Horse Jumper Of Love Share “Airport” Track On Stereogum
Horse Jumper Of Love have shared their new single “Airport” on Stereogum. When talking about the track lead singer Dimitri Giannopoulos says, “One night in 2014 John and I were walking back to my apartment from somewhere and he told me he read this article about a person who fell through a ceiling at Logan airport. We went to my place and watched this experimental horror movie called “begotten.” it made me feel a certain way and I wanted to capture the image of something surreal so I took the story john told me and tried to make my own vague ominous version of it. We started playing the song live around then and it took us about five years to get the pacing and tone of this track right. We recorded it two separate times in the studio”

[House / Dance Music] Pascale Project Announces New EP on Orange Milk Records, Release New SingleThe Montreal based artist Pascale Mercier has been performing ecstatic dance music as Pascale Project since 2015, and her new album Be Urself will be her debut with Orange Milk and her first vinyl release. The music is inspired by classic house artists like Frankie Knuckles and Kerri Chandler but features Pascale’s low, full-bodied vocals repeating mantra-like lyrics on the impact of music and dance. On the track “Let Us Go” she sings the line “let yourself go, let us feel good” which is such a simple sentiment that illustrates Pascale’s philosophy about the transformative power of music; that losing yourself in the club or in a pair of headphones can help shed the excesses of your identity to reveal something like your essential being. Be Urself especially focuses on the communal aspect of those experiences and the way music can function as a shared language that often crosses cultural divides.
