Swedish composer and musician Brebu commands the stillness and calm, with the beautifully delicate and purposeful tones of his instrumental work Carved Waves.
Producer
Crafted around a sort of haunting and delicate ambiance, with a consistent drum and bass rhythm that’s familiar but non-intrusive, the track is all at once nostalgic and confidently original.
Stunning production, performance and writing unite beautifully, as Davide Carbone and singer Kate Watts continue to ride the wave of their sensational Drum and Bass single Finding Myself.
From the leading riffs to the gentle vocal front and the easy hi-hat and clap groove consistently guiding the way, Your Nightclub Needs You modestly reflects upon the incomparable euphoria of nightclub escapism, and essentially rebuilds that embrace by way of a surprisingly original, genre-blending composition.
Unsettle and entertain, be original but engaging and effective – provide unrivalled electronic escapism – boxes all finely ticked by the eclectic and bold repertoire of Ad al Maar.
Nina Nevra captures a sublime balance between soulful and impassioned empowerment, and the sheer addictive escapism and bounce of drum and bass. Settle is timeless, nostalgic but fresh – an anthemic gem and perfectly produced to let you truly lose yourself in the sound and intense euphoria of that drop.
Fiercely energising hyper-techno, carefully contrasting breathy and intimate vocals with relentless techno rhythms and old-school synths and samples – akin to the dawn of at-home producers. Lucy Duffner masters the space with confidence and character, for the nostalgic party anthem that is FRITTY BAR.
Digital composition is timeless in many ways, and when the music has this organic, natural and profoundly human feel, it’s all the more important and valuable, when piercing through the noise and artificial electronic design of late.
A non-intrusive but lingering melody and build up, near-euphoric at its musical peak, and even at a rather extensive six minutes in full, the song confidently persuades you to listen more than just once or twice – to lose yourself in the sound all over again; in this softly passionate call-out for connection.
Acoustic roots return to lift up the forever unmistakable vocal stylings and lyrical darkness and depth of 3mind Blight. The iconic indie songwriter collaborates once again with Crimson Violet Blight, this time for a melodic and guitar-led venture through an evocative story of betrayal, denial, disgrace, and desperation.
THE SUN WITHIN provides a near-four-minute dose of inspiring escapism, built around a three-chord piano pattern that rises and falls, evolving intensely, with layers of Sarah’s unmistakable voice and fearlessly poetic lyrics guiding the way.
Unpredictable to the core yet ever impressive for his intricate fusing of vastness and precision – Swiss composer and producer David Ratmoko continues to blur the lines between classical and contemporary electronic genres, with the darkwave depth and gothic etherealism of Andante One.
