Who Sold My Soul?

dereck d.a.c. X KIANVSLIFE
The second collaborative project with KIANVSLIFE. Me & Kian planned this project for a while after finishing 'Umm.. Random Shit'. We decided to leave Brighton and take a ten day music trip to Lisbon in a cramped Airbnb. We took our laptops, samplers, speakers, mics, and made a DIY studio setup on the top floor of a small apartment in Bairo Alto. This project is a reflection of internal dialogue and real life situations. 'Who Sold My Soul?' Is a question that became apparent throughout the recording process. What made us lose our passions? Whats made us loose who we were as people? Why do we let exterior situations determine how we define ourselves as people?

The project received PRS funding to press vinyl.
We documented the whole creation process in Lisbon filmed by HXRLXY.
We felt it was important to document and show to others that it's doable to do this shit yourself. Not a lot is needed to create. The importance of art is to share and document culture.
