George Winston Releases New Track “Medley: Muskrat Ramble / I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ To Die Rag / Stop The Bleeding”

By virtue of his brilliance as one of the foremost instrumental composers of our time, Restless Wind presents a stunning journey documenting George Winston’s sociological observations in American history.

Chelou Shares ‘Out Of Sight’ LP Via Concrete Dog, Announces US Tour Dates

If the Chelou sound is a blissful brand of melancholy it’s rooted as much in the 21st century. Dance music was a staple when he was younger with its electronics and ballad-esque vocals having it’s own impact on this musical output. Fittingly producer / DJ Maya Jane Coles has been a key mentor – Chelou featured on two of her tracks ‘Believe’ and ‘Darkside’ and she was the main collaborator in shaping and making Out Of Sight along with Cam Blackwood (George Ezra, London Grammar, Florence & The Machine) and LOXE.

Walk Off the Earth have collaborated with Lisa Loeb on a re-imagining of her hit single, “Stay (I Missed You),” coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the song’s original release. “We’re so happy to be working with Lisa on this re-make of ‘Stay,'” the band says. “We knew that the song’s 25th anniversary was approaching and being fans, we wanted to do something special and make the track different than the original but still keep the magic of it. Lisa was amazing to work with and was so open to our ideas.” The admiration is clearly mutual. Loeb adds, “When Walk Off The Earth reached out to me about wanting to come up with their own version of ‘Stay (I Missed You),’ I was thrilled, as I’ve been a fan of the mind-blowing arrangements I’ve seen and heard from them. They came up with a take on the song that’s unlike anything I could have come up with on my own.”

new Anja Kotar remix

Quote from Anja Kotar: “I was so excited to connect with BEAUZ for this remix as I’ve been a fan of their music for quite some time now! It was really eye opening to give the song into someone else’s hands and let them present it with their own vision and style. I absolutely love the end product: I like to say it’s ‘Kids’, but if you played it on a beach at sunset. :) ”
