Gemini - Time To Share

Producer Thomas Slinger, aka Gemini, believes it is "Time To Share" his first single from his forthcoming album, Wanderlust. The aptly named track not only peaks our attention but succeeds in setting the global hype machine in motion. "Time To Share" is a powerful production that closes the gap between electronic music and top 40, pop music. Be prepared to hear this on your local radio station. Immediately the shimmering strings set the mood of the track, offering an Avicii/Mumford & Sons vibe. This atmosphere is upheld and propelled with the addition of the vocals, commanding our undivided attention. Lyrically strong, the themes of coming together flow, so effortlessly, injecting its voice into our subconscious. This infusion is successful, in large part, as a result of the ever-flowing, mixing of the low end, wandering and encouraging cooperation and participation. Cheerful and uplifting, Gemini has carefully carved out a track that subtly "sings in the wind," combining tremendously radiant, lyrical and vocal content with master crafted, inescapable production value. While it may seem to wander aimlessly, it is true that "not all who wander are lost."

What So Not - Gemini EP

Perhaps the most anticipated EP of the year finally dropped, and you can pick it up for free! The five track EP, Gemini, is Flume's last hurrah with Emoh Instead as What So Not, and punctuates a truly great run of productions from the duo. They had been arguably the best and most consistent duo on the planet, until it was announced that Flume would be leaving. Oddly enough, it was around the same time Skrillex and Diplo took the world by storm with Jack U, but I digress. It's only fitting in my mind that the aussie duo that seemingly appeared all at once, and grabbed the scene by the scruff of it's neck, wrap things up with with an EP of Gemini's caliber. The free EP is a combination of tracks that their fans have been craving for more than a dozen months. Earlier this year the released the title track "Gemini" with George Maple, after having previewed it as an 'ID' as early as last summer. But it isn't the only one that's been in floating around our consciousness since last summer. You may very well remember their collab with Dillon Francis, "Dill's Mom" having been teased for an unyielding amount of time. It's also on the EP but retitled and slightly retooled as "Arrows" with Dawn Golden. 

The EP is rounded out with two more collaborations with KLP on "Death Drive" and Tunji on "Intro," as well as one final Flume & Emoh original "Oddity" which holds up to the high What So Not standard easily fitting in with "Jaguar," "Touched," and "The Quack." It's you're last chance to enjoy the collaborative efforts of Flume & Emoh, and although I expect to hear great music from them individually, I doubt we'll ever get anything that can rival their genius productions: their Major Lazer "Get Free," Parachute Youth "Awake Now," Van She "Idea of Happiness" or my favourite track of their's "Love Theme." Listen to the EP below and pick it up free for yourself.
