Audio: Olugbenga 'Love Is The Devil In The Details' [Premiere]

When not playing in Metronomy, London/Lagos' Olugbenga has been keeping busy crafting a slew of remixes — many of which you can hear in his AIYE mixtape — as well as his own experimental concoctions. Marking another step towards production, Olugbenga's collected some of his choice originals in the upcoming Epic & Blues EP, which drops as a continous mix July 23 over at his Facebook.

Leading up to the release, Olugbenga will be giving away a free song every day of the week at a number of different sites. Today we have "Love Is The Devil In The Details," the opening track on Epic & Blues. Olugbenga explains the tune:

"One stand that ties together all the music I love is emotional commitment. Whether it's metal, gospel or Autechre-style electronic music, I respond to music that communicates absolute belief on the part of its creators. With Epic & Blues I felt like I'd finally reached the point where I could convey some of my belief and emotional commitment through my production.

["Love Is The Devil In The Details"] was actually the final [track] to be completed and it balances my love for both positivity and melancholy in music. I also wanted to start the EP with something that referenced a bunch of the other songs - so if you listen closely, you'll hear snatches and fragments from the tracks that follow. As someone who usually starts putting a track together with the drums, it was fun doing something where the rhythm came from elsewhere"
