Originally intended as the title track for ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS 2009 debut album WE ARE TO ANSWER, the song did not make the final cut for the album and remained among the hidden musical treasures of KABANJAK´s Evergreen Studio. Then in 2015, the song was rediscovered and made a free download on ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS Soundcloud page. 

Since that day, the song has gained nearly 80,000 plays on Soundcloud, inspiring Switchstance Recordings to officially release the song on all digital platforms worldwide. 

WE ARE TO ANSWER is not only a rediscovered song by ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS, but a stellar example of their trippy trademark style of dope beats mixed with deep organic grooves. A stripped-down melody combined with heavy drums and a groovy bassline build the foundation of this song and take listeners on an interplanetary space voyage with these two musical Astronauts. And when the beautiful guitar melody kicks in at the end, listeners are fully propelled into the cosmos of outernational dopeness by the Astronauts known as KABANJAK and DOGU. 

Grab your headphones and prepare for takeoff!

SWITCHSTANCE RECORDINGS 
Quality music for advanced listeners!

"Switchstance" is taken from the culture of boardsports, meaning the skill used to change the stance (easily) by switching one's foot position. The stance in freestyle Snowboarding or Skateboarding, is either riding in "regular" (left foot forward) or "goofy" (right foot forward) position. This identifies a really skilled rider and opens up a whole new world of trick combinations.

The label's creed and therefore the style of its producers and DJs is to have ultimate freedom, whether in their musical movements or in "switching" between various styles. The aim of the label is to combine early musical influences such as Funk, Jazz, Latin, 90´s Hip Hop and Reggae with the most progressive techniques of electronic music production in order to create a new dynamic sound that pays respect to the diverse cultures it comes from. It is the soundtrack of the lives of artists that dedicate their time and energy to produce cutting-edge grooves for a conscious and openminded generation.

Inspired by the label members' and friends' lifestyles in music, boardsports, arts and travels; the sound of Switchstance is always in motion and reflects a unique vision and attitude towards modern life.
