A collaboration from two of the scene’s most innovative artists, Jeff Montalvo, aka. Seven Lions, joins forces with Anjunabeats young gun Jason Ross for "Higher Love," featuring the vocal talents of MUTEMATH’s Paul Meany.

Responsible for some of the finest reworks in the Anjunabeats catalogue, Seven Lions’ experimental approach transformed the likes of Above & Beyond’s “You Got To Go” and Velvetine’s "The Great Divide" into modern cult classics. His first original release on the label aligns him with a mainstay of the Anjunabeats roster, Jason Ross, whose ear for uplifting melodies and polished club records has turned him into a global star in 2016. 

Originally connecting for Jason’s remix of Seven Lion’s smash “Creation,” the two quickly realized the relationship could grow further. “This collab with Jason was probably one of the quickest and smoothest I've ever worked on,” said Jeff. “It started out with a really simple piano melody that you hear in the middle and then we just started building on it over a few weeks. All through email but we would be working on it at the same time and constantly sending updates. I think it was a really fun collab, really excited about how it turned out.”

"It was amazing to see how quickly the rest of track took shape," described Jason, "working with Jeff was a breeze and felt completely natural. We really trusted each-other's creative sense and just built on idea after idea. We knew at the start that we wanted a powerful track that displayed both of our styles, and we think we did just that.”

They were then left to find the perfect vocal. Insert Paul Meany from MUTEMATH, a veteran talent with a keen indie sensibility who was immediately drawn to the tune. "There are certain tracks that just pull melodies and lyrics right out of you whether you're ready or not,” described Paul. “Seven Lions and Jason dialed this one in perfectly for where I love to go as a singer. I’m so honored to be a part of this song.”

Debut Release from AORTAPROJECT 
Written and performed by Steven Sheffield 
Mix & Mastered by Ashton Nagle

I'm digging a little deeper and putting more depth into the descriptions here. I'm not promoting SC, so if you're taking the time to read this then here is the extra others won't see. This was the last song created for Dark Secrets. The entire process had few, but strict rules: only two weeks per song. Choose sounds within 5 like choices, use only a laptop/headphones, and work at least 2 hrs every night. It is heavily influenced by Streetfever - Afflictions EP and Pertubator - Dangerous Days. The song did have vocals, but unfortunately they were never finalized. I hope one day it will surface. While composing this track,  I intentionally used an absurd amount of risers to see how many I could get away with. 

Instruments: Waves-Element, Serum, & Alchemy. 
Composed in Logic Pro X 10.1.4

If matter is neither created nor destroyed, aortaproject turns it from one form to another. A catalyst for catharsis, aortaproject transforms our darkest moments into transcendent epiphanies of self expression and reflection. 

Rooted in the murky tumult that is Texas, aortaproject is the result of a ten year musical cultivation and inspiration journey by project leader, producer, multi-instrumentalist and composer, Steven Sheffield. A founding member of Recovery Room and collaborator for WE HAVE A GHOST, S.S. has always favored spirit over composition and collaboration over recognition. Always working to create something more than the sum of its parts, with his latest release he joins like-minded vocalist Allanah Jackson, the ever-elusive, ever-evocative, shapeshifting songstress otherwise known as Imitara. 

Dwelling in a volatile vulnerability that cuts with Reznor-like authority and lacing reality with subtle intricacies in the vein of Jon Hopkins, aortaproject assembles compositions with free flowing movements of intoxicating emotion. Deep bass, fragile melodies, and powerful climaxes intertwine and perforate to sculpt a life-like landscape of cinematic narratives. It is dark, alternative electronica at its best.
