Where does the time go? With PØPE’s 'Track of Time' EP you don’t have to worry. She’s composed an exquisitely calming selection of chill-hop to enjoy, a string of tracks that make you feel like you’re in a wintery snow globe, where things move at just the right pace to see their inherent beauty and charm. Based in Nantes, France, the composer and sound designer leaves just enough out of the sonic landscape to stimulate our imagination, while keeping us in a state of bliss. And what a wonderful place that is.

zakè and dotlights met in early 2023, although both artists found that they shared affinities towards each other's works for years. Through conversations, there was one album that both artists equally cherished, ‘Stay With Me’ released in the summer of 2022 with zakè’s good friend T.R. Jordan. The album also featured a special appearance by the lovely marine eyes.

Deeply drawn by the sounds and story behind the album, dotlights commenced working with the original stems to create a very special collection of reimagined tracks with his unique lofi beatmaking and beautifully composed guitar aesthetics he’s become known for. With the assistance and this newly collaborative approach, zakè worked with both old and new stems, in addition to adding new synth production, field recordings, and tape manipulations to these remixed tracks.

dotlights is a guitarist / beatmaker from the Netherlands and a frequent contributor to Chillhop Records and Memoir Music. Working from a small home studio in a quiet town near the German border, he blends his guitar aesthetics with downtempo electronica vibes and lofi beats.

zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) is the founder and head of Indianapolis-based Past Inside the Present, which has become a standard bearer for modern ambient and experimental artistry since its creation in 2018. In addition to PITP, he runs the collaboration-focused Zakè Drone Recordings, and has released for Azure Vista Records, Dunk!Records, Polar Seas Recordings and others.

I’m super excited to announce this release. It’s a cover of a song by a fellow Afro-Filipino, Joe Bataan. His music first caught my ear back in 2009 when Ryan Kattner of Man Man played it for me. I was immediately hooked by Joe’s music because, to me, he represented the impossible--he felt so comfortable in his skin and he had so much confidence and appeal. I had the pleasure of meeting Joe at an incredible dinner with friends at Jeepney, a Filipino restaurant in New York City. Joe was at the center of the table, talking to us like we were family. I played Joe the cover that night through the restaurant stereo and he was so happy to hear that his music stood the test of time and reached me. Now, 45 years after the original song hit the airwaves, I’m honored to bring this song to new ears. Thank you for your support.

100% of Bandcamp sales for this track on 6/19 will go to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund - we will be donating all our proceeds as well.

Inner Ocean Records is a platform and collective for emerging artists to release music and visual art. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the label was conceptualized in 2012 as a vehicle for artists to have their music heard and seen, to build a community of passionate people.  We designed the label to be what we would have loved to have as artists ourselves, redefining the rules in an ebb and flow to the changing landscape of music. We have made a conscious commitment to be transparent, adaptable and always for the people.

We are a label for artists, by artists. 

We’ve built the backbone of this label around great sound and feeling; laid back, honest and forever chill. We have released a lot of different sounds; Ambient, Lofi Hip Hop, RnB, Modern Funk, Future Soul and Indie. Since our inception, we have prioritized natural evolution and organic growth in the music – we value the process and accept change.  Expect the unexpected; we want to delightfully surprise you;)
