CIRCLES out now on all platforms!!

@adubdob was the magic man behind the production on this track with @consciousgroove on the drums and @jonnytobinmusic with mixing and extra good vibes.

Also, isn’t this artwork the best? Ian on bass. Forever crystallized in the cover for this song.

I hope when folks listen to this song they are able to see their own experiences in the emotion of the sound or even the lyrics. What changes are you circling around? What patterns do you keep repeating ?

❤️

Have a listen and tell me what you feel from this track…

where my shy party girls @ ? @maryzemusic is here with her new music video for Shy Prty Grl - out now !!

I actually first heard this during our 2024 Italians do It Better x Indie Sleaze SXSW showcase, so it’s vry cool to see it in its final form with accompanying music video. Inspired by Maryze’s own experiences as an introvert navigating the stage, ‘SHY PRTY GRL’ - produced by Skyler Cocco - captures the inner conflict of wanting to be seen while fearing being perceived.

#Introvert or not - Maryze is carving out her own space in the #indiesleazerevival that demands to be seen & heard <3

✅🫂Vol 1 was a success 🫂✅
Huge thank you to everyone that was able to come out, support or use the powerful force of the dance floor to spread joy!

We are so happy to have raised $181.50 at vol 1 and $250 at the soft launch for @qpirgmcgill

A little bit about us:
Co-founders @janette.king and @h0t.tramp are both steeped in the music world of MTL through their own music and management endeavours. They are dedicated to building spaces of care, resistance, and collaboration together!

Resident DJ & Host @hualigram is a genre-bending DJ, rapper, and cultural force in Montreal’s underground scene. She embodies the project’s spirit of radical joy in everything she does!

Mission:
JOY IS A WEAPON exists to use joy as a tool of resistance. We are creating intentional spaces where music, the dance floor, and community become fuel towards liberation. Putting money into the hands of local community organizations that need it.

Huge thank you to our supporters @wills.beer @zamalekmontreal and @salaamcola ✨

& We love @btwnus.studio !!!!
