Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?
Der Waldläufer:
Soundscapes somewhere between Ambient | Chillout | Downtempo
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Der Waldläufer:
Since 2010 I released 4 albums a few singles and I appeared on many compilations like Café del Mar, Klassik Lounge Nightflight, Le café abstrait, World Chill - Lounge, Cool off Chillout, Autumn Time, Spring Chill and many more. In my productions always the relaxation of body and mind stays in the focus, in harmony with my inner feelings I tell my impressions with the help of music and paint pictures with the colors of sound. My organic music always should be a counterpoint to hectic, work & stress. You can say, that my music is the result from the finding of inner peace and tranquility. This process is always accompanied by the dialogue between nature and technology, which creatively affects me while composing. I would like to take the people on a trip to soundscapes, where it is possible to slow down the everyday life.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Der Waldläufer:
Music always played a big role in my live, there were a few moments why I started composing music. It began very early with DJing and collecting Vinyl and then in the 90ies I discovered Hip Hop and fell immediately in love with creating sounds, composing music & being creative.
Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?
Der Waldläufer:
Curtis Mayfield "Move on UP"
Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?

Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?
Shoshana Michel:
Neo-classical, contemporary solo piano, new age piano, minimal piano
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Shoshana Michel:
I started music lessons at the age of seven when a door-to-door salesman for a local music studio knocked on my front door. Throughout the years, I've played different genres of music at different venues from ragtime at Knott’s Berry Farm to contemporary solo piano at The Galleria at South Bay in Redondo Beach, California. In 2015, I recorded my first solo piano album, Soul Whispers, which inspired me to start writing my own music. In 2016, I released Dancing on the Wind, my debut album as a composer followed by Prelude to a Dream in 2017, Reflection in 2019 and Impressions in 2020. I'm extremely honored that my music has been featured in several documentaries and has received accolades, nominations and awards.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Shoshana Michel:
I was exposed to classical music through my father and big band era music through my mother, so I was open to listening to different genres of music. As a teenager, I started playing ragtime, became very enamored with the genre and started playing professionally. I believe, that is when my world really opened up to music.
Nagamag:
When you compose, do you compose for yourself or for those that listen to your music?
Shoshana Michel:
I think that it's a little of both. I compose what's in my heart, but I do keep in mind what my listeners may want to hear. Music should be a 'conversation' between the composer and the listener, it should 'speak' to the listener. When I compose from my heart, I believe that it will reach the hearts of my listeners, as well.
Nagamag:

Chronixx, Kabaka Pyramid – Same Prayer
(Spotify)
Chronixx provides a pillar of strength and hope on “Same Prayer,” a benediction that carries a universal message throughout life's ups and downs. Fellow Jamaican lyricist Kabaka Pyramid complements the song with a verse echoing his sentiment. Following “Dela Move,” “Same Prayer” is the second reveal from Chronixx’s upcoming sophomore album Dela Splash, which is slated for release later this year. The Zion I Kings produced track is available now via Soul Circle Music and will feature an accompanying visual next week.
The song rings true with today's tumultuous times, "There’s so much good in the world and still evil a lurk. In the darkness a night, Jah protect I and I from the ones who nuh care about the fact that we share the same air and the blood that we bleed is alike," Chronixx laments in the third verse. The powerful message follows in the chorus, "and when I troddin in the streets today, please Jah Jah never leave my side. And everyday the same prayer I say and I’m saying it one more time. Trodding in the streets I pray Jah Jah beg yuh please, never lef I an I, oh never leave I an I."
Chronixx explains, “Same Prayer is, in part, a prayer for the younger generation to reflect on internally. It’s also a reminder that there is a greater power directing things in the physical space. Instead of looking for solutions in our material lives, we can both reach out to this higher power and look deep within ourselves.”

Mr. Dawzo travels back in time to the ’80s with the instrumental Synthwave Anthem Hypergalactic Overdrive. The right retro vibes coming along with a good synthwave video and is hard to resinst its positive vibes. Timeless!
About the artist:
Mr. Dawzo is a breath of fresh air within the electronic community. The San Diego resident has been crafting a sound rooted mostly in the digital world, with computer generated vocals and Retrowave instrumentation galore. It has been a wild ride for the up-and-coming producer, who has moved across the experimental spectrum of EDM production to nail a style that is all his own while bringing the electronic community back to its roots. Chords that seem ripped from an Atari console are captured with the energy of an early Black Sabbath record. While Mr. Dawzo sticks to his guns, he never limits himself and he’s always seeking out new and innovative sounds.
With the debut of an ambitious new single, Hypergalactic Overdrive, his Synthwave muscles get to flex with boundless potential. An upbeat melody with a tropical undertone, the song feels fresh yet familiar, something Mr. Dawzo has looked to perfect in recent years. Man created everything we utilize in music and the digital soundscape, so the emotional core has always been a point of emphasis for him during this process. Hypergalactic Overdrive builds off his debut five-track EP beautifully, and establishes Mr. Dawzo’s name firmly in the scene for years to come!

