Embark on a journey through the raw, experimental realms of drum and bass with producer Nate Mars’ latest EP, “In Time.” This EP is a masterful blend of classic drum and bass and rave influences, infused with a fresh, contemporary twist. Nate Mars skillfully captures the spirit of the genre while adding his unique touch.
In “In Time,” Mars stretches his creative limits by integrating song-like structures and infusing his own emotive vocals and poignant lyrics. Tracks such as the title track “In Time,” “Starting Over,” and “Collect Call From” showcase Mars’ versatility and his deep connection to music, reflecting his artistic evolution and dedication.
Remembering Nate Mars’ collaboration with Dia Luna on “Out of The City,” an acid house sensation that garnered over 56k global streams, is crucial. This acclaimed release, a favorite in the dance music community, demonstrated Mars’ ability to blend acid techno with a pop sensibility, creating sounds that resonate both on the dancefloor and in the hearts of listeners. Esteemed dance blogs like Dancing Astronaut and YourEDM have celebrated this release.
Central to much of Nate Mars’ music is the distinctive pulse of the TB-303, an iconic sound he skillfully intertwines with an array of analog hardware, looped vocals, and a persistent dark pop feel. “In Time” EP offers an enthralling experience, whether on the dancefloor or as a late-night drive soundtrack. Mars steps away from the 303 for this record, returning to his roots with chopped classic drum breaks and rave stabs, infused with classic ’90s piano riffs. His sound recalls legends like Moby, The Prodigy, Omni Trio, DJ Krust, and 4am Kru.
Nate Mars reflects on his journey and its influence on his music, noting significant losses in recent years that led him to ponder the passage of time and the interconnectedness of meaningful objects now separated. These contemplations were a driving force behind the creation of this record, imbuing it with depth and introspection.
