Shifting Path – Spectre
“For those who seek the different in music, "Spectre" drifts among IDM, Glitch and Garage. Modern sound arrangement built on vibrating echoes. The vocals bounce and pan around you, while the beat leaves the impression that is something alive.”
-Nagamag.com
Tom & Collins x Francis Mercier – No Me Importa
“Tom & Collins teamed with Francis Mercier for this exclusive House production. Echoing vocals full of an eastern air and quite attractive Techno influences are setting the scene of endless dancing. Hot and addictive result as Summer promises us.”
-Nagamag.com
On this gorgeously transporting slice of organica, Mexican house & tech maestros Tom & Collins team up with Haiti's Francis Mercier, whose song 'Sete' with Blond:ish and Amadou & Mariam was one of the breakout dance tracks of the year, reaching #2 on Beatport, garnering praise in Billboard and play from Pete Tong and Black Coffee. Sure to light up dancefloors from Ibiza to Burning Man and beyond, 'No Me Importa' is out on Realm Records, Gorgon City's bespoke label of quality international floor-fillers.
‘No Me Importa is a great musical balance between Francis’ and our roots.. we tried to put a lot of emotion in the chords and, combined with simple Spanish lyrics, we think it’ll be great for the dance floor and connecting with people's emotions.’ -Tom & Collins
‘I’m fluent in Spanish, and instantly fell in love with this topline. I wanted to share the project with my favorite Latin DJ duo, Tom & Collins, to let as many Spanish-speaking individuals experience the power and lyrical significance of this record - to be proud of one’s eccentricities and not care what others think.’ -Francis Mercier

Sagans – Coherence
“IDM amazing genre. This is an uncompromising journey to other worlds, with its own laws of sound synthesis. All that must be done before listening is to throw out all existing thoughts out of your head and completely immerse yourself in the boundless bowels of this track. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“IDM удивительный жанр. Это бескомпромиссное путешествие в иные миры, с его собственными законами синтеза звука. Всё, что необходимо сделать перед прослушиванием, это выкинуть из головы все существующие мысли и полностью погрузиться в безграничные недры этого трека.”

Employ AI technology to create otherworldly visuals for 'Coherence'
Enigmatic multi disciplinary creative collective known as Sagans, have employed the use of artificial intelligence technology, to create a stunning, otherworldly Blade Runner-esque music video metaverse for their latest single 'Coherence' due this June.
They say: "The first video is called 'Coherence' and it is about a city that is constantly changing and evolving. The video shows how the city changes over time, and how the character gets lost and adapts to the changes. The video is a mix of different styles using the latest AI algorithms, some latent diffusions but also using a neural-style transfer algorithm, similar to the algorithm used to create the 'DeepDream' images. It's really interesting to see how the AI collective was able to create something so unique, definitely an interesting take on the cyberpunk genre."
About Sagans:
The group known as Sagans is made up of music artists, graphic designers and AI researchers who create music and visuals with the help of artificial intelligence. The group was formed in 2022 and consists of members from all over the world. The AI Collective is dedicated to creating new and innovative ways to create music and visuals, and they believe that artificial intelligence is the key to unlocking new creative possibilities, something that is truly unique and expressive.
Coherence / 3 June
