Epitomising the rich culture of their heritage through the imagery and lyricism Vector x Mastaa showcase their new DJ Magnum collaboration ‘No Worries’. Bringing an abundance of feel-good-energy straight to your speakers, as it blares with a seasoned myriad of instruments, from drum patterns to trumpet horns.

Directed by Tokyo James the visuals bring the energy of the track to life as the music video bursts with colour and vibrancy. Forging an experimental style both Vector x Mastaa engrain the essence of African culture with rap, coining a ‘Rapfrobeat’ sound. The balance between both genres is reflected through the music video and lyricisms as African culture is merged with Western clothing and the track includes a mixture of English and Yoruba.

No Worries’ is taken off Vector and Mastaa’s collaborative project ‘CROSSROADS’. The five-track EP spearheads the partnership between Afrobeats and rap. The pair use their rhythm and poetry to construct a different narrative over traditional African beats. They also open up the gate to the whole diaspora as their sound reflects the music derived from numerous countries and their music becomes the playground to where they unite.

Their project ‘CROSSROADS’ is a seamless blend between traditional rap and more a rhythmic and melodic sound. They have also teamed up with DJs on two occasions, which of course includes DJ Magnum on ‘No Worries’, as well as DJ Neptune on ‘Eyan Colgate’. Having developed their artistry as individual acts ‘CROSSROADS’ documents the moment where Vector and Mastaa’s creative paths meet.

Joining the new wave of artist popularising the ‘Rapfrobeat’ sub-genre, Vector x Mastaa are your ones to watch for 2021.

Arlø of Tik Tok’s Cameo Club Goes Solo With Release of “Fall”

Dillon Scheel, the Deep House producer behind Cameo Club’s 2020 success, “Castaway,”

is launching a new solo project under the name Arlø. The track “Castaway” gained

momentum on Tik Tok last summer when it was featured in over 500 videos receiving

more than 8 million total views. It also amassed 2 Million Spotify Streams.

Arlø’s new track, “Fall,” carries the same dancefloor energy as “Castaway,” but contains

more of Dillon’s personal character. The song features Dillon’s own vocals, which are

honest and engaging, as well as soulful melodies and harmonies. As for his production,

Arlø offers tastefully crafted sounds that stand out from generic house production. “Fall”

makes you dance, but it also has real feeling. Its uplifting energy will elevate any party,

club, or event.

Arlø is using the COVID-19 lockdown as an opportunity to finish as much music as

possible. “It’s been kind of freeing to have no pressure on timing. I have been able to lock

into my creativity without feeling rushed.” “Fall” is the first of a string of singles he plans

to release in the coming months to establish his new Deep House brand.

BIOGRAPHY

Arlø is the stage name of singer/songwrtiter,

guitarist, and producer Dillon Scheel. Dillon is based

out of San Fransisco, California, where he grew up.

He is in his fourth and final year studying music

production at the Berklee College of Music.

Dillon trained as a jazz guitarist from the age of 10.

Then, while in high school, he developed a passion

for songwriting. He took inspiration from 70s pop

and disco artists that his parents were always

playing in the background. He really developed an

appreciation for the hits of artists like Stevie Wonder

and Earth Wind & Fire. Finally, at the age of 16, Dillon

fell in love with Electronic Dance Music after going to

the Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco.

Dillon brings his knowledge of jazz harmony and

his love for old school tunes to the modern dance

music scene. There’s a richness in harmony and

melody in every one of his tracks. His deep bass

production is a welcome contrast to offset the

catchy songwriting and it satisfies the listener’s

desire for that extra edge. The resulting

combination is addictive.

Arlø’s use of simplicity emphasizes the most

important elements of his productions: clear

vocal hooks and bass drops. There is a moment in

every Arlø track where the listener will stop and

ask “What song is that?”

A Winged Victory For The Sullen – ‘Desires Are Already Memories’ (Invisible Cities, 2021) (Video)

Categories: Electronica, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , |

“Ambient is an amazing journey through the endless expanses of the world around us. When, instead of a thousand words, there is only the exceptional magic of sound and vibration in your hearts. Turn off the lights, take a deep breath, and relax. ”

“Ambient – удивительное путешествие по бескрайним просторам окружающего нас с вами мира. Когда вместо тысячи слов лишь исключительная магия звука и вибрации в ваших сердцах. Погасите свет, глубоко вздохните и расслабьтесь.”

-Nagamag.com

A Winged Victory for the Sullen, the composer collaboration between Stars of the Lid founder Adam Wiltzie and L.A. composer Dustin O’Halloran, are set to release new album ‘Invisible Cities’ on February 26th 2021, the stunning score to the critically acclaimed theatre production directed by London Olympics ceremony video designer Leo Warner. Released on their own Artificial Pinearch Manufacturing label, the album comes as part of an agreement with A Winged Victory for the Sullen’s current label, Ninja Tune.

On the album, the music is distilled into a 45-minute version that draws on expansive worlds, hopeful compositions, and ominous soundscapes. “Desires Are Already Memories” is a steady unraveling, with heartbeat ambient synths slowly building on and overtaking the track’s choral ambience.

INEZ ”In a Minute” (Official music Video) (Video)

Categories: Pop, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , |

“The new composition -In a Minute- by INEZ is unique and draws into the imagination of her listeners a huge, inimitable world. Intoxicating rhythm like a glass of wine, languid, penetrating into the very depths of the soul and heart of the vocal performer with an amazing story that can be laid down in the infinity of time.”

“Композиция In a Minute от INEZ уникальна тем, когда всего один сингл рисует в воображение его слушателей огромный, неподражаемый мир автора. Опьяняющий словно бокал вина ритм, томный, проникающий в самую глубь души и сердца вокал исполнительницы и удивительная история, которую можно уложить в бесконечность неповторимых минут.”

-Nagamag.com

In some instances all it takes is one moment before you don’t recognize yourself. You’re riding a horse trough the desert of Arizona and suddenly you find yourself sitting opposite a stranger that is yourself. With their song “In a Minute” INEZ look closer at the crossroads as live presents them to us. Front woman Ines Brodbeck wishes herself to “another place without time” and takes a dive into a pool (of sound and water, that is).

In the water pomegranates float around, a symbol of fertility, and in the music itself reverbchambers open up to new dimensions. “My time will be mine” sings Brodbeck and sounds as timeless as sublime. In the jangly guitars we catch an earful of Ennio Morricone and in the crimson cloak a glimpse of David Lynch. And then she inserts a jack cable into the pomegranate – and there goes an explosion of sound and colour.

Zenon Marko – Esse (Video)

“Highly emotional creation with a characteristic calm and peaceful inpact. Smooth and gradual progression of sounds. This beauty can surely touch your soul in a simple and direct way!”

“Esse” (Latin, infinitive, “to be, to exist”) is the centerpiece of the “Symmetry” album. The entire album is symmetrical, and “Esse” itself is completely symmetrical and reversible in time, both musically and visually in this video.

“Symmetry” is the musically symmetrical soundtrack of a journey, whether physical, intellectual, imaginative, emotional, philosophical, psychological, or spiritual. The music expresses progressive ascent towards a goal, arrival at an apex, descent, and return. The structure of the music reflects and embodies philosophy, mathematics, sacred geometry, harmony and dissonance, and psychoacoustics. This electronic arrangement of the composition is inspired by early, baroque, classical and neoclassical music, as well as electronic music and minimalism.
