Lainey Dionne – Skin
(Spotify)

“The first impression you receive with Lainey Dionne on her new single Skin, is the quality and softness of both vocal and music/groove layering. Sensual, elegant and memorable with chorus of saying -Skin- giving you goosebumps, a song where harmonies and qualities are abundant. ”

-Nagamag.com

Skin is about what it feels like to be in a toxic relationship. You are depressed and hiding it, becoming numb, and then being in denial about how toxic this is and you don’t know how to get out.

Lainey Dionne is a Providence based cover artist and singer/songwriter. Her debut record, Can't Refuse - EP, was released in 2016 and is available on iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming services. She writes the "sort of music that immediately makes you forget that you left a burning oven on, or should be doing something productive. Music that will make you forget about everything else and just listen" (Verge Media). Can't Refuse- EP is an honest and vulnerable look at love and life through a twenty-something singer/songwriters eyes.

Her debut album was featured on HomeBru'd, a segment for New England's leading alternative radio station, WBRU. In 2018, Lainey was nominated for Best Solo/Acoustic Act, Best Americana Act, and Best College Act at the Worcester Music Awards, along with Best Breakthrough Act at Rhode Island's famed, Motif Music Awards. She is also a 2016 Semi Finalist for the International Songwriting Competition. Laineys songs "Can't Refuse" and "Even If" have been featured in the Berklee Singer/Songwriter Showcase '14 and an independent film from Harvard University. As a performing artist, Lainey has been invited to play at famed music venues such as The Strand, regional festivals such as The Big E, PVDFest and the Newport Film Festival, private events & benefit concerts, and over 60 venues in Rhode Island. Her band toured the East Coast in the summer of 2017 debuting new material along with her EP. Originally from Smithfield, RI, she has been studying the piano since the age of six, and along the way, has picked up several other instruments including violin, ukulele, harmonica, mandolin, dulcimer, cajon, and guitar. Lainey provides private lessons of vocals and the instruments she plays at True Music Studios.

She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music in 2015, receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Music Business with a minor in Music Production and Engineering. While attending, she had the pleasure of learning from industry professionals such as Grammy Award winning producer, Jason Stokes and Grammy-nominated hit songwriter, producer, and Warner Brothers Records executive, Kara DioGuardi. She was also accepted into Warner/Chappell Publishing Group executive, Judy Stakee's Songwriting Retreat in France and is currently working with a team in Nashville for her sophomore album. Lainey's music is inspired by the lyrics and compositions of Gabrielle Aplin, Vance Joy, and The Lumineers. From her notable education and musical inspirations, Lainey has acquired her own unique sense of artistry.

Robert Connely Farr
Interview


Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Robert Connely Farr:
americana, southern rock, indie rock, contemporary blues, country blues, juke joint blues


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Robert Connely Farr:
I studied architecture at Auburn University, spending a few years at the nonprofit student run design build Rural Studio working on the Musicman House and the Hale Country Animal Shelter. Since 2017, I've been mentored in the Bentonia Style of the Delta Blues by Jimmy “Duck” Holmes. I grew up in Bolton, Mississippi, a small town just south of the Delta where Charley Patton and Sam Chatmon are from. I released "Dirty South Blues" in 2019 - then I got cancer and had to have an emergency surgery, during which time me and the boys had a few sessions in Vancouver at Hipposonic Studios (Little Mountain Studio's for you music novices - some of my favorite rock and roll albums were recorded there!) to lay down "Country Supper". This year we also release "Gasoline" (B-Sides & Rarities) & "Live In EastVan"


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Robert Connely Farr:
yeah - I grew up listening to rock n roll - I had every Kiss album, GNR, Ratt, Crue, ACDC - I loved it all. Music just hit a spot in me that I can't really explain. It was personal, mine - no-one could tell me what to like - in fact I couldn't help what I liked - that was part of the excitement & it still is! Anyway, I remember being around 12, out in the country in the house where my Papaw grew up north of Bolton - making a blood pact in writing (that we still have) with my little brother & cousin that as soon as we all got old enough, we were heading to Los Angeles to being in a band. I guess I can't help but wonder of on a fundamental level this started it all - you know, that idea of putting the energy out there to make something happen...


Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Robert Connely Farr:
Purple Mountains "Nights That Won’t Happen"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?

Robert Connely Farr:
R.L. Boyce "I DONT NEED A WOMAN" - Bentonia Blues Festival

In Void
Interview

Renault to the left & Peugeot to the right


Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

In Void:
Neo-classical mainly. Also punk rock, opera and anything with accordians.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

In Void:
Renault: I was a modern artist in the truest sense of the word. Some paint with a brush, others with a pallet knife or sponge, I, well...I paint with myself, if you get my drift. I dip my manly member in paint and let my passion be my guide. I dazzled the tourists for years on the streets of Mont Martre, singing opera arias all the while and even playing accordian while painting with my "all natural brush". It would seem that some of my female admirers were a bit too dazzled however, and a jealous husband threw me into the Seine, and when I crawled out, I saw the wretched face of Peugeot. From that moment on, we were inseparable.
Peugeot: I was the lead singer of a French punk band called "The Flaming Maggots" or "Les Asticots Enflammes" for a few years. We had a couple hit songs-maybe you've heard "Merde, merde merde!" or "Ton cul est tros grand! Va t'en, va t'en!". Then, I woke up one morning, hungover in a back alley of Paris and vomited on the person next to me, who turned out to be Renault, et voila, the rest is history.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

In Void:
Renault: I saw Mozart's "Don Giovanni" as a small garcon, and thought, "mon dieu, I want to grow up to be such a man! So many conquests, and set to such lovely music."
Peugeot: My dearly departed mother was a Sex Pistols groupie and so I heard their fine, skillful and passionate music every day in utero. I have sought to emulate them in thought, word and deed ever since. To this day, I wake up at 1pm every day to their masterpiece, "Frigging in the Rigging".


Nagamag:
Favorite book?

In Void:
Renault: Les Miserables, L'Etranger, Lolita, O Calcutta
Peugeot: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish


Nagamag:
Best shag ever?

In Void:
Peugeot: Brigitte Bardot or Queen Elizabeth. Too close to call.
Renault: Lady Gaga, hands down.


Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

In Void:
Mozart (This is Renault's pick of the week, from his favorite opera, Don Giovanni. In this aria, the servant, Leporello lists his master Don Giovanni's thousands of other conquests in an effort to "console" a woman whose heart he has just broken. The piece is very near and dear to Renault's heart, for obvious reasons.) Madamina, il Catalogo


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?

In Void:
Sex Pistols Anarchy in the UK

Pretty Pink – Come Back
(Spotify)

“Pretty Pink with their single Come Back under Anjunabeats imprint delivering stunning sound quality, beautiful trance arp harmonies, and heartwarming vocals. A track that tease your ears as a feather and invites sound freaks to explore the mixing qualities here.”

-Nagamag.com

German producer Pretty Pink presents her debut single on Anjunabeats, ‘Come Back’.

Pre-lockdown, Pretty Pink was a sought-after name in the international club scene, known for official remixes of Armin van Buuren and Mr Probz as well as an underground edit of Daft Punk ‘Get Lucky’. She also owns and curates her label Wanderlust, as well as the label, podcast and concept live show Deep Woods, which has hosted the likes of Lost Frequencies, Milkwish, AKA AKA and more.

Produced during lockdown, ‘Come Back’ was debuted on her Deep Woods radio show and was a standout moment in her #AnjunaUnlocked set earlier this summer.

https://www.facebook.com/prettypinkmusic

Risen from the deep & dark woods of the Harz in Germany, Pretty Pink made her way through the steaming and raging international club zone to manifest her belief into the most intimate basement raves and the biggest festival stages – ultimately settling into an exclusive group of DJs that have the skill to work both levels of the scene. Her unique performances cultivated a great following across Europe and continue to broaden the horizons of dance music. Pretty Pink never shies away from a challenge as she continues to grow and evolve in her career and in her sound.

