Fireground’s second single ‘Activate’ is out now. The upcoming EP ‘Refreshing Part 2’ arrives on April 3.
On the track, rhythm is organised as “a kind of pseudo-polyrhythm that demands attention. A simple structure remains as a base, while overlapping elements generate tension and a physical pull: activation as a conscious decision to enter movement.” — Fireground

Fireground - Refreshing Part 2 is out now.
The four tracks on the 12” are hypnotic dives into a full spectrum of club music: the rhythm and sound design guiding the subconscious into visions of past, present and future intermingled, a reminder that all moments co-exist simultaneously.
Side A passes from the stripped-down intensity of ‘The Way’ through to ‘Elisir’, which manages to feel light and floaty while maintaining the power of its predecessor. The flip side opens with the forceful drive of ‘Activate’ before making way for the percussive elasticity of ‘Family Trees’, a track which closes the EP by recalling, in both name and sound, how that which came before deeply affects the now, often in ways only subliminally perceived.
Digital-only track ‘Fixed in Flux’ continues this concept, and the overall themes of ‘Refreshing Part 2’, with further evocations of intent and movement; remaining present in change, without resisting it, yet without dissolving into it.
1. The Way
