Mastered by Robb R
Release: Single ”Werewolf”
Written by Pinwheel Valley
Cover Art by Alex Pap
“Werewolf” by Pinwheel Valley is a raw and emotional dive into the mind of the working-class man who feels like an outsider in society. The song explores the inner conflict of someone pushed to the edge, grappling with a violent transformation brought on by neglect and mistreatment from those in power. It’s a metaphor for the battle between good and evil that rages within when the world turns a blind eye.
Pinwheel Valley – Going Away (Single)
Recorded by Qais Khoury & Tal Arditi / Mixed by Andreas Matheou – at Hot Soap Studios in Spring of 2025.
Mastered by Robb R
Release: Single ”Going Away”
Written by Pinwheel Valley & Tal Arditi
Cover Art by Alex Pap
“Going Away” by Pinwheel Valley is a slow-burning, gut-wrenching, soul-surrendering kind of indie song. Co-written with Berlin-based guitarist and composer Tal Arditi, it’s not some overproduced radio bait. It’s vulnerable and real.
The song moves like a spiritual journey, starting in the dark, tangled corners of self-doubt and societal pressure, then gradually moving toward something softer, freer, more open. Arditi’s guitar work ripples with warmth and precision, while Qais’s voice carries a fragile strength that sounds like it’s lived a thousand lifetimes. Together, they build a soundscape that’s cinematic without being over-the-top, intimate without feeling small.
“Going Away” is about letting go, not just of someone else, but of everything you thought you had to be. It’s about peeling back the noise, the ego, the weight of performance, and finding something quieter and truer underneath.
Erika Soteri – The American Dream (Single)
Recorded by Andreas Matheou at Hot Soap Studios in October of 2020
Release: Single ”The American Dream”
Erika Soteri is a powerhouse performer and a jazzy, soulful singer-songwriter born in London, England and raised in Cyprus. The up-and-coming artist recently gained exposure, following her success on The Voice of Greece. All 4 judges instantly turned around and fought to have Erika join their team. After her decision to join Eurovision’s sweetheart, Helena Paparizou’s team, Erika made it through to the semi-finals of the show. Born into a family of musicians, Erika began dancing, acting, singing and playing the piano at the age of 3 and began writing music by the age of 10. Her musical influences consist of Jazz, Funk, Neo-Soul and RnB and include artists such as Sade, Amy Winehouse and band Hiatus Kaiyote. Erika’s rich tone and retro, sultry, silky vocals, as well as her lyrics make her seem wise beyond her years. Her style is classically elegant and refreshing; an artist that will in no-doubt be cutting through mainstream and introducing the industry to a sound that is timeless yet still thoroughly original.
Pinwheel Valley – Dark Side of the Light (Single)
Recorded, mixed and produced by Andreas Matheou & Kais Khoury at Hot Soap Studios in April 2020
Release: Single ”Dark Side of the Light”
Written by: Pinwheel Valley (formerly ‘KAIS’)
Kais Khoury, professionally known as KAIS, is a Canadian, Jordanian born singer-songwriter and producer.
Blending a fresh fusion of Indie, Alternative, and Soul-infused Blues & Folk Rock, he’s creatively addressed a wide array of topics. Recognizing music as a tool that could move and influence people, he first wrote about world issues like war and global warming. Today, his poetic complexities have grown to express the plain difficulties of being human. Always a lover for mysticism, he’s woven a fine balance between natural inclinations and the demands of the social world. For the most part, he certainly is no stranger to wanderlust and has expanded the boundaries of his spiritual development with an avid love for traveling and open expanse sports like kitesurfing and even skydiving.
Gradually having made ripples in the music industry as an independent and self-funded artist, he’s performed quite a number of gigs since the early 2000s. In 2014, he took part in the Mayor of London Big Busk. That year, he put a stamp on his music career after graduating with a diploma in Music Production and Sound Engineering out of Point Blank Music College. It’s safe to say that he’s dabbled with electronic sound design and other far-reaching aspects of the music industry, and has prolonged the rewards of that entrepreneurial musicianship with a broader vocabulary and a hands-on approach. In alliance with a full band, he continued to perform throughout Vancouver, BC, Toronto, ON and Seattle, WA in 2016 and 2017, and was set to perform at SXSW in Austin, TX in 2018. Recent achievements include an ‘Honorary Mention’ in the 2016 International Songwriting Competition, a ‘Best Out of Province’ Nomination at the 13th Annual Toronto Independent Music Awards and a ‘Lyrics Finalist’ in the 2017 USA Songwriting Competition.
Although he has retired from live performing in the last couple of years since moving back to his hometown, he gradually continues to write and record music now with greater maturity and a stronger approach, all to be released in due time. One thing seems certain for this artist… His intense passion and an insatiable thirst for self-betterment are taking things up a notch for both him and the steadfast comrades by his side.
