The composers of digital music known as
Cookie Cartel have released their official debut single, “Free
Dive.” The single has been bundled with three remixes of the
definitive edition, including an extended play version, an extended
dance version, and a version edited for play on public radio stations
around the world. The single features vocals by acclaimed singer Stef
Lang, whose popular LP record, “The Underdog” appeared in May of
2010. An irrefutably infectious digital pop song with elements of
chillout, dubstep and house music, “Free Dive” by Cookie Cartel
is a single which highlights the many qualities of this undeniable
duo based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Cookie Cartel cite as main artistic
influences such heroes of the digital scene as Zedd, BT, ATB, and
Disclosure. As might be expected, their own sound mirrors many of the
best qualities of the artists on this list, yet their overall style
has its basis in their own music histories.
Cookie Cartel is the stage name of Mary
Ancheta and Dan Kearley, who write and produce songs under the name
Cookie Cartel which feature various guest vocalists on their tracks.
They have been collaborating since 2013, when they began sending
sound files to and from one another between Vancouver and the
Maldives at that time. They have said that their new single, “Free
Dive,” was first inspired by a trip to the Maldive Islands.
Keyboardist and lyricist Mary Ancheta
was first part of the popular and jazzy electronica group,
Transientworld, who placed as finalists for two consecutive years in
the John Lennon Songwriting Competition for electronic music. Ancheta
has licensed over 50 film and television placements for her music.
Multi-instrumentalist Dan Kearly is
best known for his role in Sekoya, the sound of which the Victoria
Jazz Society describes as an “iconoclastic blend of jazz, house,
soul, spoken word, hip-hop, and bebop with a fresh touch of funk!”
The Society goes on to note that “Sekoya’s debut album garnered
rave reviews from Miami to London, resulting in a Canadian Juno
nomination for Best Contemporary Jazz Artist.” Kearley has composed
beats for heavy metal bands Strapping Young Lad and Lamb of God, and
has completed remixes for BT.
The remixes of “Free Dive” have
been orchestrated by DJ Hoàng Anh (Vietnam Producer), DJ Hunt
(Producer, DJ on Queen Latifah Show), and Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas
(Producer, Mute Math Bassist).
“Free Dive” by Cookie Cartel is
available online worldwide beginning August 23, 2014.
