An homage to Leonard Cohens "You Want It Darker" as a slow, atmospheric and ominous Tech-House Remix.

The original song was written shortly before Mr. Cohens death. The lyrics were his last words to the god he prayed to his whole life. A god who were supposed to be omnipresent and omnipotent and loving, but never answered Cohen's prayers for help. Through his lyrics, it becomes apparent that he made his judgment through suffering. 

"A Million Candles Burning For The Help That Never Came..."

I tried to capture the feeling of the original song to the best of my ability. 

Rest in peace, Mr. Cohen

"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - renowned bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

The GRAMMY-winning engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tchad Blake said: "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green liked Conil's music so much he stopped by Conil’s house to record with him. They recorded a version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats "Round Midnight". 

Strange Part of the Country never conformed to any current trends and has remained timeless. Now, people are discovering this album and it is becoming an all-time favourite. 

When the album was released in the UK, it received some amazing press. Britain's biggest selling music monthly Q magazine gave it: "Four stars - Q Recommends". Blues Matters magazine wrote: "One of the most original artists out there". In the next issue, Blues Matters put him on the front cover.

Conil left London after Strange Part of the Country was released and has spent the last ten years living in the United States and Europe - including New Orleans, New York City, and Berlin.

Hi, I'm Aleks Sashka and I create art out of noise and noise out of art! 

I'd love to do all kinds of different music, but this channel will focus on EDM tracks somewhere between relaxing, groovy House and raw, driving Techno. 

You can expect to hear all kinds of boots and cats - some cats will walk over the Piano hissing, while some boots will stomp through the ground perfect intervals apart. 

Soon available everywhere...
