Earthphish – ‘Rite Of Life’
(Video)

Rite of Life from Earthphish is about the challenges in life and to embrace them as a learning experience.
A downtempo electronica, trip hop infused and with solid groove, certainly will move your body through its ritual vibes.

Few words about Earthphish:
Formed in Switzerland 2001 by Donovan John Szypura, Aleksandra Mirjana Crossan, and Andre Ledergerber. Earthphish later converted to a duo – Choreographer and Singer Aleksandra Mirjana Crossan and Composer and Producer Donovan John Szypura became a symbiosis of music and dance. They produced numerous award-winning contemporary dance pieces between 2001 and 2005. Their demo CD ‘Metropolis’ was produced in 2001, followed by their debut CD ‘Soft Green Exit’ in 2003. The last EP ‘Earthphish’ was released in 2006.

Sierra Bohnet – Machine
(Video)

This single has a big industrial beat with a droning bass throughout. There are layers spun layers of harmonies and backing vocals, as well as a catchy melody. This song is about someone who is coming out of a dark time of their life. The metaphor is a “machine coming back to life”, like the gears start spinning again.

Few words about Sierra Bohnet:
American singer/songwriter/producer Sierra Bohnet performs progressive pop music, emphasizing lush, layered vocal harmonies, heavy synth melodies, and a wide mix of percussions/world beats. In many of her songs, she strives for an epic feel; where her high vocals carry an emotional, electronic symphony. Her inspirations include Aurora, Grimes, Banks, Scott, Allie X, Two Feet, and Cautious Clay.

Sierra Bohnet started writing music as the age of 9, in Truckee California, and has been developing original music ever since. She was fortunate to train for years with a vocal coach who fed her passion for writing and recording music. She launched her first single “Reflection” at the age of 16 and followed that up with new singles each year. She continued to develop her sound, and found a passion for producing her own music while studying at Berklee College of music. In May 2020, Sierra launched her debut EP, Eradøn, with six songs, each of which she wrote, performed, and produced. Ëradøn is the combination of two words – “era” and “done” to signify the end of an era in her life; a sort of rebirth.

While she considers voice to be her primary instrument, Sierra is also a classically trained flautist and a jazz saxophonist. She is self-taught on the piano and ukulele, which she often uses when writing music.

When not making music, Sierra loves goofing off, not taking the world too seriously, and being just crazy enough to help make this world more sane.

Ian Abel – Mirror Mirror
(Video)

Queer alt-pop artist Ian Abel sings about getting over his ex in a tender, uplifting, and powerfully driving ballad “Mirror Mirror,” released Aug 11. The confessional, pining track came from an experience Abel had years after his first big breakup while sifting through old emails.

“I was honestly still totally hung up on it,” says Ian. “I thought my ex and I were meant for each other. But reading old emails it suddenly dawned on me that we weren’t perfect after all… I realized that the version of us I had in my head wasn’t really how it was, and it was like a huge weight was lifted.”

“Mirror Mirror” is Abel’s second single of 2020. His first single “Taste” was released in May and received praise from numerous blogs and playlisters, including a glowing review from American Pancake’s Rob Donker Curtius, who called it a “deeply engaging blend of genres and art pop tones.”

Sleepwoka – How I Was Wrong (Spotify)

Sleepwoka – How I Was Wrong
(Spotify)

Whereas for many 2020 has been the year that stood still, for Sleepwoka he has been busy songwriting, recording, filming music videos and broadcasting live stream gigs. Sleepwoka’s music is produced in his bedroom in North London. The strong use of analog synthesizers brings a nostalgic 80s vibe and the dream-like atmospheric visuals add a surreal tone to the whole project.

Sleepwoka’s lyrics often reflect on the human condition and he is fascinated by how we change over time as human beings. Particularly poignant to the times we find ourselves currently living in, "How I Was Wrong" explores the notion we often believe in our youth that our best years are yet to come. The song challenges what we think is important and whether that is actually true, especially when we come to reflect on simpler times that may have been harder but were somehow freer.

Sleepwoka explains, “When we were younger, we always felt that the best times were always ahead of us and that we would be the kings of this life! As the years go by, and we begin to achieve our life goals, we realise that those carefree times were actually the years where we felt most free and alive. Although we had nothing, somehow life felt more Authentic.”

