Kan Wakan – Shining Bright Truth ft. Rachel Fannan
(Video)

“Discover the mystic character of “Kan Wakan” latest work. Trip-Hop and Indie combination of sounds with strong drum vibrations and gentle vocals. An irresistible trip to alternate realities with many thoughts and pictures from everyday activities.”

-Nagamag.com

Forward thinking LA and UK based producer Kan Wakan has just released his brand new single ‘Shining Bright Truth’. The single is the second installment from his upcoming Album Phantasmagoria, Vol.2.

Opening with a meditative hum and steady drumbeat that feels almost instinctual, “Shining Bright Truth” is a compelling and personal collaboration from Kan Wakan, featuring Rachel Fannan. Fannan, known for her work with UNKLE and Pussy Riot, lends her smoky and emotive voice to the song. Kan creates a complex and unexpected soundscape that engulfs the listener into this mystical journey about an alluring stranger.

When explaining the lyrical context of ‘Shining Bright Truth’ Kan explains that it’s “A note to self about acknowledging the occasional tendency to be insincere with oneself and wander down a delusional, parallel reality. Whether it’s through the lens of social media, or another vessel, it’s about that moment of acceptance. Things get precarious when you sense it’s time to bow out and you begin bartering with yourself, but it feels safer to stay the course.”

Phantasmagoria, Vol.2. will be Kan’s 3rd Studio album to date and will also include previous single ‘Oh Mother’ which already has over 128,000 streams on Spotify alone. He’s now recognized as one of L.A.’s most forward-thinking composers since arriving on the scene with the release of his 2014 LP, Moving On. Since then, he was named as Yahoo! “Best New Artists” and L.A. Weekly also named him in their “The 10 Best Young L.A. Songwriters”. His impressive career has flourished with collaborations alongside Moses Sumney and Thundercat while touring alongside Lianne La Hava and the Arctic Monkeys.

With Kan’s innovative thinking and his progressive production, it allows listeners to sink right into his compelling soundscapes. It is no wonder why he’s one of the most exciting producers around today.

Sissysocks – Augsburg
(Video)

“”Augsburg” is real anti-nightopia in the world of music. It is clearly intertwined by Indie Electronic elements, which are accompanied by a measured rhythm and barely invisible, but very memorable synthesizer melody. 100% dive!”

“-Augsburg- это настоящая антиутопия в мире музыки. В ней отчётливо переплетаются элементы indie electronic, которые сопровождаются размеренным ритмом и едва незаметными, но очень запоминающимися нотами мелодии синтезатора. 100% погружение!”

-Nagamag.com

This song is about looking for things in the wrong places, and making the same mistakes again.

Amaya – Escape
(Spotify)

“The multi-layeredness of this candy titled; -Escape- cannot be left without due attention. 4 minutes of measured and at the same time, dynamic and deeply emotional music is catastrophically a little. Remarkably painstaking work. Bravo!”

“Многослойность этого лакомого пирога под названием -Escape- нельзя оставить без должного внимания. 4 минуты размеренной и, в то же время, динамической и очень эмоциональной музыки это катастрофически мало. Кропотливая работа над каждой составляющей. Браво!”

musclecars – She Raised Us in Sunset Park
(Spotify)

“When different music genres meet, quite interesting results may occur. This is the case here with "Musclecars" fast track. Plenty of acoustic loops are combined in a mix with soft keys, wild guitar chords and many more instrumental sounds. The result lies somewhere between House and Indie Electronic magic!”

-Nagamag.com

https://linktr.ee/musclecars

musclecars, composed of Craig Handfield & Brandon Weems, are staples in NYC’s House scene and beyond through their party-turned-label Coloring Lessons, effervescent sets on The Lot Radio, and increasingly acclaimed productions. Expanding on their debut EP ‘Street Dreams’, the duo returns to toucan sounds with ‘Street Dreams (Deluxe)’, bringing together remixes from London’s K15 and Tokyo’s Dazzle Drums alongside original cuts.

