Cosmyte présente son second EP "Pyramyte Dream Side" sur Hadra AlterVision Records. Des entrailles de Mâmu, mi Buffalo, mi Arachnée, jaillissent perpétuellement des Mondes Parallèles. Des bulles de Rien contenant le potentiel du Tout.
Continuant notre exploration sensorielle dans ce second ep, c'est dans le rêve que nous nous ressourçons. Cet état alternatif de conscience et sa fluidité erratique est tout aussi vital que son binôme éveillé. Par leur rencontre, et la relation tissée avec foi de l'un à l'autre, nous découvrons l'espace qui réside entre les choses : le Monde Interstice !

Continuing our sensory exploration in this second ep, it is in the dream that we recover. This altered state of consciousness and its erratic fluidity is just as vital as its awaked buddy. Through their reunion, and the relationship woven with faith from one to the other, we discover the space that lies between things : the Interstice World !

Independent jazzfolk artist Eve Adams follows her captivating "You're Not Wrong" single with her newest offering "A Walk In The Park," due out next week. As a captivating writer from Los Angeles who heralds the undying influence of 20th century Americana music, her folk-noir sound tells stories of "dark, domestic dramas unfolding behind closed doors, equal parts violence and romance."

"Just like a walk in the park, we can go on and on," Adams croons in the opening line of her new single. Delicate and naive vocals are accompanied by a jazzy bass line, dramatic, tumbling organ and hazy percussion. The song seems to creep in from down a dark hallway, where a woozy pair of high heels tap on the sticky linoleum floor. Eve questions fate in this new track and shares, "Romance can be such a perfect distraction. It's a shame it doesn't last."

"To me, this song is about escaping into the fantasy of a new romance. Like the feeling of getting to know someone new, walking around in the dark, with nothing but the night to notice," she adds.

Eve spent her formative years traveling to and from her family farm in the tiny town of Colcord, Oklahoma. Inspired by the pastoral landscapes and the nuanced characters she grew up around, her whimsical tales depict a world that is familiar yet surreal, haunted by apparitions.

Eve's coming of age coincided with her departure to Montreal at the age of 18. A fortuitous meeting with saxophonist Military Genius led to the recording of her first album "In Hell" (2017)- Part I of their "Divine Romance" trilogy. While writing Part II, the blossoming creative relationship was cut short when Eve had to return to California due to a family crisis. During this time of uncertainty, Eve self-produced and released her second album "Candy Colored Doom" in 2019.

In the emotional wake of a tragedy, Eve rejoined Military Genius in Vancouver to finally complete the long-awaited Part II.

Autogénesis refers to the process by which a subject is created by itself: a musical exploration of how a single instrument can lead to multiple atmospheres, from string-like textures to fragmentary sonorities, all of which originates from a piano recording. This approach to music composition was inspired by the decision-making process, and how the decisions we take determine what we actually are. Together with the song, a videoclip with two contemporary dancers is being produced, where the same ideas are translated into movement and light. The piece is aimed not only at a wide audience of listeners in the search of inner calm and inspiration, but also serve as a stand-alone artwork in museums and galleries.

Daniel Blacksmith is a spanish composer and multi-instrumentalist.

After ten years working in recording studio as audio engineer and music producer he release his first album "Química y Contexto: Destino".

Taking cues from the heady precision of Bonobo, the meditative quality of Burial and emotional resonance of The Field, Jacana People return with their most refined piece of work to date, ‘Imari’. Following a dynamic first 10 months together, Jacana People gained early access to the million-stream club, landing tastemaker & editorial support from the likes of Anjunadeep, Apple Music, Spotify, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio and a #1 Hype Machine slot - on their first three releases since forming.

Jaguar, BBC Radio 1, ‘If you like your Bonobo, your Four Tet and your Tourist…you’re gonna like this a lot’

Constructed around thoughts of escapism and change - ideas and ideals that 2020 has given significant weight to - ‘Imari’ conjures an abstract location from which colourful and hopeful narratives emerge. Driven by warped and delicate vocal chops this forthcoming single connects the physical with the emotional, thanks to a backdrop of vibrant synths and cascading percussive textures. Confident in its sonic identity, ‘Imari’ emits a quiet energy from which mesmeric harmonies take the listener to a place of respite, where dusty beat loops and repeated synth pads mirror life’s circular patterns.

Jacana People have firmly positioned themselves amongst the new wave of UK electronic artists in the ascendance, including Barry Can’t Swim, Effy, TIBASKO, 1-800 Girls, and TSHA borne out through collaboration and remix duties as well as landmark releases. ‘Imari’ marks a new phase for these long- standing friends, bookending their first year together as Jacana People. - Lie to Me
