object blue x tsvi: hyperaesthesia

Following a stellar run of recent releases including best-of-year EPs from the likes of DJ Plead and DJ JM, Nervous Horizon are back with their first record of 2020m a unique new collaborative EP by object blue and label co-head, TSVI. Hyperaesthesia EP details four sweltering new club tracks -- described by the pair as "body music" -- that mesh together object blue's widescreen, experimental club tones and TSVI's borderless percussive styles. "I was curious to see how TSVI and I could merge our sounds, whether we could supplement each other without eclipsing one another, and I'm so happy with the result," explains object blue. "I never thought I could write with somebody else but this happened so easily. It's been a liberating process, just a pure pursuit of fun, yelling in our chairs when we dropped the beat." Inspired by "ever-present conversations about machines and sentience", the EP's mechanical crux plays out in the narrative of the tracks too; from a sense of machines "waking up" on near eight-minute opener "Thought Experiment" to the frantic, processing energy of "Turing Machine". The record also comes complete with a special remix by Loraine James and vinyl-only bonus track, "Syntax". Hyperaesthesia EP follows a fruitful 12 months for both object blue and TSVI: Following the release of her breakthrough debut EP, Do You Plan To End A Siege?, for Tobago Tracks back in 2018, object blue has since become one of dance music's most crucial new artists.
