Exclusive: Shine Grooves 'Naive Piano'

Hanagasumi's second releases comes from Andrey Kurokhtin under his Shine Grooves moniker, who delivers a six-tracker as beautiful, as blossoming as the label name suggests. The Yekaterinenburg artist and label-head simply wrote six pieces to ring in the meteorologically most promising time of the year in an elaborate and exciting manner. The EP's second track, Naive Piano, is a homage to the musical beauty of the instrument as Shine Grooves composed and arranged a track that is basically build around a single loop only with few effects added here and there. However, Naive Piano's naive simplicity is so strong and powerful that the beauty of the repetitive chords burn themselves into ones perception of ones reality so deeply that it evokes an easiness and happiness in the listener's mind that you can see the Hanagasumi in front of your inner eye. 

Shine Grooves' EP Hanagasumi 02 was released Hanagasumi on February 19th, 2021.

Release Date: 23rd April 2021
Label: Abu Recordings (https://soundcloud.com/aburecordings)

From Jersey all the way to NYC, The Josh Craig describes himself as a musical scientist, tapping into often unfathomable or lesser recognised mental needs within his music. As an all-round creator, he is immersed in his work as a designer, publisher, illustrative artist, photographer, film-maker, music producer, DJ… the list could go on.

Recognising the dancefloor as a place of relocation, an integral space for human beings to learn about oneself, The Josh Craig sees the existence of dancefloors everywhere. Not just in clubs, but in the living room or kitchen of a friend, on the driveway or even in the supermarket aisle; we’ve all been there. His debut album ‘Who We Are As People’ is made purposefully to offer the headspace for us to explore anywhere, anytime.

In making this body of work, he acknowledges how the process opened him up to identify with emotions and thoughts that may have otherwise been ignored. This fact culminates in an album that is part a journey within self, but also an offering to others to begin their own, aiding them on their way. Moving through different speeds, genres and sound textures, The Josh Craig dives into the concept of Sound Healing across the album.

Informed by the composition of jazz and orchestral music, along with the raw mixing techniques found in reggae, dub-reggae, traditional chilean and even new wave, ‘Who We Are As People’ sees attention to detail come alive within his preference for atmospherics. This album pairs down the technicalities of the aforementioned genres with the best parts of ambient, minimal techno, electro and breaks.

Using completely raw analogue methods, The Josh Craig plays out each album track in full takes, imagining the finished piece as if it would be played with a live band. ‘Who We Are As People’ sees an artist who does not mimic certain sounds, rather focusing on technique and a belief in sound as a deeply healing entity.
