With its release on Mammal Sounds Records, “Bumper” is poised to make waves across the electronic music scene, cementing Arky Waters’ status as an artist to watch.
Speaking on the new EP, arky Waters explains that ““‘Bumper’ is a collection of tracks I made heavily inspired by the current dance music scene in Sydney. You have so many new crews and promoters all pushing different types of music – every weekend I would go out and hear something different. The best part is they’re all pushing music that they love. I guess I wanted to honor all the people that I’ve met along the way – something for the techno heads, the junglists and UKG ravers. Best part is everyone listens to everything nowadays, and you see similar faces everywhere you go. I will forever be a student of electronic music and I think this EP is a reflection of that.”
