Music For Whales - Christina Vantzou

Dream In Dream

A little more than a decade ago, dub legend Lee “Scratch” Perry (1936–2021) walked into a Quasi Dub Development recording session in New York. His signature freestyle lyrics — dadaist and quirky as only the Upsetter could deliver — became part of their Little Twister album, released in 2014. Looking back on Pingipung's 22-year history, “Let’s Communicate” is certainly one of the highlights on the label, but it remained under the radar of many as part of the LP. Now, in 2025, this standout track receives this special 7’’ re-release, paired with a version by UK dub wizard Elijah Minnelli.

IMU - Meant to Be

We welcome a collaboration that embodies the cosmic balance between earthly grounding and nocturnal transformation. Kora (@kora-musique) and Oiseau de nuit (@odnmusique) unite as Hiboux (owls).

This marks a significant moment where Phases Musique and Saisons Musique (@saisonsmusique) intersect. But beyond the convergence of two collectives lies a deeper story — one of mentorship, friendship, and shared musical evolution. When Oiseau de nuit took his first steps in music making back in 2015, it was Kora who guided his way. Their collaboration within Saisons Musique has been a long-standing journey, and Hiboux represents not just a meeting of two artists, but the culmination of years of creative dialogue and mutual inspiration.

Together, they channel the supermoon’s energy — that delicate tension between holding on and letting go, between stability and metamorphosis.

Like the owls that navigate at darkness with precision and grace, this release moves through shadow and light with intention. Hiboux carries this medicine forward. Downtempo rhythms that root you to the earth while organic textures invite transformation.

Kora brings it’s traveler’s compass, guiding us through diverse sounds and stimulating flutes textures where acoustic and electronic worlds collide. Oiseau de nuit contributes the deep, contemplative groove essence. The result is a sonic ceremony — patient, purposeful, and filled with the possibility.

It’s a music for the hours when the world sleeps but the spirit awakens.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do ⏾.

More Info 🌚

“Mirage” is a sound that lives between reality and dreams.
Like sand slipping through your fingers, it dissolves into the fog of memory,
leaving only the whisper of the wind and a silhouette that cannot be held.

This is a story about those who seek themselves in the boundless ocean of destiny,
about wanderers who walk toward the horizon,
not knowing that the true path lies within.

Here, time disappears,
space breaks down into breath and silence,
and each note is like a step into the unknown,
which you choose again and again.

Mirage is not an illusion.

“Mirage” — это звук, который живёт между реальностью и сном.
Как песок, ускользающий сквозь пальцы, он растворяется в тумане памяти,
оставляя лишь шёпот ветра и силуэт, который невозможно удержать.

Это история о тех, кто ищет себя среди бескрайнего океана судьбы,
о странниках, что идут навстречу горизонту,
не зная, что истинный путь — внутри.

Здесь время исчезает,
пространство распадается на дыхание и тишину,
а каждая нота — как шаг в неизвестность,
которую ты выбираешь снова и снова.

Mirage — не иллюзия.
