BYRON THE AQUARIUS FALLENQUAS

A keys player by trade, Byron the Aquarius' love for melody and harmony is a golden thread in his musical productions. The American producer released his debut album Astral Traveling on Mutual Intentions back in 2019, and he has been churning out quality soulful electronics ever since, including Ambrosia LP on Jeff Mills’ label Axis Records, The New Beginning LP on the UK label Shall Not Fade. Last saw the release of Shroomz, Guns And Roses and the mellow Akira EP. Never leaving too long without out a release, Byron has unleashed his newest record, Black Man Of The Echo Tree. The song that grabbed our attention is the first track, 'Fallenquas', beginning with a wavering synth pad and ethereal keys line, giving it a flavour of Detroit deep house. The bass lays the foundation for a sunlit groove, with the aid of an 808-sounding drum machine, all of which help form a classic, uplifting and dance-worthy track. Let the sunny groove of 'Fallenquas' radiate your ears. -Ellie Rose-Davies
