Sydney-based, classically-trained electronic music producer Royalston returns to Med School with his unique brand of glitchy tech drum+bass.

Title track “Cerulean Blue” sets the tone for the EP with tense, trembling synth tones and stern, smacking drums. “Bonesinger”’s beautifully enunciated beats, hissing SFX and thunderous bassline continue to weave the musical magic. “Mantequa” is a tougher incarnation whilst Royalston’s remix of “Japanese Bones” by experimental Australian pop duo MA, is a bold testament to his abilities as a remixer.

October 2011 sees the return of Unquote, Med School’s celestial navigator from Saint Petersburg. Aiming to create music which is like “hearing the sound of your soul” Unquote sails the 130-170bpm spectrum and beyond.

Carving out sonic cathedrals from ambient and melodic elements, deep basslines and lush, emotive instrumentals, we last saw Unquote late in 2010, with his poetically entitled masterpiece “Hide Your Tears Because We Are In Heaven”. Now he returns with this 15-track opus which is stunning, heartfelt and hauntingly beautiful.

“Like a breath of fresh air.” – Eddy Temple-Morris (XFM)
