PANELIA OBEY THE MACHINE
New Dehli producer Jay Pei has revealed his new project, PANELIA, and dropped the fantastic single, ‘Obey The Machine’. “I became predictable and formulaic, merely replicating what worked, echoing a phase of conformity,” Jay reflects, on the creation of his new musical project. It’s a left-field endeavour, defined by its inability to be pigeon-holed. It’s a dark, brooding track that allows sinister, electronic textures to unfold and develop alongside a tapestry of interwoven beats that take influence from jungle, breakbeat and electronica. It’s only a three-minute cut, but in that time, we are taken on a truly cinematic journey. Keep an eye out for his debut album, Nothing And All At Once, which is due for release on November 29th, 2024. -Dan Peeke
