Our Catalogue

SAISONS019 is here and we are happy to welcome back our label founder Kora.

This EP displays a diversity of warm colours, travel stories and distant melodies.

Tantale, Golconda and Tango are three songs that Kora started sketching in 2018. Created with recordings from various coordinates, the EP radiates a diversity that has been painted by the brushes of people and places that Kora connected with as he was on the road, as always trusting and following the path where music is taking him.

From Allen Husley's qanun to Özdemir Güz's oud, Ra*faelle's Earth language and Alonso Rivero's drums fills, the percussive and energetic release is a travel journal that highlights our world's beautiful sounds and colourful creativity.

Thank you for listening, we hope you are resonating with this release!

Premiere: Dexter Crowe - Apoth [Saisons]

SAISON020 by @dextercrowe

We are delighted to be reunited with our talented friend Dexter Crowe for his very first original EP titled ''Platypus''. With this energetic release, we explore a unique and captivating sonic spectrum by one of Australia's most creative producers. 

The first track ''Platypus'' is an imaginative bass driven percussive piece, inspired by one of the most interesting animals on Earth, native to Australia's unique biodiversity. 

In his own words, the Montreal-based producer explains the origin of the title: "Somehow the feeling of this beautiful mix of both dangerous and cute, maternal yet independent seemed to fit with the song. It has some darker elements and emotions but still carries a certain lightness and optimism." 

For the second track, we invite you to the immersive destination of "Apoth", taking us away from terra firma. A voyage into deep space where the music mysteriously interlocks synth melodies and powerful rhythms, a journey that feels like a cosmic ride through the galaxy, passing by lost worlds and distant nebulas. 

Dexter is an essential member of our label family in Montréal and we are so excited to witness his music ascension, fuelled by his inspiring dedication and passion. We couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate our 20th release! 

We hope you enjoy this EP!

Our beloved duo @Madota is back on Saisons with their first original EP. A project that embodies a pivotal chapter for them after a long time apart on different sides of the world. After experiencing humanity on pause from different coordinates, Behnam and Mehran finally reunited in Berlin, picked up the energy where they left off and dove straight into the studio with a new approach to their creative process.

In the light of everything happening in their motherland of Iran, they feel more called than ever to celebrate their heritage. In this 2-track EP, you can feel Madota’s roots. It’s a voyage into their past that taps into the energies and the stories of where they come from…and it only feels like the beginning.

'Roobah' is playful with colorful roots. The duo created this track from blending piano pieces of Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou - an Ethiopian nun who they grew up to love, mixed with Ahmad Shamloo’s audio recreation of "The Little Prince". The audio tapes and CDs of Shamloo’s work became illegal after the Islamic Revolution.

The result of this sonic painting is a celebration of both stories in a deep and jazzy groove with warm soulful harmonies. Dusty and playful. An ode to life and freedom.

'Del' is the darker and deeper track of the pair. The groove is rooted in a dense and weighed down rhythm coupled with shreds of dusty pianos. Behnam’s voice guides the story, singing 'Del' which means ‘Heart’ in farsi. The lyrics come from an old persian poem that goes something like:

O heart, if you love
Seek comfort
In the heart of day and night

The track embodies Madota’s overflow of emotions that come up in reviving their relationship with their roots while also honoring the courage of their people in their fight for freedom.

A part of the proceeds from this release will go to support families in Iran.

The convergence of artistic minds births magical synergies that inspire the creation of wonders beyond the grasp of singular imaginations.

Tucumán & Rembrandt are sonic illustrations of that and we are grateful that @fabiankrooss joined forces with the @kon-faber duo to create this energetic EP as we celebrate SAISONS022.

Berlin-based Kon Faber & Fabian Krooss are masterful electronic musicians whose works are characterized by an artful blend of futurism and intricate, emotional soundscapes. Their songs are carefully crafted, pulsing with deep grooves and jazzy melodies that transport the listener to earthy, fantastical realms.

Each note is imbued with hope and a sense of wonder, creating a truly unique and profound listening experience. Whether you're lost in the dreamlike textures or caught up in the infectious rhythms of their groovy beats, Kon Faber and Fabian Krooss are sharing an EP that leaves us inspired and uplifted long after the final note has faded away from the dance floor.

We hope you enjoy this EP as much as we do!

