Arcadia

Blue Marble’s Arcadia is an eight-track release for Marble Recordings that moves between two distinct paces: several tracks sit at 174 BPM, while “Sunlight,” “Tonight” and “When the Sun Goes Down” drop to 116 BPM. That contrast gives the collection a broader rhythmic range than a straight run of full-speed drum and bass.

It’s a substantial statement from Matthias De Herdt’s solo project on the London label he runs, with the track titles tracing a sunlit, reflective thread from “Heat” to “When the Sun Goes Down.”
