Artist: Menson
Title: 'Testify'
Label: Studiestrasse
'Testify' is out now on Studiestrasse, released on 14 August as an Original and an Extended mix. Menson has been steadily putting music up on his own Bandcamp page before this one, among it 'TS', 'True' and 'Don't U Know'.
The idea behind the track came out of his own listening habits. "I've noticed I'm always drawn to music built around repetition, gospel, chanting, anything where a voice repeats the same thought until it becomes something bigger than the words themselves," Menson says. "At some point, you're not listening to the lyric anymore. You're just feeling it."
Kind of like meditation, then, in that case. Fitting, when we consider music as a series of vibrations.
Studiestrasse is a Copenhagen label running since early 2010, founded by Mads Jensen, who is Menson, and who also (somewhat confusingly, in this context) produces under the name Jazz Menson. It operates as a small collective, with Hankat and Jonas Hahn also on the roster.
