Spencer Hardwick’s Introspection EP is like a late-night sci-fi movie rerun you didn’t plan to watch, but now you’re totally hooked. Dancing in your kitchen at 2AM with big questions swirling in your head and a grin on your face.
Kicking off with “Are These My Memories,” Hardwick dives headfirst into a lush, synth-laced rabbit hole. It’s glitchy, trippy, and just ambiguous enough to make you feel like you might actually be a replicant. If existential techno were a party, this track is handing out glowsticks and opening the door.
“Is This Real” keeps the vibe going with woozy melodies and beautifully wonky tension. It feels like you’ve just time-traveled and now you’re grooving through a neon-lit cityscape wondering how you got there. Hardwick doesn’t just build tracks—he builds moods.
“Why Can’t I Tell Anymore” closes out the originals with warped chords and suspenseful builds, like a musical cliffhanger. You’re dancing, sure, but you’re also questioning your entire timeline.
Then come the remixes. Mike Derer takes “Are These My Memories” and gives it a cosmic swirl, tossing in sparkle and texture like confetti. Jason Patrick cranks up the drive and takes it to a darker, dubby dance floor dimension.
Introspection lands on Spencer’s own VAST Recordings and is more than thoughtful, it’s a blast. It’s for heads, hearts, and hips alike. You’ll dance, you’ll think, and you’ll wonder if the robot in the mirror is thinking the same thing. Spencer Hardwick has made philosophy fun—and yes, you can rave to it.
