Sort Vibes feat. Joey - Running Round 04:06
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 Running pretty fast - not to be the last behind Hurry off the past - too much time to pass Climbing up the hill - wallets to be filled Not waste some time to chill out yet - looking for that thrill to get VERSE 2 Always on the way - hardly time to stay and rest Always on the move self improve to the best In your beaten track of your quest Some push and pull is in your neck and urge yourself to be obsessed CHORUS Round About the wheel is turning – people yearning loud Wound and Downed Increase your earnings before burning out Round and Round End equals Start – exhausted soul unbound VERSE 3 Got to be so quick – looking for that kick ahead Got to be so strong – never being wrong in doubt Caught in reckless contests all around So following their progress laws makes people stressed in strangest flaws

lyrics

VERSE 1: Yet another day on this stony way No sight ahead and sleepless tumbling Yet another day and you start to sway Polite as usual and restless stumbling Yet another day and your mind turns grey Rocks around, start rumbling crumbling BRIDGE: You ask why do you live and why you always give Is there anything around that heals your wounds Is there a big surprise and some good advise that makes you feel unbound – never loose your ground that makes you feel amazed - the nothing that you chased yet your shadow stays - on too many ways CHORUS: Was told to follow the rules - and to always keep cool Was told to be good – was told what to be - you don't see You are free – use your key You gotta dive into deepest sea You're allowed - get proud anyhow - life is now VERSE 2: Yet another thrill on your To Do's bill Keep hunting for ya deep satisfaction Yet another pill let the boredom kill Keep blunting in this sweet distraction Yet another lap in the same old trap Keep spinning in the same engraved reaction BRIDGE: You ask why do you live and why you always give Is there anything around that heals your wounds Is there a big surprise and some good advise that makes you feel unbound – never loose your ground that makes you feel amazed - the nothing that you chased yet your shadow stays - on too many ways CHORUS: Was told to follow the rules - and to always keep cool Was told to be good – was told what to be - you don't see You are free – use your key You gotta dive into deepest sea You're allowed - get proud - anyhow - life is now

Apart 04:13
lyrics
buy track
VERSE1 A life of fame – or shame A life of grace with a choice to face A life aflame – or pain Atom in mass - allocated class Is there a place – and space ? We're born apart till the end and from start to nowhere So much we share VERSE 2 No matter here - or there With different fears and exposed so bare Just is it so – quite low Where do you go in your constant flow Where is your aim – to frame In crazy games with your figure to claim being blamed for CHORUS A A reason to hope On a slippery slope That we creep and climb to cope With a life on a thin frayed rope CHORUS 1B, 3B In our cozy nest proudly knocking on our chests Dissect – us and them with no respect CHORUS 2B Too many hidden threats Amongst us grow, become upset Protect, for fear of strangeness VERSE 3 A life in peace – decease Will you be free or in misery ? A life in harm – and arms A life of joy no one will destroy Will you be pleased – or squeezed With dignity or where having to flee to no place VERSE 4 Will you be save - and brave Close to the end near between the waves An open gate – or wait what is your fate in a hostile state Will you exalt – or halt in front a fence for defense against frightening difference

Sort Vibes feat. Maya West - Thought 05:08
lyrics

VERSE 1 Thought there was a future so bright for us Thought there was so much joy and light in us Thought there would be a big chance for both of us - maybe VERSE 2 Thought there was much time that we spent and thus Thought you'd never let go of my hand - discuss Thought it'd never ends – so we planned for us - maybe CHORUS A We held each other on our way – we deceived ourselves – betrayal Illusions for one to dream of - melt in the sun, start to lean off A shift and move in a cyclic way New wound – Off ground – New rebound CHORUS B Welcome you're back in this game like black jack so you're pushed in this show and your feelings to go There's a new game to play - and there's no more to say As our past flows away - yet no reasons to stay longer New wound – Off ground – New rebound Confound – Unbound – New Round

