From The Floor is quite probably the duo’s most intense and immersive release yet, seeing the weight and pace of relentless EDM rain down around you from the offset.
Offering up more character than ever, a relentlessly uplifting, energizing rhythm and pace, and an underlying beat that’s genuinely colourful and melodically on point – We Love kicks in with brightness and style and never lets up until it’s over.
While there are dashes of recognizable, contemporary hip hop in the vocal effects and the beat, this considerate core seems to stand taller than that, so from the offset you get an image of LA$ka as fairly poetic and more of a deep thinker than most.
Fusing the organic instrumental set-up of country, with the warmth of pop-rock and the conceptual optimism of a songwriter with a genuine love for to the art-form, I’m Here To Party With You offers up a stunning collection of musically satisfying, thoughtful and passionate songs. Always honest, always with heart, and always a pleasure to have fill the room.
Ltronnika takes listeners down a decidedly retro, multi-layered pathway of electronic sound design with this latest release. Effectively encapsulating the very essence of exploration, the track is distinctly varied and sees numerous different sections and samples emerge as it moves through its three and a half minute journey.
A heart-warming, intimate and honest display of gratitude and appreciation for a significant other, which is refreshing to listen to right now, and breathes a wonderful breath of positivity into the music world.
“(Tech) has lead to some talented people getting recognized who might otherwise not have been, but it’s also lead to an inundation of “talent”. So instead of seeing a newer DJ who has had to practice, invest money & time into his or her art form, we are left with DJ John & Jane Doe who own a Macbook, downloaded free beat matching software & are essentially running their iTunes playlist in front of a crowd.”
Rob Georg is swiftly becoming one of the most unwavering, honest and emotionally pure country songwriters around right now.
Halfway Human break the mold beautifully with this latest release. A live show would likely see entire crowds of people under their spell and feeding off of that passion and unpredictability.
Nikol Star has a sound that feels relevant to today’s world of hip hop and RnB crossovers, but it’s also a sound and style that could well build up a collection of songs easily recognisable as unique and loaded with specific personality. You know the tone once you’ve heard it, and that makes a big difference.
There’s something fascinating about the way they come at the topics, the considerate nature of the questions and responses, and indeed just the intricate manner in which they ponder social constructs and respect and happiness.
