Atlas Stadium: Neon City Nights

Atlas Stadium: Neon City Nights is the origin story, re-staged. It began as my debut EP - the first songs I ever put out, from an earlier creative world I called the Atlas Universe. This is that same EP taken out of the bedroom and dropped into a virtual stadium: bigger, brighter, louder, and lit up like a city skyline at midnight.

Picture the lights going down, the roar of a crowd you cannot see the end of, and the first synth hitting like a floodlight snapping on. That is the show. Every song from the debut EP rebuilt for the arena - the same bones, the same hooks, but staged for a stadium that only exists once you press play.

This is the most electric music I have released. Neon synths, pulsing electronic beats and choruses built to bounce off the back wall of a stadium - the sound of a city at night with the lights all the way up. It is anthemic, nostalgic and unapologetically big, a throwback to where I started and a celebration of it.

Where my current records are warm and cinematic, this one plugs straight into the mains. It is electric, it is arena-sized, and it is designed to be played loud with your hands in the air - the origin turned up to stadium scale.

Before the theme-park records, before the warm and cinematic songs, there was the Atlas Universe - a neon-lit world and the debut EP that came out of it. Atlas Stadium: Neon City Nights goes back to that beginning and gives it the stage it always deserved: a roaring virtual arena, a skyline of light, and the crowd it never got the first time round.

It is nostalgic on purpose. This is me pressing play on my own origin story and turning it up - the earliest version of what I do, rebuilt arena-sized so it can finally fill a stadium. Out now, and best heard loud.

Atlas Stadium: Neon City Nights is a remake of my first EP, re-staged as a virtual neon stadium show. It comes from an earlier creative world of mine, the Atlas Universe - electric, arena-sized and lit up like a city skyline. It is out now.

It is an origin piece, not the direction I am heading now. My current work is the warm, cinematic Alton Towers material - the single The Runaway Mine Train and the album Alton After Dark. Atlas Stadium is where I began, kept as its own thing: the neon back catalogue, reborn for the lights, sitting proudly beside the cinematic records I am making today.
