Hailing from Manchester, Joe Synkro launched his musical career within the dubstep / 2 step framework, but has more recently been a driving force behind the fusion of d'n'b / dubstep and electronica / ambient styles, frequently dubbed 'the Autonomic sound' after Instra:mental and dBridge's influential podcast series, on which Synkro's music was frequently appeared. In 2012 Synkro signed to the newly relaunched Apollo label, which released his 'Acceptance EP' in 2013.

This EP is featured in Update #086:
Drexciya, Night Slugs Allstars, Theo Parrish, Pop Ambient 2013
2013's first month might have started out a bit slow, but in the end a flush of excellent releases should have left none of you cold. Whether it's Theo Parrish's brilliantly experimental house tunes, Kompakt's sublime 'Pop Ambient 2013' or a wealth of great more...
Containing eight tracks and clocking in at album length it seems almost an understatement to call Synkro's latest opus an EP, even more so once you sample the Mancunian's grand sonic vision of endless reverbs, warm pads and subtle dubbed-out beats. A perfect soundtrack for melancholy sunsets.
