Sunfear, the project of Istanbul-based multidisciplinary artist Eylül Deniz, debuts on Dark Entries with Octopus. Since 2017, Deniz has been working as a composer, performer, and DJ, with a focus on different facets of ambient, jazz, and experimental music. Deniz is deeply steeped in both music theory and history. She explores electroacoustic techniques, utilizing piano, guitar, voice, and synthesizer. These are her tools for self-expression, the means to tell her story to the world.
Octopus is a rumination on loneliness, memory, and Deniz’s childhood fondness for aquatic creatures. The ten songs on the album are static and turbulent, mournful and optimistic, grounded and otherworldly. A field recording of a gently flowing stream undergirds instrumental album opener “Dokun”. The stream begins by soothing us, but as tension builds throughout the song, its presence becomes unstable, uncanny. On “I Don’t Know Why I’m Crying”, a repeating motif serves as the canvas for Deniz’s majestic, reverberant voice. While the source of sorrow remains unknowable, her catharsis is pure and real. The penultimate track, “Octopus”, breaks into an unexpected trip hop-esque beat, which only enriches the album’s introspective terroir. With Octopus, Deniz gently guides the listener to places unknown.

Max Cooper - Origins (Throwing Snow Remix)

Project Gemini’s critically acclaimed second album 'Colours & Light' gets a fresh deluxe edition release, containing a brand-new, unreleased original track from the album recording session, alongside two new versions of tracks that featured on the original LP. Not stopping there, Project Gemini aka Paul Osborne has hand-picked a selection of remixers to reimagine tracks from 'Colours & Light’. 

Hailed as a "Kaleidoscopic psych-funk opus” by Uncut Magazine, 'Colours & Light' brought together the worlds of folk rock, psych soundtracks and hazy cinematic funk, in a signature style that Project Gemini is becoming revered for. Its relatable themes were plagued and fed by insomnia, nourished by relationships, entwined in emotions, nights out, nights in and the after-effects on the human condition. Yet these were seen through a soundscape that took in many different cultures and scenes. From acid folk to psych-funk, Francophile elements to Anatolian and Eastern inspirations, all interlocking and rotating as one.
 
For this deluxe edition, Paul includes ‘Darkness Rising’ a wah-wah guitar fuzzed, sonic fusion of synths, percussion and bass heavy, psychedelic brilliance, recorded during the original album sessions but previously unreleased.
