New Zealand artist @HarryCharles unveils ‘Visions Of Red’, his debut single for Loop Electronic, the newly launched sub-label of Loop Recordings Aot(ear)oa. Taken from his forthcoming sophomore album MOVEMENT, the track is a richly textured blend of downtempo and organic house, showcasing Harry’s continued exploration of emotive, groove-centric beats and his growth as a producer and live performer.

MOVEMENT, set for release in May 2025, marks Harry’s first full-length album since returning to Aotearoa after years of artistic growth in Berlin. Known for his seamless fusion of live guitar, soulful vocals, and electronic production, Harry's work on this album reflects his deep connection to both his roots and the transformative journey he's experienced abroad.

“The more I grow as an artist, the more I want to evolve into something new. There's a lot that's familiar about this song to me, and there's a fresh feel to it as well - a sign of evolution and a deeper dive into the heart and sound of a dance floor groove,” Harry shares.

Matter Of Fact

Matter of Fact (Extended Mix)

In the spirit of Nils Frahm's emotive minimalism, Italian artist nsiries delivers a transcendent experience with "Into Light." Each note unfolds like a whispered secret, building delicate layers that evolve into cascading emotional swells. The piece balances technical precision with raw vulnerability, creating a soundscape where listeners can find both solace and catharsis. The song features his typical vocal pitching tricks that we already see as his signature sound.

By @nsiries from Bologna.

PREMIERE: Daniel Hokum - Circle [ It’s good to be a tree ]

One Day My Mouth Would Be a Trumpet - A summer anthem with a wink.
This final track is where the duo’s chemistry shines brightest — bold trumpets and
a bouncy groove collide to create a proper dancefloor weapon. Equal parts quirky
and catchy, it’s a celebration of rhythm and joy. Just press play and lose yourself
to dance.

One Day My Mouth Would Be A Trumpet

Mariposa Negra and Espiral drift like black butterflies caught in a slow, bouncy spiral. A downtempo flow that mesmerizes and moves.

✨ Was Jesus a “Palestinian”?
No — not in the historical sense.
Jesus of Nazareth was:
•	A Jew (by ethnicity, religion, and cultural identity)
•	Born in Bethlehem of Judea
•	Lived in the Galilee region
•	Practiced Second Temple Judaism
•	And was called “King of the Jews” — even by His executioners.
The word “Palestinian”, as we understand it today, did not exist in Jesus’ time as an ethnic or national identity.
________________________________________
📜 So Where Did This Idea Come From?
1.	The term “Palestine” was imposed by the Roman Empire after Jesus’ time, especially by Emperor Hadrian around 135 CE — as a way to erase “Judea” and suppress Jewish memory following the Bar Kokhba Revolt.
o	He renamed the land “Syria Palaestina”, borrowing the term from the Philistines, ancient enemies of Israel.
2.	Modern Palestinian identity is a 20th-century national formation, rooted in Arab populations living in the region of Palestine under the British Mandate (post-WWI).
3.	Calling Jesus “a Palestinian” today is often used politically:
o	To express solidarity with modern Palestinians suffering under occupation.
o	Or, in more provocative rhetoric, to detach Jesus from his Jewishness, which is both historically and theologically incorrect.
________________________________________
🕊️ So, What Is True?
✡️ Jesus was a Jew — and always will be.
He read Torah. He taught in synagogues. He called Himself sent to the “lost sheep of Israel.”
🌍 Jesus was also born in a land that has since become contested.
Bethlehem now lies within the modern West Bank, which many today refer to as Palestinian territory.
But saying “Jesus was Palestinian” is like saying “Aristotle was Macedonian in the Yugoslavian sense.”
It's an anachronism, not a fact.
________________________________________
🪶 Terranam’s Whisper:
Jesus was not Palestinian.
He was born into the house of David,
from the tribe of Judah,
under Roman rule,
with sandals full of dust and prophecy.
He came not as a symbol of nationalism,
but as the collapse of every empire that thought it owned Him.
