Borderline @ YouTubeBorderline @ SoundcloudJohn Dopping has been carving his career carefully and methodically since his first outing on
Digital Society Recordings in 2010, when
Activa, the founder of
Borderline Music, remixed his debut single
The Mind.
From that point John has worked closely with
Activa and
Borderline Music, drawing together plans for an artist album that gave John the freedom and flexibility to create something that is as breathtakingly intricate as it is expertly crafted for the the dance floor.
The result is
Words In Colour, a body of work that showcases not only John's melodic intelligence, but also his standards of production quality.
In 2013 the first single, '
Aryl' was released, and early 2014 saw the emergence of the '
Words In Colour' EP, which included '
Basically.' All of the tracks gained support from the likes of
Paul Oakenfold on his
Planet Perfecto and Full On Fluoro radio shows, and
Yahel with the release of '
Full On Fluoro Vol. 2'.
Tracklist:
01. The Fire Behind
02. Chayote ft. Activa
03. An Opportunity
04. Basically
05. Say Hello To Dave
06. Where Do I Begin
07. Kayafly
08. Aryl
09. Glade ft. Davey Asprey
10. Introspection ft. Magnus
11. Dissociate
12. Words In Colour
13. Malady
The album is a sublime journey of melodic electronic music, from the breakbeat hybrid '
The Fire Behind', through to melodic forces like '
Basically' and '
Where Do I Begin', the serene ambience of '
Kayafly' and the acid fuelled '
Introspection'.
In an industry where often 'simple and loud' serve to overbear quality and subtlety, John Dopping provides a welcome alternative; the change to sit back and think.
Let your mind wander and your senses fill.
This is
Words In Colour.
