DJ/producer longstoryshort has unveiled his groundbreaking EP, IN MY MIND, on Insomniac’s NIGHTMODE label. The EP delves into themes of light and dark, building on a year of major career milestones, including a collaboration with Dillon Francis on “Take Me Away,” an official remix of The Bloody Beetroots and Steve Aoki’s “Warp 1.9,” and two official remixes for Odesza. Since his launch in 2019, longstoryshort has consistently pushed boundaries and challenged norms, with IN MY MIND offering an innovative glimpse into his bright future.
“IN MY MIND EP is a journey through the dual sides of my music and personal experiences,” said longstoryshort. “Dark Mode [first half] brings out that raw, heavy-energy, side of me that leans into harder sounds and unfiltered intensity, while Light Mode [second half] explores a softer, emotional side, giving space to reflect and feel. Together, they offer a full view into my world, and I hope listeners connect with these tracks as a soundtrack to their own highs, lows, and everything in between.”
The IN MY MIND EP by longstoryshort is a dynamic blend of genres and emotions, designed to suit any setting, from club nights to introspective moments. It opens with “INTRO (DARK MODE),” a cinematic prelude that leads into the explosive bass house energy of the title track, “IN MY MIND.” The momentum continues with “IJUSTWANNA,” a collaboration with SPORTMODE, merging UK garage, drum & bass, and electrifying sirens. A brief pause comes with “interlude (light mode),” seamlessly transitioning the EP’s second half.
The second half brings depth and emotion, starting with “take the fall (don’t let it stop you),” a chill, melodic track with a hypnotic bassline. The EP concludes with “part of me,” an emotional finale combining heartfelt lyrics and dreamy production. With IN MY MIND, longstoryshort showcases his versatility and storytelling, offering an immersive, multi-sensory experience.
The IN MY MIND EP is just the start of an exciting chapter for longstoryshort, showcasing his ability to push boundaries and captivate listeners with his unique sound.
