“Stray Nights” is the new single from LA indie-electronic artist Stephen, taken from his forthcoming album Akrasia.
When asking Stephen about the song, he explains the song as having 2 layers. The outer layer represents his longing for someone who is so not trying to be anyone, who is so outside the drama, who doesn’t belong in a big city. The deeper layer is the personification of breathing and meditation, of coming home to the now, the heart, the compassion, the total lack of expectation and just pure acceptance of what is. The return to nothingness.
With the Covid-19 virus still going on, obviously the festival season is being missed as we wait out this epidemic safely in our own quarantined homes. This track has a ton of energy, and will be great for festivals once they are back in business. The track builds up to a hook that could be great for some dancing and head banging. Check out the track below, or on our playlist page on our “New Age Energy” playlist.

Flow-bending artist aSanTIS discusses art, culture, and whether sound can solve the world’s problems in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
My interview with Amy Santis aka aSanTIS began in the most unexpected way. The Maryland-based flow-bending artist and lyrical storyteller came prepared to engage in conversation around questions I had posed – and she also brought one or two of her own thoughtful prompts based on her curiosities around my view of learning.
This practice of taking in her surroundings deeply through observation and inquiry has come naturally to aSanTIS ever since she was a young child. In terms of her early starts in music, she notes that she began as a discerning listener. “Just listening to music from my mom, on the radio, just being a consumer in the world of sound. But I think mainly, my mom has always loved dancing and listening to music, so that was sort of like second nature. We play music at gatherings, we play music in the car, and these songs are sort of like diaries that take us into a specific place.”
