This new album will transport the listener into a journey of introspection. 
I wrote this album during the pandemic lockdown. I was very much influenced by the raw energy that emanated from trap music. It was a dark time for me to go through and the lyrics I wrote on this album were very much in general a reflection of my state of mind and also a commentary on socio-political issues in the world we're living in.

“Nobody”

(Music &Lyrics by Colin Crichton)
(Produced by Gauthier Matherat &Colin Crichton)

CHORUS

I think there is nobody, that cares enough anymore.
Masked, brainwashed, I’m lost in my thoughts.
I need to lift myself up, to keep afloat, stop my dreams.
From sinking this boat, should I get a vaccine?

VERSE 1

I think our society is lost in a motion.
 All moving too fast to express our emotions.
Alone with my computer, I wish I didn’t feel those dark force.
Distorting my mind, coming back all the time. 
Alone in a nutshell, in the darkest of hell.
I wish I could find my, Michelle ma belle. Yeah!
Loosing myself and my key, but I’m tired of walking alone, talking to myself home.
Alone in my bed with no-one else to hold.
Tight against my warm body, in the winter cold.
I am so close to ringing her back, even though she was jealous, 
unstable, high on prozac.
I tried to help her, get back on her feet, 
but she would go mad, confused, fucked up in the heat.
Now, it’ s just me and the music keeps me going, 
with a fix of vitamins that keep me flowing. 

CHORUS

I feel there is nobody, who gives a shit anymore.
Masked, brainwashed, I’m lost in my thoughts.
I need to lift myself up, to keep afloat, stop my dreams.
From sinking this boat, should I get a vaccine?

VERSE 2

I am a ticking bomb ready to detonate
Stuck in a society in dire straits.
Paranoia, fulled by extremes of desires
Masked, brainwashed with only a blink of the eye.
I’m glad I haven’t got a gun.
I could have surely ended all if I had one.
Still, alone in bed at night
I’m trying not to think about her.
Got no will to live, but haven’t got the strength to die yet.
Thank god for my mama and my sisters.
Without them it would be harder than ever.
Watching for each other, in the moments of needs.
Family values, we’ll keep planting the seeds.

CHORUS

I feel there is nobody, who gives a shit anymore.
Masked, brainwashed, I’m lost in my thoughts.
I feel, I need to lift myself up, to keep afloat, stop my dreams.
From sinking this boat, lost in my thoughts.

Nobody

“Pick it up”

(Music &Lyrics by Colin Crichton)
(Guitar by Eric Renwart) 
(Produced by Gauthier Matherat &Colin Crichton)

CHORUS

Starve the ego feed the soul, starve the ego feed the soul…

Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…
Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…

VERSE 1

Contradiction of a nation, following the constitution.
I believe that you are not, aiming to live up your dreams,
Satisfied with the lies, you stop asking yourself why? but why? but why?
Am I living this way, but I am dying inside.
Just look around, can you see? Is this the place to be.
I am stuck between the darkness and the light in a space in a dream,
In a space in between, in a space in a dream, in a space in between.
The darkness and the light, starve the ego feed the soul…

CHORUS

Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…
Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…
Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…

VERSE 2

I woke up in a city, didn’t know where to go.
Lost within my thoughts, I was higher than the sun.
The peace we need, me, myself and I for first.
The next will come on and on in time.
Don’t rush, precipitated the moment divine.
Floating like a seagull, overlooking from high above.
I predict a storm, I predict a riot, I predict a lie.
Falslehood of mankind.
Your politics are selling the disease of a nation.
Swallow that pill, be a man ready to kill.
Wave your flag in the air and pretend that you mean it.
I’m lost for words for the stupidity of mankind.
One would hope that men will learn,
From the past, the wars and the tribulations.
One would hope that men will learn.
From the power of love we will build this nation…
From the power of love we will build this nation…

CHORUS

Starve the ego feed the soul

Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…
Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…
Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…
Now’s the time to pick it up
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…
Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…
Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…
Now’s the time to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up…
On the dollar telephone, telephone, telephone…

“West Goes the sun”

(Music and Lyrics by Colin Crichton)
(Guitar by Eric Renwart) 
(Produced by Gauthier Matherat &Colin Crichton)

CHORUS

Caught in the sound and the music, my heart bounces every beat.
Making up for the lost times, I glorified my crimes.
Memories seem to be the same, again I’m lost in the game.
West goes the sun, oh… I’m picking you up, let’s go!

