Open your eyes to the fragility of reality. Our own delusions protect us from the concept of what is considered the real world. Nothing is real in this real life.
Lorant teams up with Afro-futuristic duo The Illustrious Blacks on Delusions of Grandeur — a house music and synth-soul crossover.
Brutally honest, unafraid to be vulnerable, and indisputably powerful, Will Sheridan’s Winter 2016 release G2 was a testament to his journey during this momentous point in his life. Now as that journey rises to new heights, Royal Advisor Records once again takes the Will Sheridan experience to the dance floor. Remixed by some of the hottest talent New York and LA have to offer, G2R is a room slammer that gives each track a unique treatment.

Baby making music for elephants from young French producer Larry Rocca. Reminiscent of the early days of Stereo Productions, Larry’s grasp on percussion, massive sweeps, and indigenous samples come together to make one big dancefloor shaker with Dark Roots.

Lorant ft. Black Cracker — Icekeleton
Lorant calls on prodigy Black Cracker to verbalize the darkness on Icekeleton- where Lorant’s Illogical Techno meets Black Cracker’s smokey prose. Reminiscent of when Massive Attack met vs. Mad Professor, Icekeleton is accompanied by a twisted tech-house remix that breaks, claws, and, like the title, chills. Having recently released an album (Tears of a Clown on Hinterhaus Records) and a book, Black Cracker is a constant collaborator of Swedish band Grand Pianoramax. His first RAR collaboration shadows the summer sun as he hums to an absithe-laced vision of a lover: “You hold me like midnight that don’t let go”.

Will Sheridan — G.I.A.N.T.
Going In And Never Timid – G.I.A.N.T. – is Will Sheridan’s statement to the world. Following his single and viral YouTube video Welcome to the Jungle, Will returns with his first full-length album. G.I.A.N.T. is a boiling pot of Will’s new-wave-hip-hop sound, dark lyricism, and pop sensibility. Eighteen tracks come together to make a G.I.A.N.T. album and present a ride through an artist’s feelings- love, loss, hope, and ambition are all equal parts Will Sheridan.
G.I.A.N.T. is chiefly a collaboration between Sheridan and beatsmaker Carvo who produced eight songs on the album including the title track and the single Here Comes the Son. Powerful contributions by the New Jersey duo Boogie Island (Blind, Bully Bulliers, Liquid) and Precize (Set Fire to the Streets, Journey, What More Could You Want) strengthen G.I.A.N.T. while Brooklyn’s Great Tiger brings the electro-rock party on Rock Wit’ Me. Morsy helps Will respond to the Haters and RAR’s DJ Lorant injects the Illogical Techno into Fu<king Wit’ the Giant. G.I.A.N.T. wants you to dance, wants you to fight, wants you to love. Better listen!

Produced by Lorant Duzgun, In My House has the bassline to vibrate any dancefloor into a sexy trance. Downtown house artist Tigga Calore makes an appearance with a rhyme that is going to resonate with club kids for years to come: Black leather Nikes, whips and chains, neon lights, pure octane!
Will Sheridan — NGOMA
Will Sheridan’s debut is a tribal gathering with a twist as Will takes on house music from a rapper’s perspective. Fundamental (produced by Lorant Duzgun) sets the stage for the percussive soundscape with electro arpeggiations and a heavy bassline. You Know I Got It (produced by Sheridan himself) is an edgy display of the artist’s hip hop roots while Welcome to the Jungle (produced by DJ Morsy) makes way for more drums and defines the EP’s title Ngoma- meaning music in Swahili. An extended dub of Welcome.. closes this 4-track treat.
SAMN! — The Remixes

Lorant — The History of Love
Since Lorant released his first single Hot Flash on Twisted Records some 5 years ago, he has playfully experimented with progressive sounds and futuristic tribal beats on remix projects for such labels as Junior Vasquez Music, SoundGroove, and SlantedBlack, coming around full circle while maturing to the productions on this 6-track EP: Hunter with its monstrous bassline and twisted synths, Dracula 2010 with its clever percussion, and the emotional techno groove The History of Love. This composition of works also sees some very inspiration-charged collaborations. On Sound X., Lorant collaborates with famed Nuyorican poet Emanuel Xavier to an early rave era beat, young French pop act O-Red joins him on Movie while SAMN! sets the soulful mood on Jet Black.
Sappho’s Journey — Venerate
The music of Sappho’s Journey has been compared to Massive Attack and Portishead. One major difference is Monique-Renee’s voice— sultry, big, and angelic. Her words are honest and represent our thoughts when we are most vulnerable. The melodies and beats on her debut EP put the listener in a trance with the promise of something new- a sound that has never been heard before.
SAMN! — SYNTHETIC HEARTS
The Synthetic Hearts EP is SAMN’s tribute to the early 90’s— Electro beats accompanied by R&B basslines, Snap-like intros, and dramatic breakdowns, tied together by SAMN’s New-Jack-Swing voice.
Minimal master Geoff Gains (Twisted Records) lends his talents to this release with his remix of Gravity alongside a reworking of Synthetic Hearts by Brooklyn’s own P.L.A.W.Z.
LORANT — HUNTER
Hunter is Lorant’s tech-house ride with its monstrous bassline and twisted synths. From the first beat to the last, it is full of emotion and groove.
