Description

Taking shape over a continuous mix, RITUAL tracks a transformative journey that for Hopkins sits outside the domain of human knowledge. Rather, it’s immersed in pure feeling, lost in a dense nebula of sound that slowly evolves in its subtle grandeur. A sharp breath in, a lighting of the match, and a single chime twinkles in the limitless ambience of cavern chambers. Brewing pulsations emanate from the thick cloud of smoke, materialising into minimal beats that finally mark the passage of time, and reveal that club catharsis and folk healing, techno and ancient, are one and the same.
