Newcastle born producer and sound designer, Colors in Waves debut on Me Me Me this May, accompanied by remixes from Roman Flügel and Cici.

Colors in Waves is the alias for UK artist John Shearer, who explores the world of sound and video whilst experimenting with synthesis and sound art. Working as a sound designer, John displays his broad sonic palette on his inaugural release on Man Power’s Me Me Me imprint, which features remixes from prolific German producer Roman Flügel and Dublin/London-based emerging artist Cici.

Title track ‘Ultraviolet’ kicks off the EP in style as the spiralling synths bounce elegantly off the vibrant 909 drums before ‘Conservation of Momentum’ provides a hypnotic aesthetic as resonating kicks, hooky bass grooves and cosmic arpeggios taking the focus. Up next, ‘Vulture’ and ‘Magnet’ together bring intergalactic atmospheres into effect with emotive synths fusing elegantly with the stabbing melodies and revolving sonics which are both stirring yet inspiring.

Roman Flügel then provides a playful remix of ‘Ultraviolet’ fusing darker acidic elements, colourful fx and warming low frequencies, until Cici rounds off proceedings in style with a remix of ‘Ultraviolet’ featuring oscillating growls, outlandish tones and melodies and bleeps that intertwine with a psychedelic twist.
