Avro Arvo – Treasure Hunt
(Spotify)

“"Avro Arvo" calls you to find out his treasure in sound. Minimal style, based on Techno and House ideas. On top of all lies the artist's calm voice, which guides you on this magnificent trip. Don't lose time and press play!”

UK born Avro Arvo, is a Melbourne based artist and producer who became inspired by the coastline and beaches of Australia, alongside its way of life. Originally part of indie-pop duo Fool Child, he decided to move towards electronic sounds combined with delicate guitar licks, and funky basslines undertoned by synths. Over the span of 2 years, this became somewhat of a passion project - to create a chilled and inspired soundscape reflective of his new Australian life.

The music is best suited to complimenting your roadtrip - or to relax to by the beach - attributing musical influence from Phoenix, Polo & Pan, Foals and HONNE,

Avro's debut single, 'Thrill Seeker', is out 21st August and depicts a previous relationship that lacked meaning and purpose, to the point in which he had to end it. 'Thrill Seeker' was realised from the epiphanous (this might not actually be a word, but you get it) desire to find a real connection with someone, in contrast to meaningless partying and settling for someone who can only spare a fraction of their week with you.

Meelo – Reflets

Meelo – Reflets
(Video)

“We all have a beat that moves us like spirits through the clouds. It can expose emotions and capture our attention. Ensuring we continue our dace with the mystical realms. This one took us beyond the clouds as we searched for another pert of ourselves. ”

Rising London musician / producer Meelo is poised to announce a brand new release with the arrival of ‘Reflets’, lifted from the forthcoming debut EP ‘Movement 1’ due this April.

Accompanied by a visually stunning choreographed concept video, ‘Reflets’ transcends into a new era, exploring the intricacies of sound, anchored by an emotional, meditative core. Meelo says: “My music explores a deep commitment to the values of introspection, self discovery and healing. We’ve all felt that strange mix of thrill and fear when we’re on the cusp of making a breakthrough, fearing it precisely because it is still in the unknown. Reflet dives into that feeling with a mix of shimmer and depth, unrelenting rhythm.”

When Meelo was well into his career as a touring session player and music therapist, (playing for the likes of Goya Gumbani and Tertia May), he was forced to stop everything on a fateful day when the front wheel of his bike jammed and he broke his arm. Shut away and unable to play he took some time for himself, his production skills and poetry; applying that to his already strong songwriting and compositional abilities he began to build an EP that represented this moment of self-contemplation.

It took another fateful moment to accelerate the project when Meelo met Frankie Mami, international Dj and production engineer master. Sat at the back of a session in Frankie’s studio Meelo slipped in and spun a track he was working on called “Gatto”; Frankie’s ears pricked up, and with a knowing smile the two of them recognised something special. Frankie’s enthusiasm, refined expertise and invaluable guidance propelled the project to new levels and kickstarted a beautiful friendship built on mutual respect and sharing.

Movement 1 is joyous, and at times despairing but loaded with the momentum and power that comes with exploring one’s self. It’s the result of years of the artist trying to find his way, releasing the fears of the past and ultimately finding his voice. Ambitious in his genre-spanning scope and fiercely committed to the redemptive quality of music, Meelo’s story can be heard and felt on every note of his debut EP.

MA/SA – In My Breath

MA/SA – In My Breath
(Video)

“The complexity of the drum kit used here is superb. Rich in texture and deepness, it invigorates us and sends us deeper into the darkness. Bass heavy with heavenly layered vocals that cut through the track like a soft mist above a glass rainforest. Fresh all around. ”

-Nagamag.com

Video features Oak (Okieriete Onaodowan) from the original Hamilton cast.

ARTIST’S QUOTE – MATTHEW SANTOS (MA/SA)
For me this song is about the ending of a long-term relationship and learning how to live with the void of that deeply-rooted bond—and the distractions that we use to not feel the heartache and loss, to avoid looking deep into the mirror and confronting our own mistakes and misgivings. There’s a drawn out process of grieving that happens through avoidance and distraction post breakup. A haunting of mundane things, like her spirit of living sown through my every day dealings. Those things that keep us up at night, the stolen pillow rest swept up in reruns of regret and arresting sadness. Escape seems like the only option. A vicious cycle of turning cheek while the lonely winter groans, running from the cold into the arms of a willing stranger, afloat through the nights on a cloud. Yet there you are again, on the ceiling of my dark room, soaked in dream. You are moonlight and gravity as I fall upward into you thru the quiet night, mourning the restless break of day, knowing that nothing will ever be the same. We are forever changed, and now, you are in my breath.

