LYRICS:

Guess that you'll be leaving now.
Even in your deepest doubt,
have you got it all….
figured out?

The smell of you is on me still.
The night died way too young.
This feeling is alive and well
Even in your deepest dread,
have you got a fault… 
line in your head?

I was waiting for someone,
to turn my world around.
You came in the summer,
and time was winding down.

Wonder what you're thinking now.
Even in your deepest doubt,
have you got it all… 
figured out?

Why do you, why do you, why do you lie?
Not coming, not coming back.
How could you, how could you, how could you lie?
You're not coming, not coming back.

ABOUT FLORA CASH:

Cole and Shpresa met on SoundCloud; where each had been uploading music independently, in early 2012. At first, their love was simply for the other's music. That quickly turned into something more, however, and it wasn’t long before the two began a relationship on Skype which lasted more than five months. In June 2012, Shpresa flew to Cole in Minneapolis, from Stockholm, and stayed until the couple returned to Sweden two months later. It was there that Flora Cash was born.

Fans of contemporary vocalist duos including Angus and Julia Stone, Of Monsters and Men (OMAM), and First Aid Kit as well as those of previous generations including Johnny Cash / June Carter Cash, Sonny and Cher, Buckingham Nicks and Simon & Garfunkel will find something to love in the pop folk stylings and authentic love-born melodies of Flora Cash.

Chapter 2 - Vous
 
You never said the words, but I knew. The end was closer than you. I riffle through my old diary, sipping Merlot behind sunglasses at the Café de Paris. I remember exactly how I felt when I wrote that line. For a moment or too many, I drowned my self in despair. I knew right there and then that the one I loved was about to leave. So many days running on empty, running from my self after that cold Sunday in February.
Loved ones they vanish like footprints in snow…
It’s so hard to grasp. Here I am sunbathing instead of drowning, feeling alive again for the first time in years. All because of a girl with eyes of ember and a terrible accent. It’s five o’ clock in the afternoon and I know that I can’t have it any other way. It has to be you. I wish I had the courage to tell you how I feel. I open my diary and start writing on a new page. “I think it’s hard, impossible even, to be happy alone” Quoting a French film when she opens the door...

Play Out

Thousands of me is the third single from Emmecosta's mini LP Untied (released Jan 2016).

- Dreamy soundscapes, urban beats, and nordic coolness is what you get when you throw Positano, Milan, and Gothenburg into a mix. Throw in Claudio Pauline, Alfonso Fusco, and Aldo Axha and you get Emmecosta; a Gothenburg based Post-club trio.

Emmecosta released their debut single, ‘Brontos’ in July and followed up with 'Snowboy' in September. They just got back from playing a few shows in the UK, including opening for Chimes and playing a slot at Rockaway Beach Festival alongside Young Fathers & Ghostpoet, and a few dates in Germany.

Emmecosta are signed to Swedish indie label 'Icons Creating Evil Art'

A few select quotes .

" 'Snowboy' is the perfect soundtrack to those twilight hours spent walking home from the club. When you're feeling fragile and the light enters your eyes like daggers, this is the kind of music you need to listen to: emotive, comforting, and gentle all at once. "  /James Keith, Complex Magazine UK

"We’ve all felt that moment of post-clubbing clarity alone in those grey, early hours of the morning. Depriving yourself of sleep somehow gives you a weird sense of understanding" / Alfred Maddox, Noisey

"The Gothenburg group bill themselves as post-club, and there's a little of that atmosphere here. Ears ringing, shirt soaking, it's the soundtrack to that time when it's too late to go to bed but too early to get back up."  / Robin Murray, CLASH

Time is not linear, everything happens at the same time. At the same time that Adrian Recordings preparing the release of Laakso’s 5th album we are sitting in a dorm in Uppsala 2002 getting a demo from a guy called Markus Krunegård. The demo was then released as Laakso debut EP “Long Beach” on Adrian Recordings. Laakso then became one of Swedens’s fines indie bands with a long row of hits 2003-2007. Then Markus went solo and became one of Sweden’s biggest artists. Numerous hits, tours and rewards later he find himself together with his band mates in Laakso again. Back where it all started on Adrian Recordings. 

The new album is produced by Jari Haapalainen that also produced most of the early material, it will be released the 22 of April.

At The Dam

Mary Lattimore - Jimmy V

IljusWifmo are two young guys from Sydney, Australia - Max and Taylor - who have recently started making music and they're just naturally good at it. Sharing the perspective with many contemporary Australian producers, their wish and challenge is to move to Europe and make a living out of music here - the 'hub for dance music culture'. 

Laz is their debut EP and it features 4 fun tracks, some of which could remind you of another producer with a successful EP on Clubwerks - SHALT. We welcome them to the family and we're confident they have a bright road ahead.

IljusWifmo - Frenetic

Despite his direct descent to the "tape throb" lineage, longtime All City affiliate Buz Ludzha (aka The Cyclist) now looks to break new sonic ground with his latest Basslines for Life EP (following on from his 2014 "Basslines for Death"). These four original tracks play on the EP's title with gritty drums, factory line rhythms, synth decay and motorised bass lines – marking his first venture with LA label 100% Silk. "Vibradreams" (which also closed Silk's Upfront last year) exemplifies the new musical realm Buz Ludzha is exploring: cassette textures with pitch-bent acid squelches and synth melodies streaked with gain.

Keep eyes peeled for Basslines for Life dropping soon via 100% Silk.

Buz Ludzha "Vibradreams" - Boiler Room Debuts

'Come As You Are' features trippy, meandering synths and merges the line between house and techno beautifully. The rolling drops are well-timed and paired nicely with hefty slabs of percussion. Feeling this one.
