Violet Nights Recording’s (VNR) second vinyl release of the year showcases two phenomenal tunes from legends in the Atmospheric D&B universe, Blame and Lucida. This news has captivated our hearts, as the last time Graham Fisken, a.k.a Lucida, released a solo track on vinyl was back in 1994 on the famed label Production House. If you haven’t heard of Lucida, I urge you to go back into the vaults of that mid-nineties Atmospheric D&B sound and dig for Mouly & Lucida tunes. Lucida came back into the world of D&B in 2014 with a digital track called “Helical Flow”. Since then he has released a few more dazzling Atmospheric D&B tunes that you can find on his Bandcamp page, Lucida Audio. Watching the VNR livestreams recently, I noticed they teased us with a few of the tracks Lucida has signed with the label—and in my opinion, Lucida is on a league of his own.

The big VNR reveal in 2020 has been hyped for so long that finally on Friday, April 2nd, you can scoop your very own copy of VNR002 on VNR’s Bandcamp page. Read More
