Natural State EP

A 6 track house ep (32m 1s) — released May 3rd 2024 on Fortune Signal

Akumen's Natural State EP is an evocative reflection on modern life through a house music lens. From the anxious energy of "TIMECRUNCH" to the wistful escapism of "Let It Roll," these 4 original tracks channel classic motifs via textural, atmospheric production. The result is a captivating fusion of timeless sounds and contemporary moods, perfect for discerning dancefloors and introspective headphone sessions alike.

Natural State EP also features two infectious reinterpretations. Alabama's Byron The Aquarius brings his spaced out house sensibilities to "I Need You," enveloping the track in enchanting keys and syrupy atmospherics. Fortune Signal co-founder D.D. Curry amplifies the intensity of "TIMECRUNCH," delivering a propulsive, speed garage rework built for peak-time play.
