AbbySage – Pool Party
(Spotify)

“Such tracks have their own unique atmosphere, the melody of which serves as a kind of fall in a rabbit hole. There, in behind the zerkalier, Alice from the country of miracles, mystical vocals -Abbysage and hypnotic rhythm-section await you. Do you want to return?” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Подобные треки обладают своей уникальной атмосферой, мелодия которой служит своеобразным падением в кроличью нору. Там, в зазеркалье вас ожидает Алиса из страны чудес, мистический вокал -AbbySage- и гипнотическая ритм-секция. Захотите ли вы вернуться?”

LA via Toronto singer/songwriter Abby Sage shares her new single "Pool Party." Known for making noir indie with tinges of old Hollywood grandeur, the track showcases Abby's delicate lyrics and blasé vocal delivery atop a sultry guitar led arrangement. Arriving with an artful video, it's another look into an artist who has already gained support from areas such as DIY, Clash, American Songwriter and more. Speaking on the song, Abby states:

"Pool Party is a metaphor for kids not being prepared for the world. “Pool party kids can’t swim, they ask nobody just sink to the bottom and think (off the deep end)” Kids are dealt a tough hand, having such a vast amount of information at their fingertips with nobody to guide them or explain what it all means. They have to drown to learn."

Finding the sweet spot between alt-R&B and pop, Nykki co-wrote ‘Right Place Wrong Guy’ with producer John Foyle, known for his work with Mae Muller and Lola Young and St£fan – aka Stefan Abingdon – whose major pop cuts include, among others, a single for Selena Gomez. The swaggering earworm blooms over sludgy, savage basslines, jittery swarms of drum programming, with plenty of room to play around with texture and Nykki’s layered vocals. Piercing and empowering lyrics see Nykki oozing confidence while reflecting on a relationship destined to fail.

“You can pretty much already see its end and you are finally being honest with yourself, which can be empowering,” explains Nykki, talking about the meaning behind the song. “I naturally always want to see the best in every situation. This is about that time when I just finally admitted it’s not gonna work and that’s also okay. I can only do serious relationships, that’s just how I’m built, so sorry not sorry to every guy who just wants to have fun!”

Diving deeper into the writing and production process Nykki adds; “I wanted to write something darker and a bit sexy. We started writing the lyrics around a few ideas I had in my phone. The song’s title started as a joke. I said ‘I think it was a right place wrong time situation’ and John said ‘yeah more like wrong guy’, and that’s how it happend. I wanted to make sure this was a savage song, not sad, but very powerful and almost making fun of the situation”.

Songwriting has been a life saving tool for Nykki, at the high of the pandemic she connected with producers and co-writers all over the world, these transatlantic online sessions resulted in last year’s single ‘Me Over You’ written with Salt Ashes’ collaborators, British writing and production duo The Radiators, which has seen support from fashion and music publications such as Metal Magazine and Mundane Magazine, among others.

“Showing the extent of her range with every release”, as written by Wonderland Magazine for their ‘New Noise’ feature, Nykki has rolled out a string of bops which marked her as a newcomer to watch. Debut single ‘No Cry’ catapulted the Czech-born artist into the international pop world, with Billboard praising her “commanding vocals” and giving their seal of approval to her debut video, which has now clocked up over 1 million YouTube plays, since premiering on the world’s most influential music media brand. Whilst the single’s remix by Leon Lour peaked in the UK Commercial Pop Top 30 Club Charts at number 13. In her follow up single ‘Lost My Mind’, Nykki showed her good girl turned bad persona through the convincing acted scenes and dynamic choreographed shots of the track’s video, which has now reached nearly 1.5 million YouTube views. Eloquently acclaimed by Rollacoaster Magazine for her “emotionally tinged, energetic pop songs that boast undeniably catchy hooks,” Nykki graced the pages of the magazine’s latest Spring/Summer issue, before going back into the studio. While the stripped down versions of her EDM-laced pop songs have been praised for their “glossy dynamics” by one of the world’s foremost authority on pop music authority on pop music Popdust.

With ‘Right Place Wrong Guy’ Nykki claims her artistic space, showing confidence stepping into new musical terrains, and the ability to turn any personal life story into a captivating song.

