“In the final stretch of my PhD I needed a creative break, so I started messing around with a Moog bassline,” he explains. “I ran it through a plugin that emulates an A/DA STD-1 Delay Rack Unit to make it super wide, and the rest of the song just wrote itself.” – 44 Ardent.

Wake Up captures 44 Ardent’s refusal to be boxed into one genre or mood, instead embracing spontaneity and fluidity in his music. With his new EP on the horizon, the single is a bold statement from a producer quickly carving out his place in the Australian electronic scene.
