Check out These Recent Releases from Digital Bliss Artists!

A Few Artists From Digital Bliss Vol 2 have recently put out some fantastic albums. Check them out!

AURADRONE - Whitelite Britelite

Auradrone is a creative force of passion and innovation, fast-forwarding us into a new sonic epoch. Masterminded by the multi-talented Jon Mack, Auradrone mixes sensuality and deep spirit into ultramodern post-rock electronic music, creating a multimedia experience with maximized appeal: to heal and transform, to bring you back to yourself, and then take you elsewhere


RENA JONES - Indra's Web

In Buddhism and Hinduism, Indra’s Web is a profound metaphor for the structure of reality, representing the interconnectedness and interdependency of all things, describing a rich and diverse universe where infinitely repeated mutual relations exist between all its elements and entities. Through her composition, Rena creates a musical metaphor of this philosophy exploring a concept of repeated modalities similar to that of Stevie Wonder's "the Secret life of Plants", while skillfully taking full advantage of the capabilities of modern digital sequencing software to create complex and playful glitched out grooves and transcending some of its limitations by using the warmth and depth of analogue sound.


WEATHER PENDING - And How!

On their first album, And How!, the San Francisco trio known as Weather Pending creates deep, sultry, continuously unfolding music with a sound that’s vaguely familiar and surprisingly unique, a fever dream of exquisite beauty. The band’s sinuous electronic grooves and the smoky vocals of singer Janie Oliver draw you in, enticing you with their understated charm. Bass player and producer Rob Cross accompanies Oliver’s luminous vocals with the dark, melancholy rhythms of hip hop and dub reggae, profound tones that swirl and dance with the elemental force of a restless ocean while guitarist Brian Bloi’s chords color with shimmering overtones that emote with aching melodies.
