Convextion

Convextion, with hindsight, marks the end of a certain golden era of electronic music. Made from the ground-up with synths, drum machines and FX in the old skool way, it now feels like an elegy for a bygone spirit that has become lost in translation by waves of producers and DJs who arguably threw this sort of baby out with the bathwater in subsequent years. Tuff but tender, synthetic but intuitively human, trance-y but definitely techno; it flows with a breathtaking quality that the artist themselves term “emotional punishment”, and rarely fails to fire on empathetic nerves, especially those sweetened by MDMA.
