DANCE SPIRIT — LUNATIC :\\\\ The second album. Out September 25 on 交感 / Koukan. A 100\%\% DIY multimedia release: 11 tracks, 11 videos, one full-length visual album.\n\nSix years after it was finished, Dance Spirit's second album finally arrives.\n\nLunatic was complete and ready for release before the pandemic. Then the world shut down, and Christopher Mohn and Robotek Reagan — the two halves of Dance Spirit — spent the years that followed apart, working on themselves as artists and as people. They've come back together to release the album on their own terms, on their own label, six years late and exactly on time.\n\nThe album crosses the full arc of an electronic listening experience. It opens in ambient haze, drifts through trip-hop and slow deep house, climbs into psychedelic breaks and progressive minimalism, threads through electronic pop, and lands on the title track: a vocal-led, synth-twisted house anthem written on a full moon in April 2016. Lunatic doesn't sit in one genre because it isn't trying to. It's a journey record, in the tradition of albums you put on and let unfold — and a full, seamless mixed version of the album exists for exactly that purpose, in both audio and video formats.\n\nLyrically and thematically, Lunatic sits with duality — light and dark, waking and dreaming, connection and rupture. "We're connected when we break," sings the title track. That line is the album's thesis. It's a record for the weirdos, the freaks, the creators, the dreamers, the revolutionaries — the lunatics — and for the lifelong fight against the gravitational pull of normalcy and stagnation. In a dance music culture that often glosses over its own shadow, Lunatic offers something rarer: a record that acknowledges both sides and finds the balance.\n\nEach of the 11 tracks is accompanied by a music video from visual artist Purdy Lites, whose analog VHS-treated psychedelia turns the album into a chapter-by-chapter visual narrative. Cover art is by Christopher Mohn. Robotek Reagan provides lead vocals on Tranquilized & Hypnotized, Dream A Better Way, and Lunatic.\n\nLunatic is the inaugural release on 交感 (Koukan) — Japanese for the kind of resonance that passes between people, between artist and listener, between sound and body. The label is Dance Spirit's own imprint, founded to release this album and the unreleased Dance Spirit catalog that has been waiting alongside it.\n\nNo PR firm. No label machine. Two artists, a visual collaborator, a small crew of friends, and an album that finally gets to be heard — on its own terms, against the grain, by people who've never been very good at doing things any other way.
