As a songwriter, Dalipi is constantly reviewing and reconstructing, pushing himself towards growth. The blues undertones heard throughout the five pieces in the After the Party EP can be attributed to Dalipi’s self-taught musicianship. About pushing himself and creating this EP experience Dalipi states:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjqPau20BcELXg1Y9YSwuGw
“‘After the Party' is an EP that collects the 3 songs I've released over the past year, along with two other singles "Circles" and "After the Party". This EP has been a long process to get out with COVID changing up the game of the industry, but that allowed me to go back to the drawing board and restrategize the release, and I'm really excited to drop the full project.” - Adem Dalipi

Throughout their illustrious career, the name Krewella has become known for hard-hitting and yet emotionally charged music. True to form, the Jahan and Yasmine sisters’ new body of work – “The Body Never Lies” is a shining example of their signature sound and artistic direction. After releasing singles “Never Been Hurt” with BEAUZ, “No Control” with MADGRRL, and “I’m Just A Monster Underneath, My Darling,” Krewella has unveiled the full 10-track masterpiece. The album was created from an intimate, internal space of Krewella’s self-reflection, exploring impermanence, the oddity of human experience, their relationship to the world around them as women in a male-dominated society. “The Body Never Lies” title hints at the range of emotions within the LP, with each track as unique and varied as our feelings themselves. “Traces” serves as a haunting opener, quickly followed by a series of heavier tracks, including the drum & bass-inspired “In The Water” and the angry yet touching “War Forever.” Krewella hits a different vibe with the last three tracks, which explore the darker and more tender side of the human experience. After a long wait for this highly anticipated album, to say that Krewella has done it again with “The Body Never Lies” would be an understatement. The album’s release coincides with their upcoming 2022 album-themed tour, which covers 2+ months of live shows and DJ sets, hitting cities including Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Denver, and more.
“The clench of a fist, the pit in your stomach, the fluid in your veins; the body is a sensor, messenger, keeper of stories, a fortress of the soul, an instrument of knowing, a rocket ship to other worlds. Every cell, pore, and bone recalls the past, absorbs the present, and senses the future. ‘The Body Never Lies’ is at times an angry, sometimes feverish, but always a euphoric conversation about feeling, remembering, and existing in our individual vessels that encase our soul and memories.” – Krewella
Sisters Jahan and Yasmine exploded onto the scene in 2012 with their debut self-released EP “Play Hard,” which has now been streamed almost 150M times on Spotify alone; additionally, their single “Alive” from the EP has been certified Platinum. Since then, the duo has made a name for themselves and their hard-hitting yet melodic and vocal-driven sound through releases like “Live for the Night,” “Enjoy the Ride,” and more. In 2016, Krewella was awarded a coveted place on Forbes’s “30 Under 30” list. They have performed at major global music festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, iHeartRadio Music Festival, and many others, in addition to their own headlining tours. As one of the main elements of the Krewella canon, the group’s onstage performances serve as the live extension of their music and art, incorporating a multitude of audiovisual elements together with Jahan and Yasmine’s live vocals and powerful onstage energy.

Dance floor-scorching duo Alligatorz are teasing their debut Bang Bang EP with a bombastic new single. Featuring the powerful punchlines and flow of Mr. J Medeiros, “Bubbly” (out March 3 in advance of the EP’s release on March 11) finds forward-thinking reggaeton infused with classic violin touches. The release comes alongside a colorful music video with endless dancing and neon-inflected animations.
Inspired by a trip to Rio de Janeiro, DJ Greem (Hocus Pocus, C2C) and Røn Puma (Caravan Palace) were moved to mix the rich sounds of Latin American culture with diverse electronic and hip-hop influences. After releasing a string of songs and mixtapes while performing from everywhere from Argentina to Colombia, they decided to assemble their eclectic first EP as Alligatorz. The result is a vibrant musical adventure where samba, reggaeton, and baile funk intermix with French electronic production and animated hip-hop vocals, all making for an animated, outstanding approach stretching into 2022 and beyond.
“It took us right into the story told. The clever voiceover adds great depth to the piece. Its multivocal interpretation of the vocals are rich in productional finesse. The beat is a classic one and the groove it provides is clean. Strong message behind the lyrics. ”

“When you feel trapped in a toxic relationship and have unsuccessfully tried to improve things, you may have to give up. This is the story of “Saults” as it unfolds in Indie Pop mood and surely independent spirit! Fast, groovy and dancing result guaranteed.”
-Nagamag.com
Taking its lead from their previous single; “Stuck In Old Fantasy”, Saults latest banger, “Givin Up” comes to you via German Indie powerhouse Swutch Music, the home of some of the most exciting up-and-coming electronic music in 2022.
With Jack Wilson from Fickle Friends once again in the producer’s chair, there’s a slickness that is both palpable and fresh. “Givin Up” delivers on every level be that musically, vocally, or just straight-up bop-ability. This is one song that will lead us all into the summer we desperately need (or at least until Saults release their next smash).
Quote : “What Givin’ Up on Me wants to express is that sort of relationship we’ve all been in, when you try everything to make it work but it keeps falling into pieces no matter what. So there’s only one way to break the cycle of failure: tell your partner to leave you, to set you free, because you can’t do it by yourself.”

“We open the doors wide into emotional landscapes with this one. It does pack a high energy approach to the matter with some pretty cool synths. The melody is well composed his singing is on point with rich vocal complexity and energy. ”