MA/SA began singing and songwriting when he was a young teenager. He later ventured to Chicago in 2001 to attend Columbia College for music composition and performance, where he soon recorded his first full length album “Change Is Better” (2004) and follow up EP “As a Crow Flies” (2006) at the Attic Studios where he met a young and budding Lupe Fiasco. The two hit it off and ended up creating many songs together, most notably the Grammy nominated smash “Superstar” (2008). In recent years, MA/SA has collaborated with Grammy-winning Daveed Diggs (from Hamilton, Blindspotting, Snowpiercer), Rafael Casal (from Blindspotting, Bad Education, The Good Lord Bird), NGHTMRE, and Saba Pivot. Currently independent, Santos is slated to release two upcoming EP’s and various singles in 2022, while composing for film and TV. Upcoming scoring projects include the feature-length, indie-documentary “Beyond The Trees”, and the short film “Kasama”

Messergeist – Ways (Radio Mix)

“Imagine that your visibility range expands behind the elusive lights outside of your car windows. You hear the roar of the engine and the melodic rhythm of Techno & House that show you the way. You already have everything you need.”

“Представьте, как за ускользающими и сменяющих друг друга огней за окнами вашего автомобиля открывается невидимый ранее горизонт событий. Вы слышите рёв мотора и мелодичный ритм techno & house, которые указывают вам путь. Всё, что вам нужно, у вас уже есть. Осталось только не пропустить свой поворот.”

-Nagamag.com

Swiss melodic techno / progressive house producer Messergeist is back with a dark, powerful yet very melancholic single entitled “Ways”. This radio mix is starting with a long and melodic drop, before being propelled in a fast night-drive traveling through lights on roads that lead to places you’ll probably feel confortable in. Supported by a very unique and trippy video filmed through the highway and avenues of Geneva, Switzerland, this track won’t probably leave you without a good feeling and an urgent need to dance while driving.

John Hayes – “Nowness”
(Spotify)

“Allow your mind to experience inner balance and peace. Feel free floating, direct your thoughts to the spiritual realm and realize the touch with another civilization. This is the beginning of a journey to other worlds with John Hayes.”

“Позвольте вашему сознаниюощутить внутренний покой, баланс и умиротворение. Почувствуйте свободное парение, направьте ваши мысли в духовную сферу и ощутите прикосновение с другой цивилизацией. Это — начало путешествия в иные миры вместе с -John Hayes-.”

-Nagamag.com

Today, Minneapolis multi-instrumentalist and producer John Hayes signs to Nettwerk Records (The Album Leaf, Alaskan Tapes, Neighborhood Libraries) and makes his debut with the label, sharing new single “Nowness.” Known for expansive, atmospheric sounds, his delicate blend of ambient and electronic music has garnered fans around the world including KEXP, BBC, and James Heather’s Soho Radio Show ‘Moving Sounds.’ Listen to “Nowness” on all digital retailers

https://johnhayes.ffm.to/nowness

The roots of the song came about at the start of the pandemic as Hayes was jamming with a friend.

“We were playing around with different arpeggios and different delay effects on my Moog Sub 37,” John reflects. “More just experimenting than anything else... I finally came across something that I quite enjoyed and decided, ‘why not record this?’ For a long time, it just existed as this arpeggio you hear playing throughout the song. I would revisit it here and there but never had any plans to do much. I really enjoyed it existing as just this private little piece that I could revisit here and there. Once the pandemic hit, I had a lot of time on my hands, and I decided to elaborate on it a bit. I started to add layers on my Minilogue [synthesizer] that I though emulated strings. I wanted it to be this blend where you can’t tell exactly what is artificial and what is real. This idea of the artificial world online that we dive into each day and the real world that is right out of our window being blended became something that I started to think about quite a bit. This song started to take on that form as I continued to tinker with it. I wanted there to be a blend where it becomes hard to tell where the synthesizers and the real strings begin and end, all while this arpeggio keeps dancing in the background. The artificial world and real-world meeting in music, and shaking hands."
