Gaia Weiss is an actress -- not a singer by trade -- and summons Charlotte Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot to deliver the spoken words as a fractured monologue, guiding listeners through splintered visions, and detuned chord progressions, in pursuit of the seemingly unattainable. With this six-chapter journey on the newborn Street Cinema label, Tenashee (DJ Tennis and Ashee, Manfredi Romano and Joseph Ashworth) have crafted and refined - like two artisans from another era -- a unique creation: a creature that reconnects electronic music with complexity and richness, fully aware of hyper-contemporaneity, yet capable of resisting surrender to it. Blink To Check It's Real, featuring artist Campbell King, immediately immerses the listener in an electronic reality check, with '90s-inspired tweaking and glitching, all woven together with a poem from Campbell that contrasts the dizzying intensity of lust and connection with the comfort of being able to "loosen their grip" and "make it safe." In "I Can See Now," Aurelia Ray (stage name of pop-music-writing powerhouse Caitlin Stubbs) evokes a sense of serenity, pure love, and trust within a refined, spacious piece of minimalist electronica. Over the course of five years, through exchanges, writing sessions, and fine-tuning in Paris, London, Saint Martin, and Ibiza, the world evolved, but Tenashee's musical mission remained unchanged. The mini-album reflects the musical backgrounds of its two creators, their unique sensitivity to the present, and their desire to challenge each other with sharp, emotional, yet weightless styles and sounds. It is no longer just DJ Tennis; the successful DJ touring worldwide, organizing events, and founding influential labels like Life & Death; nor only Joseph Ashworth with his scientific approach and creativity as a producer and writer in the competitive world of pop; nor Ashee, with his releases on Circoloco and Aus Music. No, Tenashee is something more. It is a duet searching for a thread that connects electronic music -- past, present, and future -- through experimentation, craft, and artistry.
