Nathan Kawanishi x Fletcher Reed – Essential Mystic
“There is no stronger drug in the world than music, and when it is still shrouded in a warm-hop warm wave, then your pleasure has no limit. The wandering melody so gently and harmoniously walks around the stereo that you feel like a fallen star that scattered to the ground with billions of fragments.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Нет в мире более сильного наркотика, чем музыка, а когда она ещё окутана теплой волной chill-hop, то вашему наслаждению нет предела. Блуждающая мелодия так нежно и гармонично гуляет по всему стерео полю, что чувствуешь себя упавшей звездой, которая рассыпалась на землю миллиардами осколков.”

"This mixtape consists of a bunch of unreleased songs that Fletcher Reed and I had laying around," reflects Nathan Kawanishi about the album "Recycled Tape." "We sent them to each other to finish (or salvage), hence the name of the tape. There was really no formula, sometimes only minor tweaks were made and at other times the new track sounds entirely different from the old one. All of the production and mixing roles were also very free-flowing, with both of us alternating on the drums, engineering, and main instruments. The result is a project that hopefully feels very much like an organic mixtape instead of a linear album."

Kazi Jay – Lucid Lullabies
“Each has its own lullaby, and in -kazi jay is in the melodic rhythms of Indie pop and with a rich atmosphere, as if if you plunged into the warm waters of the blue ocean. This track as a living organism is a reasonable, breathing and created as a result of true love.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“У каждого своя колыбельная, а у -Kazi Jay- она в мелодичных ритмах indie pop и с насыщенной атмосферой, словно бы если вы окунулись в тёплые воды голубого океана. Этот трек как живой организм – разумный, дышащий и созданный в результате настоящей любви.”

Artist said about this song?:
"Its as if in one moment, we know exactly who we are, and the next, utter confusion floods our entire projection of the story we believe we are living. I wrote Lucid Lullabies cooped up in my fathers attic where I had to live just after the world shut down in 2020, amid grieving the loss of my mother months before, and while Id love to say those feelings of wondering and the unknown are behind me, its 2022, and "Holding it together just for everybody else," are still the lyrics that find their way into theme of my life when the pressure of being who others perceive me to be bares its weight. I wrote this song to soothe my mind, not putting to much thought into the words, it was always about how the sound of the riffs and sounds flowed out of me that brought me the most comfort. As time as passed, the parables and hidden meaning within the once “thoughtless lyrics” now make more sense to me than ever before. For every listener this song means something very different to them, as there is no definitive way to map out the process of confusion to revelation, but my hope is that it can be a lullaby for them as they navigate through it. ** Written fully by me, as well as I helped co produce this record with Joshua Catalan (Wainona Oak, Caroline Polacheck,) and mixed by Bryan Cooke (Cold Play, One republic) "

Platinum Selling Producer Bradley Denniston Teams Up With Singer-Songwriter, David Nolf For A Fun And Infectious Pop Anthem; “Feels Like Summer”
LOS ANGELES, CA (June 17, 2022) - LA artist’s Bradley Denniston and David Nolf release a new summer anthem with the new, (very appropriately titled) single “Feels Like Summer,” on June 17.
The release comes highly-anticipated as Denniston has already made quite the name for himself in the industry as a platinum selling music producer, singer, engineer, composer, and label head, working on blockbuster movies, Netflix originals, major commercial campaigns, and with multi-platinum artists. David Nolf, having previously played live shows with 3 Doors Down and selling out iconic venues like, Hotel Café in Hollywood, California, looks forward to this second release under the Radium Records label and with Bradley in his production corner.
“Feels Like Summer” is inspired by the nostalgia of those summers when you truly had no worries, life was simple and just being around friends was everything you needed - “It’s that feeling of forgetting about all the work and “real life” stuff you have to do, you can just have fun with your friends and people you care about,” says Nolf.
“Feels Like Summer” is an upbeat, playful showcase of a true collaboration between Denniston and Nolf, with commercial appeal that is sure to make that proverbial “splash” in the pop music scene this summer.
With Grammy, Oscar, and Emmy nominated work already under his belt, Denniston makes sure to put that experience into bringing Feels Like Summer to life with a throwback production aesthetic combined with commercial sonics that the Radium Records team is known for.
Bradley Denniston and David Nolf are joined by some incredible session musicians on the track including Marco Flores on guitars and Eduardo De Oliveira Lima on bass.
“David and I went back and forth with ideas over phone calls and text messages after finishing David’s first single, Heartless with Radium Records… I kept feeling like we needed a song that was fast, fun, and didn’t take itself too seriously… Then David sent me a voice memo with that infectious chorus melody and some scratch lyrics…. I was instantly inspired and had him send me a Logic Pro session right away! It was just pure fun and I couldn’t wait to dive in!” Says Denniston.
The song was Produced, co-written, mixed, and mastered by Denniston and the Radium Records team in Hollywood, California. the single is a testament to a harmonious collaboration, and lots of future earworms to come from these two. Fans can stream “Feels Like Summer” on all major platforms.

Home is a song about packing your things and leaving it all behind, but looking back fondly while realizing you might never have it so good again. The track blends the breezy beachy coastal feel of Maine with the energetic heartbeat of Brooklyn, and was written as an ode to childhood friends, lost loves, and a carefree time that seems further in the rearview mirror with each passing year.