Through a regular stream of high quality mixes in her radio show ‘DEEP WOODS’ she has begun to turn heads in underground circles. Within the span of two years, it landed on 30 leading radio slots worldwide and reached 1 million streams via her socials. ‘DEEP WOODS’ consists of DEEP SENSATION and KLING KLANG, Pretty Pink’s self-branded residency and well known event series that have attracted over 8,000 festival guests. After playing alongside respectable tastemakers at a myriad of revered venues in her homeland – Nature One, Sonne Mond Sterne, Airbeat One, New Horizon, World Club Dome and more – her loyal fanbase and bookings began to skyrocket. Pretty Pink has garnered a devoted fan base across the globe through her diverse productions, radioshow and stirring live shows, which launch listeners on an unforgettable musical journey. On stage she is known for her galvanizing stage performances as she continues to impress crowds with her dynamic natural ease, serenity and expertise.

Shifting her focus toward production, Pretty Pink has amply proved her serious talent in the studio as well as behind the decks. Whilst Pretty Pinks DJ sets are very energetic, she also manifests her wandering soul on the producer side. Pretty’s own music has provided her with the chance to reveal a kinetic combination of dark, pulsating house and tech-house, driven beats, and natural energetic melodic compositions paired often with her own vocals. Pretty Pink had her recording debut in 2013 with an unforgettable edit of Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’, which demanded the attention of the scene with massive national and international support. With her clearly uncanny ability to create instantly astounding records she extended with ‘GUNFIRE’ her follow-up EP on Suara, which climbed to #2 on Beatport Deep House Chart of 2016. Pretty Pink possess a long list of high conceptual tracks like RUN, MY KICK, FLURAMA, TRICK, CHANGE on captivating sounding labels like Suara, Armada Deep, Sony, Warner, and Universal. Forming tracks to uncommercial club anthems was her mission, which allowed her unique signature sound to make remixes for Armin van Buuren, Lost Frequencies and also for 90’s tastemakers. Gracing the pages of notable electronic publications such as DJ Mag Mexico, EARMILK, Magnetic Magazine and more, Pretty Pink is quickly becoming one to watch on the fronts of the electronic scene.

Things aren’t slowing down anytime soon as Pretty Pink’s most recent single ‘PURE’ topped the Beatport charts for over six weeks at #3 on Progressive House. The single has even caught the ear of uber tastemakers such as CamelPhat, Lane 8, Josh Butler, Monkey Safari and more who have all featured the single in their sets. On a hunt to envelop and solidify her sound, she jump-started her own record label, Wanderlust Music.

For now, with her upcoming releases, studio sessions, ongoing radio show to residencial performances, record label and a packed tour diary, Pretty’s showing signs of becoming a unique individual artist. Pretty Pink blends a tasteful sound with a twist of madness that elevates the crowd to new heights. With years of experience under her belt, the multi-talented workaholic has created a brand built to last. She will stop at nothing to continue cultivating and developing her sound. Time may pass and trends will fade, but the Pretty Pink’s sound will never cease to impress. Her massive accomplishments only mark the beginning of her future conquests.

Mario Verandi – Small Wings Behind
(Video)

“Mario Verandi composed a truly rich in harmonies story. Notes gently shimmer in the air, as if the raindrops play on the railing of a balcony. Yet somewhere far away, where clouds on sky are travelling quick you listen a lighting. ”

“Mario Verandi создал поистине пространственную музыку. Ноты мягко переливаются в воздухе, будто капли дождя играют на перилах веранды. И где то вдали, там где плывут по небу тучи слышится легкая тревога.”

This track features delicate impressionistic piano melodies that flow over distinct electronic/ambient textures.
