About the release
«Jeff brought a clever idea to me and that was to create a compilation for «The Escape Velocity» project. It was clear that it was important to keep the Axis’ space aesthetic and that the whole thing would be curated by Modularz, so I took the information Jeff gave me and began to select only a few producers that I felt that could contribute something different without orbiting too far out of the Axis Solar System.
The 6 planet discovery mission is a metaphor for discovering something else or out of the Axis’ norm and I used planets instead of artists to describe this. I asked each artist to name their created tracks after a newly discovered planet if they were given the opportunity and in total, we came up with 6 to complete the compilation.»
