From the forthcoming album Kulturkatzenjammer -out on october 21st, 2013-

Long Forgotten Flowers

Featuring Ed Harcourt, the muse of this track is World War II Soviet sniper Roza Shanina. It's taken from Rae & Christian's forthcoming album 'Mercury Rising', released on Late Night Tales' new sub label "Night Time Stories" on 20th October 2013.

"While writing abstractly about love and loss and going to a club of an evening are all passable things to write songs about, sometimes you just want a folk-tinged ode to a Russian female sniper. Thankfully production duo Rae & Christian have delivered just that with their new single, The Ballad of Roza Shanina. Taken from their forthcoming third album, Mercury Rising – their first since 2001's Sleepwalking – it features the soft, crumpled croon of Ed Harcourt and is based on the life of Soviet sniper, Roza Shanina, who fought and died during World War II. Having put herself forward to serve her country following the death of three of her brothers in battle, she went on to become the first Soviet female sniper to be awarded the Order of Glory and died trying to shield a wounded soldier in 1945. It's this context that fuels the lilting strum of The Ballad, with Harcourt singing from the perspective of Shanina and a loved one, the chorus of "Over and over, I'll wait for you, my Roza, my Roza", mocked by the line that precedes it: "one day all the shooting stops...One day came too late for you and me".

Max Richter Feat. Dusk - Daisies In Prague(Matina Sous Peau Mashup)

“Winds of India” drifts from quiet meditation into deep rhythm — an ambient world-fusion journey where ancient Indian textures meet modern lounge grooves.
It opens with sitar, harmonium, and serene ambient pads, evoking spiritual calm before evolving into a hypnotic mid-tempo Buddha-Bar-style flow. Deep bass, brush percussion, and smooth electronic layers merge into a cinematic fusion of stillness and movement — east and west, earth and air.

Winds of India

Chill trance track featuring acoustic folk rock overlay with a melancholic and introspective mood

Arpeggio in Minor (Extended Mix)

Sometimes you wonna drift away because of all the noise in this world. Exactly that is what I want to express in this song. On a deeper level, no interferring of the mind, there is this vast field of love. Being in the now.
I really want to thank SoloJam Studio for this beautiful backingtrack.
