Remembering

Falling In Love With My Girl

Rock and a Heartbeat (feat. Tower of Power)

For LA, Vol. 1

Soft as Breath

Well, now... Headphone Commute's Best of the Year feature for 2024 is all done and dusted (I hope you enjoyed this instalment and your wallet is not too sore). I spent the last two weeks unplugging from the world (even as the events around the world seemed to spin out of control), reflecting on the future direction of this platform and the next steps that I intend to take to improve upon our collective sonic journey guided by these honest words on honest music. And fear not, the authentic curation of HC-delivered content that you have hopefully grown accustomed to is here to stay, even as I branch off in a slight detour (more on that later). Meanwhile, to stay true to my words and to prove the above point, I'm excited to share with you this exclusive track premiere by a Stockholm duo of Johan Kisro and Petter Lindhagen, recording under the project name Dött ljus for the always-excellent London-based Slowcraft Records. The music embraces playful experimentation, crossing numerous genres while pairing the album's vibrant energy with soft, moody undertones. This careful balance creates a richly layered voyage, blending sounds in ways that tantalize the brainwaves in just the right way, shaking off the winter clouds and pulling the listener into a warm blanket of sincerity. I think it's fair to say that if it wasn't for James Murray's keen ear for the careful curation of his genre-spanning imprint, I would have never come upon this tender album, and that's precisely the type of connection with the label owners (who put their time and energy into every single release) and artists behind the music that I seek. And now, enjoy the track!

SOMEBODY LOVES ME

in the abyss, nothing will

i just need to get out

This is what spring feels like in my hometown Berlin - a touch of melancholy, a little hope, a tickle in the nose, a sprinkle of awakening and a dash of boldness! Hope you enjoy my new neoclassical composition!

Berliner Frühling

Berliner Frühling - Valeska and the River

We finished a new Mint Julep track yesterday! Hope you enjoy it! :)💜 
https://heliosmusic.bandcamp.com/track/holding-on

Truth be told, I’ve been holding on to more than just moments - 
A new Mint Julep album has been quietly waiting in the wings.
Hoping to share it with you in the next few months! :)
~
I’ve been holding on to moments
That I always thought would never leave
Every step, a soft reminder
Of all the places we can’t reach

Just your hands, like water
Pouring slow into my soul
So come to me unspoken
Like a dream you can’t explain

Wrote our names in summer rain
Now I trace those same old patterns again
Calling out, you say my name
As if you never went away

Just your hands, like water
Pouring slow into my soul
So come to me unspoken
Like a dream you can’t explain

Holding On

(New track out today! ✨)

there’s a wild grace in running through the rain
just you and the sky in full conversation
no masks, no mirrors,
only the rhythm of surrender
not escape,
but the beauty of letting it all fall

your clothes cling like second skin,
your hair forgets its place,
but for once, none of it matters

here, you feel without defense
break open without apology
and surrender completely
to the rhythm
of a fleeting,
fevered now

not all wounds close,
but something opens,
a gentleness
a grace not given,
but discovered

and in that unguarded place,
something shifts
you find a truer rhythm

Running Through Rain

We’re so excited to share For One Another - our third release under our new name Harbors. 🎧 We've also launched a new music blog, focusing on ambient, modern classical, and electronica.: https://inresonance.substack.com/
https://www.instagram.com/resonancemusiccommunity/

In quiet hours we become
the echo in each other’s stillness,
a hand not asking, just held,
a breath remembered.

No grand gestures,
only the soft weight of presence,
the way light stays
long after it leaves the room.

Thank you for listening. 🤍

Blue Aubade (feat. Hotel Neon)

Fund/preorder here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/alex-kozobolis-weightless#/

Weightless is an EP of intricate original piano compositions by UK artist Alex Kozobolis. With a series of solo releases over the past few years and collaborations with artists such as Lee Chapman, Harry Edwards, and Anna Rose Carter, Weightless represents Alex's unique approach to composition and melody. 

His touch on the piano is light and fluid; moving between dense sustained runs, which evaporate as soon as they are heard, to spaciously plotted notes. Weightless is the sound of weight itself lifting, of the earthly effect of gravity removed and allowing the listener to be suspended within mid-air, uninterrupted by pressures and restrains of the physical world. Coursing with energy, and running to take flight.

Each of the four tracks have been remixed by Siavash Amini, Tom Adams, Trnspt and Hedia, with very different, but cohesive results, expanding the tone of the EP into new areas.  

Weightless will be available on limited clear vinyl, digipack CD and digital editions.
