London’s Esther Joy is definitely one of the more exciting acts out today, treading on the darker side of electronica. Having announced the release of forthcoming debut EP The Acid Caves Vol 1., she returns with a futuritsic meeting of electronica, dance and hard-hitting trap. And while musically the track itself is a heavy-hitter for the raves, the content actually revolves around a story in which Esther Joy states:

“This song is the second in the Acid Caves story, following a young alien ‘Silipur’ in a world where all intelligent lifeforms are able to see in a new dimension called ‘The Chaos’. The Chaos gives the ability to see, understand and manipulate emotional energy which is fuelling the universe. Humans are the only beings that lack this ability as a fixation on ego stunted their natural evolution.

‘Day 4 (Landing)’ is based on Silipur’s first day on Earth. She is overwhelmed by the psychological state of the planet and the emotional toxicity of it’s atmosphere. Humans cannot understand ‘The Chaos’ and have therefore left their planet to emotional ruin. I wanted this song to feel violent and intrusive, as if you are experiencing the extremity and destruction of earth for the very first time.”
