Mike Vallas – Train (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Pop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“Mixing beats with a beautiful melody, which plunge you into feelings of freedom and adventure. Picturing ideally the moment of staring outside the window of our car during travelling. You can breathe in this the smell of summer and romance!”

“Смешивая биты с прекрасной мелодией мы окунаемся в чувства свободы и приключений. Идеальная картина за окном проезжающего автомобиля в котором мы путешествуем. Можно вдохнуть этот запах лета и романтики!”

Off the back of recent hit singles like “Take A Pill” and “The Other Side” the Austrian 'TikTok-Millionaire' Mike Vallas is returning to grace the airwaves with a new, highly infectious single. His latest track, entitled “Train”, written & produced by himself and mixed and mastered by renowned sound engineer Nikodem Milewski (Felix Jaehn, Robin Schulz, Sam Smith) is a curious song which blends love-sick lyrics with a spirit of adventure and an ultra-uplifting beat - the perfect antidote to an autumn we’ll mostly experience indoors and away from our loved ones (for obvious reasons).

However you want to interpret this mysterious song, it’s hard not to enjoy Vallas’ expressive storytelling and larger than life stage persona. His talents have gathered him more than 1.1 Million TikTok followers, 220k on Instagram and over 150k monthly listeners on streaming platforms. His last single “The Other Side” reached top 40 airplay in Austria and was placed in more than 20 renowned international playlists. With "The Other Side" and now "Train", Vallas' ability to craft melodies that lodge themselves in your brain is undeniable and we're sure you'll be humming them in no time.

Green Valdener – Sleep Walking (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Blogwave, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , , |

“Green Valdener and jaayns invite us into a -Sleep Walking- under the Sunday Choruses imprint, a gentely soulful pop chill which flows dreamy.”

-Nagamag.com

Sleep Walking is the second collaboration with Green Valdener for UK alternative artist Jaayns and follows their 2017 collaboration The Wrong Ones. Set within an ambient soundscape, this new collaboration explores the space of unconsciously being aware of how our life impacts on the world around us and how we are being unconsciously impacted by other people decisions and actions every day in return. Is it easier to stay asleep than put off dealing with the consequences of our actions?

Green Valdeners production is dreamy dark and epically chilled with a driving force which never quite provides the listener with resolution as it builds, pulls and falls away, yet is deeply pleasant to listen to. With a signature style that references back to their 2017 collaboration ‘The Wrong Ones’ this is a much more developed sound from Valdener.

Moncrieff – AMERICA (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Best of 2020, Pop, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“The beginning of the song captivates us with a familiar melody. Oh yes, this is America! You get up and don't move quickly to the beat. These vibrations are smooth, but they won't make you sleep! Spreads the fun until the morning! Moncrieff knows a lot how to put is in a party with his new single!”

2020 has been a huge year for Moncrieff, and has seen him featured on a host of 2020 hot lists (2FM ‘Rising Artist of 2020’, Goldenplec ‘Plec Pics’ for 2020 and named as one of Her.ie’s ‘Ones To Watch’ for 2020 amongst them). Now he is set to release his hotly anticipated new single ‘AMERICA’ on the 30 October 2020, as well as announcing the release of his second EP ‘The Class of 2020’, which is out on the 27 November 2020.

‘AMERICA’ is a satirical social commentary on the big brother of the world disguised as a tik tok friendly viral internet urban pop banger.On the surface, ‘AMERICA’ has no other initial motive other than to make you move and sing along - however the lyrics when read tell a different story. Under the surface of the upbeat production the song’s lyrics hit a deeper note that comments on some of the absurdities of American culture, centred around consumerism and materialism. “We spend money we don't have on things we don't need to impress people we don't like.”

Speaking about the EP, Moncrieff says: “I had planned to release my second EP earlier this year but I felt after all the world kind of came to a standstill that maybe I should hold off. Nobody had a clue what was happening and the music didn’t feel fully right for the time. Then I realised these are the times that I had actually always dreamt about writing songs for and being able to make music that had a voice in this bizarre time we’re in.”

Moncrieff’s debut body of work ‘The Early Hurts’ EP featured lead track ‘Like I Do’, this debut radio single (released in Sept 2019) received extensive airplay across national radio racking up nearly 12 million audience impressions and 5 million streams. The success of the single and EP led to Moncrieff selling out his first headline show in Dublin in less than 3 hours. His growing reputation also landed support slots touring with headline Irish acts Picture This and Walking on Cars.

Having spent most of early 2020 in the solitude of his friend and co-producer Toby Scott’s home studio in Brighton, what has resulted is a collection of songs free and unconfined by genre that capture the zeitgeist of an ever changing musical and cultural landscape. With the current state of world affairs in turmoil, this new chapter sees Moncrieff explore his role and place as a young person transitioning into adulthood in a world that seems to be getting crazier by the day.

‘AMERICA' the brand new single from Moncrieff is out on the 30 October 2020 across all streaming platforms. ‘The Class of 2020’ EP is out on the 27 November 2020.

Luca Bluefire – Forgotten Heroes (Spotify)

“Luca Bluefire and Courtney Waldron deliver us an ambient neoclassical vocal theme with their latest signgle - Forgotten Heroes- under Long Gone Daya imprint. A dreamt emotive story which tickles your ear like a feather thanks to wonderful mix it offers. ”

-Nagamag.com

Humanity's expansion and development is created by those who dare, those who
have the courage to go one step further, and show what is possible to the others.
But what about those who do so and fail or - even worse - die?
Are they a part of humanity's progress? Will they be remembered in history,
and from those who will benefit from their courage and their actions?

"Forgotten Heroes" is inspired by the great number of applicants to the project
"Mars One", a one-way ticket to Mars with no possibility of coming back.
People willing to leave their planet of origin to explore wider spaces,
even if that means a certain death in the unknown.
https://www.instagram.com/lucabluefire

LYRICS:

And you have waited for the stars
All our hopes they where out there
And you walked among satellites
Looking for something you couldn’t find

Black Holes are Here
Empty Spaces and Lost Souls
Black Hole, I’m here
Coming closer, drowning into

I can see the earth that spins away
while I inhale my last breath
do all forgotten heroes
away from home, die alone?

And all of what’s out there
Is hidden in here
Black Hole, I’m here
Coming closer, diving into

A meditative, contemporary classical piece. Lotus Bird was inspired by playing piano whilst looking out the widow at a bird flying across the morning sky just as the sun was rising. I wanted to capture the beauty of that moment along with its healing transformative power.

Becca Roth is an alternative folk singer/songwriter originally from a small town outside of Philadelphia, PA. Her music stems mostly from a vulnerable place of self-discovery, and spiritual exploration of relationships. Roth grew up in a conservative Mennonite and Christian environment and has always used music as an outlet to express her questioning beliefs, deep emotions, and personal life journey. She best describes herself as a girl-with-guitar, and writes most of her songs alone in her bedroom. In 2014 she became a graduate of Berklee College of Music with a degree in Songwriting. After spending 4 years of school in Boston, MA, she followed her musical community to Los Angeles, California, where she has resided for the past 6 years developing her artistry, recording music, and playing shows.

The track has a more indie-folk style as opposed to her earlier work, "Unstable EP" which featured a full band and more raw production. Roth is on the verge of releasing a new project in the near future which is a current representation of her artistry and inner-world.
