Urban Substance is the debut EP of the young and promising Deep House / Techno artist Double Trap. This EP is a travel inside the city, revealing its hidden patrimony: the "Substance".

The inspiration came out of an artistic performance "Beat Wall", last year: (www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTM-kV3bVos). After that, Double Trap has worked during months (artistic research, urban sounds recordings and processing), to come out with three tracks that represents this "Substance".

Beat Wall

Un peu d'amour
Un peu de miel
Un peu de soleil pour ses arcs en ciels
Un peu de sable pour ses châteaux
Pour ses dessins des crayons tant qu'il faut
Juste tant qu'il faut

Inspired from a lullaby in the movie "Attila Marcel"

Tant Qu'Il Faut (feat. Frida Tempte)

This is a re-edition of Traveling, a song Frida and I wrote 3 years ago.

It is about how we travel through life, every part expressing different periods: First the youth, then adulthood and finally the old age...

We really wanted to re-make traveling because, when we first made the song three years ago, we had bad tools to record and arrange the song (bad microphone, bad effects, bad software etc...). We though we should give it another life. Re-analyzing the song, we found new ways to re-arrange it, changing the key, adding new textures, using analogic synths... 

Hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:
The birds flying high
We're passing by

Oh we're traveling
Yes we're traveling

The trees and their light
We wake the night

Oh we're traveling
we're traveling

We might get lost
along the coast

Oh we're traveling
we're traveling

We might feel most
of what we lost

Oh we're traveling
we're traveling

Back to the verse
We're going first

Oh we're traveling
My love we're traveling

Pack your tears
We're so feared

Oh we're traveling
My love we're traveling

We might fall
to long love

Oh we're traveling
My love we're traveling

We might call
our first kid paul

Oh we're traveling
My love we're traveling

Feel the sand 
We're at the end

Oh we were traveling
So much traveling

Smell the land 
We're all the same

Oh we were traveling
So much traveling

We might die
see the light

Oh we were traveling
So much traveling

We might shine 
see the light

Oh we were traveling
So much traveling

Traveling (feat. Frida Tempte) (re-edit)

Un jour, je m'en irai le plus loin d'ici
Autour, je mentirai d'une illusion aussi

Un Jour

This song is part of my Demo EP: Pieces
https://soundcloud.com/doubletrap/sets/peices-ep

In late august I completely isolated myself in the studio in Versailles: no phone, no internet, just my cat :). During these days, I did a big introspection work, by doing meditation and I composed music around this. 5 songs emerged from that isolation, this is the first one.

The studio is inside an apartment in a residential building. All around it, I was hearing and seeing and these little pieces of life: The neighbour taking out his children, people on the road going on holidays or going to work, the train passing by, trees dancing with the wind and the birds singing to the sun.

It made me think about all these little things that, together, form a dynamic set. From the atom to the molecules, molecules to the living, to the nature  and people living together in a society etc... To the entire universe.

I wanted to express this mysterious infinity, this never-stopping machine in perpetual motion, going bigger and bigger.

Composed, produced and arranged by Double Trap

Pieces

I was in a very dark place when I composed this. This song is very dark and personal for me. It is about death and despair. It express when you get so lost in darkness that you start to look for hope by looking at the sky (the divine), but you don’t really find it.

Gone

I really enjoyed making this very happy music. The motto was: « how can I make myself dance for 5mn? » This song is a bit kitch and cheesy on purpose, to give it an « old school » vibe, but in a "club music" way.

There was a wonderful sunset that night. We could see it from the studio, form where I was standing, in front of the electric piano. I put on the keyboard what I was feeling watching this.

Coucher De Soleil (Interlude)

This song is part of my Demo EP: Pieces

This is the resolution of my 3 days journey. It is the last song I made. It tells the end of a romantic comedy from Hollywood. A very simple song. I was really happy that I made all these songs, in such short period, and to end it in just joyful note.
