Liquid Stranger - Cryogenic Encounters (album stream)

liquid stranger re-surfaces with a new digital only album, cryogenic encounters, out Jan 5th, 2012. never one to repeat himself and always up for a creative challenge, the stranger brings us a fresh and distinctly analogue sound. some aficionados may see a link to the early days of laid-back and chilled out IDM, others may just hear brilliantly produced and finely detailed dreamy electronic music.



this album of deeper tunes has given the stranger the freedom of long introductions, gentle builds and vast atmospheres. some of the modular patches are particularly epic - there's some classic dual TB303 work - and it won't come as any surprise that here at interchill we really appreciate the stranger's formidable abilities in sound design, melody and arrangement. in this digital-only release, mastered by vincent villius [aka aes dana], all the right aural ingredients come together to make this sonic concoction something special to immerse oneself in over the quiet winter months.

for all the fans of liquid stranger's harder edge, you're encouraged to kick back and get into a mellower and more cinematic side to his musical persona. rest assured, he'll be dropping the bass later in the fall with the renegade crusade, the much anticipated follow up to the arcane terrain

--

traveling the uncharted terrains of sound, liquid stranger"s creative output spans a wide range of electronic music in all of its colours and shades. always pushing the sonic boundaries and merging genres, he consistently creates an ever-evolving blend of unique atmospheres and cutting edge grooves.

the liquid stranger has been working professionally with music since 1996 and has released over 50 titles under various pseudonyms in that time. he used to dj for breaks fm in london and has worked with numerous record labels including; dragonfly, botchit & scarper, six degrees, hope recordings, ministry of sound, spirit zone, muti music, rottun recordings and interchill.

with 4 highly acclaimed full-length albums under his liquid stranger moniker, this multi-talented producer has established himself as the epitome of trans-national dubstep, covering everything from latin, asian, eastern european and jamaican dancehall dubs. his first two albums, the invisible conquest and the intergalactic slapstick (interchill 2007 & 2009), generated a substantial buzz with djs and listeners alike while his next two albums, the private riot and mechanoid meltdown (rottun recordings 2010) made a firm imprint in the dubstep community worldwide, topping the download charts for over a month. with several additional remixes bearing his signature touch, the liquid stranger sound is in high demand as it continues to reach increasingly wider audiences.

performing live, the stranger has a passion for the unexpected and hits the stage with a stash bag full of devastating dance-floor monsters. using custom built analogue gear to remix his tunes in real-time, he delivers an energetic and infectious performance unique to every show. major gigs to date include such world renowned festivals like; voov experience, boom festival, roskilde, samothraki, vortex and club boom to name a few.

2011 sees him with 2 forthcoming albums on interchill. the first, the arcane terrain will be released on may 31st. with the renegade crusade - an album of hard hitting material reminiscent of the liquid stranger live shows - to follow in september.
