GUIDEDBYSPIRITS – Stars (Spotify)

Kori – Halfway Home (Spotify)
Listening "Halfway Home" from Kori and the so soft/elegan sound design of lush harmonies if offers, we think why been named as that. Its the nostalgic, relief emotion you feel like when you were away from big period from "Home" whatever means home for everyone (this could be relationship, your parents, your neighborhood etc) and finally return, when you are too close to reach your home and feel safe, beloved again.
Kori shared with us his thoughts about this song:
This is a song about the last few months of my life. The name signifies the slight sense of "in-betweenness" I'm feeling as I approach the end of my time at uni and prepare to get spat out into the world. Not a particularly novel or unique thing to be feeling, but something I am feeling nonetheless. The track has inspirations from all over the place; indie stuff comes into the intro while soundtrack music and ambient tunes inspired the "drop" (though that word doesn't quite suit the track).
Matan Arkin – Miracle (Spotify)
Miracle from Matan Arkin is a downtempo emotional song, with a Trumpet twist and a mellow euphoric atmosphere.

This track stands out from the rest with it's hypnotic beat and trance-like binaural movements . Each moment is purposeful, never stagnant, furthering this sonic narrative. While partly hides melancholic vibes at the end delivers a bright message.
Few words about Conradaxx
Conradaxx is the solo project of musician Alex Giles Conrad of Portland, Oregon. Conrad comes from a family of musicians who have dabbled in everything from the Northern soul scene of 1950's Philadelphia to rock and speed metal on the other side of the coast. While Conrad draws heavy influence and pride from these roots, he's never been one to follow suit. He grew up on 1990's American hip-hop and r&b, eventually branching out to electronic rock and EDM after the turn of the century.
As a multi-instrumentalist, Conrad began playing drums, the xylophone, and just about anything else he could get his hands on as a small child. Currently he also plays the guitar as well as analog synthesizers. Shying away from the mainstream, he believes that every piece of music he works through should be somewhat experimental in nature, achieving something new along the way.

111 – See You Again (Spotify)
Nadja, Singer & Songwriter of 111, wrote 'See you again' for her best friend who passed when she was 18 years old. At that time she had no emotional tools to deal with the overwhelming pain and it almost tore her apart. Because of all the pain, for a long time she wasn't really able to feel the deep, beyond-lifetime connection between him and her. Now she does feel it and from this exact place comes this song!
Few words about 111:
With 111, Nadja and her producer pick up the idea of 'healing music' with its scientifically proven benefits and translating it into a new sound aesthetic for a wider audience: No eso -cliché, but a fresh, organic ambient -electro-sound that gives the listener a feeling of relaxation and warmth. A lot of the songs are presented in 432 hz instead of the usual 440 hz pop-songs are presented in. Studies prove, that this frequency has more relaxing and empowering effects because it matches the natural vibration of the human body. 111 combines instruments from different musical traditions which are known for their touching and relaxing sounds, for example the monochord. The lyrics sometimes embed mantras from different religions which are known for their strengthening and healing effects, and are always positive and empowering.
With their new approach and understanding of ‚healing music‘, 111 brings together artists from all genres and all over the world, who also believe in the positive effects of rhythm, sound and voice! For example, for their song ‚protected‘ Nadja worked together with award-winning L.A.-based producer Robot Koch, with whom she also wrote the newest track 'See you again'. The successful Berlin-based producer-duo 'Dasmo & Mania' didi the production!

Nibana Interview on Nagamag.com
Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?
Nibana:
There is no "fit all" description as I'm producing quite a lot of diverse genres but most likely chillout and downtempo, some psybient, some bass music and glitch ... I like using the more generic genre electronic or electronica. I've produced some heavy psytrance for a bit, but I didn't stick to it after I released my album.
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Nibana:
I'm quite a newcomer in the electronic music genre even tho I've been producing it for a few years (about 8 now). I was mostly raised on my dad's hard rock playlist, 80s music and then fell in love with the metal scene. I've been a metalhead for most of my music journey, listening to the darker genres of it (hence my . My first approach to electronic music and the genres I produce now has been while playing video games (one of my biggest passion), and later during my first raves in France. I then got frustrated to not be able to tweak what I heard and decided to start my own music project. It then grew to an unexpected size and I've been able to tour all around the world and collaborate with my heroes whom many became my friends.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Nibana:
Honestly my entire childhood was filled with music. Both my parents enjoyed it a lot, despite no being musicians, and I've always been highly emotionally struck from movies' scoring to my parents playlist. I started playing guitar as soon as I could and it led me here. I was never planing to become a full time musician (I'm more of a science guy) but seeing my project get bigger motivated me to quit everything for it.
Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?
Nibana:
Départe "Wither"
Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?
Nibana:
Solar Fields "The Missing"
