Steve Moore & Bluetech - Liminal Migration (2021) [Hi-Res]

Behind The Sky is proud to present our 15th release which is a collaboration between Steve Moore (Zombi, Lovelock) and label head Bluetech. This is the first release for our Ovoid Crafts sublabel, a showcase for forward thinking dance oriented releases and an opportunity to pay homage to retro sci-fi in all it’s cheesy glory. Featuring sequential covers that reference 70s and 80s pulp novel covers in collaboration with different concept artists, Ovoid Crafts celebrates the more kinetic side of analog synth music which is the foundation of Behind The Sky’s oeuvre.

Bluetech originally approached Steve Moore to contribute to an upcoming Behind The Sky compilation and discovered that the tracks were stylistically resonant with the album he was working on to launch Ovoid Crafts. First exploring a remix trade, the two producers realized there was a narrative thread forming and extended the collaboration to some new originals and Liminal Migration came into being.

Over the 7 tracks on Liminal Migration, a wide array of analog and modular synths and drum machines were used and abused including the Prophet 5 / 6, Moog Minotaur, Roland CR-78 and 808, MacBeth Elements, Arp 2600, Buchla and Moog modular systems, SCI Drumtracks, Korg Polysix. Exploring the middle ground between synthwave, house, techno and electro, Moore + Bluetech create a warm and melodic take on retro inspired dance music featuring trademarks of both the producers' sounds.
