The latest release on Livity Sound features an extensive insight into the work of Seb Uncles, aka 
Eusebeia. Uncles has been releasing his work prolifically over the past six years, from self-released 
tapes on Rebellion Electronics through to reams of 12”s and LPs for labels like Earthtrax, Western 
Lore, Rupture London and re:st. 

While his sound has often tilted towards drum & bass and jungle, he 
places atmosphere and composition ahead of genre boundaries and tempo restrictions. 
Cosmos EP finds Uncles stretching out over eight varied tracks for a broader experience compared to 
the usual Livity EP. 

Glacial ambience and richly layered synthesis guides the record overall, at times 
leaving drums behind altogether, but even at its mellowest you can sense the overbearing bias 
towards soundsystem music. The melancholic electronica of ‘Becoming’ gets underpinned by dread 
bass, and ‘Solace’ places a haunting steppas-esque refrain in the midst of heavily dubbed 
downtempo. 

When he does turn to full-tilt drumfunk edits on the likes of ‘Hopes & Dreams’ and ‘Love 
+ Light’, he approaches them with subtlety and finesse, matching rhythmic flair with melodic 
progressions which lend themselves to introspective listening as much as full dancefloor immersion. 
Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK 
techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one 
of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground electronic music.
