Sonic Juncture comprises of DJ/Producer talents, George and Josh. They each initially embarked on separate musical journeys. Josh, whose rhythmic abilities were apparent from infancy as he played with pots and pans, he then grew up big and strong by eating all his vegetables and matured his skills through guitar and production. Meanwhile, George refined his musical prowess through piano before immersing himself in diverse electronic genres. Their paths intersected at Falmouth University, sparking the collaborative journey that is Sonic Juncture.
'Can't I Just Be?'
'Can't I Just Be?' offers an introspective melodic journey for the listener. Sonic Juncture have produced a piece of electronica-a spiritual and almost tribal, chilled-out piece of house music-suitable for a soothing listen on headphones while in transit, played loud on an Ibizan terrace, or enjoyed in a beer garden on a sunny day in Brighton.
''Can't I Just Be?' was conceived during a hectic period in George's personal life. Crafting the track became a means of slowing down and tuning out distractions, restoring equilibrium. The title itself embodies this sentiment, and strangely enough, by the time we completed the track, George was feeling notably better-a curious coincidence, isn't it? After establishing the captivating bassline and keys, Josh meticulously chopped up samples, weaving them into the track to craft the delightful call and response interplay.' - Sonic Juncture
Beginning with two chords slowly marching through a tunnel of dubbed-out saxophone and spaced-out pads, it's immediately clear that this music would be suitable for inclusion on a Nightmares On Wax or Zero 7 'Late Night Tales' compilation album. The musical complexity is immensely rewarding on good speakers or headphones, akin to a singular sine wave of musical dopamine pulsing through your veins.
'Can't I Just Be?' is like a b-side from a forgotten Cymande record, reimagined by Louie Vega. Latin percussion, dubbed-out saxophone and guitar, and echoed piano tinkerings meld with trippy reverberated pads. It epitomises top-tier chilled house music, providing a glimpse into the soul of Sonic Juncture.

The introduction is delicately adorned with intricate details-clicks, clacks, snaps, skipping hi-hats and snares fill the percussive landscape. Alton demonstrates a mastery of tempo and timing, seamlessly unveiling elements like tinkling keys or sweet pads that harmonise the track's components.
Elongated horn notes gently drift, engaging in a back-and-forth dialogue with the piano keys, evoking a dreamlike conversation in the clouds. This remix offers an elevated reinterpretation of the original, infusing it with a wholly organic electronic energy as if sourced from a thunderstorm, with lightning bolt keys and a drum pattern created by the rain. Alton pays homage to the original while painting the sky with the colourful notes of his own.
The peaceful serenity of the original is still there and thus a welcoming breeze of chilled electronica flows over you.
Queue an energetic acid line and an upped ante of audible urgency.
An alternative yet increasingly complex percussion configuration elevates the original to a shiny, happy new place - for those who need an extra shot of coffee in their morning cappuccino.
