AYAN RETURNS TO ELIF’S RISING MARGINALIA LABEL WITH HIS BROWNIAN MOTION EP INCLUDING A REMIX FROM EDONE!

Emerging talent Ayan steps up to Elif's ever more influential Marginalia label with the superb ‘Brownian Motion’ EP  which comes with a remix from EdOne. The new release follows Ayan’s single ‘Chimes’ on Marginalia’s first compilation earlier this year and he also looks forward to featuring on the second VA release in 2025.

Ayan is a new school star with credits already on the likes of Kinetic and Blindfold. He is known for exploring new artistic relays and serving up sonic stories that are emotional and innovative. He has had support from big names like Aera, Elif, Skala, Yubik and Baime and is inspired by everything from funk, rock, bass and soul. 

‘Brownian Motion’ is brilliantly warm and heavy with a textured bassline driving it along under warped synth sounds that grind throughout the mix. It's an electrifying cut that will flip the dance floor inside out. The fantastic ‘Restrained Circuits’ is an atmospheric, stripped back and percussive cut with wiry electronics and tense chords that keep you in suspense. Glassy textures and glitchy machine sounds give it a sense of unique futurism that really stands out.

Also on board is remixer EdOne, EdOne is a Spanish talent who has released on all of the scene's most recognised labels from Innervisions to Suara, Mood to Still vor Talent and Multinotes as well as his own label Surrealism. He has been leading from the front for the last decade plus and always brings great craft to his works while also DJing around Europe, including a performance at Marginalia’s first label showcase.

EdOne's tracks have charted in the Top 10 on Beatport around 15 times, and he frequently receives support from big names such as Dixon, Ame, Adriatique, Maceo Plex, John Digweed, Oliver Koletzki, Nicole Moudaber, and others. His remix of ‘Brownian Motion’ is a punchy and melodic groove with beautiful pads rising up through the mix as the chattery percussion keeps the grove moving.

The Orlando-based producer pulls no punches with his latest high-energy dubstep anthem.

OviLoad is making his debut on Insomniac’s Discovery Project imprint on September 27th with his newest single, “DON’T WORRY.”
