Hard Islands

'hard islands' edges towards the tougher end of electronica occupied by warp and rephlex stalwarts clark and aphex twin, where spine-tingling melody meets fake's acute awareness of what works on the dancefloor. 'hard islands' showcases a tougher, more grown-up sound than his hugely successful 'drowning in a sea of love' debut, as nathan fake continues to mature in perfect step with britain's youthful new wave of danceable electronica. each track can function as a hedonist's anthem in its own right, optimised for maximum dancefloor impact after evolving gradually in the context of fake's intense live club set.
