Berlin's pre-eminent vocal ensemble, ‘A Song For You’ pioneers a new wave of choral music with their debut album ‘Home’.


A Song For You, are a groundbreaking vocal ensemble, uniting over 50 artists from all over the world, led by the visionary collaboration of Noah Slee and Dhanesh Jayaselan. The collective defies any form of categorisation, sitting in a sonic realm somewhere between Neo Soul, R&B and Gospel. A Song For You celebrates the rich tapestry of Berlin's musical landscape while providing a critical platform for underrepresented voices.


Over the last two years the ensemble has caught the imagination of the Berlin artistic community; most notably with their 2022 debut show at the iconic 800 capacity Volksbühne theatre which was an instant sell-out despite the band having only been known through word-of-mouth.


Their dynamic performances and refreshing embrace of choral joy has also led them to fostering creative collaborations with brands such as Levis and Carhartt. The latter of which partly-sponsored a documentary to explore the ensemble's formation as well as the albums recording process at Limusic Studios in Limoux, France, and Brewery Studios in Berlin, Germany.


Working alongside the renowned Berlin-based producer, S. Fidelity, the album features captivating collaborations with artists such as Theo Croker, Annahstasia, Moses Yoofee, Madison McFerrin, duendita, Brother Portrait, Jumoke Adeyanju and more; as well as a vast array of artists that exist within the group such as Noah Slee, Aka Kelzz, Johnny Kulo, MERON, zoudè, Nando The Native, Monica Mussungo, D.$ahin and Lyriya.


Throughout the recording of ‘Home’, A Song For You have sought to define their presence through the term ‘space’: Physically their diverse backgrounds and voices intertwine, creating a cultural space where each individual adds a unique layer to the collective. Spiritually, their music offers a space where feelings and emotions can be freely explored and processed. Harmonically, their voices merge seamlessly, forming a musical space where differences blend into beautiful unity.
“We take up space, we give space, and it’s all to celebrate the beauty of togetherness and connection. We are A Song for You.”


A Song For You continues to make waves with their captivating performances, dedication to amplifying underrepresented voices and commitment to pushing the boundaries of live soulful music and centering BiPOC narratives.


Berlin and now the world eagerly anticipates what A Song For You will bring next. This next step in their journey is surely set to take the world by storm. ‘Home’ represents togetherness, vulnerability & collective joy. ‘Home’ celebrates beauty, the moments where we feel love and finding self through ourselves. Home is you.

A Song For You - Home [LP Preview]

Prismoth  is a laid-back yet hypnotic fusion of funk textures, chillwave synths, and psychedelic grooves, perfect for late-night walks, introspective rides, or simply drifting away. Recorded with minimal processing to preserve its organic warmth. Plug in, tune out.

Prismoth is a genre-defying piece that weaves together dusty lo-fi rhythms, mellow funk basslines, and subtly psychedelic guitar layers.
Its groove is smooth but unhurried, nostalgic yet modern — built for headphone solitude, empty night roads, or late-night creative flow.

PRISMOTH blends smooth low-mid funk bass with airy reverb-soaked guitar textures, recorded at 44.1kHz in a single-take jam session.

Technical Specs:
Tempo: 92 BPM
Key: D minor
Instruments: Fender Jazz Bass (DI), Stratocaster w/ analog reverb pedal, Arturia soft synths
DAW: Ableton Live 11
FX Chain: Tape Saturation → Spring Reverb → Light Compression
Mastered using FabFilter Pro-L2 + gentle EQ shelf at 16kHz

Recorded to preserve analog warmth, dynamics, and stereo imaging.

Ideal for late-night sessions, slow drives, or moonlit thoughts.

PRISMOTH

Dedicated to the late and great J Dilla! R.I.P.

Teaming up in their Old Street studio space and working with various collaborators passing through to eke every last drop of crackling soul from the sample selections, influence can be heard from the big hitters of the golden age of sampling with the likes of Madlib and Dilla threading through the edits.

Bouncing its way from heavyweight classic breaks to laid down chillers, Best Friend lay down the My Name Is Best Friend tape with a healthy portion of groove. Being packed with some classic cuts, the selection is one for all you diggers out there that love a scramble around for some source material.
