Warriors Of The Dystotheque was started as a production project about ten years ago by Jonny Mac. This iteration of the band is the first time that all the participants have met in real life and fully integrated a mass of contrasting sounds, ideas and influences.
It’s a Beautiful Thing is the result. It’s a quietly celebratory, subtly uplifting collection of tunes, specially sequenced for the delight of listeners on the vinyl format.
Here’s a quick list of sonic and cultural ingredients - to feel how they come together you’ll have to listen to the album.
Growing up in the Troubles in Northern Ireland; the 90s rave days; life in the sunshine in Florida; a mash-up of live and electronic music; friendship and loss; Ibiza sunlight and dark cloudy nights; despair and enlightenment; and the power of music to lift us up and create joy and harmony, which, we hope you can agree, really is a beautiful thing.
Jonny Mac says - “It feels like we’ve joined the dots on this album, it sounds more like the band coming together than the online project. It’s A Beautiful Thing.”
