Great Dane - "A Million Cents" / "Without You (Spooky Black Bootleg)" [MUSIC]

According to the reposts on my SoundCloud, I was introduced to the musical offerings of Great Dane over a year ago. But, for all intents and purposes, I'm considering my reintroduction to his music this week to be the official crossing of paths for my ears and his sounds.

And what a glorious encounter it has been thus far. As my friend who put me on to Great Dane so eloquently put it: "he makes really lovely, soft melodies that you can just float to and then he'll create something that's pure filth". Not much is left to be said, as she hit the nail on the head - Great Dane has a collection of music out there for your listening pleasure that covers a wide range of vibes. Again, in her words, "he definitely doesn't box himself in." As someone who tends to enjoy more ambient electronic music, with a touch of "filth" thrown in, Great Dane is/was precisely what I've been searching for.

The Fullerton-based artist has a decent catalogue of tunes available on SoundCloud, including a circa-2015 *fire emoji* mix that really encapsulates the vastness of his music. I've spent the better part of the last couple days exploring Great Dane's music and, although I've enjoyed it all, I'm using this opportunity to share two joints that stood out as my personal favorites:
 

Enjoy the tracks above and be sure to check out Great Dane's SoundCloud to experience more of his music.

In some cultures, the elders are held to the highest esteem - for they are the ones with the knowledge and experience to hold true wisdom. While many in our society praise youth and the physical beauty associated with being young, it is only through the experience of living life that one learns about the world, and in turn, has the capability to learn about their own being. And still, we tend to look down upon those who have been blessed to experience a long, full life. Perhaps it's because so many "old" people seem to live a life of regret, looking back on their youth with a mind full of "what ifs" and "should haves". While young individuals are rushing to reach maturity,

As the weather continues to get colder and cuffing season takes full effect, Xavier White and Paul Couture come together with a little musical offering that's sure to warm up listeners with it's warm, comforting sonic vibes.

The styles of both artists are coupled together beautifully as the song takes listeners on a teasingly seductive journey between playful lusters-turned-lovers. Directed by Alex Kouvatsos, the "Distance" music video is a captivating viewing experiencing, finding a way to be flashy while remaining simple at it's core. Backed by stimulating, striking lights, White serenades the subject matter of his lyrical content as she provocatively looks on, hearing his words yet paying him little to no direct attention.
