Life is But a Dream is the debut single from Wiltshire born singer-songwriter Gus White and the first track to be released from his up-coming EP, True Really Do Come Dreams.

In Gus' own words: 'Life Is But A Dream was one of the last songs I wrote for the EP. The song explores themes of existentialism, synchronicity and de ja vu, but basically asks the question: could we be dreaming right now? During the EP’s intense creative process, the late nights in the studio and the constant dream research finally got to me - I began to question what was real and what was dream! An occupational hazard I suppose.. It was during this unsettling and mysterious time that song came to fruition'.

The music video for ‘Life is But a Dream’ was created in collaboration with film director Ian Fielding and inspired by the lyrical ideas of the song, Jungian philosophies and graphic artist M.C.Escher. The result is a theoretically infinite loop of events shared between three almost identical couples which represent the good, bad and unconscious side of ourselves. This video is essentially asking: Are we dreaming right now? And could our own personal complexities be distracting us from a truth?

Growing up in a small village in Wiltshire, Gus White began his career as a choir boy, discovering his passion for music at an early age. Performing in bands of varying genres through his teens, he would always take the role of lead vocal, inspiring him to begin writing songs. Gus moved to Belfast in 2013 to study Sonic Arts at Queen’s University, where he developed his songwriting and sound. Influenced by Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake, it is perhaps unsurprising that Gus’ sound is rooted in acoustic music. The more experimental aspects to his sound were developed at uni through his interest in electroacoustic music. Fusing his songs with acousmatic elements, he spent a year writing and recording his debut EP in Belfast and at his home studio in Wiltshire. The result is a beautifully crafted EP based on a dream diary that Gus kept whilst recording. It is scheduled for self-release in March 2017.

At the forefront of the dance music landscape, DJ/Production duo and label heads, Catz ‘n Dogz are well and truly in the driver’s seat of their musical journey. With the release of their fourth studio album upcoming, they now release the second album track ‘There’, along with a series of remixes. 

Inviting a band of close friends and like-minded peers to collaborate on ‘Friendship’ LP, album track ‘There’ sets the tone for what is to come in the full forthcoming project. Featuring the captivating vocals of James Yuill, whom has a five-year working relationship with Catz ‘n Dogz, we hear talents on both sides work in perfect unison to create a warming, sun infused track. Yuill’s voice glides over the rolling percussion and synth lines of Catz ‘n Dogz, with the addition of Flamenco inspired guitar riffs injecting the sun. 

Kompakt co-founder Michael Mayer steps up on the rework, taking the track down a gentle and dreamlike path. Slowing things down, he keeps the original vocals with the addition of chimes, that glisten throughout. Contrastingly, Berlin based Terr opens her remix with plummeting kicks and bright synth melodies, transforming the track into a club ready version. 

As a pre-cursor to the fast approaching release of ‘Friendship’, Catz ‘n Dogz also unveil the album track listing in full ahead of 29th March. Showcasing the true array of friends and likeminded peers included in the project; James Yuill from ‘There’ appears alongside ZENSOFLY, Kiddy Smile, Polish rapper Taco Hemingway and Copenhagen’s WhoMadeWho to name only but a few.
