admin

September 13, 2024

Melodic house maestro, Exstra unveiled his latest single ‘All I’ll Ever Know’ featuring the glorious UK-based singer-songwriter MØØNE, on 13 September via Enormous Chills. The captivating single premiered on esteemed tastemaker House Music With Love.

Based in New York, Exstra initially started out as a DJ in Washington DC. After moving to New York, his DJ career flourished from 2013 to 2020, but when Covid struck it all came to a sudden halt. This is when his music production journey started. ‘All I’ll Ever Know’ comes hot off the heels of his recently released single ‘Frozen’, which received support from Magnetic Magazine and was played by Nora En Pure on Purified Radio 404 and 409.

‘All I’ll Ever Know’ features Exstra’s signature organic hues and analogue soundscapes, that’s able to enthral the listener from beginning to end. With lyrics like “I’d rather feel it all, than nothing at all”, the track is a wholesome anecdote to the power that lies in feeling your emotions, no matter how scary, intense or intimidating they may seem. MØØNE sings from her core, as she fantastically conveys the emotional depths of the lyrics with her profound and tender-hearted vocals.

Exstra shared: “The instrumental version of ‘All I’ll Ever Know’ started with the melodic arp you hear featured throughout and came together extremely quickly. I knew that I wanted it to have vocals and I was so excited when MØØNE was down to collaborate. MØØNE’s warm and emotional voice is the perfect addition to the record and we’re so excited to be able to share it with the world!”

Blossoming producer/composer Calcou shares a breathtaking debut LP, ‘Murmuration’

admin

July 9, 2024

Multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer Calcou has shared his sophomore album Murmuration on July 5th, 2024 via MfRD+C. Calcou’s latest singles were picked by worldwide Spotify editorials for playlists like Fresh Finds, Late Night Vibes, metropolis or by Apple US for focus playlists like Today’s Chill. He has received support from numerous blogs and magazines such as CLASH Magazine, Stereofox, Son Of Marketing, House Music With Love, Majestic Casual and ElectroPosé to name a few. Calcou has worked with a wide range of well-known brands including Universal Music and BMW, who have just featured his latest release ‘Anthophyllite’ in a global ad campaign. Calcou finds inspiration in the works of Kiasmos, Bonobo, and Caribou while his latest release calls to mind the likes of Four Tet, Maribou State and George FitzGerald.

Murmuration is an enchanting journey through deep house electronica and more. Calcou captivates listeners with deep, rhythmic basslines, shimmering synths, and captivating pads that echo the resonance of nature. The standout track, ‘Birdsong’, lives up to its name with delicate piano chords blending into a hypnotic breakbeat, accompanied by organic textures. The album intricately weaves glitchy and natural sounds, creating an exhilarating and calming musical experience.

Calcou shared: “After several EPs that felt more like fragments, I finally wanted to tell a whole story. Last year I saw huge flocks of birds dancing almost synchronously across the sky. I captured them on my phone and when I went back to the studio I was completely in awe: The movements of the birds seemed to lock in with my music immediately and it all felt very dreamy and hypnotic, other times driving and euphoric.

It was incredible to discover how much rhythm and variation there is in the flight of birds and how inspiring it is to compose to it.

To me, Murmuration feels very personal. It’s my first album and I think that’s always a special moment. I have tried to bring in many musical influences that have defined me as a human being and connect them as if in a swarm – Field Recordings, Re-Sampling, Acoustic elements, Jazz, Synthesziers and everything in between. I really hope the listener can feel the love for detail I put into creating this album but also the beauty of nature that inspired it.”

July 9, 2024

Gregor Tresher, renowned German DJ and producer, released a dynamic remix of ADRIANNA‘s latest techno track, ‘Wild Electric’, via her label Temple House Music on July 5th, 2024. Tresher, a fixture in electronic music since his Frankfurt beginnings in the ’90s, brings his signature sound to enhance ADRIANNA‘s vibrant production. ADRIANNA, known for her impactful blend of vocals and club-ready beats, has garnered acclaim with residencies worldwide and a notable presence in both music and film, including a lead role in the Cannes-premiered movie Bloodline.

ADRIANNA‘s original track ‘Wild Electric’ surged to #5 on the Beatport charts post-release, showcasing its high-energy acid tech sound. The track features pulsating, distorted rhythms, trippy synth layers, acid stabs, subtle pop vocal samples, and a powerful four-on-the-floor kick. Gregor Tresher‘s remix skillfully pays homage to the original while adding his touch of lighter, more melodic elements and organic tones. Retaining the hard-hitting rhythm, Tresher‘s version evolves into a subtle yet hypnotic reinterpretation of the energetic original, offering a refreshing twist on the blistering banger.

Gregor Tresher shared: “I really liked the vocals of the original track when I got the remix request, and thought it would be interesting to put them over an instrumental that’s kinda big room/warehouse sounding, so that’s what I aimed for with my remix”.

admin

May 7, 2024

Versatile Dutch producer SUBFICTION unveiled a new single, ‘we_glitch’, on April 26th, 2024 via On Track / SUBFICTION. ‘we_glitch’, which premiered via Electronic Groove, is an appetizer for his forthcoming EP of the same name, slated for release in May 2024. Since the project’s inception in 2022, the year in which he notably played an official after-show for Ross From Friends, the elusive SUBFICTION has been making waves in the music industry with no signs of slowing down. He has toured the Netherlands alongside De Likt and legendary travelling festival The Popronde as 3voor12 talent, and performed at festivals like Grasnapolsky, Motel Mozaïque and Eendracht Festival, as well as many underground clubs. In 2023, SUBFICTION hosted a festival stage together with Irish DJ/producer Kessler’s new label Elicit Records. Unstoppable, in January 2024 the elusive maestro participated in Eurosonic Noorderslag and was awarded the number 12 of best acts by 3voor12.

‘we_glitch’ is an epic piece of Future Garage music, with SUBFICTION deftly drawing influence from UK warehouse styles.

Dreamy, atmospheric chords are occasionally punctuated by glitchy, pitched-up vocals, creating a hypnotic listen that is impossible not to move to.

SUBFICTION shared: “‘we_glitch’ is my sonic journey through the glitchy heart of underground house. It’s where skittering breakbeats meet twisted vocals and the ethereality of future-garage, creating a hypnotic groove that’ll have you lost in the glitch with me, the mysterious glitchmeister, aka SUBFICTION.”
