Never Coming Back

People Are Thinking

"Sand Spirit" is the fourth and final single from RUMTUM's upcoming album, 'Arcadian Daze'. Utilizing a muted, understated 2-step UK Garage break that evokes Burial's early work, along with a deep, pulsing bassline throughout. The song atmospherically layers warm, enveloping synth work with an otherworldly Koto-esque string line to create a melancholy, evocative soundscape.'Arcadian Daze' will be out everywhere March 24th.

The second in Royce Wood Junior’s #bangersonly single series, following up on last winter’s “Stuck and Tangled Up” with a Lucey Way-led funk-fueled jam dedicated to the man-made monster that is Artificial Intelligence

"We are in the midst of an Ai revolution. What an insane time. Will we live? Will we die? We are creating Gods and not in our own image. Will it need us in 5 years... I'm not sure. One thing's for certain though – now it's here, it ain't going anywhere. 

Here's a song about being scared about it but also a bit addicted to it. :)

Lyrics:

“...Hard-d-d-d-duh!"

The universe put your name on top
Universe made sure you 'bout to pop
Built meticulously, block by block
Built ridiculously, from the bottom to the top

Oh my god, we created a monster
And now it’s living among us

You’re so fucking perfect, perfect
Wish it weren’t so worth it
I’m allergic, allergic, allergic...
I’m allergic for ya

The universe said my my work is done
Universe knew it made a number 1
Made unscrupulously, piece by piece
Made fastidiously, but God knows what’s underneath

You’re an indefatigable symphony you can’t conduct 
You’re an inexorable phenomenon hit like it was Trump, yeah
Oh my god, we created a monster
And now it’s living beyond us

You’re so fuckin' perfect, perfect
Wish it weren’t so worth it
I’m allergic, allergic, allergic...
I’m allergic for ya

You’re so fuckin' perfect, perfect
Wish it weren’t so worth it
I’m allergic, allergic, allergic...
I’m allergic for ya

Perfect…
Perfect…
Perfect…
Perfect…

“Oh… my... god… 

that sounds… fuckin’… hard…!!!”

"The World is but a Mystery" is the official debut single from ttwig – a new solo project from JUICEB☮X (the vocal half of Fresh Selects duo, Figmore). 

A veritable Swiss Army knife of talent – JUICEB☮X raps, sings, produces, and plays just about every instrument (even including the trumpet), and his prolific releases over the years have run the gamut of different styles – proudly dubbing his label for self-releases, "Ellen DeGenreless." 

And now, with his new ttwig moniker, taken from a song title on JUICEB☮X's 2021 'Overthin King' LP, he's purposefully honing in on a more specific sound – one rooted in the more psychedelic side of nostalgia, centered around more organic sounds and textures, and mostly focusing on his singing, songwriting and live instrumentation. 

A proper full-length ttwig LP is still to come – stay tuned for more...

At one point serving as the working title track to the album – "Daisies" is now batting clean-up on the roll-out towards Chicago multi-talent Lane Beckstrom's upcoming debut LP.  Fittingly, it also wound up being the closer song on the tracklist – a swirling summary of some of the varying styles and moods expressed throughout.

‘Boundless Pleasures’ feat. Jake Milliner is the new single by South African producer L E F, taken from his forthcoming album ‘Melodic Utopia’ (03.11.). On his second album for Melting Pot Music, he teamed up with Lofi heavy weight LESKY, upcoming Dutch producer Afroham, Greek producer Drips Zacheer, UK producer Jake Milliner and Italian jazz beat maestro Koralle. 

The dreamy free-floating sound of ‘Melodic Utopia’ stays away from all Lofi stereotypes and puts his melodic productions known from his previous album ‘Antidote’, released in 2022, on another level.

"i really wanted to make an epic psych rock song with no drums, reminiscent of some of my influences from the late 60’s. something with lyrics that held wisdom & could serve as a mantra. a gentle reminder to open your eyes & really take in what’s going on rather than distracting ourselves into oblivion. (side note: i always picture mumbo jumbo from banjo kazooie when the “OO, AH” vocals come in at the end hahaha)

Lyrics:

Open the door,
though you may not feel like it
Go and explore,
through the maze, you’ll be guided
Hear what the shore
has to say in the moment
Face to the floor,
you can’t see where you’re going
(So once in a while…)

Once in a while…
Once in a while…
(Open your eyes)
Once in a while…

Go to the core,
all the way to your kindness
Oh, what a bore,
all the days you were blinded
Now that you’ve grown
from the heat of the moment
Face all the doors,
you can breathe when they’re opened
(So once in a while…)

Once in a while…
Once in a while…
(Open your eyes)
Once in a while…

Once in a while, you’ll have to make that change
You don’t want it to feel the same now, do ya?
