The sheer joy of a summer anthem rooted in the glory and unity of football celebration – Tartan Army ’24 bring back the high-octane beauty and melodic appeal of 90’s dance, for their musical ode to supporting Scotland in this year’s UEFA Championship.
EDM
The pop-inspired hook keeps things poetic and personal, simple and easy to sing along to, and meanwhile the heavier, perhaps dirtier sounding bass, beat and synth combo balances things out with the alternative underground energy that consistently draws a crowd.
Drum and Bass has been through a hellish realm of copycat construction over the decades. The genre peaked back in the 2000s, and though it never lost its appeal within the rave and club scenes, the original essence of creativity seemed to lose its grip in favour of simple energy and beat repeats.
Enter Austrian producer dnbmoo, with one of the most intoxicating and refreshingly humble original drum and bass releases in quite some time.
Raising the pace distinctly since her last few solo releases, the ever-recognisable vocalist and pop powerhouse Veronica Largiu delivers an anthemic EDM single – one that fuses elements of disco and modern dance with her iconic and mighty vocal style.
The welcomed intertwining of ambient design with divine vocals and a steady house groove – VortexOvVision surprises and engages, with Romance.
Introducing a revitalizing dance anthem of pristinely crafted synths, keys, vocals, bass and beats, the iconic indie songwriter Gary Louca (Deltiimo) joins forces with Veronica Largiu, for the compelling story and sensational floor-filler Hypersonic.
“I’m a deep-end sort of person, so I don’t think I can really be any other way. And I think art, music especially, can have such a intense impact on us.”
Performatively nostalgic, the song has the anthemic energy and production quality of a nineties power ballad, elevated all the more so by the equally retro dance design of the soundscape. The energy builds, and both Veronica’s delivery and the musical set-up creatively reinforce that evolution.
One for the divine electronic audio fans – producer and artist NAO crafts with an impressive balancing of emotion and professional precision.
Awake is the latest single to emerge, a finely-built soundscape of softly euphoric synths, deep house warmth, and delicate, lighter contrasting vocals.
“When it comes to genres, I haven’t quite found where I land in my style, I typically tell people it is indie electronic but I also sing and play guitar and different instruments and blend them all together with a lot of electronic textures and elements.”
Timeless disco and modern dance unite for this funk-kissed ode to romantic attraction. ELLA delivers a floor-filler with more than a few creative twists of appeal, for LUKA.
Creatively eclectic to its core, the new album from Pennsylvania songwriter Monti Korbelle encapsulates freedom of play and curiosity of concept.
