Les Yeux Orange

BUY LINK : https://orcd.co/animlbreather Label: StrataSonic Records (https://soundcloud.com/user-612376213) https://www.instagram.com/stratasonic_records/ https://stratasonic.bandcamp.com/ Invoking shades of ‘90s and ‘00s masters like DJ Shadow and Portishead, both tracks, “Breather” and “Bruv,” illustrate time-lost scenes of sophisticated yet hallucinogenic instrumentation and percussion that could belong in upscale jazz clubs or woozy after-hours sessions. Breather expands the label’s breadth from timeless breaks and house music to include crackling, mind-altering trip-hop, acid jazz, and downtempo. The two songs are the building blocks for a larger, forthcoming body of work by ANIML, set for release in early 2025 alongside a vinyl release, video, and extras. Recognized by both mainstream (Billboard) and underground (Beatportal) tastemakers alike, StrataSonic was created to empower artists and explore the depths of their musical expression free from the confines of genre. From uptempo house to tribal to ambient, the label celebrates experimentation, champions artistic freedom, and embraces the beauty of non-conformity. Each release on the label will be available on vinyl and be accompanied by a music video. StrataSonic will also create bespoke merch lines alongside releases and host curated playlists by friends and family of the label, such as acclaimed DJ turned photographer Bill Patrick. Nestled in a private enclave in Los Angeles, StrataSonic's home is the state-of-the-art recording studios helmed by the label’s in-house producers and has become the music industry's best-kept secret. With an unparalleled collection of vintage gear and deep technology, this sonic sanctuary serves as a platform for both emerging and seasoned artists.
