Equal parts a master producer and veritable phenomenon, Eli Brown is a sonic force in a category of his own. Since bursting onto the scene in 2016, the techno powerhouse’s brooding sound and visceral energy have catapulted him from UK’s underground to global icon status at meteoritic pace – But you would be remiss to call him an overnight sensation. Boasting a career that spans over two decades, the enigmatic persona is yet another incarnation of the ingenuity, intensity and innovation of the man behind the music.

The visionaire is also the founder of Arcane, a trailblazing imprint championing both emerging and established acts who are similarly bridging the gap between the underground and mainstream worlds.

“Remedy” is a high-octane techno track with a galloping loop and sharp percussion. A consistent bassline creates a head bob in the listener. The loop briefly breaks its rhythm. An eclectic mix of kicks, hi-hats, and claps form a rhythmic triad worthy of a constant fist bump. A force field of laser effects make up this section’s undercurrent. The beat hypes up further with cosmic crescendoes and a gelatinous plamping. “Let the music be your remedy.” Radio signals flare out as a deep sample takes over: Stand out lines from this section include “the walls keep crawling, the world keeps on spinning.”, and “The night has no limit. Listen to the rhythm in your spirit. Can you hear it?” The song takes on tropical notes bassline and percussion continue marching forward. Chunky, laser focuses synth cuts through the tension built by the drum effects. Subtle wonk effects spiral along the techno night sky, in awe of the loop and drumbeat. The elements gradually fade into a majestic bridge. The sample and a subdued kick bust down the door while the loop gradually returns. Sweeping crescendoes welcome a build up of drum effects and electric buzzes. The tropical notes dance along in the background. The metaphorical trees are shaken by the earth-shattering bass and kicks. Eli Brown closes out “Remedy” with one last spiral.

“I’m always drawing inspiration from the music I grew up with. For example, you’ll hear obvious nods to the vocals of Maxi Jazz from Faithless throughout this track. I wanted to create something that feels visceral and aggressive, but also has a euphoric moment in the break – perfect for playing toward the end of my sets. Remedy is about escapism through sonics. It’s universally familiar and it’s why many of us love going to clubs, festivals, concerts and so on. This is a big one and I hope this track resonates with audiences in the same way it does for me.”
