ABOUT:
A record of big pop moments and globe trotting arrangements in technicolor, these songs focus on a five year period of struggle, self discovery, growth and renewal in the life of songwriter/record-maker David Karsten Daniels. During this time DKD got married, had a kid and experienced a crisis of self-identity. Losing himself in self-help books and the Enneagram, many of these songs appear as mantras for a new husband and father trying to trade control and ego for connection and meaning. While a few of the songs flash back to easygoing youthful times, most deal very directly with the day to day of trying to survive and thrive in a new reality (with a handful of the songs following DKD into alternate realities as Larry Ellison, a Ghanaian treasure hunter and a rabbit). End the end, the album is a sort of letting go - shedding a pervasively melancholic youth, discarding a fabricated self in order to participate in an ever-evolving and interdependent family unit. 

Along the way David fell deep in love with the sounds of Fela Kuti, Congolese and Indonesian music, fun. and Kanye West. Roughly half of these songs feature extensive collaboration with songwriter/producer/filmmaker Chris Walker (Driver Friendly/Hopeless Records/Danger Films) whose focus on rhythm, faster tempos and relentless hooks helps gives the record a feeling of urgency and buoyancy rarely found on David's previous albums.  

A handful of the other songs feature the inspired performances of friends and family - among them David’s wife and son, his brother and sister-in-law Dane and Abbey Daniels and friends Kyle Henson and Ben Jousan. In at surprising turn of events, Austin, TX singer Lex Land (NBC’s ‘The Voice’) and Dallas rapper -topic briefly appear...

LYRICS
Catch glimpses in the dim light
See your eyes in the twilight spaces
The dawn’s like a fading dream
Slowly going higher
Finding things that remind me of you

Will you say it like you mean it
Or will you hide behind your silence
Will you say that you feel fine
When you seem so closed off
When you seem so closed off all the time

Cold winds make me shiver
I hear you whisper
Stay near to me
Cold eyes in the mirror
Flush with fever
More than ever before

There’s a purity to your gaze
That makes me fall so deeply
But there’s no landing soft
And my heart keeps bleeding
It keeps on bleeding out

Winter’s near and it’s beating in my heart now
There’s a velocity to your love
It moves the stars above
It feels like I’m losing you
It feels so much like I’m losing you

Cold winds make me shiver
I hear you whisper Stay near to me
Cold eyes in the mirror 
Flush with fever
More than ever before

Mint Julep - Twilight Still

DECEPTION BAY is the second single from Sydney based hip-hop/psych-soul-tronic duo BOO SEEKA.

The duo is just back from their first European trip – two months across Germany, Switzerland, France and Holland, where they played a mix of their own headline gigs and festivals.
In Sept this year they're back out on the road in Australia with SAFIA.

The live show blends distinctive altered states vocal melodies and slots them into a synth groove, underpinned by electronic kicking rhythm sections. ‘DECEPTION BAY’ is 3 short minutes of downright electronic bliss that vibes off the 80's for texture, beat and synth riffage. The band wanted to push the edges of the song out a little creating layers and have different rhythm patterns coming in and out. Experimenting on this track and slipping between their instrumentation and their old school hip hop/electro edge. Taking vocal melodies putting them through samplers again to make their spacey dance styles.

Deception Bay is out on JULY 8 thru Sureshaker.

VILLA NAH: LOVE CHANCE - From the upcoming album "Ultima"
ISRC: FISR61600024

Villa Nah is back after a five-year hiatus as the critically acclaimed synth duo returns to live form with their new material, of which earlier on Spring 2016 released ‘Stranger‘ gives us a sneak peek. Love Chance is the second single from the upcoming second album “Ultima”. Duo’s distinctive sound is filled with ageless synth pop doused in dreamy synthesizers and Juho Paalosmaa’s even more forlorn vocals.

Villa Nah´s Juho & Tomi: “For the summer of '16, we wanted to serve a sunny slice of romance, the sweet kiss of a Love Chance. With ripples of synths and sheer optimism, this is our soundtrack for those July afternoons.”

Villa Nah is a Finnish pop duo consisting of Juho Paalosmaa and Tomi Hyyppä. Villa Nah's sound is heavily influenced by 1980's synthpop. Producer/DJ Jori Hulkkonen co-produced the band's debut album Origin and it was released in Finland in March 2010 by Sähkö Recordings's sub label Keys of Life. The album reached number seven on the Official Finnish Album List. 

The East Helsinki pairing of Juho Paalosmaa and Tomi Hyyppä consolidated their position by supporting OMD on their UK Autumn tour. However, the two childhood friends went quiet afterwards and Juho Paalosmaa formed SIN COS TAN with ‘Origin’  co-producer Jori Hulkkonen;

SIN COS TAN’s three acclaimed albums to date, ‘Sin Cos Tan’ , ‘Afterlife’  and ‘Blown Away’ , plus their most recent EP ‘Smile Tomorrow Will Be Worse’ , filled the void left by VILLA NAH. But the Finnish duo are now back!

Live dates are planned for this summer, for example next one at Flow Festival, Helsinki on Sunday 14.8.2016 while the new “Ultima” album is set to feature songs such as ‘Love Chance’ and ‘Stranger’.
