DAXX, featured artist at Friday Night Sessions on the 20th of September 2019

Read more about the Artist:
DAXX, singer, songwriter and guitarist.
Soft yet powerful, dark yet cheeky – DAXX's music lives from carefully chosen contrasts.
The German singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist takes you on a journey into her life, through the nightlife filled with parties and self-doubt, through states of empowerment and helplessness, constantly close to the point where you're getting too close to be comfortable. But the simple, almost self-ironic way of presenting her songs gives even the darkest topic the little twist it needs to stay I your head and keep you excited.

About the song:
The single GOLDEN GATE was written when DAXX was 16. Though the song does not specifically refer to the refugee situation in 2015, the singer was highly influenced by the political atmosphere back then. When she moved out for college to study Political Science, she discovered her old notebook with the songs she wrote as a teenager, including GOLDEN GATE, and started to play an acoustic version in her first sets as a singer songwriter. Now, years later, after moving to London and giving her music career a fresh start, she teamed up with producer Jake Raywood to give the song a new shape and sound, mixing her soft vocals with the urging sound of synth arpeggios and beats to give the listener a feeling of the unsteady and rushed search for something that one will possibly never find. GOLDEN GATE is still a political song in a wider context, at the same time it addresses this feeling inside each of us - searching for a place and home to escape and belong to.

King With No Throne, featured artist at Friday Night Sessions on the 20th of September 2019
Read more about the Artist:
Reto and Kasem began making music in Sydney in October 2000. We were called Flying Mouse then and quickly found the sound that we still possess today. We played with a few folks along the way, but when we left Sydney for London King With No Throne was born with a sound that has elements of drum and bass, and Electro-Trance reminiscent of Massive Attack, Portishead and Radiohead.
King With No Throne originated in the lyrics of the song King With No Throne. Irena, a London filmmaker felt this would be a great name for us. We decided to make it our name as the image of a wondering mystical king who imagines and makes worlds from the fountain of his mind. This parallels closely with the way we feel about the creative journey of being music makers and creating sounds that resonate with something wondrous, mysterious and beautiful about life.

Inspiration - Influences: Pink Floyd, Massive Attack, Portishead, TheXX , Jeff Buckley, Alt-J, Radiohead, Beatles, Madonna, Prodigy, David Bowie, Cold Play, The Killers, The Editors, Anohni, as well as the Nature and the Universe.

Barry Locke, featured artist at Friday Night Sessions on the 20th of September 2019

More about the song:
One Will Make The Jump is a song about going boldly in the direction of your 'dreams'. I wrote this song when I was 24. I had graduated from university and was working all the hours I could just to get some cash together in a secure job that had a lot of responsibility, but something was missing, I was missing from my own life I guess. I was on auto pilot, giving everything to nothing. Then I was 25 and at the time I felt like that particular age had to mean something and so I decided to have a 'Yes Year' wherein I would say yes to myself, my wants, my whims, my wishes, my dreams...before I knew it I was 26 and had quit my job in order to become a self employed musician...

6 years later, my 4th official release to date will be the 1st song I wrote for my autobiographical album ' O N E ' which may surface eventually but if you want to know how it all began...start with this track.

the movie "Annihilation" directed by Alex Garland which he describes as being one of his favorite movies ever.

Last Known State, featured artist at Friday Night Sessions on the 6th of December 2019

More about the song/lyrics:
Take me away, converse on another day
Understand that I can't stand the words you say
It's a dream, and dreams aren't reality
(Reality is for people to blind to see)
But for me it's a test, test of character
Don't be afraid of the stage, the platform you're after
Cos’ I'll run the risk, drive the last mile
So why can't I make you smile

Tell me what's on your mind, cos your eyes glance past me
I can't tell what you see, so just say it all
Cos’ you're a different kind of person against me
Saying what I should be
But your words can't affect my mind, one day you'll see

*I won't let my shadow lead my life
I won't settle down
Come to me, I'll explain how -
I've chosen all the words I've spoken
Truth and lies
Always and forever means, I will never learn to say die*

Take me away, cos’ I can't find the words to say
Explanations of my thoughts seem to just decay
It isn't me, it's not my reality
(Unlock my words since I can't seem to find the key)
Empty thoughts seem to come from a made up time
Emotional barriers, curse the day I found mine
Brick wall for a face, is that what you see
Should I walk and leave

Tell me what's on your mind, since you just smile and wave
Is that how you behave, why not say it all
Cos’ you seem to be fine with talking once I leave
Judging what I should be
But your words can't affect my mind one day you'll see

** chorus

Go and say your piece, I've clearly been waiting to hear your speech
You think I care, assume I'm weak, like I've got nothing new planned this week
Take my advice, just walk and leave, let me wipe the dust from my own sleeve
Just take your steps away from me, let me abide to my own guide and fantasy

Tell me why I should believe you (X6) – (1) chorus
