Kepa Lehtinen – Nowhere (Spotify)
“Let yourself and your thoughts flow out of the endless stream of daily worries. The wounds will be healed, the heartbeat slows down, let the river of life take you on its waves. Kepa Lehtinen knows how to sound design a cinematic story, where the emotions fly around on all sides, to nowhere, like feathers in the wind and the bond of piano keys and theremin seems like a couple of angels who dance in the rhythm of wind.”
“Отпусти себя и свои мысли в бесконечном потоке наших повседневных забот. Раны затягиваются, биение сердца замедляется, пусть река жизни уносит вас на своих волнах.”

The Maestro of the Theramin is out with a brand new song “NOwhere”... there is more to the instrument made famous by Scifi films from 50's.
The theremin, comes to life under the direction of the rising Finnish composer, Kepa Lehtinen on his new dark andante Nowhere.“The way i use theremin is quite unique. Together with double bass the theremin completes the piano like cello and violin does in classical piano trio.” The theremin is a electronic instrument which produces sound when your hands interact with the electro-magnetic field it emits without actually touching the device itself. It was invented in the labs of KGB by Russian engineer Leon Theremin in the early 1920s.
Strumming through the invisible electronic waves the Tonality play is unnoticeable. While harmonies are modern and complex; the overall feel seems to be nonetheless easily approachable and primitively hypnotic.
Insight to the world of the Theremin from Kepa….On the sound ”Retro but ultra hifi sound has been my goal at studio. Sound of sadness and past.” “Everybody wonders at my instrument,” ”but after all it is the most organic musical instrument there is. The sound is in direct contact with my breathing and the slightest movements of my body. I played the theremin part with a sore hand that I had hurt in a small skate accident i can feel the pain in my hand every time i listen to this track - lol”

Luise – Every You Every Me (Spotify)
“Luise made a chilling, soothing remix of a famous creation that we highly appreciate. A wonderful playlist must... recommended for all electronic music fans out there.”
-Nagamag.com
‘Every You, Every Me’ is a beautiful cover after Placebo, by Luise, under the production of a well-known Romanian artist - ViLLAGE.
The track is a beautiful interpretation of an iconic alternative hit with a deep house chill production.
ROMAN CIGI – Venom (Video)
“Here comes “Venom”. A cool and fresh creation in classic techno mood. This track combines old with new sound ideas. The artist’s personal touch is clear and the result is strongly impressive.”
-Nagamag.com
It’s a combination of Techno, Deep, Dark & Acid music. Song is quite short on techno, just something above 3 minutes, but it meant to be. Three minutes is enough time to show everything that Venom is all about. Primary tempo was set up at 125 bpm. Venom will definitely find a group of techno lovers who will enjoy the quality and uniqueness of the song and also a group of people with opposite opinions.

Carla Stark, born Carla Biset-Bentchikou, is 33 years old. With her Algerian-German mother and French father, Carla lived first in France, then in Vietnam and in India. The French-Algerian singer, Belgian at heart, now spends her time between Bombay, London and Belgium, where she settled 13 years ago. Proud of the many different sides of her personality, she describes herself as a chameleon.
Carla grew up listening to both Korn and Stevie Wonder. With the sound of her father’s saxophone in her ears, she was singing the lyrics to Claude Nougaro before she could even talk. As you understand it, music has been a part of her life since the beginning. For 16 years, she works hard on the piano, before leaving it and focusing on high school, that she finished in Vietnam. She then moves to Belgium where she studies at the Solvay Business School et gets a Master in Economics (by presenting a thesis on music therapy).
Just out of school, and after a few years of business experience, Carla feels like she doesn’t belong and decides to follow her heart and be an artist. She takes a few singing lessons, joins a theatre group, then integrates the Cours Florent, a theatre school in Brussels where she will study a few months before joining the Indian music “Beyond Bollywood”, where she will go from being in the production team to being on stage as an actor and a dancer, for the whole Europe tour of the show.
Carla Stark’s latest album “Karma” was a quest. A quest of love and a search to find herself again after a painful breakup. The singer comes back today with a new EP “C.”, sometimes inspired by her deceptions, sometimes by the optimism of her better life. Chameleon with multiple influences, the artist lives between Brussels, London and Mumbai and decides to sing her emotions in booth English and French.