VERSE 1

Obnibulated by the rise and falls, only a fool can pretend he knows it all.
Magnified by the gratitude I have for living a life fully consumed.
I fell many times, but rose back again. Again and again and again and again.
I’m living for those moments of steady rise and dread the times when I fall from the skies.
Got myself a seatbelt and a safety net, for those dramatic falls, I can cope with it.
It happens less than it use to be, I guess I’m copying better than ever with the mechanisms.
I venture now on these new avenues. Avoiding those that left me broke and played the goons.
I developed a defence mechanism, protecting myself from those criticism.

CHORUS

Caught in the sound and the music, my heart bounces every beat.
Making up for the lost times, I glorified my crimes.
Memories seem to be the same, again I’m lost in the game.
West goes the sun, oh… I’m picking you up, let’s go!

VERSE 2

I guess I am more the wiser, elevated by desire.
I stop wasting like a looser, trapped in my imagination.
I need to find a motivation, draw the line, set boundaries between reality and dreams.
Looking forward to the moments.
Took for granted if you ask, wasted, hiding with a mask.
Mistakes are written in the past. Feeling like a new beginning.
Hearts broken in the way, it wasn’t fair to run astray.
Wasn’t something to be proud of, now I look at it from above.

CHORUS

Caught in the sound and the music, my heart bounces every beat.
Making up for the lost times, I glorified my crimes.

VERSE 3

Young, fearless, careless free. With addictive personality.
Today I look at life from a totally different angle.
I’ve grown into someone new. Respectable that is true.
Respecting myself first, then others around me second.

CHORUS

Caught in the sound and the music, my heart bounces every beat.
Making up for the lost times, I glorified my crimes.
Memories seem to be the same, again I’m lost in the game.
West goes the sun, oh… I’m picking you up, let’s go!

The music…glorified my crimes…

West Goes the sun

“Daydreaming”

(Music &Lyrics by Colin Crichton)
(Produced by Gauthier Matherat &Colin Crichton) 

CHORUS

Stop dreaming. Stop daydreaming.
Stop dreaming. Stop daydreaming.
Stop daydreaming.

VERSE 1

Time catches on, am I getting any wiser?
Young guns, out there living forever.
Our lives are so different you changed so much.
You shine behind upper-class attire I’m out of touch.
I try to stay humble, keep a fight without a fuss.
Not let my cookie crumble before I go crazy.
For sure, I could wear expensive flair.
I could show off, but do I really care?

CHORUS

Stop dreaming. Keep moving.
Stop daydreaming. Keep moving.

VERSE 2

Find yourself knee deep in the depth of hell.
I can’t remember sometimes, can you ever tell?
Got me thinking ‘bout our love, it was so deep.
I keep on reminiscing ‘bout your perfect body.
Your smile, your eyes, I’m stuck anti-clockwise.
Left me in a mess, I keep reaching for the stars.
I hope we meet again before my after life.
need to get you out of my head, before I go crazy.

Before I go crazy…

…keep moving… 
stop daydreaming…
keep moving…

VERSE 3

I wanna turn the page,
Step into my next phase.
I’m frozen in time, 
I reminisce about our lives.
We often take for granted, 
but in hindsight it was perfect.
I need to move on quick,
Find somebody else,
Get with it.

CHORUS

Stop dreaming. Keep moving.
Stop daydreaming. Keep moving.
My heart skipped a beat.
Stop dreaming. Stop dreaming.
My heart skipped a beat.
Stop daydreaming.
Need to readjust, put a cross on the past.
Stop dreaming. Dreams…
Keep moving. Keep moving man…
My heart skipped a beat.
Stop dreaming. Keep moving.
My heart skipped a beat.
Stop daydreaming.
Need to readjust, put a cross on the past. Past…

Daydreaming

“Awake”

(Music &Lyrics by Colin Crichton)
(Produced by Gauthier Matherat &Colin Crichton)


I feel awake when the sun goes down, 
the sun goes down…


CHORUS

Woke up naked from the truth,
Light headed waiting for the sundown.
I can see the night owl,
I feel awake when the sun goes down.
Woke up blinded by the lights,
Light headed waiting for the sundown.
The night owl has disappeared.
I feel awake when the sun goes down.

VERSE 1

I find it hard to concentrate,
days are shorter listening to Drake.
If I wanna catch a glimpse of daylight,
I gotta get up early, get back in the fight.
Night owl or not, I still feel the music.
Always on my mind, forever writing new lyrics.
Until I taste the grapes of wrath.
The books I read and read paved my path.
Some more than others, I guess that is normal.
Finding inspiration on my daily explorations.
I wanna be a true original, a criminal.
Committed to Public Enemy principles.
Can’t hide behind a facade of fakeness.
I am for real and not for slackness.
My words and music are a true expression,
of what I really am in an honest fashion.

CHORUS

Woke up naked from the truth,
Light headed waiting for the sundown.
I can see the night owl,
I feel awake when the sun goes down.