Trauma Cat – Popcorn Machine
(Spotify)

“The track that will help you turn off your brain, put it on the shelf and relax with your whole soul and body. Positive, bright, slightly surreal and phantasmagoric music in the Indie Rock genre, capable of throwing you out of reality and entertained as never before!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Трек, который поможет вам выключить ваш мозг, положить его на полку и отдохнуть всей душой и телом. Позитивная, яркая, немного ирреальная и фантасмагорическая музыка в жанре Indie Rock, способная выкинуть вас из реальности и развлечь как никогда ранее! ”

-Nagamag.com

Meet Trauma Cat, an experimental indie rock trio with a penchant for a feel-good powerpop hook. In “Popcorn Machine,” Trauma Cat reflect on life, death, love, and the pursuit of paradise—all set against the backdrop of a crowded movie theater. Tongue-in-cheek existentialism meets rocking verses and jangly, uplifting choruses for a theatrical final product not unlike such offbeat current art pop acts as Superorganism, Wet Leg, and Tune-Yards, infused with the spirit of classic bands like Oingo Boingo and Jellyfish.

Golden Features – Touch (feat. Rromarin)

Golden Features – Touch (feat. Rromarin)
(Spotify)

“The magnificent leading female vocals, which is beautifully emphasized by the male backing, which is why there is a feeling of dialogue between two halves of one heart. The Future Bass rhythm is capable of rocking even the coldest phlegmatics and misanthropes.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Великолепный лидирующий женский вокал, который красиво подчёркнут мужским бэк-вокалом, отчего возникает ощущение диалога двух половинок одного сердца. Ритм Future Bass способен раскачать даже самых холодных флегматиков и мизантропов.”

-Nagamag.com

The wait is over! Acclaimed Australian electronic producer Golden Features today makes his highly anticipated return with his rousing new single “Touch” featuring Rromarin.

Golden Features has turned out to be an apt name for the artist born Tom Stell, a nod to the gold mask he wears while performing. “Touch” marks the first taste of new music from Stell’s Golden Features, after a literal golden run since bursting onto the scene in 2014.

Since his 2018 debut album SECT and the launch of 2020’s collaborative project BRONSON (with ODESZA), Stell felt creatively spent and needed time to recoup. Instead of opting for the traditional R&R approach, Stell emersed himself deep into clubbing mecca of the world, Berlin. There, he lost himself in the city’s renowned techno bunkers and hedonistic clubs, dancing with strangers, stripped of phones and returning to the apartment in the early hours to hunt for the tracks he’d heard the night before. Four nights a week spent raving only came to an end when COVID closed the clubs down. But Stell returned to Australia revitalised and most importantly, inspired.

“Touch” encapsulates everything Stell took away from his invigorating stint in Berlin. A track that’s both moody and light, layered with pulsating rhythm, hypnotic beats and the dueling deep and wispy vocals of Rromarin.

“Touch was born from that synth riff. I fought it for so long, feeling it was too happy and upbeat. After giving it some space I reharmonized everything under the riff and it instantly made me feel something. Claire (Rromarin) had actually recorded these vocals for another song on the record, but the lyrics just felt right for Touch” says Stell on the new single. “To me it encapsulates that feeling after the rave... At the kick-on laying with your head in somebody's lap, smoking a cigarette while they play with your hair.”

Now with two platinum and six gold ARIA certifications for his tracks, 275+ million global streams, an acclaimed and beloved debut album in 2018’s SECT (#1 ARIA Dance Albums Chart, #1 iTunes, Triple J’s Feature Album), selling out two shows in 4 hours at the Sydney opera House, headline slots at major festivals both at home and abroad as well as forming the BRONSON project and releasing their self-titled album with stadium-conquering US electronic duo ODESZA under his belt, Golden Features has cemented himself as Australian electronic music royalty, returning now as an artist at the top of their game.

-Nagamag.com

Sitting down with her close friends at the end of her first semester at NYU, ‘Strangers’ came from a conversation reflecting on changing relationships. Lyrics kept writing themselves as people went around the room sharing their stories. Over the next few months the track was finished and produced out and ‘Strangers’ was born. Mercer began to tease the track on Tik Tok and it connected very quickly. Though the song was written during the cold weather, the final production made the track feel more geared towards Summer. Over the past few months Mercer has continued to grow the social presence of the song through shortform video. It was clearly evident that people connected with the track. Mercer was shocked as people began to duet her Tik Toks and create UGCs using the ‘Strangers’ audio sharing their own stories about friendship breakups. Pre-release, the song has amassed over 15k pre-saves across platforms and nearly 4M views across social platforms.

‘Strangers’ was created with a number of talented producers, the first demo was created by Stephen Dawes, then Lucas Sim came in and flushed out the track, the track was then brought to the finish line by Cameron Hale and Joe Avio. The long anticipated single was released on June 23rd.
