IvanUnknown releases his debut full length project with production from the likes of MURR, Katalyst, and an  appearance from Saukrates.

TORONTO –  Inspired by the experimental production styles of artists like Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke and Knxwledge, Ivanunknown collected a handful of Canadian electronic music producers to create the backdrop on his debut full length album, Fickle, out February 11th on DNH Records. Middlefield, Matthew Maaskant, Murr and his brother Phen Ray explore dark dub, minimal techno, throwback R&B and soul rhythms beneath Ivanunknown’s silky vocals.

“The songs aren’t about sex and money,” says Ivanunknown, ”this album is an expression of love: love for music, love for women, love for self.”

The album features Canadian rapper Saukrates on the murky, reggae-inspired single “Make It By,” while “So Close So Far” has attracted fans like Osunlade for its slow building, futuristic sound. R2 Records label head Kyri describes the song: “Evolved soul is the simplest way to put it. Ivanunknown has all the heritage of what went before, with a fresh twist.”

Ivanunknown’s “Solitude” is a love song complete with old school flow and gritty hip-hop rhythms, and “Perfect Alibi,” is a tense, emotional ride, with DJ Catalist’s remix rounding out the album with pop and R&B flavours.

Ivanunknown recently released house singles with Nick Holder (listen to “Ivan’s Burden”) and Kansas-based producer Leonard Dstroy (listen to “Ivan’s Burden Pt. 1”).

First introduction to Ottawa’s MauriceXIII via his “Paramount” EP which features production and appearances from Arthur McArthur and Andreena.

The kid’s already got the polish on his sound and taking meetings with majors and stuff, so it’ll def be interesting to see where he takes it!

Another solid free release from the homie SonReal. Debut commercial release coming this year too. Dude’s output maybe rivals D-Sisive, lol. Hard to keep up Sonny!!! Knowing him, there’ll probably be like 10 videos off this project too.

#OneLongDay is SonReal’s first solo release since the Juno Nominated album, The Closers. After the success of his single “Everywhere We Go”, SonReal announced that he would be giving his next project out for free as well as dropping his debut commercial album later in 2014.

Till then, we have this: One Long Day, an incredibly concise piece of work. With production from; Arthur Mcarthur, Rich Kidd, Chin Injeti, Chef Byer, Alex Lustig, Superville, 2oolman, and Burd & Keyz.

SonReal effortlesly shares his story over A grade beats. A few special features from Kardinall Offishall, Shad, Andreena Mill and Willa help set this project aside from your average free mixtape.. It should actually be called an album, because its fucking great.
