"Label head Elle Stilnovo teams up with Canadian talents Rise Ashen and Jaidene Veda who lent their voice to bring you a slice of warm, bass heavy, not-your-average Deep House. The package includes the radio friendly Original mix, as well as an alternate version from Rise Ashen himself and a chilled dub from South Africa’s rising talent Luka."
Loving this tune, and I think that you will enjoy the video! The 4:20 Remix by Rise Ashen is now in rotation in Funk Sanctum Radio as well!

Northern Faction 5 takes a dubwise dive across both Canadian and global culture. Full on reggae and dubstep breathe deeply alongside nu jazz and fractured beats while telling a story of hope in a corrupted world. Rich and complex, this compilation may require several listens to fully digest. Fresh Canadian beats are featured from Juno Award winners Dubmatix and Kellylee Evans as well as recent nominee Rise Ashen. Northern Faction 5 brings together the best from Canada's conscious dancefloor producers, including Citizen Sound feat Ammoye, Lotek & Demus J, Hitori Tori, Earlyworm, Rcola, Katalyst 5 in collaboration with Rise Ashen as well as tracks from Redworm, Nate Wize and Version Xcursion. Northern Faction 5 also features contributions from the UK's Richie Phoe, Amsterdam's Process Rebel, South Africa's 7FT Soundsystem, New York's J57 and Subatomic Sound System and San Diego's Tranzformer. Balanced's central agency is represented by Billy Rockwell, The Seed Organization and Kasm.
“Rise Ashen & Flying Down Thunder met on Ottawa's frozen Rideau Canal in 2009 & have been pollinating One Nation ever since. It was important for the pair to create music which was truly an amalgam, true to both the underground club sound and the traditional vocal style of the Anishinabe. Through their compositions, they are propelling traditional sounds into a fresh and new realm, while respecting the roots of Anishinabe music.
