Wow, Amazing! 6 years have passed from the last time i visited this page, the world have changed for the worst (so far) but this track just takes me back to that Idyllic (& Idealistic) state of mind. ( I was I thinking I was not happy then...?) Straight to the ❥❤︎♡

Having two previous full length albums to his name, including the highly revered Blue Book, he's just launched his much anticipated third LP, Oasis Sky, April 30th on his own imprint, Eleuthera Music. Coinciding with this stunning release, it's an honour & pleasure to welcome Vancouver-based artist Tor as our very special podcast guest for May with this classy, lush, & quite visceral journey showcasing much of his own productions from the new album. The perfect beginning to our new week ahead.

Tor is a DJ/producer hailing from Vancouver who’s consistently released his signature brand of electronic music since 2011. His debut 10-track LP, Drum Therapy, released on Loci Records arrived in 2012 and in 2016, his sophomore album Blue Book was released via the same imprint & both would go on to gain over 20 million combined hits across all platforms to-date. Over time, he’s graced the stages at some of the world’s most renowned events and festivals, like Electric Forest, Lightning in a Bottle, Shambhala, Envision, Basscoast, Oregon Eclipse, & The Do Lab stage at Coachella to name a few.

After busy periods of making music & touring, the newfound sense of home & permanence now felt by Tor can be heard throughout Oasis Sky. Set to release on own imprint, Eleuthera Music, the new album marks an exciting new point for the acclaimed electronic musician.

OASIS SKY
Oasis Sky is Tor’s first original body of work since his revered 2016 album, 'Blue Book'. It expands on the latter’s meditative energy with the producer’s signature warmth and beat-driven atmospherics, while digging deeper into the experiences and emotions that have informed the past 4 years of his life. From a hefty touring schedule that saw the Vancouver-based producer playing his music across the U.S., E.U., Australia, & Costa Rica, in addition to busy periods of time spent working on remixes for artists including Clozee, Odesza, and Rüfüs Du Sol, the album only began to come into focus after slowing down, establishing roots, finding centre and introspection in a new living space.

"For me, this album is a reflection on my sense of home....it's a highrise apartment, looking out over rooftops, trees, and mountains. It’s filled with plants and flowers, and to me, it feels like an oasis in the sky.” Eliciting this otherworldly feeling of an oasis in the sky, lead single, 'Foxglove' arrives as a vibrant exploration of melody and rhythm, featuring bittersweet piano and warped keys alongside sliding bass and clattering hi-hats. Parallel to these new expeditions in synthesis and sound design, sampling continues to play an important part in his process and throughout the album, Tor has pulled from an eclectic palette: textures and snippets from Finnish folk hymns, spiritual jazz, prog rock, ‘60s Rwandan field recordings, early ambient & experimental records all add a distinctive depth to the album’s 10 tracks.

The release of “Oasis Sky” & Tor’s reflections of home come after being on the move for much of his upbringing & early adult life, as his family moved between W. Canada, Montréal, & Australia before finally  Vancouver. This kinetic lifestyle would continue with his blossoming career as a musician, taking him off touring the world while balancing day jobs and side gigs. With the world slowing down due to the ongoing global health crisis, he was able to find inspiration in the newly found time and space, removing distractions and finding stillness to hone in on the themes & inspiration that would define this new album.

The impression of home & grounding is also expressed in the album’s series of striking floral artwork, created by Portland-based artist, Slater Knight. 'Oasis Sky' lands April 30th on vinyl & digital formats.

Space Medicine is the practice of Deep Organic Music on astronauts in outer space. Tremulant is the application of science and technology to the prevention or control of exposure to the hazards that may cause space wanderers ill health. Tremulant works to ensure that people in space work in a safe environment while experiencing the freshest sounds from planet Earth.

"I've long loved the intersection of music that is at once melodic, dark and fucking weird while still holding a groove. One of the bizarre silver linings about lockdown life was rediscovering this passion, particularly at slower, spacious tempos. So I couldn't possibly turn down the opportunity to throw together a mix for Tremulant exploring where their deeper, downtempo house vibes meet my global, radicalized acid explorations."

Tacoma, WA-based DJ/producer Devin Kelly (AKA Adlib) has been an unwavering techno activist for over 25 years. Whether it was through his humble beginnings in small town Idaho or his decade-plus residencies with the Shameless (Seattle) and Monkey Do (Los Angeles) DJ crews, he has long been at the center of the region’s dance music underground. His mixture of heady yet crowd rocking house and techno cuts earn him regular headlining spots at clubs, renegade parties and festival across the Western US and beyond. But he is best known for his co-creation of the legendary Esthetic Evolution music and arts festival and his long career as a political and community organizer. These backgrounds bring a sense of collective empowerment, resistance and celebration into all of his DJ sets and events. His newest project, “For Love and Struggle,” uses music, community and social commentary to bridge these worlds, because there are 33 revolutions on the turntable and one in the streets.

So I'm determined to start making this into a monthly Podcast of sorts. New Music I dig and I want to share with you. This first encarnation of it is called ATARAXIS which is the absence of stress, peace of mind...  I'm usually in my center with music.
For me, music is one of the biggest and better stress relievers. So I hope you enjoy it.  As always I always love and welcome your thoughts and comments!

"Pronoia is the antidote for paranoia. It's the understanding that the universe is fundamentally benevolent. It's a mode of training your senses and intellect so you're able to perceive the fact that life always gives you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it."
