Josh Wink marks the 300th release on Ovum Recordings with new single ‘Aries in Mars’

Marking the 300th release on his very own Ovum Recordings label, Josh Wink has unveiled new single‘Aries in Mars.’  The record follows an incredible slew of releases with the acid weapon ‘Selecta’ and a reissue of Josh’s Size 9 project, featuring a remix from Eats Everything, released earlier this year.

Utilising deeply atmospheric chord patterns on the track, ‘Aries In Mars’ was influenced by his partner’s astrological observation, “when playing the record for the family at home, my partner stopped what she was doing and started dancing,” explains Josh. “Afterwards she told me how strongly she felt about the track and commented about how it seemed like it was based on my astrological sign of my ruling planet Mars being in my Aries,”  as Josh goes on to explain.

“The track had this strong, powerful, fiery and fierce fast paced animalistic passion. So I went into the studio the next day and added the vocal, switching the two as it had a better rhythmic flow.”

Marking a landmark triple-century of productions on his iconic imprint, ‘Aries in Mars’ arrives just before we enter a year of celebrations in 2019 with Ovum Recordings 25th anniversary at the summit of underground music in 2018.
