Nature explorer and musician Land Of Trees unveils the video for ‘See The Fire Dancing’ via Land Of Trees Music. The zestful musician first used poetry to express his love for nature, afterwards this love was put into his music.

The video begins with a shot of the scattered lighting of the Varberg Theater, which twinkles like fireflies and stars in a cloudless night sky. The dimed back area of the theatre, together with the lighted stage, give the video a futuristic quality that is akin to a spaceship that can only be found billions of years into the future. The thought that comes to mind is how connected and similar the future is to the present and also how the past is connected to the future because fire and light shine bright in all civilisations and will most likely shine in the same manner for future generations.

Land Of Trees discusses the chosen venue for the video: “For most of the band it was the first time seeing Varberg Theater in all of its glory. It’s a well-preserved old theatre with a lot of soul. After setting everything up with lights, cameras and microphones, it was just a matter of actually recording the live session”.

Norwegian pop producer Sindresu shares his ‘Daydream’

Norwegian electronic producer Sindresu has shared his new pop song ‘Daydream’. The record reminds us of the emotional tunes of the mega-hit producer Kygo. It’s as if the record begins in the middle, and we are thrown into the deep end, left to swim in the producer’s optimistic production. Built around a strong lead vocal, all of the instruments work together to serve a sweet and chewy centre, making for a song that is both concise and clean.

Stream on Spotify – iTunes

Turning a negative into a positive, Sindresu tells us about the obstacles that inspired the upbeat track, saying that “daydream is about escaping reality during dark times and is inspired by a difficult period in my life. I experienced serious burnout, which left me with declined health for a time. This song tells the story of being stuck in an unfulfilling life and dreaming of better days”.

Based in the capital of Sweden, the Stockholm resident has been involved in the world of music since he was 5 years old. As a child, he learned to play the violin and continued to explore sound by learning to jam 6 strings. With experience playing the guitar, violin, and even piano, he now tinkers with bits of Tropical House and bobs of Pop.

Producers HAELIUM and Kasztan have teamed up to create a new single ‘DOR’. The collaboration has been released under Stemina Recordings, a brand-new record label that Kasztan is spearheading, and sees the two artists pour their creativity into an emotive record that progresses from a bare-boned, percussive beginning to a fleshed-out, multi-layered climax, undergoing a lifetime of growth in just under 4 minutes.

Stream / Download: HAELIUM x Kasztan – ‘DOR’

An award-winning musician, Kasztan is a French Electronic producer who has toured with the French music group M83. More than a stage moniker, he has composed music for the screen, scoring The Illusionists documentary among other televised projects.

HAELIUM, also of French origin, is both a producer and classically trained pianist. It is unsurprising that he names composer and fellow friend of the keys Jon Hopkins as a wellspring from which he draws inspiration.

Kasztan tells us about the debut of the label and more, saying, “My manager and I decided to launch this new label Stemina Recordings. I’m super happy that the first release is a collaborative work with Gabriel/Haelium. I love his work”.

KARMACODA release brand new song ‘Time Flies’ and LP Lessons In Time

Fearless and profound band KARMACODA shared a new LP Lessons In Time and the song ‘Time Flies’, both via Sola Musa Music on the 28th of October. The San Fransisco, USA-based band has consistently mesmerised their fans with their universal sound that is likened to the music of the likes of Paloma Faith, and Adele among others.

Stream / Download: KARMACODA – Lessons In Time LP

The new LP Lessons In Time is a careful mixture of reinvigorating vocals and satisfying downtempo. The 13-track LP takes listeners on a musical feast: for example, ‘Lovely’, the first track, is a euphoric downtempo song that attains the bliss point with its layback piano notes followed by leisured drums beats, and the second track ‘Fly By’ is a beautiful R&B song that is accentuated by the crash and ride cymbal and the hi-Hats, producing a sound that is light and sophisticated. The tenth track, ‘beyond the pale’, contains a special blend of jazz saxophones and melancholic vocals resulting in a ballad that explodes with emotions.

The dynamic band KARMACODA tell us about the songwriting philosophy adopted for this LP: “The songs on Lessons In Time were written from reflecting on my life, looking back in time, reliving my best memories. No regrets. These songs are lessons in time. I decided it was time to tell it, not all of it, but some of the more memorable moments while resting in where I am today”.
