|
|||
Lakeway is indie-pop band based in Kiev, Ukraine, founded by three best friends in the early 2013. The band is performing western-influenced music with sensual lyrics and romantic synths, inspired by their love to nature and human’s feelings.
The first EP “Beginning” consisting of five tracks has been released later in April and gained first popularity in their home city. Right after, Lakeway was invited to perform on the largest Ukrainian music festivals during summer and was noticed by Ukrainian radio stations.
Later on, in March 2015, the second EP called “Heartbeat” has been released and it had a quite different sound than we heard before. The melodies have become more powerful, gained a special tenderness, softness, atmosphere of desperate love and hate in one jar.

bea boX - Hush Hush
04:07
|
|||
This song is about escaping reality and finding a quiet place within ourselves where people know each other just by feeling and don't have to discuss anything. I can't tell a lot about how it came to me... I think I was deeply in need of this quiet place for myself so i created it with music and just a few words.
It has been recorded at Thank you for smoking Studio, in Montreal Canada, co-produced with Phil Pelletier who put his great touch on the arrangement.

This mantra is addresses to the God of the Sun - Surya, who controls the time and preserves the Creation.
"Mantras are not only make your worries go away and bring piece of mind and soul, but help to understand the nature of conscience and it is primarily a self-realisation practice for us. We get our inspiration in Mantras because they free our conscience of conditionality, which conceal it's creative nature. It's like having a breath of fresh air in the midst of concrete landscape. We are really glad we can share this treasure with our listeners. Once you've listened to it you get not only an aesthetic effect". Uma, Shanti People Vocalist
Natasha Uma - Vocal, Harmonium.
Bo - Sound Engineer, VJ.
Denis Shvets - Drums, percussion
Egor Bass - Bass.

Cepasa - Found You
06:03
|
|||
Cepasa makes emotional understated dance electronica that is sure to turn heads.
Going on a new beginning is always a risk, whether this is a movie sequel or Monday morning. This moment is a kind of crash-test of strength and belief that the way had been chosen right. The second Cepasa's album called 'Nove' became such an ordeal for him. It catches your attention first with its melancholic atmosphere and emotional depth that a lot of similar electronic music lacks. Lowered vocal pitches, slow drawing of swinging rhythm and variety of real-time effects - these are the distinctive features of every track in 'Nove'. The album also includes dance floor material, which was noted in the first Cepasa's album. Now there's no doubt new format of Cepasa with his album 'Nove" appears to be in a higher weight category.

KEMI - Shine
03:29

"This song appeared on one of the rehearsals, after one of the participants, Dizi showed us a demo he brought. He was demonstrating a session making changes in it and then he saved it by mistake. In fact, it all started with an error. We considered the session to be lost because it sounded completely different, but together we have created a song Shine we all got satisfied with in the end." - Katrin Dzigua

Jimmy Spoon's third release was written in collaboration with American producer LBN667. Ambient sounds, tending to future garage and Lo-Fi roughness is a recognisable feature of LBN667. Having combining an unusual singing manner for electronic music and LBN667's textures from beyond, Jimmy Spoon made a mix that is hard to describe. There are some strong emotions in the "Flow", these emotions develop into a solid conceptual story. It's a deep and lyrical yet #experimental work. It takes five tracks to take a listener through various layers and themes such as human relations and parallel worlds. With this record Jimmy got one step closer to his own sounding - nothing is restraining his singing tending to bluesy ardor and gothic detachment at the same time.

Water Hurts by Jimmy Spoon
When we walk
Into the flow
We start to realize
That nobody care
No one can tell
Which way is leading to top
You can just walk inside
Walk in the flow
And be ready for listless world
Your only saviors
From the hard truth
Your natives and your dream to reach
Flow doesn’t help
It didn’t save lives
Its not a miracle and it so cold
Prepare yourself
Don’t down your hands
Just be ready for surprise
Oh even water hurts, water hurts
Its fluid can show you senseless life
Oh even water hurts, water hurts
Grab the roots and you will reach the shore
Think what you want
Go where your feel
But never try to understand
Why stone is cold
Why space is black
It can distract you from the main fact
Flow doesn’t help
It didn’t save lives
Its not a miracle and it so cold
Prepare yourself
Don’t down your hands
Just be ready for surprise
Oh even water hurts, water hurts
Its fluid can show you senseless life
Oh even Water hurts, water hurt
Grab the roots and you will reach the Shore
Be part of a flow
Be part of a flow
Accept the core of the flow
Bring you colors with you
Only you can paint the void
Be part of a flow
Be part of a flow

Control Light - Mirrors
03:33
|
|||
This song contains a metaphor, where people are being depicted as mirrors and each of them is alone even though they are all together. The sunlight falls upon them, but being a mirror all they do is reflecting the light on each other. These sunbeams are just like tears. They relate to people. People actually lonesome, but co-exist looking in each other an addition to one-selves, look for one-selves in others. There is a line - "Will you ever fall in love again?"It shows the majority of people are being selfish, they wait until someone falls in love.
