Floating in between

Glad that he took the time out to grow as an artist, he presents us with the first track off of his album, set to be released later this year. The track is called "The First", appropriately, and conjures up sounds influenced by latter-day Bonobo and Massive Attack. The track is intended as a summery "feel good" tune, and includes a shimmering gospel vocal sample, euphoric pianos, beautiful textural strings, a bouncy sax and the classic trip-hop breaks. It's dancey enough to get you moving, but downtempo enough to listen to seated with your eyes closed. "The First" started as a simple piano loop, a piece of audio recorded off of SONLIFE's phone. There was a section in the recording that SONLIFE listened to over and over again, which he pitch-shifted and distorted until it formed the foundations for the track. It's one of the first sounds we hear as the song eases in from ambience. SONLIFE was also assisted by friends who leant their instruments and their playing to the track; Emma Barnaby on strings, Sam Leach on piano and Ed Bernez on percussion. The track is an amalgamation of samples, original composition and live instrumentation. 

The First is available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.

The First

songe ou réalité
nuages spatio-temporels
où es-tu ?
nue
résonant dans l'ère du temps
flamme dimensionnelle
esprit fugueur
étincelles corporelles
nos moments deviennent présents
secrets de l'univers
encore et toujours
cycle ajour.

Mais ce que ce petit cachotier avait oublié de nous dire, c'est qu'on allait y trouver du jazz spirituel, essentiellement.

Total Eclipse Of My Brain

Oslo's finest are back with three impeccably produced Norwegian nu-disco slammers. 

We Don't Stop perfectly blends disco, pop and house into a late summer anthem for beaches, clubs and boat parties. Todd Terje, Todd Edwards and Daft Punk can all be heard, but the result is all its own and a perfect slice of fjord funk.

Treat Me Right goes more heads down but keeps the sunshine with chunky 4/4 beats, rolling chords and vocal stabs. 

Tusen Takk finishes things off in a disco prog direction with cosmic stylings, off-kilter acappellas, wonky synths, NRG bass and shifting arps. Good times with plenty of Norwegian wonk.

We Don't Stop

** PRESENTING THE FIRST OFFICIAL REISSUE PROJECT FROM MUSIC IS MY SANCTUARY ***

Born out of an era of occupied squats and DIY artist spaces, the Geneva-based “total art” collective had to cross an ocean to start finding an audience.

For us, the love affair with Black Citron’s music started when we first came in contact with two of their tracks appearing on a very obscure Montreal-based compilation titled ‘L’Album Blanc Vol. 2″.

Their music was experimental and groovy. Minimal and free. Organic and electronic. A sound which you’d have a hard time defining accurately without naming tons of different other genres and bands. One thing was for sure, it sounded cutting edge even by today’s standards.

As we started digging and investigating into the story of these two tracks we soon found out that they actually didn’t originate from our home city of Montreal, but were by a group from Switzerland who recorded them here in the late 80’s in the legendary Foufounes Electriques venue.

Black Citron were a collective of artists that had core members but also had others that would appear based on the project. Musicians, Designers, Photographers. The lead singer Evelyne Schumacher mentions the label “art total” as the best definition overall of the philosophy.

We fell in love with Black Citron, their music, story and artistic approach so much that we embarked on a project to create an anthology of all their work. An archival project we are happy to announce will get an official reissue on vinyl in full collaboration with the collective from Switzerland.

As a first taste of their music, here is “Revolution Rap” released in 1986 on a 7″ private press record under the Clinik alias. An incredible slice of experimental rap / post-punk / minimal drum machines. This track somehow gained an audience in Montreal and open up some doors for the band to travel to Canada and start the cross-Atlantic collaboration.

Although the recorded history Black Citron’s music only spans four years, they made some of most daring and revolutionary songs of that era. It has been a really incredible pleasure for us to dive deep in their catalog to gather their tracks which are spread out on vinyl and cassettes.

As a second preview, a taste of the upcoming reissue project, let’s jump forward to the last record Black Citron released officially, in 1990. Feast your ears on “Les Nouveaux Bisons.

We are in the final stages of gathering tracks, photos, prints in full collaboration with the band. We are beyond excited to bring all of this stunning music together on the definitive retrospective of Black Citron’s music.

More news very soon.

This album is the result of several years of professional, internal and spiritual transformation. These internal searches were inextricably synchronized with external searches. A new sound, a new language, a completely different sphere of perception and transmission of material.

The fusion of electronics, downtempo, ethnic music and a state of no-mind in contact with spirit and nature revealed a completely unexpected taste that immerses into a real journey and this is how it is recommended you listen to this album - from the beginning to the end. There are no 'passing' tracks in order to simply 'fill the space'. Each work is a deep and sincere revelation in collaboration with remarkable musicians and vocalists, real professionals in their field.
