City life isn’t always easy or pleasant, but whether you call it home or you’re just out for a visit, there’s an undeniable energy that envelopes you. Danger becomes excitement, speed becomes the regular pace, and exhaustion morphs into an urge to rally, to not miss a beat of what these myriad concrete jungles have to offer. And after a while, you learn to settle into it. You relax, you walk with a little more ease, and, eventually, you become yourself at your most slick. Hiatt dB’s
City Slick celebrates that carnality of the city, while simultaneously asking the one question burning in every city dweller’s mind – why am I even here?? Rat races, dumpster res, endless injustice, outrageous prices, conquered green spaces… an innite array of inhumanity hurled in your face on a daily basis; Is it really worth it? But we all know why
we’re here, and it’s not something you can verbalize. It’s the feeling you get when the hellscape precipitates that which life is all about: real, serendipitous, life-arming experience.
Still, even on its best days, the City can be unkind. So if you need some tunes to help you push on, Hiatt’s cooked up the perfect soundtrack for your pavement-pounding steps.
13th Hour Records is a New York based record label. Initially started by two friends looking for dance music on the darker end of the spectrum, it has since evolved into an eclectic outlet for experimental, ambient and electronic sounds.
We are humbled every day by the artists who choose to work with us and by the listeners who choose to join us on this journey. We feel like we're just getting started.
You’re welcome to get in touch with us at info@13thhourrecs.com. We devote most of our time to serving the artists currently on our roster, but we’re always open to listening to new music.
