Camo & Krooked – No Tomorrow (Spotify)

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

“We enjoyed this exuberant sound design and production like was NO TOMORROW. Through the soulful vocals of Sophie Lindinger and the diversity in layering in this new emotive drum & bass track by Camo & Krooked with Mefjus in Hospital Records, one is sure it does the difference!”

-Nagamag.com

James Bond meets Woodkid meets Billie Eilish meets Drum and Bass.

Sounds impossible? That´s exactly what Camo & Krooked + Mefjus did for their new Single “No Tomorrow” which is the first release of their upcoming “No Tomorrow EP”

Three drum & bass powerhouses collide as Camo & Krooked & Mefjus team up on their latest glitched out anthem ‘No Tomorrow’ featuring the sultry vocals of Sophie Lindinger (Leyya) - an unmatchable four-way showcase of some of Austria’s finest musical talent. With the three titan’s last collaboration ‘Kallisto’ on Hospital Records taking the electronic music scene by storm last summer with impeccable sound design and mind-warping basslines, Camo & Krooked & Mefjus have outdone themselves once more as ‘No Tomorrow’ plunges deep into the depths of twisted drum & bass sonics.

The Song is part of the “No Tomorrow” EP which will include an acoustic / classical rework of the song + an electronica-based version. The follow up Single will be released by the end of this year and the EP will follow in January.

Audriix – Deep Breaths (Video)

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

“Ta ta tara…yes a pretty solid yet minimal memorable melodic line and groove here and with a pretty playful signature style of Audriix, a combination of both production and performance skills along with good story telling, define your next favorite pop song here.”

-Nagamag.com

About this song:

Lake Tahoe, Nevada-based rising pop artist Audriix makes stellar inroads into 2020 with sky reaching new single, Deep Breaths. Big room electronic pop showcasing Audriix’s dreamy vocals atop a crystal sharp arrangement, the track serves as a stellar offering ahead of upcoming releases. Speaking on the track, Audriix states:

“Deep Breaths is a women empowerment song drawn from my personal experiences. It’s about standing up for yourself when someone tries to oppress you and unapologetically feeling your emotions.”

When it comes to pursuing her passion for music, Audriix is nothing less than a force of nature. Growing up in northern California, the singer/songwriter begged for violin lessons at age two and soon moved on to also mastering piano, viola, and singing (eventually adding guitar and drums as well). Having started writing songs at age six, she later self-produced her first batch of material in the midst of earning three degrees from Stanford University.

After releasing her debut EP Colors in 2015, Audriix released her full-length debut Status Change in 2019, bringing her voice to a brightly edgy brand of pop built on massive choruses and effervescent melodies. Her new single Deep Breaths continues the theme of empowerment, examining the culture of emotion suppression and silencing, all with a fearless honesty. “None of my songs portray the woman as the victim,” she says. “It’s all about being strong and standing up for yourself. I hope that listeners come away feeling empowered to do whatever they set their minds to.” Look out for more from Audriix soon.

John Dennis – Board Game Money (Spotify)

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

“For people in search of classic american rock music hearings Board game money is an exquisite example coming from a young artist that having been deeply inspired by folk's greatest like Dylan and Springsteen delivers smartly a memorable example with his own distinct character”

-Nagamag.com

John Dennis, a 27 year old Freeburg, IL native, moved to Nashville, TN in 2010 to pursue his unique place among the music there. Though his songs resonate with the influence of many of folk's greats--namely Dylan, Simon and Springsteen--his unique vocals, clever Midwestern-driven imagery, and 21st century socially commentative lyrics earn him his own distinct voice. In 2013 he was discovered by Dr. Bryan Clark of Rainfeather Records--a successful musician and producer in his own right. The pair worked together to complete John's first record with Rainfeather, "Eternity's Tree," which was released in 2014. The album features a colorful collection of Dennis' original work and displays strongly John's ability to deliver an enjoyable listening experience while not shying away from his characteristic weightiness and lyrical substance. In 2016, John, along with Clark and Rainfeather, recorded a follow up record entitled "Second Wind," which only built upon and deepened what was presented in his debut; and which marked a substantial and triumphant step forward for Dennis both artistically and personally. "Second Wind," was recorded at Plethoratone Studios in Brentwood, TN. Following its official release in 2017, Dennis began work on his third full length record: a concept album that will prove to be his most creatively ambitious project yet. “Mortal Flames,” recorded at Blackbird and Plethoratone studios, is slated for release in the early Spring of 2019.

Tendra – Draumaland (Radio Edit) (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Neoclassical, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“In a hasty world it is often to overlook artists with a stark locality on their work. In this case Draumaland an Icelandic word of Dreamland we experience an infusion of icelandic folk music with electronic elements and heartwarming vocals receiving an enchanting result from a dynamic young duet ”

-Nagamag.com

The song "Draumaland" (transl. Dreamland) is a composition of Tendra's guitarist Mikael Máni Ásmundsson with lyrics by vocalist Marína Ósk. The two have worked together since 2014 in various projects but have now created the concept of Tendra around their composed music. Tendra is an Icelandic word which means "to light a spark".

The song Draumaland, with lyrics in Icelandic, is about the moment when the night slowly enters the country and the Icelandic nation, almost simultaneously lays down and drifts off to sleep. Iceland is a small country and with the whole country sharing the same time, they are all connected in a way. The heart of the song also speaks to the core of the Icelandic nation but as a whole, they support each other and when in need, they put their backs together and create a strong front. Even living abroad, they find each other.

Draumaland is the third single released from Tendra's upcoming debut which is to be released on CD, vinyl and online platforms in November 6th 2020.
