There's a moment in every great night when the crowd stops thinking and just breathes in the music. That's where Fall From Grace has always lived - in the feverish stretch between sweat and starlight, where Glenn Morrison's vision has pushed electronic music forward for two relentless decades. The label was built by a Royal Conservatory pianist who tossed aside the safety net of classical etudes to chase the unruly heartbeat of club culture. From Bedrock to Kompakt, Ninja Tune to Global Underground, his fingerprints run through modern dance music, and Fall From Grace stands as a citadel for boundary-breaking sounds.
The latest assault comes from Prudance and Etzu Mahkayah, two conspirators at the sharp edge of the international progressive house scene. They've been courted by selectors like Damian Lazarus, Jamie Jones, Hernan Cattaneo, and Nick Warren, but on this release they carve their own path, one drenched in shimmering low-end and restless melody. Together they craft house music that moves like a living tide - smooth and fluid, yet peppered with details that refuse to sit quietly in the mix.
Evolving Shores opens the EP with a slow hypnotic swell. Its bassline drifts in like fog rolling off the ocean, wrapping around percussion that feels both tribal and futuristic. Synths flicker above the waterline, casting electric reflections across the dance floor. The track doesn't sprint; it prowls, patient and predatory, designed for DJs who understand the art of tension. It's a deep, cinematic workout that hints at sunrise but keeps you anchored in the heavy dark just long enough to make the release euphoric.
Then comes Rising Tides, a sharper weapon forged for late-night recklessness. The groove hits with a sly swagger, drums snapping against liquid pads while bright keys ripple through the mix like a sudden rush of moonlight. Prudance and Etzu build layers with the precision of seasoned producers yet leave enough grit for the track to breathe. It's melodic techno laced with house warmth, an anthem for warehouses, beaches, or wherever bodies gather to chase that last unbroken rhythm.
What makes this EP so potent is the chemistry between its creators and the ecosystem Glenn Morrison has cultivated at Fall From Grace. The label isn't just a release machine; it's a workshop for daring sound, a rally point for musicians who care about craft and chaos in equal measure. Evolving Shores / Rising Tides fits seamlessly into that narrative, proof that progressive house is alive, mutating, and ready for its next act.
With this record, Prudance and Etzu Mahkayah aren't simply adding two cuts to the catalogue - they're etching new lines into the history of forward-thinking dance music. These tracks shimmer with sweat and salt air, demanding big speakers, long nights, and the kind of crowd that understands when to lose itself entirely.
Fall From Grace has never been about nostalgia. It's about what's next, and this EP is a jet engine pointed straight at the horizon.
