Whats going on dance music fans? We’ve got a special EDMsauce.com Artist of the Week for you. Welcome Timothy and the Apocalypse and his incredibly fresh take on electronic dance music – in a diluted genre and scene, always be a Timothy!

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Timothy and the Apocalypse started  producing his brand of cinematic beats as a soundtrack for the end of  the world. His 2021 debut album Future So Bright established Timothy as a serious  player on the downtempo/trip-hop scene, capturing the hearts of  musical aficionados with The Mindful Cherub on Spotify’s Just Chill  playlist.

His latest works, Ethereal Event contains a multitude of heady and  wondrous mix of breaks, soothing textures, and a reassuring feminine  presence. Exemplary focus single Start Again brings the fun of  Madchester indie-rave. Dazzling with a distinctive production style that leaps across genre  boundaries like psychedelic, dystopian film soundtracks, rave, drum  and bass and soul, are among the influences that inspire Timothy’s  songs.

It’s like screaming along the freeway channel surfing the radio to  random stations, yielding a unique head bopping every time The Mindful Cherub Remixes by 9 Theory, Time Meddler and Floating  Pyramids out now!

“‘truly ethereal indeed, with an exceptionally high standard on offer’  – Electric Mode”

The Mindful Cherub, is sure to entice anyone who recognises David  Lynch as an exceptional electronica artist as well as an incredible filmmaker. There are plenty of odes to the cold psychedelic tones  found in Pinky’s Dream, featuring Karen O; the tonally multifaceted  track was written as a nod to 60’s Psyche escapism, and that’s exactly
what it delivers.    ‘A&R Factory’

Timothy and the Apocalypse is excited to release The Mindful Cherub Remixes, teaming up with 9 Theory, Floating Pyramids and The Time Meddler interpolating Timothy’s growing canon of expansive indietronica.

“a really unique take on this genre, and is something that can only  strengthen Timothy’s catalogue.” – RGM

Originally released on Future So Bright, the debut long player from Timothy and the Apocalypse. The Mindful Cherub, plays off conventional desires for HipHop Radio and commercial meditation with soothingly illusionary chimes and 60’s psyche escapism.Upon releasing Future So Bright, his critical update to downtempo electronica demanded the attention of playlist curators landing The Mindful Cherub on Spotify’s Just Chill and NightShift, setting him among contemporaries such as Peggy Gou and Oneohtrix Point Never.

“The Mindful Cherub, is sure to entice anyone who recognises David  Lynch as an exceptional electronica artist as well as an incredible  filmmaker. There are plenty of odes to the cold psychedelic tones  found in Pinky’s Dream, featuring Karen O; the tonally multifaceted  track was written as a nod to 60’s Psyche escapism, and that’s exactly  what it delivers.”

Here within this selection of remixes, the core concept of mindfulness refreshes how you hear the original track. Leading with a remix by 9 Theory (a prominent figure in downtempo house who has worked with Emancipator and Jason Mraz), the LA-based producer focuses on building tuned percussion from the available harmonic structures cultivating a calm introversion, whereas Floating Pyramids is grounded in an organic determination, allowing the haze of vocal samples to swirl past without interference. Time Meddler’s contribution is a clear and present cut, elevating the key identifiers of the original into a crystalline view.

Where the original track placed acid jazz alongside retro-futurism, these revisions integrate the space, textures and time for reflection on all things modern.
