EPs
Versatility is a strength, but so too is the defiant ability to understand and consistently connect with the roots of the genre, and Adam Collins has mastered that balance with both heart and skill. The Get Me Started EP is an easy must for global dance music venues across the board – a timeless yet crisp and contemporary addition to the everlasting scene that continues to bring people together.
Composer and lyricist Basya Schlecter joins forces with Shaul Magid, creatively intertwining Appalachian music with Jewish Friday night prayer, for the organic and beautifully moving Folk and World album Kabbalachia.
Omaha alternative Folk-Rock band Tag Along introduce the very best of their heartfelt creativity, with a self-titled EP that instantly captures attention.
Driven by a simple desire to inspire positivity and optimism in a world so often desperate to portray the worst, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jordan 7 writes and releases indie rock arrangements and tracks, which openly embrace living in the moment and appreciating the beauty and wonder of the world.
Featuring loaded productions of multiple synths, bass, relentless but light rhythms and occasional vocals, Nite sees the multi-instrumentalist Mathias move away from the organic and into the programmed world of samples, synths, and LFOs. The result is an impressively melodic, often euphoric listen, that falls somewhere between the likes of raver EDM and Daft Punk.
Uniting Hip Hop and RnB across a uniquely dreamy soundscape, WHAT ABOUT FLOWERS is impressively versatile as a sub-three-minute single. Within that short timeframe, SAVIOUR showcases both the natural strength of his breathy and faultless RnB vocal style, and the grittier rhythmic flavours of his affinity for rap.
Leaky Ship was indeed a rightful indicator of the artistic weight and purpose of BenBen and Lily’s collaboration. The music of this EP has so much to offer in terms of its musicality and conceptual consideration.
The rest of the That’s life project follows suit in terms of the genre freedom, this Folk-meets-Ska approach to organic and colourful music. Think Sublime with a twist of The Pogues, only here we get stories and sentiments, structural songwriting and musical freshness, that all proves true to the disco partisan approach.
Italian-Venezuelan composer and producer Sarah R Jay, currently based in the UAE, creates intoxicating audio tapestries that completely envelop listeners – the sort of intricately designed, colourful yet melodic fusion of genres that’s imaginative and euphoric to escape into.
Celebratory pop rock with a hazy nostalgic mix – Alexander Beresford writes melodies and songs from the heart, throughout the likes of his single Don’t Break My Heart.
Proxxes achieves a fine balance of all essential elements as a contemporary DJ. The skill require to let euphoric and evocative music fully embrace its listeners, alongside the creative ambition and heart to make something that feels genuine and ethereal. Weave in that inherent versatility, and whilst the Proxxes style becomes easy to recognise, no two tracks are ever the same.
