Opening: What is to Cure? Sunday, September 16

WHAT’S HAPPENING:

Toronto-born, LA based mixed media sculptor, installation and digital artist Karen Lofgren reflects on her recent travels to Peru in her upcoming exhibition What is to Cure? By reshaping historical narratives surrounding colonialism and power through a more holistic, feminine lens, Lofgren dissolves the familiar and reaches into the void.

Materials such as aluminum, epoxy, and human hair used in Karen Lofgren's immersive installation reference ancient healing rituals such as “pulling through” and magical transference.

SG Lewis & AlunaGeorge release music video for 'Hurting' + Tour date announcement

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We love the chemistry between SG Lewis and AlunaGeorge’s latest, ‘Hurting’. AlunaGeorge’s vocal performance creates this dream-state atmosphere that not only pulls the listener in what feels like a soft blanket but is incredibly melodic and vibrant. The drums relentlessly drive the energy of the track as we’re led by a warm bass-line widely recognized in many of SG Lewis’s music.

‘Hurting’ marks the first single from ‘Dark’; the second phase of his upcoming three-part concept album ‘Dusk, Dark, Dawn’ which will be released via Casablanca/Republic Records this October 5th.

Listen to ‘Hurting’ ft. AlunaGeorge below and enjoy the newly released music video.

Listen here: https://SGLewis.lnk.to/Hurting

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“Aluna and I met for the first time in LA earlier this year, and I was talking to her about the album concept, and in particular, Dark. Aluna has been a part of so many dance records that I love, so I knew I wanted to make a club track with her! After we ate burritos and hung out, we made Hurting super quickly - the whole process was super natural between the two of us, and she has such an amazing ear for production.”

Kiddo Debuts With Breakup Anthem “Drunk and I Miss You”

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Kiddo’s 'Drunk and I Miss You' is something special to us. 

Reminiscent of a sound similar to Major Lazer and MØ's past collaborations, 'Drunk and I Miss you' is a record that brings feelings of nostalgia and saudade—while remaining fresh and original. The passionate lyrics and emotion in Kiddo’s voice is something that causes this track to stand out and have real, relatable substance to it with an accompanying groove that only emphasizes the ebb and flow of the emotion that Kiddo is portraying. Personally, we can't help but grooving along to this one every time we hear it.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“It's about a night out when you just lost someone you love so much, you are falling apart. You do everything you can to make the pain go away, escaping reality. At the end of the night you may fall, drunk-text, lose control and forget what your mind tells you… but your heart always speaks very clear.”

—Kiddo

Tyde remixes Yuki Ame's 'Circles'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

What do we have to say about Tyde's remix of Yuki Ame's 'Circles' other than it's absolutely brilliant? Well, it makes us pretty happy too. Yep! That's right, released just yesterday (Friday September 8th), the remix compilation for Bristol based Yuki Ame's latest.

Yuki Ame on the original: "The concept formed from wanting to combine the melodic and harmonic nature of folk and written song with electronic rhythm and synthesis"

Tyde's remix elevates the original and delivers elements of organic sound design, fruitful instrumentation, and brilliant technique. If you're a fan of down or mid-tempo instrumentals, you're going to LOVE Tyde's work.
