind states beyond the physical realm.
