about

...Arriving Soon is the debut EP from Wellington’s rising star DJ/producer Uber Driver. It serves as the first formal introduction to Uber Driver’s production and his inaugural outing with Auckland record label Heat Rockers. Following the success of Soundcloud demos and an official remix of Jack Panther’s Heartbreakers, fans have been calling for new music and it arrives in the form of a dance floor focused EP.

Touching on a range of influences within electronic dance music, the four tracks show variety and promise. Beginning on a very gentle and warm introduction, Autonomous opens the project on a floaty note before descending toward the first taste of the club music set to follow. Comment Section wastes no time in surging the listener straight into the depths of a grungy techno basement, with a low end rumble sure to shake the chests of those in attendance.

We then find ourselves deep in the dance of the 90s rave hit Learn U. Just as the molly starts to wear off and everything starts feeling more distant than it had at the peak of the night, a tear rolls down your cheek while your body two–steps automatically through muscle memory, providing just enough energy to bring you to the punch drunk finale of OK!. Skittish percussion dances around the atmosphere while being glued together by the bass courtesy of the legendary Juno-106. A murky atmosphere builds until the smoke clears and gives way to a system–pounding bottom end that’ll force you to make a face like you’re sucking a lemon. Sweat dripping from the walls and bodies jumping together mark the end of the project and firmly place Uber Driver in the conversation of “ones to watch” coming out of New Zealand.
