Melodic techno maestro Citizen Kain launches his new label Eversun Records – promising ‘emotion, energy and light’ – with intense cinematic single ‘Moments’ feat. Kaps, out December 5th
The French producer’s take on melodic techno carries influences including hardcore, DnB, House, 80s synth bands… all united by high energy, soulful emotion, and diamond-sharp production. Kain is now used to basking in solar heat after years of being the DJ’s DJ, his ‘very fat, high energy’ tracks heating up sets by Tale of Us, Maceo Plex, ARTBAT, Solomun et al, releasing on labels like Ellum Audio, Afterlife, UPPERGROUND, Massano’s Simulate, ATLANT, Siamese…
‘After years of working with major labels as a producer, I now feel the need for a space where I can stay true to myself, to my sound, and to the freedom that first made me fall in love with this culture. ‘Eversun’ is that space — a place without boundaries, built to let the music evolve naturally.’
‘Moments’ feat. Kaps: Fusing melodic techno precision with the warmth of progressive house produces the urgency of a manifesto for unity, with siren- and trumpet-like calls and Kaps’ assertive, edgy, soulful vocal, supported by heart-stirring melodic synth chord progressions. Guaranteed to bring dancefloor clubbers together as one, and live long in their minds thereafter.
‘What “Eversun” represents for me goes back to a moment in Koh Phangan in Thailand’ Kain says. I was on a hidden beach at sunrise, surrounded by a crowd of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. Everyone was dancing with the same energy, the same joy. As the sun rose, it touched all of us equally. It warmed our bodies, illuminated our path, and amplified the feeling that music was connecting us. That day eventually ended, but its brightness stayed with me. This is why I created Eversun — as a tribute to those timeless moments and to the early spirit of electronic music: peace, love, unity, respect.’
‘Moments’ gives a thrilling taste of what’s to come on the new imprint. It’s clear that Eversun presages a white-hot future for Citizen Kain. ‘See you on the dancefloor…’
