Warriors of the Dystotheque – Lost In Your Silence Ft Lydia Kaye (Video)
“An unusual and memorable combination of genres such as neo-soul, downtempo and nu jazz elements. The lyrically designed composition, the instrumental introduction gradually introduces into the track, and the first-class sound design does everything to stay in the listener’s memory forever.”
“Необычное, от того и запоминающееся сочетание таких жанров, как neo-soul, downtempo и элементы nu jazz. Лирически оформленная композиция, инструментальная интродукция постепенно вводит в трек, а первоклассное звуковое оформление делает всё, чтобы остаться в памяти слушателя навсегда.”

Conjure jazzy ethereal pop on LOST IN YOUR SILENCE ft Lydia Kaye
Taken from new EP LOST IN YOUR SILENCE due 18th June via Fly Beat Music
Warriors of the Dystotheque return to their own label Fly Beat Music for the release of the 1st track from the forthcoming new album, LOST IN YOUR SILENCE features the vocal talents of Lydia Kaye (Kalahara) and has been produced on a remote island off the coast of France by the self proclaimed musical nomad, the legendary HOWIE B (Bjork, Massive Attack, Tricky, U2).
LOST IN YOUR SILENCE see’s WotD return to their jazz influenced broken beat sound and immersive vocals with British singer Lydia Kaye.
Lydia explains: “I was thrilled to team up the Warriors for their new release and had an instant affinity with this track, I was inspired by the jazz tipped style, reminiscent of the music I grew up with, it’s the kind of music I always wanted to make. I felt a real sense of freedom working on this song. It was really fresh and exciting to work with a new palette of sounds alongside an awesome collective of musicians that let me do my thing.”
She goes on to add: “The melody came instinctively and led me into this unresolved feeling of unrequited love, We’ve all been there – when the pain of waiting to hear from someone, leaves you in limbo and can have a maddening and numbing effect on your mind. Now having worked on this track with the Warriors we’re gonna do a few more for the forthcoming album, which I’m super excited about.”
In addition to the title track is An Island Affair Ft Abby Oliveira, Abby delivers spoken word over a lush string laden downtempo groove where she reminisces of all the years gone by visiting the White Isle and how we would swap our current lives in lockdown for another trip to the island of Ibiza.
