On either side of the river Mersey, transcendental communications are traded back and forth. Two late-night revellers, one firing messages filled with music, the other returning them laced with lyrics. The result, a dopamine hit of \u003cstrong\u003eoddball machine soul\u003c\/strong\u003e, melded with a highlife, \u003cstrong\u003eAfrofuturist\u003c\/strong\u003e touch. Wonky and murky yet deeply emotional, \u003ci\u003eTransmission One\u003c\/i\u003e, is a debut album that also marks the first release on \u003cstrong\u003eLuke Una's \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE Soul Cultura\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e label, encompassing expertly the off-kilter atmosphere the label sets to orbit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA synthesised landscape with a Northern charm, Transmission Towers marry the musical worlds of two artists that last collaborated over a decade ago. 10 years have passed, lives have been led, but a gravitational pull has placed \u003cstrong\u003eMark Kyriacou and Eleanor Mante\u003c\/strong\u003e back in each other's spheres on opposite sides of the city of Liverpool. Energised with a newfound desire to strip it all back to the sounds that influenced their formative years in the late '80s and '90s - astral travelling, intoxicated on \u003cstrong\u003eMotor City techno, Black Dog IDM and mystical Sun Ra.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark half Irish, half Greek Cypriot, Eleanor half Nigerian, half Ghanian, the music contained within is an alchemy of those roots and the pivotal acts that buried deep into their minds. A cosmic contrast, part machine-made, part distinctly human. Take the opener 'UP', an \u003cstrong\u003eESG-channelling\u003c\/strong\u003e, sci-fi punk beatdown or the polychromatic hyperspace anthem 'Roller Skater 23'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransportive throughout, you ride the solar waves, pace and emotion ebbing and flowing. Tracks like 'Go Slow Heart' and 'Cosmic Trigger' step to a slower beat but hit with a punch. The former, a slo-mo blast of celestial tenderness, the latter an otherworldly, chugged-out lunar excursion, micro-dosing on whacked-out Wah Wah and Eleanor's ethereal vocals. Beaming love letters to space and back, 'Sparse' marries the organic with the artificial, pianos and percussion circling around synth pads and broadcasting bleeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, vibrations move faster. 'Mega' strikes, fusing sonic tribalism with psychedelic swirls, as 'Everything' sweeps you up in its \u003cstrong\u003eextra-terrestrial new wave grip\u003c\/strong\u003e. Synth stabs and basslines fizzing from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemos of Transmission Towers music surfaced on Luke Una's radar, making him stop in his tracks. Something magical was emerging, perfectly aligned with the E Soul guardian's tastes. Guidance followed, quickly turning into conversations about \u003ci\u003eTransmission One\u003c\/i\u003e becoming the first release on Luke's own label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEscapist and futurist yet grounded and relatable. \u003ci\u003eTransmission One\u003c\/i\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003esynthesis meets sentiment\u003c\/strong\u003e with a deep, spine-tingling soul at its core.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55136525877633,"sku":"2278497","price":22.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/7119691295114.jpg?v=1767212851","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2278497","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