Leading the release, ‘She Raised Us In Sunset Park’ sees the duo offer a fresh take on ‘The Man Who Kept Bedstuy Warm’, bringing a flurry of dense live percussion alongside soaring guitar licks, vibrant horns, and smooth keys. K15 brings wildlife ambiance and gorgeous, soft chords for his take on ‘Sol’, burying the vocals under a bed of dreamy house.

Dazzle Drums takes ‘Sun Track I’ into downtempo territory, reworking Tiff Ortiz’s vocal performance into a delicate and organic affair. Offering two parts to the release, ‘Street Dreams (Deluxe)’ includes a digital three-track release of brand new material alongside a 12” vinyl including the latest works alongside tracks from their 2020 debut.

Native to New York, musclecars is a DJ / Producer duo consisting of Brandon Weems and Craig Handfield. As musicians, they equally share an admiration for the art form. Their desire to blend genres and express their appreciation for music is focused around their community- the end goal is to bring people together. Through a regular stream of high quality mixes, they have begun to turn heads in underground circles.

In 2018 they launched ‘Coloring Lessons’, a party that was aimed to add value to their city’s nightlife culture. While the party and sound is not genre specific, it is heavily focused around house, disco, jazz, and soul, embracing the musical elements of their black and brown ancestors. The monthly party's intention is to bring New York City's dance music scene back to what it was during the golden era of NY nightlife. They aim to spread the music that has been influential to them, and share it with a younger generation of their peers.

Sup? – I Quit
(Spotify)

“Sometimes, excessive drama in music does not allow relaxing. -I quit- boldly recommended for everyone who loves to pass their evenings with the cozy flame of candles. The arrangement is so well chosen that the picture of the night city in the shade of a warm summer evening is drawn. One more decent piece for the track collection of your player.”

“Порой, излишний драматизм в музыке не позволяет расслабиться и отдохнуть. -I Quit- модно смело рекомендовать всем, кто любит скоротать свои вечера под уютным пламенем свечи. Аранжировка так удачно подобрана, что перед глазами рисуется картина ночного города в тени тёплого летнего вечера. Достойное место в коллекции вашего плеера. ”

-Nagamag.com

NYC Electronic Duo Sup? provide a glimpse into a bold new future with plans to release all their music as exclusive NFT's, starting with debut single "I Quit", a quirky, danceable jam showcasing the project's state-of-the-art production and tongue-in-cheek humor. Sup? was formed by long-time buddies Guy Zalaxy and Bucky Skullet who 'harness the power of true friendship to create sounds that soothe your soul.'

From the Artist:

"I Quit. Two words we have all wanted to say about so many different things this past year. Society has always tried to reinforce the idea that quitting is weak, and that there is something inherently bad about a Quitter. This track is a triumphant ode that flips that notion on its head, and celebrates the empowerment one feels when they take control of their own destiny. Quitting something that no longer serves you is an important step in the journey of life. These are the victorious sounds of Quitting that thing you no longer need.

The release will take place virtually, in the "Metaverse". We've opted to to deliver our genesis record in the NFT format, which feels appropriate considering cryptocurrency and decentralization has offered financial freedom to so many, and has actually enabled many people to Quit their jobs or previous lifestyles. If you are holding a crypto bag, this one is for you."

How to obtain the NFT:

There will only ever be 100 copies of this record for sale, here: https://opensea.io/collection/sup-i-quit

All owners of the 'I Quit' NFTs will also be able to claim:

Access/Tickets/Passes to all of our live (and virtual) shows and events, in perpetuity.

A Founders Collection print of all future records.

Twiceyoung – A Place For Us
(Spotify)

“We call "home" the place where we usually live, but is this our real home? Sometimes the mind travels away and we dream of a different world. "A Place For Us" is the song that describes this fact. Light electronic waves of sound and elusive singing voices, which guide our senses to somewhere else.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words behind his inspiration for this song:

"This was the first song completed for my debut full-length album. Heard these words on a walk in the middle of the night last Spring while doing some soul searching. I was uncertain where to go and what was home. This song is about finding where you belong -- finding home with the one you love." - Twiceyoung
