Airwaves Spectacular return with a totally eclectic and creatively colourful new album this year. The aptly titled Sinemadik takes the listener on wild ride through audio experimentation, upbeat energy, and provocative conceptual depth.
EDM
Love Hurts welcomes both the uplifting embrace of a synth-soaked EDM backdrop and the heartfelt, passionate connection of a song written with depth and intention.
This beat gives the composition a pulse, a notable level of humanity that drives things along. You feel as if the soundscape is slowly enveloping you, and that somehow your heart-rate is rising in the process – perhaps perfectly well encapsulating whatever it is that the word Dive conjures up for the listener.
Zizzo World’s experience and awareness as a musician shine throughout the release. The riffs, the vocal melody, the lyrics – there’s professionalism and creativity intertwined at every step, and always with an essential wave of passion running through everything.
The explosive Nikotene returns with an absolute banger this spring. How I Do hits hard in the way that classic house tracks once did. Whether late night or early morning – this one gets you feeling geared up and ready to go.
Musically there’s a beautiful level of nostalgia to the track Shadow Visions. Fresh from the EP Where You Know Yourself, the song bursts through with immediate warmth, colour, and optimistic energy.
Paul Wetz’ new release this week is a track that offers an immediately uplifting hit of escapism not unlike the work of The xx – though with a notably fuller, deep-house driven backdrop; and a refreshing concept and melody-line.
Yes! is quickly addictive, bringing through elements of Daft Punk and Empire Of The Sun alike – fusing inspiration from a wide range of genres, but doing so in a skillful and artistically relevant way. The result is a song that’s a total joy to turn up loud and get lost within.
Reel Feels brings together a dreamlike ocean of synths and a lightly industrial beat on this latest, entrancing new single Sedona.
The unison between the riffs and the vocal melody is quite stunning, and with that an overwhelming sense of space allows the central strengths of the music and its concept to stand tall in a natural and beautiful way.
It feels partly like a ballad, a loyal outpouring of admiration and affection, yet partly also like a huge moment of togetherness for the music fans who crave this sort of build-up and drop during the later hours of the day. The balance has been really well captured.
“I’m excited to see where EDM goes from here. I still think it’s one of the areas of music where genuine innovation is still happening, and the level of production possible these days, thanks to recent improvements in software, has really reached a stage where anything is possible.”
