★ PREMIERE ★ sUb_modU - 'All Around (Renegades Of Jazz Remix)'

Buy/Stream: https://darker-than-wax.lnk.to/Sarissa

Known for crafting infectious rhythms infused with an otherworldly strangeness, UK-based producer CAIN makes his debut on Darker Than Wax with Sarissa - a seven-tracker driven by his signature percussive style.

Written in his native highlands of Scotland and heavily influenced by the mountainous landscapes, Sarissa seeks to fuse together organic and synthetic sounds in unusual ways. True to his ethos of joining the dots between folk music from cultures around the world, the melodies and rhythms explored throughout are tied together by their timeless, ethereal quality. Interlocking rhythms lead the way as the skeleton in this music with cinematic harmonies woven in and out, leading the listener through dark valleys and emotional peaks.

Each tune tells its own story and has a distinct feel from the next – from the jilting rhythms and hazy rave feel of ‘Sarissa’, the crawling basslines of ‘Gecko’, and the ethereal lightness of ‘Marwa’ to the harmonic weight of Kuro. The seven cuts making up Sarissa are equally effective as dancefloor weapons, or as accompaniments on long foggy walks.

Nigga Won't Reach Mars

Survive (feat. MK-1) is the third single from my debut album, titled "One": https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/one/id858960466

I wrote this song about the connection between people who share something in common. Often we meet people who we can have a conversation with because we recognise something about their appearance that is common to our own identity. We can talk about a whole bunch of things before even knowing their name. We come together on common ground.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I recognise my people by face before I know the name
smile when we greet because we understand the same
share the same sight through eyes watered with pain
yet we hold tightly onto our faith and maintain
we speak on each other’s life
share mutual respect and connect because we’re one in the fight
knowing with insight that the battle will test
but we gotta stay ahead of the rest like playing chess
but understand you give what you get: a full circle
and love can be spread coz it’s felt universal
our blood separates us, by faith we’re connected
by strength we survive and by courage we’re respected
after we spoke we joke about the world’s fear
the most peace loving people with unshaven beards
and they wonder why we keep it, it’s no secret
our faith is the food for the soul so we need it
to survive

Chorus:
Where are you going?
said, where are you going to run to… to run to?
Where are you going?
said, where are you going to run to…
to survive?

Verse 2:
Spiritual genocide and the war is in the mirror
how can life be sweet when you feel so bitter
I grit my teeth and dig deep
with so many questions on my mind, I miss sleep
but never lose sight of my dreams
I keep my faith close to my heart so the light’s a high beam
I raise my fist to the sky about as high as can be
and send a prayer out to all of my lions and queens
I bow my head to the Guru that raised me
and pay respect to the saints coz your wisdom aids me
we went from fighting with words to fighting with swords
then surviving the times and now we’re fighting with minds
I feel the winds of change and it tends to amaze me
coming to terms with me means you can never change me
it ain’t easy but when you search you will find
that everything tends to pass like time
and so we survive

Chorus

Bridge:
{ Everybody in the place with me
put your fists in the air where they’re meant to be } (x 4)

Chorus

The Change Up

Lazy Susan (feat. Christon Gray & Taelor Gray)

The Battery "Lazy Susan (feat Christon Gray & Taelor Gray)"

Award winning artist and producer Plutonic Lab returns today, releasing music that comes drenched in striking R&B tones: new single, ‘Good Thing’. 

Featuring frequent collaborator, vocalist Natalie Slade, ‘Good Thing’ revels in nostalgic and romantic vibes. Plutonic Lab, applying his expert ear for melody and arrangement, constructs a beautiful, dreamy soundscape that Slade’s rich vocals weave effortlessly throughout.

The genesis of ‘Good Thing’ started - as with most sonic ideas - in the studio, with Plutonic Lab working on different ideas at his Wurlitzer electric piano. The cyclical melody, coupled with the chords, became the base of the song and from there, ‘Good Thing’ would grow into something great. Inspired by the Wurlitzer melody, Slade found herself creating within a sonic scope that was built on beautiful decadence and fantasy.

“It gave me the space to dream and so I wrote a story about a lush romance.” Natalie Slade

The fantastical elements of ‘Good Thing’ make the track an immersive listen. 
“Never give up on your good love, I won’t,” Slade sings, as orchestral strings swell around the lush production. The addition of brass and rhythmic builds beautifully, giving ‘Good Thing’ a rich vintage sound. 

“I created a demo for Natalie that already had the basic drums (which were a kind of slow samba), strings, bass guitar and the Wurlitzer electric piano parts, I also added that popcorn synth sound that plays the melodic counter to the piano. I named the beat ‘Wurly Dreams’ and I think the title inspired Nat to write the song”.  Plutonic Lab

Plutonic Lab and Slade have been collaborators for years, with Slade appearing on previous Plutonic Lab offerings, as well as their group project SOUNDS LIKE FRANCO. Slade has also been courting international attention for her solo work; her signing to UK label Eglo Records seeing her in the company of artists including Fatima and Floating Points.

Across the years and releases, the duo’s dynamism has strengthened; a strength that comes across so easily in ‘Good Thing’. It’s soul music that evokes memories of decades gone by, while still putting a fresh and contemporary foot forward.

‘Good Thing’ is the next offering from Plutonic Lab’s forthcoming EP ‘New Ruins’. Stay tuned for more music and info in the coming weeks.
