Eclectic house music producer Ross From Friends — real name Felix Clary Weatherall — has announced a new 12-inch EP and shared one of its three bouncy electronic tracks. Epiphany, Weatherall’s first physical release since his 2018 debut full-length album, is coming out on August 16 via Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label.
If its predecessor Family Portrait was dedicated to the producer’s parents, Epiphany celebrates the EP’s namesake: Weatherall’s sister, and one of his biggest role models in life.
The EP’s three tracks, including soulful, hypnotizing “The Revolution”— which dropped yesterday — were also inspired by classic late-nineties science-fiction films The Thirteenth Floor, The Matrix, and Fifth Element. What sparked Weatherall’s interest was the movies’ portrayal of a “desolate physical and social landscape becoming a utopia from a communal epiphany - or revolution.”
Epiphany’s artwork was created by pro-skateboarding legend, artist, and entrepreneur Chad Muska. Pre-order the EP here, listen to “The Revolution” below, and check out Ross From Friends’ North-American tour dates after artwork and tracklisting.
