Seasurfer release “Dive in – the alternative Mix EP”
This “fan-edition” is only available via https://seasurfer.bandcamp.com/ and features four alternative mixes of songs from the debut Seasurfer album “Dive In” with singer Dorian E. The album brought Seasurfer worldwide attention in the dreampop and shoegaze scene, and was released by the cult label Saint Marie Records from the US/Texas.
The “Winterblume keen K-Mix” was done back in 2014 by producer keen K in Berlin, where Dorian recorded the vocals for Dive In. The other mixes are based on the last Seasurfer live shows with more electronic drums and sounds. In particular, the scene hit “Stay” gets a new, thrilling face here with its new beat machine drums and more electronics.
Dirk: “I’m still in love with Dorian’s vocals and the wall of sound of Dive In. The album opened a lot of doors and it felt good to play these songs live, also with other singers. But they work better with drums more in the front, the whole sound is different and more powerful. The keen K mix is back from 2014 and has a different, more pop sound. It doesn’t fit with the album, but again Dorian’s voice works so well. I think fans of Dorian and of Seasurfer will like the tracks.”
Big Irie Shares New Single “Static” From Latest EP Who To Trust
Born and raised in LA, Big Irie is an artist to keep an eye out for. Bursting on the music scene in 2019, the independent artist has since unveiled a series of impressive releases, citing artists such as Tyler, The Creator and Baby Keem as sources of inspiration for the different sounds and themes he brings to his music.
Chris Williams and Kid Reverie’s new album began with an inquisitive search for a simple sound. Having heard Steve Varney’s (Kid Reverie) open-back banjo accompanying fellow songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov on a YouTube video, Williams began tracking down something similar for his own personal collection. “That banjo sounded so amazing on one condenser mike, and I wanted to find one like it,” says Williams. After a long search, he landed on Varney’s website. Williams noticed that he offered lessons and decided to sign up for one or two. “I was so taken with his work and his instrument that I’d pay to talk to him,” Williams chuckles. Kid Reverie recalls, “Chris always came to our lessons with a solid idea. I routinely found myself saying something like, ‘This is great, now let’s make it a song.’”

In the video, the hitmaking rapper flashes his bedazzled rings (spelling out his familiar phrase “bacc end”) as he hops in his Rolls Royce and generates enough heat to flame on like the Human Torch.
