Brock Geiger’s Groove-Heavy “Some Nights”, Bingeninja’s Emotional “Footprints In The Sand”, Odario’s Hip-Hop Meets Dub Masterpiece “The Situation” & Justine Tyrell’s Soulful “Proud”

Brock Geiger Drops Mesmerizing Debut Album & Music Video for Title Track “Some Nights” — A Sleazy, Groove-Heavy Anthem

Brock Geiger has officially arrived with his captivating debut album “Some Nights” — a bold fusion of indie-pop swagger, art-rock grit, and experimental electronic textures. Co-produced with Grammy-winner Will Maclellan (Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, The Killers), the album reflects Geiger’s decade-long journey as a sought-after collaborator, contributing to nearly 50 records and touring internationally. The title track, “Some Nights”, is a hypnotic, dance-floor-ready anthem blending vintage drum machines, wobbly Hofner bass lines, and seductive, off-kilter sequencing. Inspired by the unpredictable nature of a turbulent relationship, the track oozes late-night club energy, with sleazy undertones reminiscent of Boogie Nights. Recorded at the legendary Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, the album features contributions from Matt Chamberlain (Mac Miller, David Bowie), Sam Gendel, Gabe Noel, and longtime friends Clea Anaïs and Kaelen Ohm. Drawing inspiration from artists like St. Vincent and LCD Soundsystem, Geiger’s meticulous production style shines through in the album’s cinematic and emotionally charged soundscapes. With “Some Nights” now available on all major streaming platforms, Brock Geiger is set to bring his immersive sound to life on stage with a band of Western Canada’s top musicians.

Odario, Mad Professor & Yolanda Sargeant Unite for Hip-Hop Meets Dub Masterpiece “The Situation”

Odario’s latest single “The Situation” is a hypnotic fusion of hip-hop, dub, and soul, bringing together UK dub legend Mad Professor and Canadian soul queen Yolanda Sargeant for a deep, groove-heavy masterpiece. Recorded at Mad Professor’s iconic Ariwa Studios in South London, the track blends Odario’s signature slow-flow lyricism with Mad Professor’s echo-laden dub textures and Yolanda’s smooth, ethereal vocals. Odario describes it as “a rare groove that sounds like a manual no longer in use—three coats of dust mixed with the lush sound of the city at night.” The collaboration stems from Odario and Mad Professor’s shared Guyanese heritage and creative bond, which began with Grand Analog’s “Love Is A Battlefield” in 2016. Backed by a powerhouse lineup of musicians — Warren Bray (bass, guitar), Alister Johnson (drums, keys), and Aubrey McGhee (saxophone) — the track pulses with analog warmth and rhythmic complexity. A B-side dub version mixed by Mad Professor strips the track to its raw core, highlighting the deep bass and haunting reverb. With an upcoming full-length project Toaster Boys set for release in late 2025, “The Situation” is a powerful reminder of the deep connection between hip-hop and dub — a natural sound rooted in history and innovation. Catch Odario live on April 4 at The Drake Underground in Toronto and April 5 at L’Esco in Montreal.

Bingeninja’s “Footprints In The Sand” – A Haunting Exploration of Love, Loss, and Closure

Bingeninja’s latest release, “Footprints In The Sand”, comes to life through a visually striking and emotionally raw art film directed by Giselle Tulipano. Written, directed, shot, and edited by Tulipano, the film follows a character’s introspective journey through dreams, memories, and the present day, with shifting seasons symbolizing the passage of time and the search for closure. Inspired by a true-life event, the story reflects the bittersweet nature of first love — the joy, the heartbreak, and the lasting impact it leaves behind. The haunting lyrics, with lines like “You’re not sure of anything apart from your other love”, capture the emotional complexity of love and loss. Tulipano’s artistic direction merges cinematic storytelling with Bingeninja’s poetic lyricism, creating a powerful narrative that touches on mental health and the importance of honouring those we’ve lost while finding the strength to keep moving forward. “Footprints In The Sand” is part of Bingeninja’s album “Teratoma”, available on Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms. This emotionally charged release invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys and find peace in life’s unresolved moments.
