I've been a very busy little bee recently. I can't say what I've been working on just yet, but believe me, it's exciting.
When you're deep in the headspace forest, you tend to come across a lot of strange and interesting psychological creatures, and not all of them are friendly. If you've ever completely thrown yourself into a creative project, you'll know what I mean: you can convince yourself that what you're working on is the greatest thing since Beethoven or Michelangelo, and then five minutes later want to throw the whole thing out the window because for some inexplicable reason, the whole thing just turned into 100% premium grade, pure blend shite.
So it's good to have some kind of respite along the way, and 'Rise and Shine' for me has been exactly that. It's a powerhouse of a track, thoroughly unpredictable, and most importantly, it just screams FUN. For me it's been an island to swim to when I've felt like I'm drowning (metaphorically that is, I'm alright Andy don't worry), because it's a million miles from what my current project is about so it's been something of an earth-wire to the productivity current that's been fuelling my focus lately. Not really sure if that was my most elegant use of imagery, but that reservoir's running a little dry at the mo so give me a break maaan.
I guess this week's entry is a bit more specific to me than usual, in the sense that it's the track that's been saving my world, but it's not just about me. I recommend this track if you not only wanna save the world, but also have a bit of fun, @get wild, and @celebrate life. It's just infectious, feel good music, and that's something everyone can enjoy!
Keep your ears peeled over the coming weeks for exciting news out of our camp, I promise I'm not overhyping this x

About the curator - Matt Jenko
Matt Jenko is a university postgraduate and music producer with an unhealthy obsession with Rick & Morty and all things Game of Thrones. When he’s not in the studio (a rare occurrence these days), he’s fueling his passion for music either on the net or out in the real world. He likes being out in the nature (in the least strenuous capacity though, let’s be real here) and chilling with his cat, and he’s also pretty proud of his mammoth collection of books that he’s never read.

Sometimes situations call for a total reassessment. Sometimes, ‘having faith’ and ‘staying the course’ become synonymous with getting yourself stuck in a big ol’ rut. Even when your gut is screaming ‘yo bro this ain’t RIGHT my dude’, you just dig your heels in and plough on. You know best, after all…

The thing about works borne of pure creative passion is that they tend to take a lot to complete. This doesn’t just mean they take a lot of time (although time certainly accounts for a lot of the taking), they also take a lot of focused mental energy. This is the real sacrifice we have to make for our art…
