In the artist’s own words, “This project was written during a time when I wanted to escape the situation I was in. These songs felt like the beginning, middle and end of a heist film to me. They helped soundtrack a huge transformation in my life – moving from my home in Brooklyn for the last decade to a new city where I hardly knew anyone. I’m excited to release this EP at the start of this new chapter of me stealing my life back and refocusing on my art.”
It is an exploration of “techno” interpreted by QRTR referencing the more melodic takes of 90s techno by artists like LFO, Orbital, & Aphex Twin. Further modern influences include the artists Belief, Alex Banks, Daniel Avery, Dapni & John Hopkins.
