Having two previous full length albums to his name, including the highly revered Blue Book, he's just launched his much anticipated third LP, Oasis Sky, April 30th on his own imprint, Eleuthera Music. Coinciding with this stunning release, it's an honour & pleasure to welcome Vancouver-based artist Tor as our very special podcast guest for May with this classy, lush, & quite visceral journey showcasing much of his own productions from the new album. The perfect beginning to our new week ahead.

---------
Tor is a DJ/producer hailing from Vancouver who’s consistently released his signature brand of electronic music since 2011. His debut 10-track LP, Drum Therapy, released on Loci Records arrived in 2012 and in 2016, his sophomore album Blue Book was released via the same imprint & both would go on to gain over 20 million combined hits across all platforms to-date. Over time, he’s graced the stages at some of the world’s most renowned events and festivals, like Electric Forest, Lightning in a Bottle, Shambhala, Envision, Basscoast, Oregon Eclipse, & The Do Lab stage at Coachella to name a few.

After busy periods of making music & touring, the newfound sense of home & permanence now felt by Tor can be heard throughout Oasis Sky. Set to release on own imprint, Eleuthera Music, the new album marks an exciting new point for the acclaimed electronic musician.

OASIS SKY
Oasis Sky is Tor’s first original body of work since his revered 2016 album, 'Blue Book'. It expands on the latter’s meditative energy with the producer’s signature warmth and beat-driven atmospherics, while digging deeper into the experiences and emotions that have informed the past 4 years of his life. From a hefty touring schedule that saw the Vancouver-based producer playing his music across the U.S., E.U., Australia, & Costa Rica, in addition to busy periods of time spent working on remixes for artists including Clozee, Odesza, and Rüfüs Du Sol, the album only began to come into focus after slowing down, establishing roots, finding centre and introspection in a new living space.

"For me, this album is a reflection on my sense of home....it's a highrise apartment, looking out over rooftops, trees, and mountains. It’s filled with plants and flowers, and to me, it feels like an oasis in the sky.” Eliciting this otherworldly feeling of an oasis in the sky, lead single, 'Foxglove' arrives as a vibrant exploration of melody and rhythm, featuring bittersweet piano and warped keys alongside sliding bass and clattering hi-hats. Parallel to these new expeditions in synthesis and sound design, sampling continues to play an important part in his process and throughout the album, Tor has pulled from an eclectic palette: textures and snippets from Finnish folk hymns, spiritual jazz, prog rock, ‘60s Rwandan field recordings, early ambient & experimental records all add a distinctive depth to the album’s 10 tracks.

The release of “Oasis Sky” & Tor’s reflections of home come after being on the move for much of his upbringing & early adult life, as his family moved between W. Canada, Montréal, & Australia before finally  Vancouver. This kinetic lifestyle would continue with his blossoming career as a musician, taking him off touring the world while balancing day jobs and side gigs. With the world slowing down due to the ongoing global health crisis, he was able to find inspiration in the newly found time and space, removing distractions and finding stillness to hone in on the themes & inspiration that would define this new album.

The impression of home & grounding is also expressed in the album’s series of striking floral artwork, created by Portland-based artist, Slater Knight. 'Oasis Sky' lands April 30th on vinyl & digital formats.

Feathered Sun Dj  Set 2024

This mix is the sound of spring and the changes it brings. Holding onto the highs, the trebles, the tweaks and the whimsy. In a world that seems intent on getting smaller I cherish the flavours and colours from far and wide. As our spring rains fall they draw me outwards to a place of light and hope. Still holding on to the steady rhythms of the deep months that are almost behind us, those deeper tech beats that I’m always drawn to still remain. Memories drawn from old tracks made new .. Leonard, Lhasa, dub tempos, those 303 acid sounds that still roll around in my brain. Slower rhythms, gorgeous vocals, ups & downs and with them an awakening to the promise of all that lies ahead. Spring Equinox ’25.. bring it on ♡

♡ SPRING FEVER ♡

Track 9 from the forthcoming album 'Don't Say Anything', available 19 December everywhere.

Just Fine

This track is (another) love letter to Science Fiction. Thanks to Asimov, Herbert, Hamilton, Heinlein, Roddenberry, Wells, Francis, Christopher, Brandis, Dick, Lem, Verne, Clarke, Adams Lucas and many others for all the stories and the inspiration. Music-wise, I tried to bridge my usual house stuff with more serious electronic music. The track starts with an organ, that would be typical for house music, but there is never a house groove. Does the sound/mix need more heights?

"2016 was the fifth consecutive sunrise for me on the Robot Heart bus. It was the first one where a silent and beautifully spread out deck of clouds filled the sky, and played hide and seek with the sun for the first hour after sunrise. I had another amazing morning that I will forever remember. Hope you liked it too, and looking forward to sharing the recording with all of you!" - Scumfrog

Founded originally as a boutique electronic music blog in 2012 in India, now crossing borders in Berlin, Getting Deeper has organically grown and consistently delivered authentic music with genres such as deep house, deep tech, minimal, IDM, downtempo, trip-hop and techno.

Lush vibes, melodic intricacies and sublime mindstates are places we constantly strive to reach through the music we publish. We also like to encourage escapism, philosophical meanderings and sometimes indulging in the dark side of things. In simple words, we like to get deep.
