Ex Medias, a renowned artist collective, is thrilled to announce their 4th installment in the Ex Medias compilation series. Featuring 15 diverse tracks, this release marks a significant milestone, showcasing their commitment to a variety of sounds and highlighting their unity as a creative family.
The album opens with Able Grey’s “I Need Your Love” featuring MEDYK, setting a heartfelt tone with its melodic bass. JWILLI’s “It’s Not That Easy” follows, blending introspective drum and bass. Free Apollo’s “Everything You Want VIP” raises the tempo, leading to FLYNNINHO’s high-energy “TEAR THE CLUB DOWN.”
Emurse’s “Parallax” immerses listeners in a cinematic wave genre, contrasting with DREAMBAY’s upbeat “DANCEWITHME!” and Zarkilor’s experimental “Day By Day.” The album also features an array of house influences, including Jon Alfaro & Yorii’s piano-driven “Anxious” and Blk Out’s “Something About You,” along with Fourth Co.’s classic “Designed & Engineered.”
Tech house and drum and bass blend in Djorgiou & PsychE’s “Monster” and DJ GOOSE’s “Dark Clouds.” The compilation climaxes with Phrequency’s “TEAR IT DOWN” and HASHBBC’s “Bust It Underground,” before 80/40’s “Obsessions” rounds off the journey.
Founded by visionary leader Able Grey, Ex Medias has become a fast-rising player in the electronic music scene. Grey’s leadership and collaborative spirit have been pivotal in the collective’s success, fostering a strong community within the genre, from Chicago-outward.
The series reflects the members’ dedication to their art, offering a journey through genres from future/melodic bass to house and techno. Initially focused on Chicago’s underrepresented artists, Ex Medias has expanded nationwide, nurturing and developing talent.
More than a collective, Ex Medias is a community dedicated to artistic growth and collective success. This compilation is a refection of a one-of-a-kind united force that is Ex Medias, sharing a authentic bond like few other dance collectives are able to put out to the world. They are the ultimate embodiment that rising tides lift all ships.
