Hailing from the Joshua Tree desert in California, the multi-faceted artist, SANJAY, breaks new ground in 2024 with the release of his highly anticipated debut studio album. Through 2023 he slowly introduced the world to his ‘Ancestral Visions’ LP in bite-size pieces, helped by several standout remixes of the album singles from such high-profile artists as Steve Lawler, DAVI, Zoo Brazil and Myon. Following a trip to the Peruvian Amazon, SANJAY now unveils this long-awaited passion project on January 31st. Download/stream it via https://ffm.to/sanjayvisions.
“A lot of the thought behind the album came from tuning into the ancestral energy in the jungle. It made me think about my ancestors and what I aim to do with my life by breaking patterns in my ancestral lineage. I wanted to make a full-length record that told the story of everything I went through on the journey towards writing it, including heartbreak, self-esteem, moments of victory and rediscovering myself throughout the process. These songs tell the story of those experiences. The whole album, front to back, is a journey of its own.” - SANJAY.
To mark the release of his latest body of work, we're delighted to welcome SANJAY with his Hot Picks selections:
Day By Day - Weval
Experimental, groovy, and galactic. It takes me into a dream world full of color.
Zoo Brazil - The Feeling
Nostalgic of 90's era house. Funky bassline and melodic in the best way.
Maceo Plex & AVNU - Clickbait (This Ain't Hollywood)
Classic Maceo Plex groove. Driving drums the whole time. Dark disco in the best way. The horn section breakdown pulls it all together.
AMÉMÉ - Power (feat. Mario Reyes)
Tribal, powerful, and the vocal sample has a rawness. It's hypnotic and gives you can't stand still listening to it.
Wakyin - Beso (Fruta Fresca) [feat. Carlos Vives]
The Latin flavor is one of my favorite moods. The joy is undeniable and always gets people dancing.
Recorded at the Bright Eyes owned ARC Studios in Omaha Nebraska, SANJAY’s ‘Ancestral Visions’ is available to download/stream via Purple Condor Records from January 31st, 2024: https://ffm.to/sanjayvisions.