VERSE 2

Believing in a power reigning above us
Watching over us, every single speck of dust.
Besos cashes billions entire catalogue
Capitalist dreams of our day to day streams.
Ready to be ordered, delivered promptly.
At a click of a fingertip I’m ready to reorder.
Ding Dong, Amazon, reliable and prompt.
Material wealth never seems to be good enough.
Love oneself to stay balanced forever.
I am a trapezist in a world of ether.
Surprised again at the perfect couple,
We once knew weren’t so perfect after all.
All and all we’re humans with animal instincts.
You’re feeling judged and oppressed to admit it?
Your libido might eventually come in the way.
Causing conflicts in a complex society. 

CHORUS

Woke up naked from the truth,
Light headed waiting for the sundown.
I can see the night owl,
I feel awake when the sun goes down.
Woke up blinded by the lights,
Light headed waiting for the sundown.
The night owl has disappeared.
I feel awake when the sun goes down.
Woke up naked from the truth,
Light headed waiting for the sundown.
I can see the night owl,
I feel awake when the sun goes down.
Woke up blinded by the lights,
Light headed waiting for the sundown.
The night owl has disappeared.
I feel awake when the sun goes down.

I feel awake when the sun goes down.
I feel awake when the sun goes down.

Awake

“Up &Down”

(Music &Lyrics by Colin Crichton)
(Produced by Gauthier Matherat &Colin Crichton)


Up and down the elevator
I’m gonna win your heart’s desire yeah
Up and down the elevator

VERSE 1

Going up and down in an elevator won’t stop.
Until we reach the equator
Pick up the pieces of a giant puzzle, 
flicking those shapes like you just don’t care. 
What you make of it is all but yours,
But you can’t escape the truth it really hurts.
Your mama was hipster, your dada was looser.
Mama won’t kill those vibes with da manoeuvre.
With big puff of smoke that will make you choke.
Go fetch the hype up in the skies.
Shaking those badass sexy hips and thighs to the beat,
The beat, the beat of the night yeah! 

CHORUS

Up and down the elevator,
I’m gonna win your heart’s desire. 

VERSE 2

Got no time to waste with the bad vibration.
My mind is set on permanent vacation.
Round shapes, big bounces to the rhythm.
With da mama party tonight to the algorithm.
Young gangs, teased by the sexy moves.
Crack the code to the infectious grooves.
Sucker for the humps and the killa moves.
It will wake, shake the earth and make the news.
I’m like a Roger rabbit looking for my Jessica.
I wouldn’t usually do it with a cartoon character.
Jessica’s framed the Roger rabbit.
Roger, Roger, oh yeah, I got it!
Well oh well he ain’t to blame.
Keep shaking those humps big mama Kane.
The boys in the hood try to act so cool,
As you flick your lashes and shake the moves. Yeah.


CHORUS

Yeah. Up and down the elevator,
I’m gonna win your heart’s desire. Yeah.
Up and down the elevator,
I’m gonna win your heart’s desire.
Attention on you big mama hipster.
I am the gangsta that will win your heart’s desire. Yeah.
Attention’s on you big mama hipster.
Keep shaking those humps big mama Kane! Yeah.
I am the gangsta that will win your heart’s desire. Yeah.
Up and down the elevator. 
‘gonna win your heart’s desire.

DOPAMINE Remixes

DOPAMINE (Tim Reaper Remix)

Galactic Whispers

Katrin Souza - Cactus Blossom (Original Mix)

“…unique sonic identity” (Run The Trap), “…a signature sound that commands attention" (Magnetic Mag), "...unique force on the scene" (EDM Sauce), “Contemporary and timeless…a tour de force of electronic music”, “A rising star in the electronic music scene” (Goathead Records), “Canguru has crafted a masterpiece” (dailymusicspin.com)

These are just a few review highlights from the electronic artist.

As a record producer, singer, rapper, saxophonist, video maker or painter: CANGURU is the embodiment of the DIY spirit. A canguru with a big bag of surprises! 
In 2022, the music video for his single "Winner Today" was also nominated for the Silver Awards at the 2022 Berlin Music Video Awards. 

CANGURU serves up a unique idiosyncratic style. His many experiences, which led him to this project and its DIY implementation, he collected across various formations and bands, and later as a session player on the saxophone - for the latter instrument CANGURU even has a Master of Arts!

Besides releases with various projects, CANGURU is also known for his collaborations with Hayla, Sarah de Warren as well as session legend Herbie Flowers.

All of this did not come without obstacles, however: During the Corona pandemic, he wrote a Trap/Conscious Hip Hop album in which he raps about personal struggles.

His new single entitled “The Good and the bad” is out now.
