"Cinnamon Chasers"

Cinnamon Chasers, from London, dropped on our doorstep via the incredible Diamond Cut. I could probably just quote him about the song we're bringing you, but you might have a heart attack. He gets intense.

This song feels like "The Never Ending Story" in audio form. It has that unique quality that only a few producers can replicate, where the song feels like a freight train, rumbling along at a slow speed. Within 30 seconds the song feels like it could have started hours ago and is months from slowing down.

It's a song for a late night drive, when you're contemplating what to do with your entire life. It feels important, without sounding to big. Anyway, parts seep in without you realizing it, it builds and falls without stopping the momentum. All in all its a fantastic song. The bass, the overreaching bass that just won't let the song slip away. Its the key. The key to it all.

Their entire EP, which I totally recommend, is available on all major digital carriers. Pick it upppp. - Binary


"What UJ’s loving right now…"

Music to drive to: Cinnamon Chasers ‘Luv Deluxe’ [Modus Records]. Sounds like John Carpenter in the mood to dance. - Urban Junkies


"Chasing Stars"

Cinnamon Chasers is a future-inspired disco group from the UK. Their first release, the "Jetstreams EP", features the sounds of sweeping synths and smooth electronic drums. I'm looking forward to the release of their full album which, according to Cinnamon Chaser's myspace, should be dropped sometime this Spring on Modus Records. Hop over to Binary to check out "Luv Deluxe" off of the "Jetstreams EP". The rest of the tracks can be found at your preferred online music distributor. - Bangers and Trash


"Cinnamon Chasers @ BENT"

Russ Davies, AKA Cinnamon Chasers, is the son and nephew of Dave and Ray Davies, who founded The Kinks, and hung out with music royalties like Joey Ramone and John Carpenter. As such his music is flavoursome, knowing electro-pop any gay man will love. - BENT


"Cinnamon Chasers - Jetstreams"

Cinnamon Chasers is the new alias for Abakus, which was the old alias for Russ Davies, an artist who may be related with two of The Kinks by blood but certainly not by sound. Davies' most recent incarnation, while he does incorporate a taste of the retro by way of a dollop of disco, is one of the latest purveyors of streamlined space-age electro pop, incorporating feathery, vocoder vocals, shimmering synths, carefully placed zips and zaps and a side-stepping beat perfectly tailored for a bit of stylish shoegazing. - Artrocker Magazine

Cinnamon Chasers is the alter ego of Russ Davies, a man with an extraordinary musical background. As the son and nephew of Dave and Ray Davies, the two founding member of The Kinks, Russ has lived the equivalent of a fairytale life for music lovers. Not only directly related to one of the most influential bands to ever come out of the UK, he’s been artistically influenced since a young age, where hanging out with Joey Ramone in LA whilst living in John Carpenters house was just another day.


Russ Davies has strong musical roots and cites early pioneers like Giorgio Moroder, Vangelis, Jean-Micheal Jarre, and KLF as key influences and leading to modern talent such as Alax Braxe, Rex The Dog, Junior Boys.. In 2010 Cinnamon Chasers gained major notoriety with their hit tune and video Luv Deluxe, which won the award at the 2010 SXSW Conference for Best Music Video. The video has been a major viral hit on the web with over 3 million views on the web and screened on over 30 film festivals world wide, including best Dance Video catagory at the UKMVAs.

Cinnamon Chasers is inspired by films like Flight Of The Navigator, Never ending Story. “I try to create music that gives me the vibe those classic films gave me as a kid”. Rather than create pretentious moody dance music Russ wants to create music that has an honest heart, and good intentions, and feels like a good friend. Cinnamon Chasers achieves this with a perfect blend of crisp electronics, Pop based song structure and melodies, and an Indie feel. Russ also works under the Alias of ABAKUS, and released the album “That Much Closer to the Sun”, which was subsequently published to Jazz Summers' BIGLIFE Music, and released on Liquid Sound, label of Killing Joke and the Verve producer Youth, and had tracks licensed to over 40 CD albums. Youth is also a good friend of Russ and they have worked on several collaborations together including a remix for The Orb in 2007. In 2010 Russ was especially commissioned to remix some classics from the Roxy Music vault. He has Dj'd the globe for the last four years with his unique hybrid sound across all continents, South America, North America, throughout Europe, and Asia from experimental electronic festivals in the mountains in Japan to warehouse parties in Russian city outskirts.

The Cinnamon Chasers live perfomance show is a mind-blending explosion of mutant italo and electrofied disco house and features a world of underground party inflused remixes and dubs of CC tracks.
