DEEPRIVER – VOLUME ONE
Release date: 16 June 2023
Label: n5MD
Formats: Vinyl, digital
Deepriver is the recently formed intercontinental project of Cape Town-based Jason van Wyk and long time Stockholm-based collaborator Joni Ljungqvist. Having worked previously in collaboration mining the more introspective side of trance, Deepriver’s inaugural aural statement, “Volume One”, finds the two experimenting with atmosphere and composition to maximal effect. Van Wyk’s recent viscerally experimental direction seamlessly coalesces with Ljungqvist’s conceptually reflective approach in a way that recalls the sounds and nostalgia of electronic music from decades past. Having slowly formed through many iterations, “Volume One” is out on June 16.
“Lush and enveloping.” – Stationary Travels
“Deep and wide sonics which evoke the snow-covered landscapes of the wintry north, vast sweeps of barren Iceland and the limitless breadth of deep space.” – Elsewhere Magazine
