The experimental bass music production duo SHADES share the gully and menacing, THE SAGA and announce their forthcoming debut album, IN PRAISE OF DARKNESS

Slated for release via Deadbeats Records this July, the highly anticipated LP is a 12-track epic of varying sounds and tempos. Intriguing and unrivaled in creativity and quality, ‘The Saga’ marks the first single taken from ‘In Praise of Darkness’. The release is a sonic indicator of what bass music has been missing and a strong taste of what’s to come from the project.

Representing both sides of the Atlantic, SHADES is the creative meeting of minds of two of electronic music’s most sought-after producers, Alix Perez (UK) and Eprom (USA). Since their inception 4 years ago, they have released 4 EP’s including the most recent Night of the Dreadless Angel (2017) in which they collaborated with fellow half-time pioneers Ivy lab and their self-titled debut Shades EP (Alpha Pup, 2015).

Their experimental production prowess and innate progressive attitude have led them to garner support from key tastemakers including FACT, XLR8R, and Mixmag, as well as artists from Noisia to Claude Von Stroke. To mark the release of the album, SHADES will embark on a worldwide headline tour beginning in North America this July.

Stay tuned for EU dates to be announced and further music teased from ‘In Praise of Darkness’.
