Runnin Out Of TimeLil Skies

Born in 1998 and hailing from Pennsylvania, Lil Skies released many tracks online as a teenager, and his debut single “Red Roses,” released in 2017, became a hit that quickly brought him into the spotlight.

It’s quite a bold artist name, but true to it, London Elektricity is a solo project by Tony Colman based in London, UK.

Originally, it was a duo that also included Chris Goss, but Chris left the project to focus on running Hospital Records—the long-standing drum and bass label the two co-founded—so it now operates as Tony’s solo project.

London Elektricity’s classic 2006 track “Remember the Future” is a beautiful drum and bass masterpiece that showcases Tony’s deep sensibilities across not only drum and bass but also soul and jazz.

The balance is impeccable: high-speed drum and bass beats paired with somewhat airy synths, refined piano phrases, and vocals.

This track has been performed live with a big-band-style jazz ensemble, so be sure to check out the footage if you can!

Russolo’s innovative ideas have greatly influenced the diversity and evolution of contemporary music.

He is an artist well worth exploring for anyone interested in the possibilities of new sounds.
