Rival Consoles follows his soundtrack to Netflix hit El Caso Figo with thumping new single ‘World Turns’

It’s only been a week since the prolific London-based producer dropped his 60-minute electronic soundtrack to the Netflix hit The Figo Affair: The Transfer that Changed Football (#1 in Spain & Portugal), and he already follows it with ‘World Turns’ — the thumping new single from his upcoming studio album Now Is.

“The essence of ‘World Turns’ is built around this pendulum-like bass, that constantly drives the piece forward. I like having parts in music which are repetitive but everything else is changing around it, almost like a kind of hidden structure, because the repetition becomes more subliminal.  

I think of this music as being like industry, the industry of stuff having to be made. The world carrying on doing things whether or not it is good or bad, relentlessly moving forward — sometimes chaotic, sometimes more ordered.”

Building on his reputation for driving, experimental electronic music that makes synthesisers sound human, Rival Consoles expands on his consistent desire to create a more organic, living sound, seeing him forming pieces that capture a sense of songwriting behind the machines.

Now Is will be released October 14 via Erased Tapes.
