Black Lilys – Canary in a Coal Mine – From “Lockdown Experience” – song by Black Lilys | Spotify
(Spotify)

“Some kind of miracle we're seemingly able to see, much closer and more accessible to everyone. The psychic composition -Canary in a Coal Mine- is a glaring example. Currently coming from the world of neoclassical music.”

“Любое чудо, казалось бы, способны видеть немногие, но оно намного ближе и доступно каждому. Душевная композиция -Canary in a Coal Mine- тому яркий пример. Настоящее ископаемое в мире неоклассической музыки.”

-Nagamag.com

Canary in a coal mine, composed during the first lockdown is the soundtrack to the documentary Lockdown Experience directed by the two Ebinum Brothers dancers.

Canary in a Coal Mine refers to an old practice of miners bringing canaries into coal mines to detect toxic gas emanations. As long as the bird continued to sing, the miners knew that their air supply was safe.

The expression means something or someone who acts as an indicator and becomes an early warning of possible adverse conditions or danger.

How many more Canaries in a Coal Mine will it take before we realize that we have gone too far? How many more scientific reports, burnt forests, polluted seas, extinct species, melting glaciers and new viruses before radical decisions are taken to save the life on our planet

Black Lilys is the sweet blend naturally born between Camille’s husky voice and Robin’s sombre guitar melodies. Together, they offer us a strong indie pop with folk nuances, because they love to combine contrasts. Following their EP “Memories of a Blind Mind” released in 2014, the brother sister duo flavours the musical landscape with their sensitive force, inviting us in the intimacy of a rage that does not leave us indifferent. Multiplying their concerts in these past 3 years, their complicity seems even more obvious and their sincerity wins the adhesion of the public.

This first album, powerful and full of emotion, tenderness, at the same time, recalls, in a way, Björk, Ben Howard, The XX or Aurora. However, it is strikingly unique due to the highly modern realization based exclusively on organic sounds. An invitation to a deep introspective voyage, warm and universal.

andreas owens – falling & falling
(Spotify)

“How many times have we felt falling? But we should realize that after a fall, we can only stand up. "falling & falling" describes the difficulty to control passions and obsessions. A meaningful song, which can give back the lost courage to move up again.”

-Nagamag.com

MARCH 19TH, 2021 – Los Angeles-based producer and singer-songwriter andreas owens releases his sophomore single, “falling & falling”, an experimental alternative pop track that samples The Millennial Club’s single, “If You Stay”, and is about our societal addiction to our phones and technology. The song follows the release of his incredibly lauded debut single, “don’t feel happy ◡̈”, which was well-received by outlets like DUMMY Mag, Substream Magazine, and We Found New Music, and landed on Spotify’s editorial playlists: Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: Pop, and Study Break.

“falling & falling”

Though the song has a pop-inspired exterior, underneath it all shines a gutsy surge of unabashed realism. A commentary on society’s addiction to social media and the Internet, andreas owens has crafted an irresistible pop shell with a helpless, all-too-relatable core. Being at the mercy of our own desires, it reveals, on every level, our 21st century disposition to spend more time on our phones than with our friends and family.

Another major theme in the track is the idea of seeing things on our phones that we wish we hadn’t. There’s a sad truth behind the realistic and modern limits to which we can protect our souls. At the end of the day, it’s something we brought upon ourselves due to our learned obsessive nature for attention and social engagement, and while at times it can be beneficial, it too often isn’t.

QUOTES

“The concept behind ‘falling & falling’ alludes to our collective (and my own) societal addiction to our phones. I remember having a conversation with my friends about how we all kinda want to be on our phones less, but still sadly just find ourselves ‘crawling back’ to them every single day. I think we’ve all had similar thoughts, wondering, ‘omfg how is it possible that I’ve been scrolling through TikTok and Instagram for two hours?’”

“Oftentimes, while it’s enjoyable to catch up on friends’ lives and see what they’re up to, these days, I feel like half the time I don’t even like doing that anymore because I’ve created such a negative relationship with social media and the online space. The Internet is more relevant now than it’s ever been, and ‘falling & falling’ is a screenshot of my relationship with it.”

Preethevibes – Like Flies
(Spotify)

“Preethevibes with his new single - Like Flies - into VA Records/PARA Aris imprint please us once more with his solid harmonic vibes and his raucous, wide, sensural vocals.”

-Nagamag.com

Preethevibes opens this song with a cry for social justice in Dance Hall fashion. Jamaican producer Jungle Ratt partners with the group for this Dance Hall anthem against police violence and international injustice. The single is geared to hit Jamaican airwaves within the next month.

https://www.instagram.com/preethevibes/

A combination of heart, mind, body & soul, Preethevibes consists of bandmates PARA, KNGLVN, JUS-Q and MILIO. The NYC based indie group emerges out of a multi-cultured melting pot of sound and visuals, combining the foundations of Jamaican Dance Hall and Ghanaian based Afrobeats with the electronic dance culture of NYC’s Lower East Side.

