Parlour Magic – Ville Rose
(Spotify)

“Parlour Magic with his new synthpop single -Ville Rose- under Lucky Cat Studios imprints, explores under a minimalistic layering way the retro harmonies we all love, through sweet melodic lines. ”

-Nagamag.com

"Ville Rose" is the new single from Parlour Magic, a new vintage synthpop project from NYC-based producer, media artist, and composer Luc Bokor-Smith (1995).

Parlour Magic's debut album, The Fluid Neon Origami Trick, will be released on December 4th, 2020. Origami was recorded in Las Vegas, Nevada in early 2020 – prior to the end of the world as we knew it – and mixed by Fab DuPont at Flux Studios in New York, NY.

The Fluid Neon Origami Trick was recorded using almost exclusively analog synthesizers, including the fabled Yamaha CS-80, Oberheim OB-XA, Roland Juno-60, and the Eminent Solina String Ensemble, among countless others.

Since graduating from Brown University with a BA in Music in 2018, Bokor-Smith has created several large-scale live multimedia installations, which are available to view at www.luc.fm, while also working as a producer and engineer in New York City.

Green Valdener – Sleep Walking
(Spotify)

“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.

Mart Avi – Feather
(Video)

“With his tickling sound minimalism, like a Feather teasing your ears, and delightful dreaming warm vocals spreading around like rain drops in the leaves, Mart Avi creates a top dream pop song showcasing his sound design skills. In top of all that this wonderful video captures perfect the overall floating atmosphere here.”

-Nagamag.com

Bouncing through filters of sultry ambient pop and futuristic funk, Estonian avant-pop auteur and electronic producer Mart Avi floats into the limelight with new single ‘Feather’, taken from his forthcoming LP “Vega Never Sets”.

Combining a sense of wonder with a sensual sheen, ‘Feather’ seems to emerge from a soaring daydream. Yet Mart Avi is in his most alert state here as he dissolves syncopated beats, post-digital timbres and short-circuited croons into a lighter-than-air now-pop ballad. “Like a sheet of paper folded into a cylinder holds up to dozens of kilograms, and animated characters defy gravity, ‘Feather’ presents its physique in a gentle manner,” he says.

Accompanying the main track are two alternative versions with warped phasing as well as “an ocular version” – that is, a video made using the game creation system ‘Dreams’ on PlayStation 4. Created by Avi and Ivar Murd, the visual saturates the single’s elusive charge with surrealist horizons, serene vistas, and encounters with Jungian dream figures.

Avi has been busy creating more hyperkinetic realms for us to drift into, just like a feather. The single is a taster of what can be expected when the full LP “Vega Never Sets” lands on 27th November via Porridge Bullet.

Avant-pop auteur and electronic music producer Mart Avi has carved an “outernational” musical space for himself – something akin to a sonic spider spinning puzzles on the World Wide Web with each new project. His highly acclaimed work includes both solo and band albums as well as some weirdly wonderful pop tunes in collaboration with Ajukaja, the reverend of Estonia’s adventurous underground. His records have been awarded with the Best Electronic Album and Album of the Year critics wins in his homeland whilst his live performances have been acknowledged for their theatricality and inventiveness.

“Unlike with a lot of conceptronica, Mart Avi’s thoughtful thoughts don’t get in the way of the seduction effect.“ – Simon Reynolds

Cuushe – Magic [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
(Video)

“Magic by Cuushe is a dreamy chillwave/pop song with sensual soulful vocals and beautiful melodic lines, delivering small rain drops of nostalgia around through a heartwarming sound design which gives a softness tickling to ears as a fresh fluffy pillow does.”

-Nagamag.com

Following the big and bright return single “Hold Half”, today Cuushe shares “Magic”, the second single from WAKEN. The track features Mayuko’s distinct whispering vocals flowing in and out of the night drive-style electronic melodies. The “Magic” video is directed by Tao Tajima with animation from Yoko Kuno.

Mayuko Hitotsuyanagi puts clear outlines on her music with upcoming album WAKEN — a collection of vital, dream-pop centric beats and analog soundscapes woven with her newly freed voice, set for a November 20th release via FLAU. It moves through flamboyant analog synthesizers that seem to communicate with the universe, distorted guitars and mille-feuille-layered choruses. Wildly struck snares and beats recall the rave sounds of the ’90s, energetic, carefree.

-Nagamag.com

“In April we escaped the lockdown for a few days and rented a cabin overlooking the forest in Idyllwild, CA. Every morning a fog would blanket the valley below. It was beautiful. On the final morning I wrote this synthwave chillout track to capture the emotion I felt on those cold mornings taking in the sunrise.”

