All tracks that say "Dunkin Fisco" are a part of my funky side project/party alter ego.

BIO:

Trevor Brandt’s passion for music began as a child in church, where he witnessed the intrinsic connection between community and music, and how music can lead to emotionally transformative experiences. Later, he moved to California, where he played in bands and was introduced to electronic music and DJing. He became so obsessed with it that he dragged his desktop computer to house parties, mixing using a mouse and keyboard.

Soon, he became enamored with music production, relishing the opportunity to fully express himself and his creative visions. He organized local events and was drawn to underground electronic music and its potential to evoke emotionally transformative experiences in a new kind of church—the dance floor. His love for music has always been rooted in its ability to connect us deeply with ourselves and bring people together. His productions reflect that sense of emotional transformation, characterized by beautiful, ethereal melodies and driving, hypnotic rhythms.

Currently residing in San Francisco, he recently started the “From Dust” project, inspired by the idea that everything comes from nothingness, including ourselves. Through this project, he explores the notion that we choose our meaning and can discover significance through the act of creation. It serves as a message of humility in the face of ego, reminding us that we came from dust and, while we briefly hold this form, we will one day return to dust.

To understand what makes Rend Collective so unique and special among worship artists, you have to go back—way back. Some 1500 years ago, the Irish missionary St. Brendan sailed from the Irish coast without maps or any clue where he was headed. “The only thing he knew was that God had called him,” says bandleader and drummer Gareth Gilkeson. And so Brendan chose to “go”: a bold act of faith that not only echoes the album title As Family We Go, but also speaks volumes about the songs.

It also tells you a lot about Rend Collective, a Northern Irish band that has ventured from its native land at the beckoning of an invisible hand. And they’re doing it differently than most other artists before them, living and working—singing and sharing the laundry duties—as a tight-knit family. It’s just the foundation to foster faith and community through music, and forms the heart and strength behind their latest effort.

And my, how this musical family has grown. This young, freewheeling band has seen so much recent success: from opening for the likes of Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman and Kari Jobe, to landing Christian radio hits such as the revival hymn, “Build Your Kingdom Here.”

The next logical step, then, was to hunker down in their private studio and work at a brisk, breathtaking pace—cutting the eleven tracks on As Family We Go in two weeks. As Gilkeson puts it: “There wasn’t much time for sleep—just going for it.”

In this case, sleep deprivation yielded divine inspiration. Then again, how many bands brave a family pilgrimage the way Rend Collective does? Or proudly present themselves as examples of a self-styled genre, “celebration music”?

Though that describes the sound on the new disc—a joyful mélange of foot-stomping acoustic grooves and full-on pop pockets worthy of U2—it only hints at the spiritual thread that pulls everything together.

“We want to make music that is journey music,” says singer Chris Llewellyn. “We notice that sometimes music is seen as the end goal, that a worship encounter is having a music experience. But that’s not really it; it should be the soundtrack to mission: community living, the soundtrack to a meaningful worship experience.”

We just want to chill, make reminiscing beats and create goodvibes really.
