Over the last two weeks, we have been going through some dark days.
We have all been feeling intense sadness and grief. We know it is so hard to handle such pain physically and mentally.
The tragedy in Israel highlights how much our community has suffered, and how much our planet still suffers from violence, and how we want to stand for a different world.
We are all unclear how and when we can reset and restart enjoying our time dancing together, smiling and celebrating. But we can take steps.
As a label that is so active in the scene, we want to do what we can to generate some positivity at a time of such darkness.
So, at Matsuri we decided to offer two singles for free to whoever wants to hear some music to recharge or heal their spirit.
1. Prana - Sense of Unity
2. N.Sof - Dark Noir EP
These two fresh singles are available at no cost for a while (the page will invite you to enter a price but you can enter 0 to get it for free).
You can feel free to share with friends who need some joy or a boost of power.
We hope we can move past this dark time before long and come together in celebration again soon.

Matsuri Digital is delighted to announce a release that is sure to thrill psychedelic dance music lovers: the first release of a new track by Prana in the 21st century - Sense of Unity.
To celebrate the approaching 30th anniversary of the legendary project Prana, the three musicians who were part of the group in its two original incarnations - Tsuyoshi Suzuki, Nick Taylor, and Andy Guthrie - have joined forces to create a series of releases, the first of which is this amazing new single.
The first track to be released that features all three members of the group working together - something that never happened even in the 90s - Sense of Unity has all the classic hallmarks of vintage Prana while taking advantage of advances in production and composition. With catchy riffs, uplifting patterns, and lots of momentum, Sense of Unity is bound to become a classic like its predecessors ... and this is just a taste of what is yet to come for the band's 30th anniversary!
Sense of Unity is available on September 29 - be sure to get it and prepare to blast off!
