“When God closes a door, he opens a dress.” – Roger Sterling – Mad Men
It is often said that one door closes and another one opens.
During this back-and-forth process, I met James Seddon aka Jsed. Together we took part in the Mixing and Mastering course given by Jon Kong (Leftwing : Kody). James spoke to me and told me that some friends were starting a label and he thought my music would fit perfectly with their label. He asked me if he could share my music with them.
This is where Nightlapse, famous Liverpool duo Peter and Andy, who recently launched Krank , step in.
Shortly afterward I get a direct message from Peter saying that they would like to sign the track. I sent more tracks, but the chosen song was destined. I warned that I was waiting for a response from Toolroom but Peter insisted that they really wanted to sign Ravelution and honestly I just said to him: “If I don’t get any answer next week, the music is yours.”
After a week without any news, I didn’t wait any longer.
Despite being a recent record label, I was not afraid because I felt that the support was genuine and real. A fact that was proven because Nightlapse used and promoted the song in several performances, one of them for more than 20,000 people, at Belsonic 2022, in Belfast.
Not always the path we have in mind works. Sometimes there’s something better around the corner waiting for you. Keep the doors open.
Special thanks to Jon, James, Eddie, Peter & Andy.
