“A Day in Sam’s Life” is about sar.casm’s cat and takes the listener through a typical day in sar.casm’s inimitable style, reflecting Sam’s different activities, moods and of course sleep – because anyone who’s ever owned a cat knows that they sleep – a lot!

Aviary Bridge Records’ third seasonal compilation album, released on 25th May, again challenged their artist roster (as with the “Autumn” and “Winter” compilation releases). This time the brief was to use organic/natural sounds and instrumentation to celebrate the coming of Spring.

Drchamploo has been composing for the past five years, during which time he has released four EPs: “Contemplations”; “Urban Waves” and “Groovebox” (Vols. 1 & 2) as well as composing for film, TV and video games.  Aviary Bridge are thrilled that he’s now releasing his first solo EP with them, having already featured him on some of their compilation albums.  His music fits nicely into the Lofi Hip Hop genre with lots of Jazz elements.

DC (Dust Collectors) is a collective of beat-makers that are spreading faster then you can imagine. The best beat-smiths from all around the globe join the movement. In association with Aviary Bridge Records DC brings you a new compilation series: DC Portraits. 

“Sage” is C l i m a t e ‘ s second offering and is a mixture of instrumental Hip Hop/Trip Hop with the now signature oriental instrumentation and glitch synths. The result is a surprisingly successful mix of upbeat funky moments with a feel-good vibe (even euphoric in places!).  The deeper purpose of this music is, as its title suggests, to highlight the wisdom of wise men from the twentieth century, conveyed cleverly throughout via speech samples which provide a clear narrative and a thought provoking experience.

Nomenclature (aka Espen Skagen) started experimenting with musical instruments aged nine and was producing his own music by fourteen, eventually leading to a career in the film industry as both a filmmaker and composer. Naturally, his music is heavily inspired by producers like Jon Hopkins, Burial, Nils Frahm and Jamie. Favouring the sounds of trip hop, trap and synth pop, he textures his music with a combination of heavy beats and bittersweet melodies .

PHÁSIN creatively programs sounds dependent on his mood at the time. Generally favouring ambient downtempo with future garage characteristics, the resulting music is heavily digitalised, relying on organic textures to evoke a dark atmospheric musical environment: PHÁSIN’s ultimate aim.

A little over one year ago now we released 'The Dream' by Electronic Dream Foundation. We had always planned for the well received album to have some sort of deluxe version, but now we present to you something even better: a new remix album complete with raw demo versions of Arise and Pulse.

As we did for Autumn, we challenged our current roster of artists to create a track for Winter. This time the tracks have been inspired by a picture of the Northern Lights, with an aim to capture the feeling of being in awe of nature's madjesty. 

An album which captures the nostalgia and reflection that rolls in with the first signs of autumn. We challenged our current roster of artists to come up with a lofi hip hop track which captures an autumnal feeling based on the image used for the album artwork.

Each track on Climate’s debut EP ‘Silk Road’ is artfully choreographed to capture the feeling of travelling along the Silk Road. Like one of the many routes of the Silk Road itself, the EP begins with a carefree afternoon in China, and later ends with our traveller crossing the border into India.

Although we are constantly communicating, Leon and I rarely see each other face to face as I live in the UK and he lives The Netherlands. However, last month we spent a few days together to discuss some changes to Aviary Bridge Records.
