10 years ago, Power Station started in Melbourne, Australia as a weekly Saturday club night that turned into a label releasing music from the residents and friends of the party. Since the pandemic, we have been quietly re-constructing the plant due to the heavy impact of the effects of covid but are ecstatic to announce we are ready to fire up all the cylinders in the station again, this time with clean renewable fusion energy and new music.
To re-boot, we invite Kris Baha back to the station with a dance floor summer ready EP, “Breathe” which almost feels like the next progression after his last solo EP on the label all those years back in 2016 with ‘Mind Your Head’. ‘Breathe’ is a hazy reimagining of the mid 90’s/ early 2000’s y2k dance era while all still retaining Kris’s signature muscle baselines, textural ear candy, laced in euphoric synth lines. Channeling the era, in the lens of now’ using techno kicks, prog trance / 90’s synth lines and EBM influenced bass and sequences, for any fans of 90’s PVC trench coats and speed shades.
‘Mescalin Dreams’ Anyone that has followed the white rabbit knows of mirrored realities, so Kris takes a Techno approach to prog trance while still retaining his classic EBM influenced bass line. “Mescalin, the only way to fly”
‘Breathe’, the name’s sake EP is about taking a moment to breathe, deep, into yourself especially in this climate. Hi pitched vocal samples run throughout the track that symbolize the madness of the inner dialogue being juxtaposed on to the mantra, 'Breathe, Breathe, Breathe with me" - all fueled by the hyper bombardment of social media, grabbing, holding your attention....you just need a moment to breathe to find yourself.
‘Grains of Time’ is a euphoric summer hitter, a reminder of all the early morning closing moments on the dance floor, lost in ecstasy, lost to the dance floor, lost in the moment and it whispers, ‘your soul is mine’
‘Bite Me’, is a hi bpm techno trance shell, found in the station years back but re-calibrated with a Chemical Brothers style ebm sequence, bitten by techno vampires.
