NIGHT manoeuvres – a brand new collaborative project that unites acclaimed DJ/producer ABSOLUTE., with synth polymath and multi-instrumentalist Dot Major – of the multi Platinum-selling band London Grammar.
Having been introduced by mutual friend and fellow producer DJ Boring, the two artists swiftly joined forces. What soon followed was a symbiotic fusion of the duo’s disparate skillsets that saw ABSOLUTE.’s boundary-pushing production and dancefloor expertise blended with Dot Major’s experienced multi-instrumentalism, experimentation and classical training.
A combination of light and dark, NIGHT manoeuvres weave together with textural soundscapes, euphoric pads and ethereal vocal hooks, deftly showcasing their shared love for analog production and UK underground sounds, spanning bass/dubstep, left-field techno and house.
Of the collaboration, NIGHT manoeuvres say:
“We knew the first time we met that our second meeting would be at the studio. What we didn’t know was the immediate trust and openness there, which would take us on a musical journey to a realm neither of us had discovered before. Worlds of light and dark came together to create the start of something we’d never imagined.”
The duo recently marked their arrival with their debut show at the British Museum in London – the first show of its kind to be held at the prestigious location, which will be followed by an in-store at Phonica Records on 19th June. August will see them playing their festival debut at Flow Festival in Helsinki, with more live dates to be announced.
‘Genesis’ the debut single by NIGHT manoeuvres is out 29th May via fabric Records. More music will follow very soon.
