There is something about a romantic endeavor that can move even the most hard-hearted person. The premiere release “We Could Be feat. Jayce” off of D.V.S’s upcoming Comfort Zone LP on Emancipator’s label Loci Records is just that, full of soul and secret longings. Jayce’s lovelorn stylings make this track along with the silky smooth synths and chilled out beat with an appropriate amount of distortion to keep things alternative. But Derek VanScoten has a well-known commitment to down tempo electronic music and using live instrumentation to create it.
Set to release on December 9th, his new album came at a special time, as he just became a father. Of the inspirations behind it VanScoten said, “I recently had a daughter, and since then I've taken a real close look at what does and does not work for me creatively. There’s only so much time when you become a parent, but that's a blessing because every move is so much more intentional. It can be a very positive thing, because you’re only keeping what works.” And his new LP will be available for download on Loci Record’s Bandcamp, and select digital retailers come its due date.
