“The Brightest Flame Casts the Darkest Shadow!”
No matter how bright the moon shines, on the opposite side lies a dark face. No matter how bright a fire burns, the ash still remains black. The good cannot exist without the bad. Light cannot exist without the dark. Whether it’s a ying to a yang or a shadow to a light, life is balanced by both positive and negative energy. And while we strive to keep the light in our lives, sometimes the darkness takes control.
So what is it we do when darkness takes the reigns and drives us to the more difficult parts of our mind? Some ignore it and let it fester. Some accept it and let it guide their lives. But others, like EDM and bass producer Adey8, channel that negative energy and attempt to mold into a vehicle of raw, unfiltered passion. A passion that amplifies both the good and the bad aspects of life. Because you can’t have one without the other.
The fact of the matter is that we all have a choice. And that choice is how we respond to our environment and the way life is treating us. Adey8’s response comes in the form of wavering synth-patterns, dark basslines, and even deeper drops. He crafted his interpretations into a message of expression. A self-medicating expression, in the form of a 7 song album.
So whether you’re a bass lover that wants something to put you in the Halloween mood or you’re curious about how something so opaque can be turned into a statement of pure emotion, the Edge of Darkness is a story you need to listen to.
