The Love You Have In You

Lyrics:
BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT

YOU ARE THE MOST FORTUNATE ONE
NO REASON TO BELIEVE
YOU HAVE THE ARMS TO SOUND THE ALARM
BUT YOU DON’T FEEL THE NEED

AM I THE ONLY ONE?
WHERE ARE THE OTHERS?
WHERE ARE THE OTHERS?
I AM THE OTHERS

WHO ARE YOU?
YOU ARE THE MOST FORTUNATE ONE

AND WE HAVE THE BLESSING NOW
(BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT)
NO REASON TO RETREAT
(BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT)
AND WE HAVE THE LUNGS
AND WE HAVE THE AIR TO SHOUT, 
(BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT)
BUT WE DON’T
NO, WE DON’T DARE BREATHE OUT

About the track:
"I Am The Others" explores the relationship between empathy and efficacy. Each of our actions is a vote, expressing the attributes of the world we'd like to inhabit. To everyone besides ourselves, we are the others: the community, the context, the catalysts. 

Our songs often originate from an exploration of a particular sound.  In this case, the resonance of paper vibrating on marimba bars and low piano strings led the way. These intimate sounds were manipulated to create an orchestra, which in turn became the source for the majority of the instrumental material.

I Am The Others

Lost It To Trying (Paper Towns Mix) - Son Lux

HANA EP out March 25

don't be afraid child
the end is not in sight
there is much more road to travel
just stay by my side

like my father and my mother
i will love you for forever
hold my hand and dive now sister
breathe with me underwater

brave and able child
open up your weary eyes
you must not let yourself remain
just swim by my side

and I will watch over you 
and I will be there too
and I will be there for you

Underwater

Robot Koch feat John Lamonica _ Nitesky
taken from the album "the other side"

Berlin producer Robot Koch is back for his third full length release, “The Other Side”.

Although Robot Koch has an international reputation as being "One of Europe`s finest producers of the beat generation" (Low End Theory), he is much more than just a beatmaker… “(Post)-dubstep infused Electronic Hip Hop“ is far too constrained a label to understand what this producer is all about. Instead of following the sound of his previous albums “Death Star Droid” ("Essential listening" - Bobby Friction BBC) and “Songs For Trees and Cyborgs“ ("Music for a modern age that has rarely sounded so good” - Boomkat), Koch takes the genre defying ingredients from these previous records to another level. There still are some of those “Galactic ten ton beats and space age melodies“ (Dazed and Confused) that made the previous albums staple drops in the playlists of Mary Anne Hobbs, Starkey, Daedelus and Gaslamp Killer to name a few, but there is a new dimension to Koch`s production and songwriting that didn’t show on his previous records.

The cinematic vibe of tracks like “Nitesky”, the quirky and moody feel of “Bugs” and the electricity of “Tapedeck” show how Koch more than ever manages to create intimate and timeless pieces of music that are soulful, deep, mysterious and that will appeal to fans of cutting edge Electronica and modern pop music alike. This is the most personal record of Robot Koch to date. Instead of going for big name features Koch teamed up with lesser know artists like Kansas based vocal talent John LaMonica, long time friend and theatre composer Nielson and mexican singer/songwriter Graciela Maria to find the right voices for his compositions. John LaMonica infuses his whimsical and heartfelt melodies that breathe an air of darkness and nostalgia with Koch`s fresh and forward thinking instrumentals to create something that fans of Radiohead, The XX and Jamie Lidell should not sleep on.

”I`m glad John contacted me, we were thinking of collaborating on one song for my album but it ended up being five songs, they were all fantastic and helped me find the right direction for ‘The Other Side’.”

After the release of the John Robinson collaboration album (“Robot Robinson” – Project Mooncircle) earlier this year, it seems surprising how extensive Robert’s output is, but don’t be mistaken, this album is a longer term project than just releasing the songs Koch made in the last year. Some of the songs found on “The Other Side” were made seven years ago.

”I didn’t know what to do with songs like ‘Bugs’ back then. Now it felt like the time has come to release them, they just made sense with of the most recent stuff I’ve been making and it all fell into place. But it was not an easy album for me to make. The previous albums just came together rather quick but this one was a real mission, something I’ve been trying to do for years and I could never really get it together until now.”

Legendary John Peel (BBC) knew in 2003 already when he said about Koch`s productions "Wonderful and strange, pop music from the future“.

Nitesky (feat John LaMonica)

Reemerging in 2017 with four new tracks, Son Lux’s new EP 'Remedy' is the ferocious trio’s response to an ever-encroaching reality of social and political upheaval. Reflective but defiant, Ryan Lott, Ian Chang, and Rafiq Bhatia synthesize their signature unpredictable experimentation into an explosive examination of what it means to live, to create, and to resist in America today. These songs were born the week of the 2016 election, and they capture a band both mournful and refusing to accept the new normal. "How does it feel, to be your own deceiver," Lott whispers in our ears, just ahead of the steady approach of swarming, mechanized woodwinds and rising torrents of noise. "I watch you fall, hollow and depleted. A city razed/raised, to bury you beneath it.”

The EP's final statement is a plea, sung in unison with a crowd-sourced choir of more than 300 people. "Find your voice, in the sea of surging bodies and breath, to form a melody, to find a remedy."

In that spirit, Son Lux will donate all proceeds of the sales of 'Remedy' to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of American society.

'white dove' by Koda

the second single off my upcoming debut album 'i hope this makes us better'

LYRICS: 

white dove
i had him bless these hands just to run you out
give me strength when you run your mouth
i've got a bone to pick
somebody showed you all of the horror you weren't born with it

i had this idlewild feeling in this house
give me truth give me a way out
i've got a home to break
somebody showed you all of the horror
you weren't born with it

you're a silvertongued jackboot thug with
white skin but you're no white dove
and you're scared of us 'cause we show you love
until there's none of us left to love
none of us left to love

i had this feeling that you'd betray me
if i gave too much and you took too much
but here we both stand a gun in your hand
there's blood on the leaves 
there's blood in the sands i
feel his grace slowly running out
give me truth 
give me away out

i've got a bone to pick
somebody showed you all of the horror you weren't born with it
you're a silvertongued jackboot thug with
white skin but you're no white dove
and you're scared of us 'cause we show you love
until there's none of us left to love
none of us left to love

The Love You Have In You
