Introducing COSMIC RESIDENTS v. 1, the first in an ongoing compilation series from Cosmic Resonance Records. This series will showcase emerging talent from Toronto’s underground creative electronic music scene. 

This first edition features local favourites and Cosmic Resonance residents Radiant Aura Faculty (aka Raf Reza), Korea Town Acid and Hemingway along with (and making their vinyl and Cosmic Resonance debut) Body Butter, WeTurnToRed and Smoke & Shadows.

On the A-side, Hemingway kicks things off with Astralnauts, a deep, dubbed out boogie breakbeat burner dedicated to explorers of the astral plane featuring fellow label don Chris Evans on rhythm guitar. Radiant Aura Faculty (aka Raf Reza) takes us even deeper with the mystical Cid Pit Riddim, a slamming 707 acid bender sure to melt any dance floor. Things get slippery with Body Butter’s debut single ‘Lights In The Hallway’, a timeless operatic pop opus featuring Neil Rankin (aka Burt Sugar), Chris Evans (aka Mr. Bliss) and Hemingway behind the board. On the flip side, things heat up with Shamanta Chandran’s project WeTurnToRed, featuring the progressive modular techno odyssey Warm Winter an escape from Toronto’s long and tumultuous blizzards. Emerging from the Mahogani Forest, Korea Town Acid reinterprets Hemingway’s emotional ode to the jazz aesthetic Blue Notes with her trademark cerebral rhythms and a masterful bassline that elevates the original to new heights. Closing it off, we have an amazing collaboration between Curtis Clark (aka Smoke of Lab.our Music) & Em Zy (member of Nikki Fierce) called Smoke & Shadows with their stellar debut single Convincing Thoughts that features Em Zy’s hazy vocal emanations amidst a backdrop of mystical reverberations and a dark, powerful groove.

Release dates for Vinyl & Digi TBA! 

Available soon through Honest Jon's Distribution.

Cosmic Residents Vol. 1 - Various Artists - Preview

The mall was packed full of people on what was a hugely busy Saturday afternoon - they wandered between bright glowing shopfronts with wasted purpose. The shopbeat they called it, the latest trend. From high end fashion through to low end electronics, it was everywhere and everybody wanted a little piece of the new. The glowing figures danced in the windows enticing potential customers inward to buy their useless products. Money poured from the pockets and this was to be the day it was spent...

A new release emerges from the Rush Hour camp titled "NUMERO U KNO". A new EP by Suzanne Kraft with whom you may be familiar with from releases on Melody As Truth, Kitjen and Running Back.

An artist of moderate success yet monumental influence, Weldon Irvine was a pioneer of jazz-funk fusion and Nina Simone's band leader. A major contributor to the 1970s Black Arts Movement, Irvine who wrote over 500 songs and over 50 theatre plays, was also integral to the evolution of hip hop, from its inception through its golden era of consciousness and heavy jazz-laden sampling, as we'll hear from Mos Def and Q-Tip.
