Zigi SC - Insomnia

Darkness had enveloped the room for some time now, and yet still its sole inhabitant gazed warily into the void before him. In the colorless light of the night, its character mimicked that of his own mind, filled with anxieties, obsessions, & guilt. The moonlight shone softly through his window, illuminating a pile of unread books at his bedside. He hadn’t studied nearly as much as he should have today. Outside, he could hear passing cars on the street below. No doubt, their drivers were people more industrious than he, working late to improve their lives. Across the room, the fans on his computer hummed gently. Had he really lost a whole day to that machine again?

With each unfortunate waking moment, both room and world seemed to enclose on him. Life was beginning to pass him by. The clock in the hall ticked onwards. He wasn’t making enough money. From a family portrait on the wall, his mother’s eyes stared into his soul. He simply couldn’t fall asleep. The bed rejected him physically, each of the springs in his worn-down mattress pressing uncomfortably into his spine. Dejectedly, the man sat up and stared into the distant dark. INSOMNIA had reared its ugly head once more.

ZIGI SC makes his EATBRAIN debut with INSOMNIA, a three-track EP that follows his previous appearance on the label’s DIVERGENCE V compilation via a collaboration with A-Cray. On INSOMNIA, the Czech producer delivers three tracks sure to energize the label’s horde and keep them dancing wakefully well into the early hours of the morning.
