Rocket Empire (The Om Records Collection)

Recorded from 2020-2022 in Portland, Oregon - Rocket Empire are back with their 6th studio album “Todas Partes” translated from Spanish to English “Everywhere”. The meaning behind the album title is based on where music ends up and is listened to, and cities that have a special meaning to each band member. 

Having worked through the entire Covid pandemic, Jon and Dave would meet up every two weeks for 2 years to work on the album: This album has pre and post pandemic songs, and it really captures a unique time the entire world experienced. The tracks are what you can expect from Rocket Empire, lush & deep atmospheric sounds, chilled house, downtempo, dub, and bass heavy ear candy. 

Lima is the perfect lead off to the new album setting the stage for the journey. Booming bass fires up the engines as we prepare for take-off! 

Heidelberg turns up the heat launching into the broken beat deep end as the layers of sound envelop like a blanket of stars.

"While I’ve made many early morning expeditions to Robot Heart, this was my first adventure playing the famous bus. It was a bespoke musical experience and a true honor to play and become part of the family. Dust storms had been blowing amok that night, so many parties had been cancelled; yet so many fabulous people came out to dance and make it an unforgettable party.

My sound explores the spaces between groovy & psychedelic. I always try to bring a deeper experience to the dance floor without taking things too seriously. I want people to experience a heightened connection with the music, but most importantly just laugh and have a good time. I hope that vibe shines through in this recording. Much love."

“Other Worlds” was inspired by a new collage from Sebastian Wahl , which we brought to life with the help of Black Lake Media. The collage shows portals emerge and unfold and evolve within and around a picture frame… a magical gateway, like the wardrobe in The Chronicles of Narnia.

On a sunny day in Brooklyn I sat down with @DorfexBosMusic to write a piece of music to go along with the visuals, and the ideas just came pouring out. We finished the song in 24 hours flat, with various instruments and sounds mapped to various details and dimensions of the various worlds within the collage.

Reflective (Part 4)

Bassnectar - Leprechauns Arise ft. Sunru (Mothership Mix) ◈ [Reflective Part 4]

Talk is the standout first single from the upcoming debut Jade on Om Records. Reminiscent of London Grammar if they went down south, Talk is a slamming electronic pop heavyweight with deep bass drops and Sami’s powerful sweeping vocals floating over top. Sami explains “Talk started with the hook, the ‘we don't talk about it anymore...we don't love the way we did before’ really says everything there is to say. The verses are the details. The song isn't just about one person or one thing that happened, it's about everything that's left unsaid; every little thing that ends up seeping thru your cracks and changing things...being without the things you want and need.” This is surely the start of amazing things ahead.

Lyrics:
I woke up from a dream
We open from the scene
How do you live without blood in your veins?
We went cold from the lack of heat…fame

We don’t talk about it anymore
We don’t love the way we did before
We don’t talk about it anymore
We don’t love the way we did before

Easy come easy go, got a lot to live for but
I’m alive , you should know
Something changed but you look the same
Walls came up, we survived, its the fall of the ocean
When she laid upon the gold, believing there was something to hold
I’m alive, you should know..

Produced from summer 2018 to autumn 2019, Caves was recorded entirely in Rocket Empire members Dave Dish and Jonathan Cates’ hometown of Portland, Oregon.
 
Caves showcases the history of Rocket Empire - from the distant past of working in record stores and the excitement of the first notes from a favorite artist’s freshly dropped track to the vastly different musical landscape of today. Social media now allows Rocket Empire to connect with fans from across the world, giving them insight into who they are and which songs speak to them.
 
With that connection in mind, Rocket Empire wrote Caves as a love letter to the fans. With this album, Rocket Empire were able to do what they do best – collaborate and have fun! The brotherhood and working relationships of the band remains the best part. Making music they love and sharing that music with the world has always been the goal. Have fun, make music, and see where the journey takes you!
 
Caves can be dark, but holds mystery and beauty. You never know what you might find around each bend, and the journey can be even more extraordinary than the destination.
 
We hope you enjoy exploring this new collection, and we’re so grateful to the fans for all the support and love over the years. Thank you for allowing Rocket Empire to be a part of your journey. – Credit: Nastassia Reichel
