Track of the Moment

by Nicko Fier

Scottish producer, Kieran Apter continues to follow his reputation for taking the dance floor on a voyage with his upcoming release  “All I Want” EP,  featuring edits from Aera and Manuel Tur. The EP is set to release September 1, 2017, on Chapter 24 Records.

The five track ‘All I Want’ EP consists of two original productions and three different remixes; or as Chapter 24 calls them, “editions”. "All I Want" is an extraordinary track, featuring the vocals of talented Leon Power. It is then followed by "Elle", an arpeggio focused instrumental that showcases that same spiritual and mind twisting sound that is heard throughout the EP. 
The edits come nothing short of the original tracks. Berlin based Aera put his unique touch on “All I want” with a beautiful progressive synth sequence and chopped vocals to create a mysterious and vibrant sound. High hats keep the track moving and grooving, while a glitchy yet very inspiring build up takes you on an inner exploration of eerie emotions. 

Aera's amazing live sets at The BPM Festival, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), and his top notch production has granted him the ability to drop releases in some of the top record labels in the industry. His “Running Hot” EP which was released on Inversion in 2016 with great support from industry leaders, as well as an amazing two track EP in 2015 on Berlin-based record label Maeve, run by Mano Le Tough. Aera is no stranger to the FictionLab, as he performed in NYC at the Lossless showcase earlier in 2017 alongside SBTH, Joe Foxton, Steve Graham and Gilles Wasserman.
