Unveiling Spencer Brown's 'Equanimity': A Musical Odyssey

Spencer Brown, a luminary in the realm of progressive house and techno, is on the brink of releasing his highly anticipated album, 'Equanimity.' This musical opus comes hot on the heels of his latest double single, "SF to Cordoba // Curve," currently available on his diviine imprint. Let's dive into the depths of this musical masterpiece.

A Transcontinental Overture: 'SF to Cordoba'

A collaborative effort with Ezequiel Arias, 'SF to Cordoba' is a symphony that encapsulates the essence of the cities it's named after. This cinematic single unfolds a narrative through sound, evolving from warm bleeps and textures into an exhilarating progressive house/electro composition.

Spencer Brown recounts the genesis of this collaboration, "I first heard Ezequiel Arias’s music while on an airplane. His moody, hypnotic progressive grooves left me in awe in the air. We met for the first time in person in 2023 in Córdoba before our show in Buenos Aires. Our chemistry in the studio was incredible–the same wavelength—very laid-back, fun energy together, which always produces the best results. In two days, “SF to Córdoba” was born."

'Curve': A Desert Drive with a Soundtrack

On the B-Side, 'Curve' takes listeners on a free-spirited desert drive, guided by a dark, rubbery bassline and ethereal synths. This track, conceived during the lockdowns of 2020, marked a significant milestone for Spencer Brown as he delved into hardware synthesis with a Behringer Model D. Despite its melodic nature, 'Curve' has ignited dancefloors worldwide.

'Equanimity': A Seamless Symphony

'Equanimity' promises to be a magnum opus, seamlessly blending tracks into one continuous piece. Previous album singles like "20ms" with QRION and "Awu Wemadoda" featuring Wilt Claybourne and the acclaimed Ladysmith Black Mambazo have set the stage for this monumental release. Collaborations with musical luminaries like ilan Bluestone, Late Night Shri, Luttrell, and POS (Above & Beyond’s Paavo Siljamäki) further elevate the album.
