We brought @iamrotana’s performance to the tree lined backyard at In Sheep’s Clothing right off the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. While the world is grappling with violence she helped bring some thoughtful calm to the space and everyone in attendance.
Alongside Lebanese composer, activist and educator, Hamed Sinno, the two discussed identity, scripture and the notion that perhaps being exiled from something that rejects you could in fact be freeing.
The soft, divine femininity of @IAmRotana's voice powerfully traveled through our bodies as we sat in silence on cushions across the Sound Room floor at Public Records.
Big thanks to @publicrecordsnyc, @dicefm, @weareplatoon and the collab that is OFFAIR and Floating.
Her personal experiences of grappling with her spirituality and desire—and her story of being banned from her home country of Saudi Arabia for it—seemed to welcome an interweaving with each of our own.
This record manifests as a poignant collection of prayers, meditations and chants of Allah’s 99 divine names , crafted and articulated by Rotana in her native tongue of Arabic, and brought to life through the evocative production of Superposition.
Rotana & Superposition’s “Opening” is a transcendent new collaboration between the sonic masterminds of @superposition and the soul-stirring voice of @IAmRotana. Out everywhere today, listen here: https://t.co/4lXA41Agkp
Embracing a shared passion for spiritual exploration & the transformative power of sound, they have coalesced their artistic gifts creating an immersive sonic landscape that invites listeners to delve into their inner sanctum & experience a profound sense of peace & connection.
A producer who’s made so much music we love, including the sounds of Daisy Jones and the Six, Mills is a true virtuoso, an “artist’s artist,” and we were honored to bear witness. Take a stroll down ‘Jelly Road’ 🚸

.@_blakemills released his new album today, ‘Jelly Road,’ along with collaborator Chris Weisman. This week they filled the Sound Room at @233butler with a performance that penetrated our bones.
Last night @_blakemills and Chris Weisman moved a roomful of fans who were frozen in the stillness of awe. You could hear every detail in the duo’s effects, until the audience erupted in cheers and howls between songs. Huge thanks to them and our @233butler family ❤️
Take a turn onto ‘Jelly Road’ with our next OFFAIR show on July 12th at Public Records, an evening with @_blakemills and collaborator, Chris Weisman 🚦 Join us and purchase your tickets at https://t.co/jMzi4Vy3DU
We’ve been testing out a new feature called "Your Offline Mix" - a playlist designed for those times when you might not be online ✈️
What do you think?
She and collaborator @HrishiHirway were inspired by “a golden hour in the late afternoon spent wandering through a sun-dappled orchard, leaves crunching underfoot.” Listen to “ambrosia” at https://t.co/xL1o4rymws and reach for a crisp, juicy apple while you’re at it 🍎
.@jennyowenyoungs creates a toast to the sweet and sticky reward of apple-picking in the fall with her new single “ambrosia,” 2 days before releasing her upcoming album 'OFFAIR: from the forest floor.'
“dusk” (feat. John Mark Nelson & Tancred) is the second single from her upcoming project ‘OFFAIR: from the forest floor,’ and “is a song for the incredible blue glow of a sky falling dark.”
