Having one of those days? Motivation at an all time low? Life all up in your face? EDM won’t cut it?

Sometimes all you need is five minutes of audial bliss to escape a funk and find your happy place. Although his name wouldn’t suggest it, Emancipator’s tracks are filled with warm fuzzies.

Douglas Appling (Emancipator) is a trip hop based producer out of Portland, Oregon. He’s been in the game for a few years now, and has garnered quite the cult following over the years.

Minor Cause is the first single off Emancipator’s new album Dusk to Dawn – out 1/29/13 on Loci Records.
