about

Gimme A Break delve into new sonic territories through the first release on their sub-label Aspect, an outlet for Electro, Prog House, Trance and Techno. ASPCT001 sees Berlin-based LUZ1E navigate mental health and healing at the sonic intersection of Detroit, Chicago, New York and the UK. With previous releases on Voitax, International Chrome and Mechatronica, LUZ1E’s “Cerulean” EP cements her place as a pioneer of Electro retrofuturism.

“Cerulean” takes its inspiration from the very hue that has ingrained itself as one of the symbolic images of LUZ1E’s work – a particular nuance of blue. It emanates a synchrony of sentiments: clarity, optimism, and calm, juxtaposed against the backdrop of detachment and despair that accompanied the artist throughout the past year.

Manifested in a dichotomy, the Ultramarine A-Side delves into the labyrinth of one's own mental health. It casts a luminescence upon a profound struggle marked by inner discord, turmoil, and the swift currents of overwhelm and emotional detachment. The tracks' fast pace and sombre energy pick up on this, translating phases of introspection and intense inner conflict into a sonorous narrative.

The Cerulean B-Side breathes the ambiance of a crystalline winter day, bathed in ease and tranquillity, constructing a bridge to an inward journey where in a quiet and soft space healing can take place. The tracks, suffused with both hope and melancholy, radiate a sense of peace, calm, and lucidity, contrasting the tumultuous phases of ebb and flow and the sensation of feeling lost. What persists is a mere feeling of peace with the perpetual motion of life itself.
