Lux & Hermetics, longtime friends who share a love of intertwining philosophy, psychology, and spirituality into their work, have released their latest EP, ‘Aurora’. The EP, recorded in Buenos Aires last year, comprises three tracks that meander through warm, Balearic notes, Latin infusions, and reflective affairs through both soft and more driving crescendos and arpeggiations. The EP has an underlying sense of wonder, mystery, and sanctitude that is bound to take listeners on an unforgettable journey.
During an interview with Mixmag, Hermetics explained how the project evolved, saying that when they started working on ‘Aurora,’ they had no idea that it would be dance-oriented, much less with garage and house nuances. They thought they were going to create something similar to their first EP, which is more Downtempo and introspective. However, as soon as they added a 4×4 kick, it felt natural, and they discovered a whole universe of textures that, instead of moving away from the emotion of their first EP, approached it from a different perspective.
Lux added that their aim in crafting the EP was to delve into uncharted territories of composition, shedding the constraints of convention to embrace intuition and passion. They believe that the true essence of music lies not in control, but in surrender. Collaborating on their music in a space of comfort, they can harness the raw creativity born from the fusion of their individual worlds, fearlessly pushing boundaries.
‘Aurora EP’ by Lux and Hermetics is now available. The release showcases the duo’s most dancefloor-oriented aspect, proving that Lux & Hermetics is a project destined to mutate with each release. Among the highlights of this EP are its rich sonic landscapes, ethereal atmospheres, and evocative textures that stir subtle emotions, awaken dormant memories, and weave a tapestry of nostalgia that’s reminiscent of cherished ruins where time stands still and the soul finds solace in the present.
