Red pill? Blue pill? “Moments” is inspired by those split decisions and the eternal consequences they can have.
“In life it only takes a moment or choice to decide how things go. And in life moments shape us as people good or bad” says Dirty Freud of the track.
Beginning its life in the Tresor and Hansa Studios of Berlin, clubland is in its very DNA. A clash of sounds and genres, from its ominous old skool rave nods to its stuttering post dub-step crescendo, “Moments” is at once foreboding, sense-heightening and utterly intoxicating. Clamouring to be heard in those darkest spaces of the dancefloor where anything can happen, “Moments” is a stark and thrilling paean to the paralysed nightlife scene.
Finalised at Manchester’s electronic institution Blueprint Studios and the legendary Yellow Arch Studios in Freud’s hometown of Sheffield, “Moments” forms a quarter of an upcoming EP: ‘Love In The Backwater’ – set for release on the Modern Sky UK label this December.

Alongside new release “Moments”, the EP will comprise previous singles “Blood Bayou” and “Intentions”.
