Voltage - Balance Over Symmetry '2020

Tracks list

Undoubtedly one of the most exciting acts to have emerged in drum & bass over
the past decade, Voltage has joined forces with Hospital Records for the release
of his long-awaited studio album ‘Balance Over Symmetry’ which
marks the tenth year of his journey as a solo artist. No stranger to the
Hospital family with an album, 2 EPs and a handful of singles under his belt as
part of drum & bass powerhouse group Kings Of The Rollers, it’s now time
to explore the solo sounds of Voltage which have slowly but surely carved him to
be one of the most respected DJ & producers in the scene.

In his true rambunctious style, Voltage sets the swing with a wild card.
‘So Close’ is a sub-120BPM synthwave weapon which matches his
retro-inspired fashion to his musical vibrations. The combination of catchy
vocals, an 80s-esque bassline and an unforgettable topline melody sees the
creation of something extremely different yet irresistible from Voltage. Not
straying too far from the roots of his influences, ‘Natty Love’
features the groove inducing vocals of sound system legend Sweetie Irie.
Saturated sub wobbles juxtaposed with potent string plucks are intertwined with
ease, peppered with that signature Voltage flair.

Teaming up with reggae and dancehall superstar Demolition Man known for his
skill as a vocalist, producer, MC and sound engineer, ‘Life Of A
DJ’ combines the sounds of Demo’s with Voltage’s unmissable
sonic technique. ‘Save Me From Myself’ exposes the lighter side to
Voltage as he illustrates his versatility as an artist through a soul-heavy amen
roller with a classic liquid bassline.

Reminiscent of the days of euphoric hardcore, ‘Keep On Dancing’
sets the vibe with uplifting piano chops and adrenalised vocals as crunchy snaps
and rhythmic cymbals keep things moving beneath. An iconic duo to everyone who
knows their drum & bass, Voltage and Evil B come together for
‘Odyssey’ which sees ambient soundscapes and earnest lyrics on a
truly heartfelt piece of music.

With releases on foundational imprints such as Metalheadz, 31 Recordings, RAM,
Souped Up and Spearhead to name a few, Voltage’s discography speaks for
itself in laying down his years worth of experience within drum & bass. With
support for his productions coming from a wide range of influential selectors
including the likes of Andy C, Hype, Friction, Goldie, Bailey, Hazard and Bryan
Gee, it’s safe to say that 10 years of Voltage has been a remarkable
decade to say the least. Here’s to 10 more…
