Aubergine Machine is electronic pop duo of Ian Carey (producer, writer, performer and dj) and Shanti Ellis (instrumentation and vocals).  On this particular track, they mix a downtempo vibe with a rubber synth lead and tech house chord stabs.

Bio:

The producer behind the group, Ian Carey has had 2 multi-platinum, 1 platinum and 2 gold sales certified records, an MTV Music Video award, and has toured as a DJ in over 60 countries, performing alongside Basement Jaxx, Avicii, Faithless, Diplo, Swedish House Mafia, Empire of the Sun and many others. Now he’s teamed up with vocalist Shanti Ellis to create a fresh, experimental sound with Aubergine MACHINE.

“For Hostage we went back to the future and used our favorite 90s trip hop/neo soul influences to produce a fresh, deep, ultramodern song. We really enjoyed working on this one because it felt very natural to leave a little space to make it a little bit dark.”

Minimal instrumentation meets pop aesthetic and a lovely voice. Nina’s voice reminds me of a mix La Roux and Lorde, which is an excellent blend.

This track is taken from Nina’s just released EP, Finest Hour. The entire EP is awaiting your attention!
