Lofi, Beats & Jazz by Inner Ocean Records

[ [ [ [ THE QUIET RESPITE ] ] ] ]

A macabre walk into life after death. A land where your name is solely held up by the creations you left behind for those still amongst the living. 

This begins a new chapter.

But it first begins with a complete 'loss of identity', a rebirth if you will. A fresh start.

The respite approaches for us all.......

Some of the best creations come from empty rooms; Peter Bark's first solo project in two years proves just that. The 11-track album vacillates between tightly composed, hard-hitting beats and electronic experimentation - all seasoned with his signature ambient tones. It is a celebration of rad grooves, skillful instrumentation, and electronic deconstruction. A beat tape lover's dream.

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.

Enhasa is veteran producer Zack Mitchell's sophomore album under his Blackbird Belle alias, and it methodically paints a portrait of a musician obsessed with tonality and detail. From the crackling static and saturated analog warmth of the titular opening track, all the way through to the final moments of the soulful, triumphantly receding closer, Enhasa is permeated with lushly imagined sounds and rich, evocative timbres.

The title of the record is lifted from a mythical kingdom, built many millennia ago amidst a series of monolithic, floating mountains, all chained together and anchored to the sky during a golden age of wonder. As a record, Enhasa lives up to its namesake. The album is imbued with that very same magic, juxtaposing a mystical sense of air, space, and melodic resonance within each beat with the weight and impact of near-liquid percussion and a diverse array of punctuated grooves.

Put simply, Enhasa is an album tailored for the headphone cosmonauts and the deep divers - eight beats that are all at once inviting and enveloping, that gradually unfurl and reveal new layers with each dedicated listen. Enhasa will be released on August 14th, 2020 through Inner Ocean Records (@inneroceanrecords).

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;)
