Jasmine Trails - Cycles Of Love (Home Demos) Canadian New
Jasmine Trails is Allie O’Manique, a master of languid melancholia. She grew up outside of Ottawa, on the Rideau River, and her music feels like a search back to those more peaceful, nature-bound times.

Jasmine Trails’ songs are profoundly intimate, often written and recorded not just from bedrooms but from beds. Her dusky alto simultaneously holds the darkness of a survivor and the promise of brighter days to come.

Mindflip - s/t Canadian New
From Gatineau, Québec, Canada Born with Tourette’s Syndrome and ADHD, Mindflip was told that keeping up with others would always be difficult. At 19 a critical realization shifted his fear of being limited by his conditions into using them as strengths. He decided he would no longer dwell on the negative and convert his weaknesses into powerful tools “The only limitations we have are the ones we set ourselves.”⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣While traveling the western regions of Canada on a summer hiatus with friends, Mindflip took this mentality further and discovered the force of meditation. He was introduced to the capabilities of channelling higher frequencies which manifested themselves through melodies. In this moment Mindflip was sparked with a deeper love for music and has since then dedicated himself to the craft. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Through his songs, millions of listeners are immersed in heartfelt vibrations and powerful sonics. These Energetic frequencies translate into gratitude, compassion, chasing dreams and in some cases “EVERYTHING IS ENERGY, it’s just about having a good time on earth.”