From the sun-kissed coast of LA and the captivating energy of Beirut, the two brothers @sarkis_mikael & @hrag-mikkel join forces with their friend @pambouk as they seamlessly merge their individual talents and embark on an awe-inspiring journey together skillfully layering sounds to create a cosmic soundscape that is both progressive and melodic.

Drawing from their shared Armenian heritage, the title itself, "Hishadagner," resonates with a profound sense of meaning as it translates to memories and encapsulates the power of time — The fragments of our past that shape our present and propel us into the future.

We are truly grateful to welcome them on the label for SAISONS24 !

SAISONS025 is here!

Thrilled to have @dextercrowe returning to Saisons Musique, a seasoned maestro & inspiring friend taking our label sound to new realms! With his comeback, we unveil an exciting dimension by introducing @dersy_mtl in his debut appearance, enriching the release's harmony.

United by a passion for life, music, and sports, Dexter & Dersy's bond flourishes in Montreal – their cherished second home. With a penchant for bouncy house melodies and afro-inspired rhythms, their connection thrives both on and off the dancefloor.

Their shared journey culminates in the studio with "Ahmetcha," a track that embodies their spirits. Rooted in a solid bassline and irresistible groove, this collaborative summer anthem captivates any setting.

Our 25th catalogue release marks a significant chapter for Saisons Musique. In tribute, we've partnered with the gifted photographer and visual artist Ashlee Delanee, conjuring a new artwork edition that encompasses music and life’s constant evolution.

May this song resonate with you as it does with us!

Thanks for listening,

Saisons Musique

Like ice and stars, we are ephemeral: finite beings passing through infinity, dancing on cosmic minutes.

We are grateful to present this beautiful EP by our friend @kalamanmusic.

With his second appearance on the label, the Colombian-born artist shares two new pieces: "The Den" and "Ephemeral".

Playful, groovy, minimal. This release has a colourful palette of emotions, a ray of light amongst the clouds… and we trust it will butterfly wherever it resonates.

Thank you for being here!

Ubuntu is "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity." Derived from the profound Nguni Bantu term meaning "humanity," it is often translated as "I am because we are," or "humanity towards others."

Ubuntu is an indigenous philosophy from Africa grounded in humanistic values and principles of solidarity, kindness, cooperation, respect, and compassion.

The original song "Ubuntu" composed by @kora-musique & @wuachuma gave life to a short film offering a mesmerizing visual narrative set against the breathtaking landscapes of West Africa in a coastal community of Ghana with local talent Roland Boakye acting as the main role alongside the involvement of a large amount of local participants who helped co-create a story of Ubuntu.

We are thankful for our talented friends from Québec Julian Thomas and Renaud Jacob who directed, filmed, and edited this cinematic journey of connection and evolution as the song became the soundtrack of a beautiful story of unity.

The video will be released on November 23, 2023.

We hope this project can help spread hope and remind us of our humanity and our interconnection.

We thank everyone who contributed to this project, especially the community of Ghana who participated in the film with so much authenticity. 

With love,

Kora, Wuachuma and the Saisons collective.

@EvrenFurtuna & Hermanez are honouring us to do the first remixes of our catalog since the launch of Saisons.

We believed the cosmic elements from Dexter Crowe’s Platypus EP could take us to new realms if we asked some of our favourite artists to reinterpret them!

Evren Furtuna created an emotional voyage stamped by his signature flow and mindful equilibrium, deeply honouring the original Platypus.

Hermanez gifts two hyper dimensional groovers as he flips Apoth into a refreshing bouncy piece, as always pushing sonic boundaries.

We are so delighted to share with you the Platypus & Apoth Remixes.

We hope you dig them!

‘Feel’ embodies a moment in our day to day of being human.

With the endless amount of noise clenching our world, ‘Feel’ tip toes on the thin line that fragments each moment that comes to us, the push and pull of our hearts to feel the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the love and the pain.

Because after all, to feel is what makes us human.

In honor of today's celestial event, we're thrilled to share our song with you. This new version of Tamanaku came together during a powerful portal moment with the talented Reg Ina in the studio, with her voice, whistles and shruti box. We dedicate the song to those moments when the cosmos aligns to open the doors of dimensions.

As the total solar eclipse marks a chapter of transformation, may it serve as a powerful moment for stepping into a new chapter of our lives, filled with boundless possibilities.

With love,

Reg Ina & Kora
