Steps Like A Giant

Petrichor - pet·ri·chor
/ˈpeˌtrīkôr/ noun - a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather.


With his new EP “Petrichor”, Producer Roane Namuh continues his tradition of creating the best in beat-based music across a diverse range of styles and tempos. Utilizing his wide-ranging ear and DJ sensibilities, “Petrichor” contains all of the groove, and rich, layered musicality that he is known for.

Joining Roane on his rhythmic journey are A+ collaborations with rappers and singers Count Bass D, Nanna.B, Vursatyl, Libretto, Blossom, and Stanley Ipkuss. As with “Cloudshine”, his previous collaborative project with singer Reva DeVito, each featured vocal artist truly melds with Roane’s unique production sensibilities. Roane has that special ability to collaborate with an eclectic group of talented vocalists and still create a sound that is remarkably recognizable as his own.

From the up-tempo styling of “Indecisive” ft. Nanna.B, to the instrumental tracks “Shynawn” & “Hydroburn”, plus the modern neo-soul gem “Smoke” ft. the magnificent pairing of Blossom & Stanley Ipkuss, Roane’s talent for creating a mood through song structure and attention to detail is on full display. The same is true for the Hip-Hop tracks “Crimson” ft. Count Bass D & “History” ft. Vursatyl & Libretto as they show a depth of composition and nuance that fits firmly within the context of the EP’s whole.

"Inhale The Sky"

Hold on, 
stay in control

There’s a reason
life comes and it goes

Make your way,

Don’t let automation
take over your soul

Listen to yourself,
let your heart melt

Listen to yourself 
everyday

Everyday

Prototype Remixes

Reginald Chapman "We Shall Overcome (ewonee's Preserverance Mix)"

The debut single from LAPIS – a singer, musician, and producer from Auckland, New Zealand

Maxi-single with instrumental and single edit out now: freshselects.bandcamp.com/album/blue-in-orange

"I recorded the first version of this song in 2013 when I was turning 18. I came back more than once over the next 1-2 years. 

At the 2:57 mark I back come in to look back on what happened from a different perspective. In doing so I was able to process the story, that period in my life again, on a deeper level. 

At 2:57 it is like a reality check.. “Shit, this is what was really going down..” And the rest of the song – with the extended dance section and the darker tone – is really a grieving process, both for what was, and the dreams that never really were – the dreams of idealised love that never held any water. It is also a catharsis and transformation, of the pain and confusion. 

This reflective and retrospective process, captured as ‘Blue in Orange’ allowed me to tie this up and move on –> from blue into orange!"

"Girl, I left you a note, 
What it said - I don’t even know 
But can't you reply? 
Even if you say no...

Girl, I left you a note, 
What it said - I don’t even know 
But can't you reply? 
Even if you say no...

See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone..
See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone.. 
See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone.. 
See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone..

Ooh, ooh, ooh, my love 

Girl, I left you a letter
What it said - I didn't know better.
What I wrote - down I blush, 
Now when I think about it.

Girl, I wrote you a play, 
Starring me and you in the way, 
In which I thought it should be. 
But I didn't give you no say..."

Lyrics:

"How long to wait? 
How can I tell 
if it’s too late?
You... you make it so hard 
to tell 
where I stand
and where I should go

How long to wait? 
How can I tell 
if it’s too late?
You... you make it so hard 
to tell 
where I stand
and where I should go

You are the one 
and you’ve got me coming undone,
and I won’t give up,
until you tell me what’s up"
