│ │
│ The last few years have seen a significant flurry of activity from the │
│ Activa camp, made all the more notable as it followed a period of pause │
│ for Rob Stevenson. Says the UK based DJ/producer, ôthere were a number │
│ of years where I no longer felt the same connection to what was │
│ happening musically within the scene. However, if the time IÆve spent │
│ in the industry taught me anything, itÆs that music is cyclical. │
│ Everything comes back around. It was just a question of waiting till │
│ the time was right again.ö │
│ │
│ Paradoxically, lockdown, proved to be the jailbreak moment for RobÆs │
│ more classic form of trance. ôPeople needed to feel connected and │
│ historically, I donÆt think thereÆs many forms of electronic music │
│ thatÆs done more of that than trance.ö It was around that time that Rob │
│ recommenced his operations, quickly becoming one of the │
│ foremost proponents in this fresh wave of truest-form trance. Having │
│ rebooted his Borderline label, Activa recorded æOriginsÆ, his first │
│ artist album in a decade, before releasing the Tri-Series û a run of │
│ made-for-12ö productions. For Rob though, simply getting the music back │
│ into vogue was never going to be enough. It didnÆt │
│ just need to reacquire its classic sound, but also - in order to be │
│ authentic û it had to feel the same, look the same and release the │
│ same. │
│ │
│ All of which leads up RobÆs next restorative action: æMovement (V. 01)Æ │
│ - a set of discs and mixes constructed in trance & progressiveÆs │
│ original æbuildingÆ manner. In order to fully achieve that classic │
│ sound, he knocked on the doors of some producers whoÆd been as │
│ unswerving in their sonic beliefs as he had. Over its two discs, │
│ æMovementÆ features music from the likes of Luke Terry, Jaron Inc., │
│ Pulser, DJ Dazzle, Maria Healy, The Noble Six, Factoria, Lostly and │
│ numerous others. Naturally enough, thereÆs also a wealth of new │
│ production and remix exclusivity onboard from Rob himself! │
│ │
│ In order to get the generationally authentic look he wanted for the │
│ release, Rob turned to The Designers Republic, the visual powerhouse │
│ behind electronic institutions like Gatecrasher, Warp and Satoshi │
│ Tomiie. TheyÆve channelled that creativity into æMovementÆs cover art, │
│ which provides an aesthetic, as well as sonic touchstone to releases │
│ past. An album experience for anyone who was there à or simply wishes │
│ they were,Movement (V. 01). │
