KWAIDAN is collection of reverb soaked harmonies leaning on a couch of field recordings and heavy drums all accompanying the vocals of flau’s Noah. Songs referencing Japanese folk tales about ghosts and spirits presented, not in the usual tone of a ghost story but rather, in a romanticized air of normalcy and matter-of-factness.

the bass wizard Mindex returns to Night Owl for his next EP. some very new sounds compared to his previous EP release with us (Jazzmental), this 4-track "Sleep Deprivation" EP will either put you to sleep or keep you up all night in a world of daydreams. this first track is a "Breath" of fresh air... feel the vibes.

proudly presenting the first track from custodian's 6-track "bouncy castle" EP. this guy is way too underrated so it's time to change that. we had the pleasure of meeting him in New Orleans for Mardi Gras earlier this month and it was a beautiful time, even got a picture of him in front of a real bouncy castle (check our facebook). we'll be posting 1 track per day for the next few days, stick around.

track 2 from the primary colours EP - "panes of plastic". ethereal chords that will have you floating in a sea of feels... 
a quick note -
we've been shifting our focus to the style of very mellow chilled out beats for meditation and relaxing, and this pixül EP encapsulates that beautifully. think of this EP (and the last release we put out, as well as the next 2 releases) as the "calm before the storm", because soon we will be ramping up our vibe to the more energetic style.
but until then, drown the world out in these vibes <3

away from you ep

i'm lying with her, here in her bed in the dark. i can feel her breathing and the burning glow of the streetlight outside of her window falls soft on her skin. i can see her pulse beat in time in the space between her collar bones and i have this great need to wrap my arms around her and pull her close. smother her like a fire burning light and lucid in this darkness. 
i can feel her and smell her in the air around us and she is beautiful. this need to have her close holds itself inside me, gripping and twisting; entwining itself in my ribcage. but instead i lie here next to her and shut my eyes and feel her around me just a bit more before i drift out of the world and dream beneath her blanket and think that she is beautiful.
