A heat seeking act that needs to be on your radar is DIY HIFI. The brain child of Ian Bevis (of Bear Mountain), DIY HIFI is a record label and musical collective based out of Vancouver, Canada who are conjuring up special musical pieces and musical collaborations with a bevy of musical artists. No better example is their fresh new single “Sunset“.
The collective are acclaimed for their broad musical palette and genre-blending production style, often referencing dance music sub-genres and indie hooks. Much like this new cut, “Sunset” is a beautiful medley of different live instrumentation, leaning undeniably on the bhangra influence. Donné’s unmistakable vocals resonate in the hook and elevate the track to further heights.
Ian Bevis shared his sentiments, saying: “I wrote Sunset with my friend Donné. I always love the way her voice sounds. It has a certain magic about it. This was an important song for me. It emerged after the break up of my old band, and before my new one. I was in a space of calling on the muse to show me which way to go”
“The song is about calling in the new while letting go of the old. It’s about not necessarily knowing which way to go, but if you listen to your heart, you’ll be guided.”
