Avant-garde saxophonist and producer Ben Vince announces his excellently-titled sixth album Street Druid with the enveloping '(Ride A) Wave'. Masterfully navigating percussive beats and menacing electronic elements, the constantly evolving epic feels much like its name sake, conjuring memories of one of the best adverts ever made (we're talking about Leftfield's 'Phat Planet' for Guinness). With the album set to arrive on the 20th of February via label of the moment AD 93, Vince describes it as: "A prelude for the future, hands join to cast a peace spell. Consciousness is vast water seeking divine essence and meaning where colours merge and refract. The street druid walks through the night, a benevolence in the darkness, guiding you home. Immersed in noise, life can feel empty, like hollow vessels, a sentient interlude. At times we are found in Gaia’s rhythm, kinetic and rebuilt, transcending through the impact of sound on the body. Every moment is a new change, a new challenge, a new life, we must ride the wave if we are not to be caught adrift or drown. Trying to keep hope intact, we must not retreat into fear, recognise we all live here in Longville and stop the fire before it engulfs us all."-Holly Mullineaux