lyrics

VERSE 1 Simple men – disrupt their plans, to shelter behind walls Heard their tale – so nice in jail - don't make yourself a thrall The hate in you – the hate they brew - victims to offend Think about – before shout - your mind washed and tightened penned, so penned VERSE 2 Don't divide us – stay upright – no one steals your joys Stop your slide - to the right - millions of clapping toys Trust your pain – change your lane - new ways ahead to find Break your chain – and stop this train - life trail to twist and wind, and still blind VERSE 3 Sense your life and live your sense – find behind a new sight Dance your life and live your dance - still got the funk at night Body shake – be no fake – be the soul with you day and night Self remake – get awake - lit the fire to shine so bright, so bright CHORUS Don't be afraid of the other Don't let the state lead like father Don't let em be biggest brother You loose just more of yours, rather Don't be afraid of the different and human rights questioned and bent

Constraints 04:13
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 Slip out of this cosy skin, get out of your bin Jump out of this fish bowl and forget if it's a sin Caught inside this crazy pot, floating with whole lot Move beyond your routine, start to rewrite your own plot VERSE 2 Do you need all that you have and have all that you need ? Feeling forced to nowhere you're the only one to lead Drilled to run machinery, find the doors to flee No more feed the system and escape for being free VERSE 3 Squeezed between agenda wheels, stop to be their slave Guide yourself at home, feel, put your notes between the stave Tightened blinkers on your head, who has set the track ? Break out of the treadmill and the rat race without slack VERSE 4 Trick this monster, stop to feed, forth and back proceed Distrust any leaders and their walls that so mislead Crooked and shaped to fit the box, cared within the norm Find the keys for your locks, burst the bondage to perform CHORUS Don't stay conform remain Else you deform insane No induced duty, discipline, no head in the bin Don't shelter in constraints Shivering heart so faint No induced guilt, your sorrow built, tight in your skin BRIDGE Reveal your feel Trust your appeal Retract this deal OUTRO Part of to be Got cease to flee And you'll be free

about

‘Sparks’ collides intricate rhythms, eclectic instrumentation, and an abundance of incognito vocal talent that lift Sort Vibes’ production skills to new heights.

From the colorfully percussive and melodic moments of ‘Apart’ to the downright soulful grooves of ‘Still Got The Funk’, Sort’s versatility as an artist is displayed for all to see in his debut full-length LP ‘Sparks’.

“My debut album, songs are mainly about self-empowerment and issues moving and dividing the society before the pandemic came.”
• Sort Vibes

The Austrian songwriter, artist, and producer puts his best foot forward with his debut offering to the world. It’s a culmination of years of work and a lifetime of influence drawn from his adoration for the hot energy of vintage Soul and Funk, driving Latin grooves, and all things syncopated. Throw in House and Disco into the mix, and you’ve got a recipe for something truly exceptional.

Sort Vibes has developed his own signature sound, one that incorporates intricate processing of analog recordings, splitting up the atomic composition of drums to forge something completely new to genres typically associated with more conservative music-making approaches. Collaborators include renowned bass guitarist, Gerald Kiesewetter and a variety of brilliant vocalists from Europe, US and Australia spread across each track,

“Influenced by his long dedication to Blues, many songs are pushing forward with off beat Piano patterns originating from Rhythm & Blues and Rock ‘n Roll. While rarely leaving the analog musical base formed by Piano, Rhodes or Hammond, the Sparks album reflects musical freedom to deconstruct drum and sound sequences and rearrange them to forge something new and unexpected.

Each of these songs embraces a colorful sonic world, enhanced in its own way with the distinctive voice of an individual singer, recorded in her or his own town, such as London, Los Angeles or Melbourne, during the pandemics.”

Sort Vibes Linz, Austria

Hit fitting keys, don‘t need a sheet with black spots and five lines

Float on the breeze, just passion leads and nothing that confines

So get it up and let it go from sonic worlds inside

Transform to motion, in full flow, let intuition guide

My music is my story and here now to be told

I dont write for glory, Im no product to be sold!
