Subtronics has set the release date for his new EP, Fibonacci Part 1: Oblivion. At the close of his mainstage performance at Ultra Miami on Friday, the bass wizard announced that the project, which makes up one half of a new album, will arrive on his own Cyclops Recordings label on April 4, after he treated the Miami crowd to several of the EP’s new tracks, including a live performance of “Final Breath” featuring UK drum & bass star A Little Sound. Set to converge into a full album when Part 2 is released, the eight tracks featured on Fibonnaci Part 1: Oblivion are geared to connect with fans in Subtronics’ famously mind-bending live sets, while fans can look forward to an entirely different listening journey in Part 2, according to a press release. As a whole, the two-part album is said to continue the exploration of mathematical phenomena central to Subtronics’ first two albums, FRACTALS and TESSERACT. This time, however, he hones in on the Fibonacci sequence, an ever-expanding series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. This pattern has curiously been observed in many facets of nature, from the leaf arrangements of plants to the tight spiral of a chameleon’s tail. Expanding on the concept in a press release, Subtronics said, “Part 1 of the EP conveys that all of reality, in its complexity and grandeur, originates from the fundamental laws of the universe. It emphasizes the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio as intrinsic patterns that govern nature, not through divine intervention, but through physics. Building on themes of alternate dimensions and fractals, the Fibonacci spiral is presented as the foundational DNA of reality.” Watch the highlights from Subtronics’ Ultra performance below and pre-save the new EP here.