About the artist:

Superheart – LILO
(Spotify)

“Superheart is releasing his brand new single Lilo that marks the dreamy, indie-pop music sphere. Beautifully produced and layered with authentic vocals accompanied by indie-rock percussions and synths composes a form of touching and anthemic music piece”

-Nagamag.com

UK producer, singer/songwriter Superheart is a master of ambient sound. In his new upcoming single "LILO" Superheart brings striking beauty to the world in the form of touching, poignant, and anthemic music.

Penning the human experience and pairing it with emotionally charged soundscapes, the UK talent has become a trailblazer in the dreamy, indie-pop music sphere. Continuing to bring innovative and passionate music to the table, "LILO" is Superheart's newest offering.

With numerous highly successful releases under his belt- including hit singles "Count On Me," "Talk About It," and "World's on Fire," which landed itself on New Music Friday - along with praise from notable publications including Flaunt Magazine, The 405, and many others, Superheart continues to shine in the indie sphere.

Soaring vocals in "LILO" marks new heights for the talented Superheart. Beautifully produced, layered vocals are accompanied by indie-rock percussion (recorded with Eric Jacowitz remotely during lockdown) and 80's synths that draw you in to a dream-pop meets indie-rock time warp. "LILO was the first song I wrote after signing with Akira Records," he shares. "I remember I was having a meeting at Soho House watching these people lying around in the pool in the middle of the day and thinking... who are these people?"

"The record deal gave me a huge feeling of confidence and I think the epic nature of the track reflects how I was feeling at the time, I wanted to make something massive that could be played in a stadium or sound huge at a festival."

"Layered with ambient touches that would make anyone excited to stay in bed a little longer or scurry along to get ready for a night out." - Flaunt Magazine

""There's power in subtlety. With 'After Midnight', Superheart carefully curates the layers so as not to overwhelm." - The 405

"His airy, indie pop sound creates an uplifting, euphoric vibe throughout and will surely put anyone in a great mood while listening." - This Song is Sick

Superheart's music feels like the warmth of being wrapped in a blanket and reminiscing on the best times of your life. With his knack for creating music that envelops you, taking you out of your own world into a place infinitely better and with that, we hope this music brings a little bit of solace.

DEADLIFE – Her Broken Smile (feat. Tessa Hedrick) | Visualizer |
(Video)

“Through stunning visuals, DEADLIFE with his new song together with Tessa Hedrick hypnotize us into his dark epic synthwave bassline and the heartwarming vocals of Tessa gives a memorable blend. Partly goes melancholic yet steps also in darker places through its lush harmonies. ”

-Nagamag.com

Hailing from Manchester, UK, DEADLIFE is set to confirm his status as one of the most vital artists in the burgeoning darksynth scene with an eighth full length album this November. Before that, though, the first single ‘Her Broken Smile’ offers a magic glimpse into what to expect from this assured studio wizard. The stunning new single follows acclaimed past releases including ‘Singularity’ which crashed into the Billboard Electronic Album Sales Chart at #12, as well as hitting the iTunes chart in 2020. The new single again explores a darker niche within the wider synthwave scene, and is inspired by cyberpunk imagery, 80s sci-fi films and turn of the millennium computer game soundtracks. Download / stream here: https://deadlife.lnk.to/HerBrokenSmile

DEADLIFE a.k.a. Ed Hawx has proven to be a hugely prolific artist over the last few years. Across seven full length albums, he has helped to drive the synthwave scene forwards with a particular penchant for the shadowy end of the spectrum that has become known as darksynth. The former drummer is a self-taught producer with a real mastery of his machines and software, which has seen him become one of the most exciting and influential names in the scene. Some try to make comparisons to leading artists like Sebastian, Com Truise, and Kavinsky, but DEADLIFE goes his own way, building on the traditions of Vangelis, Underworld and Daft Punk and taking them far into the future with his own sense of style. The sound of DEADLIFE appeals to anyone who loves dark melodies and hard-hitting electronic beats.

DEADLIFE’s music has always appeared on NewRetroWave, the leading label and YouTube channel for the synthwave scene. Since day one, NewRetroWave has championed the retro synth-driven sound and every significant artist in the scene has released on the label at some point. It continues to expand and drive the fast-growing genre’s evolution through a skillful A&R process and now entertains over 1 million loyal followers on YouTube.

The formidable new single ‘Her Broken Smile’ is DEADLIFE’s homage to an 80’s power ballad featuring singer Tessa Hedrick, a well-regarded metal vocalist who hails from Nevada. Her vocals are angelic here as they float way up top above a jagged synth bass and darkly emotive atmosphere. The breakdown allows the purity of Hedrick’s voice to shine through, off-set by the pixelated melodies and crashing, maximal beats. The whole track is expertly produced and captures a sense of emotional turmoil that everyone can relate to.

Next single ‘Drift’ is to follow on October 23rd before the full album in November 20th, and already this single suggests DEADLIFE is in the form of his life.
