Gigi FM SHELTER OUR TIME

Written during a period of enforced stillness, the record became a form of transportation to imaginary realms; warm sunsets, liquid horizons and underwater dreamscapes that became portals to spaces where GiGi’s mind could still move freely.

Beyond its warmth, Shelter Our Time became a space of processing. The music acted as a catalyst – transforming experience into rhythm, memory into melody. For GiGi, music has always been a form of therapy, a way to metabolize life in real time. As she puts it, “It’s about learning to hold joy and pain in the same body and choosing to keep dancing anyway.”

Opening track Neptune invites us beneath the surface. Lush 90s-inspired pads and emotive liquid breaks unfold in a nostalgic yet forward-moving tone, setting the atmosphere for the underwater realm that frames the EP.

Here And Now brings the pulse closer to the body. Skippy breaks and a grounding 808 sub carry Rhodes melodies and GiGi’s mantra-like vocals: Sun in me, still burning. Pop-inflected drum & bass bridges vulnerability and strength – an affirmation that even through hardship, resilience remains untouched.

The title track Shelter Our Time is an homage to classic 90s liquid jungle reimagined through GiGi’s own lens. Wah guitar textures, glowing pads and rolling breaks cradle a fragile yet radiant moment – a shared space between friends, lovers, dancers – where time slows and expands.

On I Run, movement becomes liberation. GiGi’s voice begins tender in the verses and rises, luminous and full, in the chorus. Her voice note reflection grounds the euphoria in memory – a reminder that time moves in cycles, that moments return, and that we are still here inside them.

The closing piece Pacific completes the immersion. Faster, more propulsive breaks glide beneath bell-like, almost gamelan-inspired melodies, evoking dolphins cutting through open water towards a horizon stretching endlessly outward.

Across the EP, GiGi FM holds joy and beauty alongside hardship, refusing escapism in favour of presence. This is a record about healing - trusting the inner sun through darker cycles; about love, friendship and choosing to remain open to life.

With SRN004, Sea~rène continues to expand unconfined to one genre, and fearless in emotional range. Liquid drum & bass and jungle become vessels for poetry, vulnerability, and movement. The tide shifts once more, but the current remains clear, to follow the emotional waves of the universe, wherever they lead.[info sheet from distr.]
