Prepare to get Entangled in the minds of Stan and Scatz.  

Here's what each of them has to say about "Entangled":

Stan (Sam Goodman): 
“The idea to name the track ‘Entangled’ stemmed from the concept of two artists weaving ideas together to form one whole, complete piece.  It can be viewed as entangled in terms of ideas, but also sonic qualities, like how my end of this project was mostly the acoustic end while Mitch took care of most of the digital elements.”

Scatz (Mitch Bilodeau): 
“And me being me, it's difficult to avoid my inner science nerd that also associates entanglement with quantum physics and the laws of our universe. This idea that two independent particles can entangle and then share properties regardless of how close together they are is thought-provoking and inspiring. I find it kind of related to how Sam and I worked together on this track --separated by the distance between our homes, but still bringing our individual visions together to one cohesive piece that plays back and forth within itself.”


While Stan & Scatz each have very distinct, unique sounds, their fusion is an entirely different animal altogether.  Individually, they each thrive in the realm of melodic bass music, utilizing their skills as multi-instrumentalists to record organic, original melodies on a multitude of different instruments.  It’s no surprise, then, that their collaboration follows suit and delivers a refreshing dose of originality and musicality.

“Entangled” begins with a simple acoustic guitar melody that eases the listener into a space of thoughtful contemplation, utilizing the silence between the notes to create a feeling of spaciousness.  A second guitar eventually joins in and fills those spaces with complementary plucks in a higher octave, formulating the melody that will drive the rest of the song.  Now comes the fun part- a beat comes in with creatively-timed bass kicks and enough low end to vibrate your ear wax into a slimy paste.  The way the sub-bass rolls through different frequencies and intensities makes the listener feel as though he is riding a roller coaster, as the subtle shifts and crescendos create depth and shape within the soundscape.  

“Entangled” progresses and evolves as additional layers and melodies are introduced, demonstrating the vision and technical skill of these two top-notch producers.  Grab your free download and share!

Balkan Bump & CloZee - Varshaver

Our new single with CloZee : "The lost voices" is out now.

--> Forthcoming EP "ORGANIC" out on July 2nd, on Gravitas Recordings.

--> Stream and Dowload: https://lilfish.fanlink.to/organic

"Alongside the title, the term “organic” is manifested in two unique ways within this personal and introspective project. First, it depicts the organic side of acoustic instruments. It illustrates the warmth and richness of ethnic instruments and the emotions that visual images may elicit. The tracks featured are mixed with deep, energetic electronic rhythm and atmosphere to travel along a musical journey. Second, it is organic by being rooted to nature, in connection with the essence of life. Organic contrasts with the technological world, which tends to distance people from the essence of life over time. This EP evokes the desire to become aware and to stay grounded through mind traveling music".

LIL FISH - The Lost Voices Ft. CloZee

West coast bass music favorite Phutureprimitive returns with a collection of songs featuring five unreleased original tracks, a new remix of ‘Praise Her’ by Desert Dwellers, and three previously released singles, including collaborations with An-Ten-Nae, Adey Bell, Joe Muscatello, and NIMITAE. ‘Congruence’ is a strong musical return for Phutureprimitive, and releases on the first day of his upcoming ‘Altered Frequencies’ co-headline tour with An-Ten-Nae.

‘Congruence’ is a reflection of Phutureprimitive’s own journey into his psyche, spanning over the last several years. Seeking to shine the light of awareness on his blind spots, presuppositions, motivations, and core fears, his own personal work has influenced the creative process and approach to producing music. Finding deeper levels of self-acceptance and moving through the world with a greater level of choice, influence, and congruence, has shaped the development of this release.

Phutureprimitive’s focus on emotion, and drawing from life experiences, allows for the continuation of the project to be a reflection of his own personal evolution. ‘Congruence’ being the latest insight into Phutureprimitive’s process, offers his most polished, refined and graceful release to date.

Congruence

...Vaporized into Dust on a Faint Breeze

Somatica

Altered Frequencies (Phutureprimitive Edit)

Phutureprimitive is the moniker of Bay Area producer and songwriter Rain. Early childhood photos reveal Rain sitting at the piano plinking keys, grinning from ear to ear… a true sign of things to come. Continuing his early fascination, Rain was later drawn to electronic music, inspired by its ability to combine the best of organically played instruments and the synthetic pleasures of sounds more exotic to the human ear. After beginning a DJ career in the 90s, Rain began incorporating the music he was making in his home studio into his DJ sets. That was all it took to trigger a full blown love affair with electronic music and the process of its creation... and Phutureprimitive was born.

Phutureprimitive's music is best described as dripping wet love drops of nasty mind melting sonic bliss. Lush melodies drift across intricate rhythms, groove heavy beats and warm, fuzzy bass lines. Often exploring a dark and dense palette, there is also a profound sense of tranquility and beauty, engaging the listener into hypnotic movement and often escalating into a full-on kinetic experience. Shimmering with cinematic qualities, his music ultimately speaks to the body, mind and soul.

Despite electronic music's tendency to suffer a short shelf life, Phutureprimitive has already demonstrated a timeless quality with his debut album "Sub Conscious" on Waveform Records, which remains the top seller on the label since its release in 2004, obtaining a cult status among fans and collectors. With a string of singles released in the interim on various labels, the birth of Native Harmonix (Rain’s own Record Label) brought us the “Luminous” EP in 2010; delving into a lyrical based production, supported by undulating synth work and a palpable haunting texture throughout. His second full-length release “Kinetik” forged new territories of emotional electronic dance music, exploring a heavier, bass-centric sound that adds raw energy to intricately detailed tracks. "Kinetik" remains on the iTunes Top 100 Electronic Music Chart, 3 years after its release.

With a new collection of songs released in 2 parts titled “Searching for Beauty in the Darkest Places,” he takes ideas from his previous releases and supercharges them with hard-hitting dancefloor appeal, while maintaining the depth and prowess this trusted producer is so well known for. His first national headlining tour in Fall 2013 debuted his collaboration with ritual dancer Caeli La. The tour launched with the release of their first official music video, "Lucid Dream," a collaboration with multi-media production team Vinton Depiction & Michael Miller, the animation/visual effects creator behind NBC's "Grimm." The Dance Out Your Demons Tour featured an interactive game, in which the audience members write down a "demon," fear, or something they are letting go of on a piece of duct tape, stick it to the bottom of their shoe, and then "dance out their demons." Due to the success of DOYD, Phutureprimitive announced that they will continue to incorporate the game on future tours.
