Kyle Watson teams up with Body Ocean, arriving with ‘Are You The Same’ via his own label, No Context Records. Setting the tone for his upcoming album, it arrives as the debut release from the project.
In full command of his own creative vision, Kyle continues to move beyond trends to establish a presence that expands across global settings: from landing on high-profile stages, including Coachella and, recently, Ultra South Africa, to bringing fresh studio material to an engaged community of listeners, Kyle leads with instinct and the confidence that comes from experience.
For his new album, he has moved into a space where the creative process becomes fully transparent. Seeking to foster honesty and intimacy, he has embraced a project that documents the journey in real time. From initial conception through to final
mastering, the 18-week process serves as an exercise in transparency, bringing listeners closer to the realities of music creation while holding him accountable to his own output.
When speaking on this collaboration alongside Body Ocean, Kyle mentions:
“Body Ocean have been pushing the boundaries of sound design in this scene for a while, and I’ve always been a fan of what they do. I couldn’t imagine a better collaboration to kick off this project.” – Kyle Watson.
Body Ocean, a House project fronted by Jeremy Glenn, bring their own creative vision to life in ‘Are You The Same.’ Sustaining the deep-rooted musicality and refined sound design that shape their identity, this project signals a continuation of their musical journey. While having earned support from VIPs like Dom Dolla,
Claptone, and Fedde Le Grand, working alongside Kyle marks a full-circle moment:
“Kyle has been a big inspiration and influence, so to get the call-up to work on music together was amazing. And then to create ‘Are You The Same’, a song that captures so much feeling and is so expressive with Kyle was a dream. Super honored to be
part of this project and can’t wait to share this one with the world.” – Body Ocean.
Complementing one another’s styles, Kyle and Body Ocean create sonic harmony in ‘Are You The Same:’ tying together dynamic House energy with a forward-thinking
edge. With a sophisticated sound, laying down soulful vocals over lush chords, shuffling rhythms, and bright synth motifs, the track builds a rolling momentum, evolving into a hypnotic, subtly energetic, and intricately textured arrangement.
An encouraging preview of Kyle Watson’s creative direction, ‘Are You The Same’ comes as an expressive, refreshing release: distinct in character, feeling, and
execution. As the album continues to evolve, listeners are invited to follow the journey in real time across his social channels and experience a first taste by listening to ‘Are You The Same’ today – out now via No Context Records.
