Stunning electronic dance music and songwriting culminates this season, as the dominating creative corner of Revoizz launches the latest 80s synthwave / Night Drive Remix of the mighty She’s A 10.
Synthwave
The single builds around an atmospheric, natural world aura, and within a fairly modest runtime of less than four minutes, it evolves through layers of dark synths, sci-fi tones, and a totally playful, expressive structure. Think eighties synth-wave with a twist of rising energy, an intricate balance between meditative waves of calm and sudden jolting hits of vibrancy.
Beautiful production – stunning even. Classic euphoria in this finely connected downpour of synths, tones, keys, notes and rhythms. Nikhil Atkuri blends the passion of evocative chords and fragments, with the sheer intensity and comfort of a classic dance beat, for the intoxicating single Nightfall.
The ‘numbing qualities’ of modern work culture, the feelings of disconnection and isolation we all seem to share, of something vital being stripped away from our very existence, all feeds into the intriguing balancing of humanity and robotic, industrial sounds that make up Nervous Systems the album.
Retro electro-pop and synth-wave join forces, for a smooth and gamer-esque array of tones, melodies and vocoder-style effects. Odd Cadet blends the robotic and heartfelt, with This Is Goodbye.
Something initially a little dreamy, calm yet fully-loaded with subtle detail – synths, light rhythms, keys, breathy vocals. Later on we’re confronted by a boldly energising peak. Montana duo BLVDS blend poetic pop songwriting with the rising energy and escapism of electronic dance and pop-punk, for their gentle to anthemic single Two Sides.
Buckle up for a melodic darkwave explosion of nostalgia – Florida-born creative project Last Grasp recaptures the synth-led, ethereal grooves of a simpler era, with the tuneful stylings and immersive, riff-led production of Creature of Your Kind.
Soaring electro-pop and dark-wave dance instrumentals back up impassioned vocal hooks and heartfelt to imaginative sentiments – Joel Christian returns this season with a six-track EP of synth-pop gems.
Blissful production lets the warmth of a synth and bass-led soundscape meet beautifully with the clarity and crisp, evocative tone of a genuine voice – Midnight Recital capture the essence of purposeful, artistic music, with the wonderfully contemplative new single I Wish.
Heavily distorted electronic production unites intense rhythms and euphoric synths, as Noah7even composes a uniquely hypnotic and evocative debut, for PANORAMA.
CYBERSYMPHONY is ultimately a techno and trance driven track, carving out an ever-evolving soundscape while these relentless rhythms and distorted synths maintain an hypnotic loop of contemplation and rising energy. From unexpected instrumental shifts to the industrial-meets-tribal tumble of the drums during the final third, the whole thing feels like an audio movie in and of itself.
New Anxieties poetically and honestly explores the journey into parenthood – the highs and lows, the reflections, the mistakes and excitements – and does so in a beautifully revealing and moving fashion.
