In Colour Preview captures the precise moment when the adrenaline of a night out begins to curdle into the quiet reflection of the morning after. It is a record that feels both intensely private and communal, built from the DNA of London's rave history but filtered through a lens of soft-focus intimacy. The sound is defined by its use of space: every drum hit and synth swell is given room to breathe, creating a sense of vast, urban emptiness that is slowly filled with vibrant, prismatic textures. It is the sound of a producer finding his own voice by fragmenting and reassembling the voices of others.

the transition from a heavy, driving breakbeat into a shimmering, ambient wash of synths
