Dutch label mainstay Corren Cavini returns to Purified Records with ‘Lion’s Head’ — a single that started with a place. After his appearance at Purified South Africa last year, and his first trip to the Mother Continent, the landscapes and energy of the country remained with him. Built on classical foundations and stripped back to what matters, the track unfolds gradually – his way of capturing what he saw and felt there, in sonic form.
Speaking about the release, Corren Cavini mentioned,
“In March last year, I visited and played in South Africa for the first time. It was one of my first international tours, and my first time on the Mother Continent. It was a beyond special experience! I stayed in Cape Town for a few days and Nora En Pure wanted to show me why it was “the most beautiful place in the world”, as she said. The sun set as we climbed up Lion’s Head, and I was absolutely blown away. The 360 view of the capes, Table Mountain, and the sun setting over the ocean. Seeing whales come up for air in the far distance. Every aspect of that moment has stayed with me.
Very shortly after, I started trying to capture that feeling, that memory, into sound. It took a very long time to find what it needed to sound like. Now, more than a year and many versions of ‘Lion’s Head’ later, I am so happy I finally did.”
Following his previous release ‘Hopes & Fears’ on Purified Records, Corren continues to impress with his evolving artistry and emotional depth. Taking his sound to audiences around the world, he has recently performed across North America, including his debut at Miami Music Week, and is set to return this summer for Purified New York in Central Park. After delivering a captivating set at Purified London last year, Corren will also return for this year’s edition at The Cause. With each performance and release, he continues to push creative boundaries, reaching new heights and cementing his place as one of the most exciting rising talents in melodic electronic music.
