Today, Bristol’s beloved DJ, producer, fashion designer and self-taught CEO [IVY] has dropped the intoxicating ‘Euphoria’ EP. The soon to be drum and bass legend combines her love of euphoric techno and monumental mid-noughties floor-fillers for five tracks of completely hypnotic dance. Presave HERE. Full tracklist below.
Of the EP [IVY] says: “Cruisin’” is a light-hearted, fun record that takes inspiration from old school piano house, aiming to produce euphoria and nostalgia. I made Cruisin’ 2 years ago as an experimental piece, thinking no one would like it. Little did I know, it would launch my whole music career. After posting a clip online, it landed me a record deal, and everything took off from there. Sometimes, things are taken way too seriously in the music industry and the underground scene, so it’s important to remind ourselves that music is meant to be fun and take people on journeys. This energetic summer track wraps up my Euphoria EP, marking a full circle moment for me.
[IVY]’s hedonistic dance revolution has led to over 4 million global streams and seen her swiftly gain recognition as one of the UK’s most promising producers on the rave scene. This year has already seen single ‘First Time’ with Elipsa supported widely by key tastemakers across Radio 1 and KISS. [IVY]’s multiple jam-packed Glastonbury festival slots ended in an epic closing of one of the most legendary stages on the globe, the Temple stage. Her time as CEO and founder of the free-spirited festival favourite, Jazzy Garms, is balanced alongside her obsession with life behind the decks.
With an adventurous approach to sound, tracks like ‘Close To Me’ and ‘looking 4 me’ led to her being named one of UKF’s iconic “Ones To Watch”. [IVY] began her ascent to underground notability when garnering significant key tastemaker support from DJ Hybrid, Goddard, Charlie Tee and Sarah Story and more. She was included in BBC Radio 1’s “Essential Artists” and was named as an ‘Emerging Artist on Our Radar’ by Beatport.
With a background rooted in European ‘core’, [IVY]’s deep dive into DJing was fueled by Bristol’s well-respected underground drum ‘n’ bass scene. Her driving ability to captivate audiences with dynamic performances and infectious energy allows her to grace electric stages and events around the world including XOYO, Hospitality on the Beach, Boardmasters and EDC Vegas. With another belter of a summer ahead of her, [IVY]’s soaring career is far from the sleepy rural peninsula roots where teenage boredom led to her trademark “house on steroids” sound.
