The Space Between Us is proud to present the latest breakthrough in cell division, a most exciting advancement in the field of molecular biology. Meet - the Cytokinesis EP by Axon Growth Factor. Cell division is a natural occurrence, yet the creation of this release was an undertaking that will leave even the smartest brains in a state of perplexity. Often mistaken for binary fission, the process of the production of these tracks was a sensitive exercise in the fibre of dance… executed with precision.

What began as experimentation via hardware-driven analogue jams, elements have been chopped, fine-tuned and formulated specifically for use on the dance floor. Meticulously designed to stimulate your central nervous system, the Cytokinesis EP signals the start of a new cellular generation through an all-new sonic experience.

Opener, Batch C is a balearic blend of trance, trippy minimal percussion and breaks. Primal drones and gated leads offset the rigidly sequenced percussion. All elements are pulled into line with a sneaky breakbeat switch-up, echoed by a euphoric pad which carries the listener through a barrage of deep four-to-the-floor tribal grooves.

Cytokinesis teases a hazy yet uplifting prog-electro workout. Dub infused SFX and drones remain constant throughout, whilst playful melodic motifs and sparkling lead sequences sweep effortlessly over a foundation of wobbly yet focussed sub bass and stimulating electro rhythms.

Oxidative stress meticulously combines dizzying percussion, screaming bass-lines and metallic synth riffs into a high-octane, bass-focused electro melter specifically designed for the club. Sluggish breaks carefully weave in and out of focus, momentarily aligning to the mobilising electro rhythms and undulating subs that lay beneath.

Mooro/Perth-based Guy Contact facilitates a mutation of the EP opener, Batch C. With a wonky acid bassline and a pulsating rhythm, it’s primed for a hazy late-night warehouse soundsystem.

Naarm/Melbourne-based Escape Artist offers a contrasting reinterpretation of the title track, Cytokinesis. A club-focussed, no frills, euphoric blue-sky trance stomper, the listener is left in a perfect state of bliss and wonderment.
