More Info:

Best known for his prolific output of house and techno releases since the early 2000's, the UK-based DJ/producer strikes out in an entirely new direction with a double album of ambient electronic music that is largely beatless. Heading up his record label Phoenix G for most of his releases, Colin McBean has also put out records on Rekids, Defected, Duty Free, and most recently on 49North in a string of releases with frequent collaborator Duncan Forbes.

The Dark Before The Light Of DawnDJ MAG:'Spanning 10 tracks, 'The Fifth Chakra (Ambient Space Tea)' explores sound system culture, covering one of the British-Jamaican artist's biggest influences. The record is largely beatless and focuses on the power of sub-bass and other electronics, moving away from the percussive house energy of much of his past material.'909Originals:'The largely ambient album is a departure from the thumping beats that Mr G has become famous for, but it also displays his personal, emotional side - tracks like Constant, Solar Eclipse NYC and The 5th Chakra encapsulate an artist allowing himself the freedom to roam through his influences.'Resident Advisor:'Never did I think I'd get to a meditative place and learn restraint,' he said. 'This is the album I've always wanted to make, never thinking I could. Also, after loving others' bass-heavy albums, it's a joy to put my own into the mix. But I always remember my thing is weight and tone in whatever I take on. Especially in this flat, compressed world.'
