Impossible Beings has been played on NTS in shows including Shanti Celeste, featured first on 4 February 2022. Songs played include Back To The Imbiss and Come With The Imbis.

You may have Impossible Beings nominally pegged as a tech-house act of some repute - Asad and Ravi are both renowned producers and DJs in their own right - but after five years releasing house music's enduring boompty boomp on labels such as Loaded, Turbo, Groovetech & Eukahouse, amongst others, Impossible Beings have moved on; doubling themselves in size and freeing themselves musically in the process.

"We've always had quite a broad spectrum of styles that we wanted to develop that little bit more," admits Asad (26, the quieter, more contemplative foil to Ravi's free spirit).

So despite being signed to The End's label End Recordings (Ravi: "It's been more supportive than I could possibly imagine. I've been waiting for them to tell us to fuck off, but they've been wicked") an Impossible Beings album was never going to be ten tracks of subterranean, late night, deep house madness. "It was always heading towards being a song-based project," proffers Ravi.

Hence the Bosman-style signing of Paul Sng (26, charming and loquacious, though less so than Ravi) after an aborted recording session in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. A former school friend of Ravi's (the pair met working on the school play, 'The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole'; Paul was Adrian, Ravi the pint-sized bully Barry Kent and went onto form teenage angst bands with dubious names like Breed, Grind or Innervision), budding singer-songwriter Paul has bought a dose of classic tunesmithery to the equation and a healthy cynicism towards dance producers roping in rock'n'roll attitude to compensate for their abject facelessness.

"I've always liked bands that made dance music but with songs," he rallies. "Bands like New Order and early Underworld."

And allied to the recruitment of Sng has been the drafting in of Glenn Bridges (25, absent) on bass. "He works for Greenwich council delivering dinners," laughs Ravi. "We call him 'The dinnerman'. Glenn 'The dinnerman' Bridges." "We're a band now," argues Paul, "'cause there's identifiable people involved. All the music will be played by the people in the band."

Thankfully Impossible Beings have the tunes to back up their ballsy rhetoric. New EP 'The Stars & Under' bridges the gap between out and out house and future melody makers beautifully. Lead track 'Dois Polos', featuring the lush vocals of Portuguese chanteuse Raquel Pinto, is all sunset chasing bonhomie whilst 'Through Wires & Air' is a sublimely haunting electronic lullaby. Think the twinkling widescreenarama of Lali Puna and Ulrich Schnauss meets the ramshackle oddity of The Beta Band and Simian with the euphoria of the best house party you've ever been to and you only then begin to grasp the breadth of their towering ambition - for fuck's sake, when did you last see a band who listed Carl Craig and Guns N Roses as influences?

"We're gonna make house music for the rest of our lives," notes Ravi, grabbing the last word as usual. "But I'm bored of making one style of music; it's like working in a factory. I want to get out on a stage with a fucking guitar, riddle the crowd with pills and fucking rock. When I get up on stage there's gonna be vitriol pouring all over the stage."

With the Impossible Beings it really does seem anything is possible…
