Devoted artist and contemplative songwriter NEONITE carves out a lasting space within the modern scene. His five-track EP 2NITE celebrates the unrivalled escapism of dance music in unison with a series of intimate reflections that seek to connect on a profound and moving level.
Producer
Conceptual depth, poetic insights, and a melodic but progressive metal core – Hermetic Sage delivers a multi-faceted new album, brought to life with equal parts contemporary programming and heartfelt intentions.
Introducing a high-octane yet pristine debut from Trance and Techno producer MEK – Despegar is an unmistakable melodic dance tune, with a mighty presence that instantly connects.
From smiling, laughing, and connecting with nature, to embracing the simple pleasures of food and daily life, Don’t Forget is a creatively distinct ode to all that makes life wonderful, and it speaks volumes on behalf of the creative intentions of producer and songwriter Bee-Pet.
Songwriter and producer Edmond Bruneau compiles the very best of his lost singles and feature songs from a colourful career. The album Singles and Jingles is a bright and catchy collection of versatile anthems and singalongs, and highlights the strength of songwriting and design that drives everything from the creative Edmond Bruneau corner.
Fighting to continue the embrace of organic creativity – an electronic track both distinct and nostalgic in its fusion of melody and weight – Kaleel Zibe delivers an outright instrumental beast of a track, for Let’s Get Out Of Here.
We hear fragments of anger, gritty reflections and ideas, but otherwise it’s the music that takes precedence – which is actually a brilliant encapsulation of the very concept at hand. The voice of conscience is quiet, taking a backseat over the stylistic requirements of a mainstream audience. “I sold out… I f*cked up…” These words are nearly silent echoes amidst an otherwise celebratory instrumental wave of music.
Heartfelt piano-led arrangements and passionate vocals guide us through a contemporary collection of tracks – ASchurtz captures a sense of enchantment and vibe, with the likes of Red Lights.
From the two-track release Nyxora, Shivaansh Narendra introduces a wholly immersive modern style, fusing electronic and AI production details across an apocalyptic and evocative story and sentiment, as Neon Gods lights up a distinct and hypnotic new sound.
Norway producer Indieclimb impressively brings together the evocatively ambient and the boldly intense. LEGACY is a fascinating original track, built around the unique pairing of a siren-like riff and atmospheric synths that emotively descend underneath it.
Big beats and euphoric synths, a mass of detail united within a dreamy blanket of escapism – Bryyo kicks off the hypnotic EP Past, with the pristinely ethereal tones and hopeful melodies of Visor.
It’s a devastating ending, but the calm and quiet of the music, the humility and tiredness of the vocal, all counters the impact of this – making it feel like a necessary surrender of sorts, to the unsolvable desperation and ache of searching for someone who can’t be found.
