SKY H1 presents her long-awaited debut album, Azure, on AD 93.

The widespread success of her first EPs and appearances captured the blurring lines between her foundational experiences in drum and bass, grime, dubstep, and techno, all tilted towards schematic bursts of pop. Azure builds on these foundations and explores a delicate medley of experiences, forms, and functions, culminating in an imaginative and evocative debut album.

The title, Azure, was chosen to evoke memories of her mother, to whom the record is dedicated.
The song titles reference the Access Virus synthesiser, an instrument series that made a deep and lasting impression on dance and electronic music in the early years of the new millennium.

Even "long-awaited" seems like an understatement here. Really curious. I was supposed to go to one of her recent AV shows but regrettably did not make it.

I saw her in 2016 during the BOZAR night in Brussels, and I remember it as wonderful performance.

Another single:

Yeah it's a beaut. Melancholy techno for the living room. Electronic listening music.

Thanks to people mentioning this in the best of 2021 thread gave this a listen and loving it! Gorgeous album

First listen was saying ''it's OK'' but it's growing. Loving the opener, along ''Topaz".

Nice and chilled out mix with a couple of album tracks in it.

Love that label, happy to check this out!