DYNAH, a new name, a new pop costume tailored especially for the singer-musician Melody LINHART. Two syllables taken from her actual name in order to make her metamorphosis as smooth as possible and let the magic begin! With these five letters, she becomes a freer version of herself.
Originally from an acoustic background where she played jazz, folk and soul music, Melody Linhart is currently undergoing a new beginning, a blank page – « PAGE BLANCHE » is the title of her first single – and starting a new musical chapter, in French this time, propelled by sometimes minimalist electro pop music. Her style lies at the meeting-point between Clara Luciani and James Blake.
Throughout her collaborations, from Paris to London, through Spain and the Netherlands, Dynah has been adopting a new, more efficient, more strait forward, way of writing. She seeks simplicity: “Songs have to come self-evidently.” Melody Linhart has been refining her touch. Her trademarks are: describing a scene in a song as precisely as if it were a movie, composing as if she were weaving an outfit for a character, including unexpected words in her lyrics such as “chrysalis”, or “koala”, hidden poetry.
In this new playground, Dynah is exhilarated and liberating herself: “Pop music is a good excuse to talk about love and sensuality.” Here, a few notes of synth reveal a woman feeling blue. There, desire springs out through programmed beats. Weaknesses, dreams, pleasure, motherhood, Dynah explores pop as she does her life, confronting her lyrics to electronic sounds.
Added to this vindicated sensitivity, are the fantastic meetings with French and international producers such as: Nicolas Gueguen, Martin Chourrout, Guillaume Martial or Lionnel Buzac, all of whom collaborated to this first EP: DYNAH (Finalistes/Musigamy).
Electro music gives her impulse, the stage will give her wings.

Remember when we were kids and didn’t see color? A song meant to bring everyone together during these tough times of racial tension.
Lyrics:
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
ay ya
I can’t breathe
This a (r)evolution (i)n (o)ur (t)ime everybody’s fighting
change coming, YES!
that’s why it’s an acronym for riot
Everybody has a voice don’t you dare stay silent
if you say nothing you are an accessory to violence
let these words dry the tears of my people who are crying we can bring back hope but not people that are dying
This is what happens when the people you’ve oppressed ask for change in a country that they built but you ignored and deny it
This for Sandra Bland, George Floyd, and every single family police brutality has intervened in and destroyed
couple bad cop couple can’t define all you other boys so every good COP needs to stand up and make noise
Black, white, asain doesn’t matter cause we can’t avoid so let’s all come together join hands and yes get annoyed at people who believe racism makes sense in a country built off minority slave work employed
see nobodies born racist man it’s something you learn
Deep rooted in your brain from the day of your birth
I think it’s time that we repair All of the bridges we’ve burned
And let love out of our hearts onto cheeks we turn
Spread love, show love, lets get rid of this curse,
Don’t wait for anyone to act man you go first
400 years wasted let’s get rid of this hurt cause that’s the only way we’ll ever see peace on earth
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I, I
I can’t breathe
Change is what we need
Cut me open, cut you open Red’s the color every single human beings bleeds,
Let’s come together cops citizens and in between and rally for the rights of everybody in humanity
Black, blue, white, green,
Playing for the seam the team
I’m not MLK but boy that doesn’t mean I Can’t dream
Black lives matter shouldn’t anger you or make you scream all lives matter cause we aren’t treated equally
Remember when we were kids and didn’t see no color and when we played in kindergarten and I called you my brother
Then we grew up and they taught us we should hate on each other even though
We one in the same and we all came from our mothers
I hope y’all understand
Hate is not a trait it was learned man
Equality is the quality we need inside this earth man
Give and receive it’s the karma that you earn man
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I, I
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I, I
I can’t breathe
Maybe the track called Anxiety, but the chill vibes it offers with its nice beats and warm soft voice of Erik Frank was the right theme to relax and groove.
From a small village to the top radio charts, ERIK FRANK has amassed over 100% million streams and is a uniquely talented singer/songwriter.
Nicknamed Melody Genius by Grammy Nominated producer Jayson DeZuzio (Imagine Dragons), and anyone Erik works with, the 22-year-old had humble beginnings.
Born in village of just 200 people, the idea of becoming a star was the very definition of a long shot. Getting out wasn’t easy. Moving from Spain to France, the U.K. and finally landing the U.S., Erik’s formative years and global experience began to permeate his music. His blend of R&B, Pop and Hip Hop is as unique as the countries he’s lived in.
