Hometown Sounds

If last month’s XLR8R premiere of Lance Neptune‘s new track “Circle Rose” got you impatient for a new full-length release from the astronautical producer from Glenarden, MD, then we’ve got a little something to tide you over. This 2014 music video for “Cosmic Oceans” comes from Neptune’s earliest collection Synthesis, and takes you on a hallucinogenic tour through the weirdest Star Trek episodes you never saw.

Despite hailing from the lesser-known DC suburb of Glenarden MD, electronic dance music producer Lance Neptune is blessed with buzz from top outlets like Beatport, Vice and XLR8R, who named Neptune one of 2015’s best new artists. After crafting a well-received remix of UK artist Lone, Lone’s label Magicwire woke up from a 3 year slumber and released Neptune’s EP Animal Eclipse, six tracks of truly cosmic dance music in a similar vein to Protect-U. “Janus”, a moon of Saturn and the EP’s first single, gets a music video from Rafael Bonillav channeling Neptune’s insatiable love of space into a claymation exploration of alien life on uncharted planets.