Their "go against the grain" attitude and defiant vocal styles create the perfect recipe for unheard, undiscovered musical patterns and ear-bending audiences.

The group continues to compose and collaborate as an independent entity, releasing projects such as their debut singles "Good Good", "Get Down" and "New Day". The four man band persists to make an impact on the independent scene as they plan the release of their debut EP.

Madwave – Vooteta – Radio Mix
(Spotify)

“A big surprice for the Trance maniacs is out by Madwave. Special mix with cool intro, gradual progression and supersonic melodies. Profesionally crafted piece with some kind of unexpected power, which will steal your heart.”

-Nagamag.com

Phoenix Recordings, established in 2006 by Switzerland based artists Madwave and Dave Joy.

Tracks and remixes from legends such as Jorn van Deynhoven, Darren Porter, Woody van Eyden, XiJaro & Pitch, F.G. Noise, Ron van den Beuken, Dave202, S.H.O.K.K., Basic Dawn, Mind-X, Sakin & Friends, Raver's Nature, Tommy Pulse and many others...

Initially launched because Madwave wanted to press a vinyl of the anthem of his event brand "SYNERGY". He discussed this idea with Dave Joy, who was already running his own labels "Thrust Groove Records" (Hit: Basic Dawn - Pure Thrust) and "Joyride Recordings" and so they started this adventure together and released the "SYNERGY Anthem 2006" as their first release on the brand new label.

Because of the sudden demise of vinyl sales in 2007, there were only two records pressed ("SYNERGY Anthem 2006" and "Are You Mad?" by Michael Tsukerman), which both are still available. Test pressings of three more releases were made but didn't end up getting pressed. Those treasures are locked away in the Joyride Music vault.

One of the key ideas was also to find hidden talents. The label has been supporting newcomers from the start and has helped to build the profile of many artists who nowadays are in the top league of the Trance scene. After a small output slowdown between 2013 and 2015 the label has regained consciousness and continued to release almost on a weekly basis... up until today.

Tracks were included on legendary CD compilations such as A State Of Trance, Grotesque, Dream Dance, Future Trance, Tunnel Trance Force, D.Trance, Trancemaster, Street Parade Official and countless others and have been supported by pretty much every big DJ. The biggest streaming success so far is by Rasmus Kent - Concussion (Richard Tanselli Remix) with close to 750'000 unique plays. Almost every release/track made it into the Beatport chart in some way (Top100, Hype, Relases). Based on beatstats.com, Phoenix Recordings is listed in the Top 50 of the best selling Trance labels on Beatport (last 12 months).

Some of the most successful releases were "Blinding Lights" (cover version of The Weeknd hit) by Leo van Goch & The Sixth Sense feat. Sevda B, , "Arrival" by Dave202 (picked up by Armin van Buuren/Armada in 2011 for an official mash-up with the acapellas of "Beggin' You" by Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren), "Skywalker" by Simplex D.S.N. (Madwave Remix) and "Göteborg" by James Dust (in Beatport Hype charts for more than a month... nonstop).

The label has also managed to release official remixes of Classic Trance tracks such as "Pure Thrust" by Basic Dawn, "Twinkle" by Tommy Pulse, "Hands Up Ravers" by Raver's Nature, "Love - Freedom - Tolerance" by Mind-X, "Dragonfly" by Sakin & Friends, "Skywalker" by Simplex D.S.N. and "Never Die Alone" by Meriton Celiku.

“Rustling vinyl needle effect, characteristic deep house depth and atmospheric vocal sound samples. The single -Doing All Right- fulfills its name at 100%. Bomat is dictating his carefree, ethereal and almost unearthly mood.”

“Шелест виниловой иглы, характерное для deep house углублённое звучание и атмосферные вокальные семплы. Сингл -Doing All Right- на все 100 отрабатывает своё название, диктуя своё беззаботное, эфирное и почти что неземное настроение.”

-Nagamag.com

Kristine Bratlie
Interview

.


Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Kristine Bratlie:
I like to call my music style a cross over between classical piano music, film, musical and jazz. It stretches in multiple directions, often even inside one song.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Kristine Bratlie:
I am a norwegian classical pianist that developed into a composer, curios about HOW I could reach peoples heart with my music.
My musical education is from academies in Oslo, Norway and Salzburg, Austria (the birthplace of Mozart).
After turning back home, doing concerts and teaching with classical piano literature, I eventually started publishing music, both piano, chamber music and singing.
Now I live in Sweden, in a small town called Aneby.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Kristine Bratlie:
I started to play piano at the age of 9, and had many fine years developing. But what I think gave me that boost, that feeling of joy and meaning was when I began singing (and playing) in a gospel choir at 13. I felt this inspiration from the harmonies, the rhythm, the joy. It became really a manifestation of music in my soul.


Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Kristine Bratlie:
Tiziano Ferro "Lo Stadio"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?

Kristine Bratlie:
Ludovico Einaudi "Una Mattina"