It’s an interesting challenge to the common trajectory of life to achieve success by working hard and often sacrificing the things that are truly important in the process. "How I Was Wrong" is a timely reminder to perhaps return to simpler yet fulfilling lives – an awakening many are pondering in 2020.

“The music and beat of Kids of Summer was inspired by some of the electronic music I have been listening to these days.

Peter Zirbs – Wasted (ft. Loretta Who) * Official Video *
(Video)

Multi-instrumentalist Peter Zirbs with his new single ‘Wasted’. Taken from the On A Beautiful Day EP, released August 28, ‘Wasted’ features outstanding singer and songwriter Loretta Who.

Providing one of the two big emotional highlights on the On A Beautiful Day EP ‘Wasted’ sees bombastic, electronic arrangements meet with the fragile, soft voice of Loretta Who – rarely has human alienation been more charmingly packed into a song.

On A Beautiful Day seems to almost prophesise current events – what seemed unthinkable a year ago has become everyday life. With the charismatic former Archive frontman Craig Walker, Zirbs has invited an international guest to the studio for the single ‘Locked In’. Inspired by an old interview with the legendary singer Nico, Zirbs wrote the lyrics to the song last autumn. Today these lyrics read frighteningly up-to-date.

With the hypnotic track ‘The Grand Blackout’ and the energetic track ‘Intensive Care Unit’, Zirbs again proves his class and ability to playfully switch between minimal music and his early musical roots.

As part of the Viennese techno scene of the 1990s, multi-instrumentalist and electronic producer Peter Zirbs released music under several pseudonyms and on various labels. He has broken down genre boundaries over the years, experimenting with analog synthesizers in the scene’s infancy, and finding success with his energetic and raw productions. His electronic music collective konsorten™ earned considerable airplay across the German-speaking world, he also produced for other artists and was responsible for the score of three highly praised art films.

In 2018, Peter Zirbs stepped into the spotlight as a solo artist, with his internationally-acclaimed album debut What If We Don’t Exist?. This debut release found Zirbs’ mixture of futuristic synth-pop, graceful ambient and minimal music being compared to Bowie.

“The closest and most apt sonic comparison for “What If We Don’t Exist?” would be David Bowie’s Low, with its mixture of futurist Synth-Pop and graceful ambient music” (Forestpunk / USA)

Erik Frank – Fall Apart
(Spotify)

I can fall apart like a work of art, look in on the mess I made im like a tornado babe.
A wonderful electrop pop from Erik Frank with bright beatiful harmonies and wonderful colour in voice.
Certainly a summer radio hit.

Few words about Erika Frank:
From a small village to the top radio charts, ERIK FRANK has amassed over 100% million streams and is a uniquely talented singer/songwriter.

Nicknamed Melody Genius by Grammy Nominated producer Jayson DeZuzio (Imagine Dragons), and anyone Erik works with, the 22-year-old had humble beginnings.

Born in village of just 200 people, the idea of becoming a star was the very definition of a long shot. Getting out wasn’t easy. Moving from Spain to France, the U.K. and finally landing the U.S., Erik’s formative years and global experience began to permeate his music. His blend of R&B, Pop and Hip Hop is as unique as the countries he’s lived in.

Elodie Rêverie – Under the Radar (Spotify)

Elodie Rêverie – Under the Radar
(Spotify)

Like the majority of Elodie Rêverie’s music, her latest single Under the Radar originated from an iPhone note, but it marks the start of a new era of her music.

“I wrote the lyrics on my phone early on in quarantine, and I’d just finished The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut,”she recalls. “I often turn to literature when looking for lyrical inspiration.”

However, the LA based singer-songwriter known for her creative beats, clever lyrics and bewitching vocals wasn’t preoccupied with generating new music.

A few weeks later, she was browsing on Splice(a cloud-based music creation platform) with no specific objective and came across a loop that made her pause—the loop sparked her decision to turn the iPhone note she’d written a few weeks prior into a song.

For the first time in her career, Elodie decided to hire a producer. “I love to produce, but I felt really zapped and decided it was important to preserve my energy.”

Elodie connected with the producer of Under the Radar, Riley Urick through a colleague.

“It’s been cool to see someone else’s interpretation of my song align with how I wanted to feel when I listen to it,” says Elodie. “I want to be transported somewhere else mentally, to slow down. I want the song to capture the essence of how I was feeling when I wrote the lyrics.”
