August to August - Altamont

“Altamont” the latest single from August to August, now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

“Altamont” is a single from August to August’s sophomore LP, “Slow Down”. The lyricless track mixes a Julien Baker inspired guitar riff with bright keys, steady hip hop drums, inaudible rhythmic vocals, and a lead saxophone line giving it a lofi feel.

August to August is a one man band from Spokane, WA that mixes acoustic drums with ambient synths, guitars, keys, vocal samples, and more to create an ethereal lofi hip hop sound. The artist is known for a live solo performance that involves switching between and simultaneously playing keys, a Roland Octapad, and an acoustic drum kit.

After a decade of drumming in and touring with various bands from the Pacific Northwest, Jayson Orth began this solo project. What started as an experiment to push himself artistically turned into something he began to share through his unique performance style.

August to August’s sophomore album, “Slow Down”, was released independently on February 9th, 2024 on vinyl and all streaming platforms. It was written, produced, mixed, and mastered by Jayson Orth.

The album "Impact" is located between dark ambient and space ambient. The artist's goal is to imagine, through the 10 tracks of the album, the atmosphere in a distant space colony on the verge of being destroyed by a gigantic meteorite. Tracks with disturbing sounds alternate with other more melancholic ones in order to explore the inevitable and tragic destiny of the fragile human installation.

The album is available on Bandcamp, YouTube, and on major streaming platforms.

Casajack - Doopbeat

New track entitled "Doopbeat" by artist Casajack, now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

An ethereal offering, the first single from newcomer Casajack evokes the warmth of sun-dappled island afternoons, dotted with melodic vocal samples, minimalist guitar lines and a laid-back groove.

Speaking on the track, Casajack said:

“I made ‘Doopbeat’ after an absolutely unreal summer in Ibiza last year. I wanted to capture the feeling of watching the sun dip behind the horizon each night, the blue sky slowly filling with a fiery orange. I hope I’ve bottled those moments with this track.”

About Casajack:

Irish producer and DJ, Casajack, is an artist of considerable range. From light and playful electronic beats with bubbling basslines to edgy synths and darker rhythms, each track exhibits the producer’s ability to blend technical skill with emotive depth.

Looking ahead to 2024, expect a range of captivating instrumental releases that encompass harmonically rich electronic sounds. Traversing the scope of electro and house, Casajack isn’t afraid to experiment with sound and challenge the notions of what is expected.

Glen Neff - Eternal Awakened

"Eternal Awakened" the new single by Glen Neff, now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Santa Fe musician and painter Glen Neff fuses his love of instrumental melodic improvisation with a steady hand in the digital studio. Blending spacial sound sculptures and globally influenced electronic music with melodic jazz improvisation. Ambient/chill is one definition given to this music, Neff's work will tickle that perhaps dormant spot in your ear canal in some pretty intriguing ways. While there is a heft of traditional African, Punjabi-Bhangra, Eastern European and Middle Eastern influence running through Neff's rhythmic and vocal-sample veins, Neff deftly adds more contemporary meat to the musical muscle, with layers upon layers of synth, live instruments, effects, drum programming and out-of-left-field genre inclusions. It takes a careful listen to sift the latter out, but it’s worth the ride if you want a mellow escape.

News Flash! - Glen Neff's music is being released with the Monroe Institute for use in study/meditation programs.

Rom - Gravity

The latest and debut single of 2024 by Rom entitled 'Gravity', is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

rom, a celestial auditory artist, emanates from the primal genesis of the cosmos. A dual entity split into two distinct souls – Romrres and Rrombus, rom embarks on a transcendent journey across the universe, communicated through the medium of ethereal soundscapes.

Having appeared alongside some of the biggest names in their space, including Doctor P, Frida K, and Eda Lovelace, rom has solidified their place in this dimension as one of the most exciting up and comers this side of the universe.

From the farthest reaches of space, Romrres and Rrombus commence their journey towards unification. Having spread their sonic odyssey at places like The Gorge Amphitheater, as well as venues all across Seattle, Los Angeles, and Albuquerque — They spread their grand narrative, depicting encounters with allies and adversaries, triumphs and losses, and moments of profound introspection.

The narrative of rom is not merely a cosmic tale but a mirror held up to the human experience. It echoes the emotions, conflicts, and resolutions each one of us grapples with in our own lives. In the rich tapestry of rom’s music, we don’t just find entertainment—we find a reflection of our collective existence. Tune in to the frequency of rom, and embark on a journey of universal discovery, realizing that we are all traversing the same cosmic journey, together.

"At this point in our story we have seen Romrres - the masculine half of rom -  awaken in a new land, face his demon “Arrogance”, and meet some new friends to conquer the “MAMMOTH”.  The listener now finds themselves shifted from lands of sand and tribalism to a cool, dark, forest. A hooded figure stands in front of a purple and gray byzantine portal, a simple shape stands out on an otherwise black cloak".

“Gravity” marks the beginning of  Rrombus’ journey. As the feminine half of rom, she spins the tale of love, bravery, and finding your way home. Join her on the path of the moon today"!

Released on the 19th of January 2024.
