sunsetto x Calabasas – on the side

sunsetto x Calabasas – on the side
(Video)

“That synth sound/arp from the beginning of this song is in perfect harmony with vocals. I am always fascinated how nw and then, producers got it right with every sound they choose, that is the case with this song, going on repeat. ”

-Nagamag.com

“on the side” is the perfect example of sunsetto’s innate creative storytelling and melodic sonic flow. sunsetto tapped Los Angeles-based production duo Calabasas – who have previously penned and produced songs for Kanye West, Marc E Bassy and UnoTheActivist – to add their vibey R&B-electronica touch to the track. “Calabasas are two of my favorite artists and producers,” he says. “It was a great session, we made the song in two hours, and it’s a big vibe.”

sunsetto elaborates on the genesis of the new single: “’on the side’ is meant to be a fun one. ‘If you find somebody new, keep me on the side” is something you never hear. I was thinking about love and possession, the metaphor about picking flowers, and popular sayings like ‘cuffing or claiming.’ I don’t know if the lyric is how I really feel, or how anyone really feels, but it’s fun and light. Like the way things feel at the start of a relationship.”

Scott Rill, Plurr – Glow (feat. Stefan Celar)
(Spotify)

“The nostalgic atmosphere Synthwave with a rich barrel, which is trying to focus on the dynamics of the track. The melody shines and shines in the rays of its own spotlights, and the tube flair drives a huge dose of dopamine under your skin. This is the case when music serves as a real drug for your soul!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Ностальгическая атмосфера Synthwave с насыщенной бочкой, которая пытается сделать акцент на динамике трека. Мелодия светится и сияет в лучах собственных прожекторов, а ламповый флёр загоняет вам под кожу огромную дозу дофамина. Это тот самый случай, когда музыка служит настоящим наркотиком для вашей души!”

Lyrah – In the Leaves

Lyrah – In the Leaves
(Spotify)

“Very moving voice, verses, with perfect production. Everything fits together just as it should be. Love the stutter edited vocals, adds the different flavor to already very balanced arrangement. Piano themes keeps the mood together with, again, very beautiful vocals. ”

-Nagamag.com

Quote about the track:

"I wrote this song about a dream I had before I decided to quit my stable, full-time job.

In the dream I kept waking up outside, like on the sidewalk in San Francisco and in the leaves by a road. I kept choosing that over my bed or car, and it felt surprisingly calm when I’d wake up outside of my home.

I had a session with Benji of Slenderbodies and we talked about this dream and how it seemed to mirror my life choice of staying in the comfort of a full time job or leaving and being satisfied with less.

I quit the job and I kept the song."

Rival Consoles – Running

Rival Consoles – Running
(Video)

“Beautiful synth and melody from the start, whole atmosphere builds perfectly, layers of electronic sound in harmony, just amazing. Slow arrangement is maybe I like the most, sound by sound, no rushing it, pulling you in note after note.”

-Nagamag.com

Building on his reputation for driving, experimental electronic music that makes synthesisers sound human, Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles expands on his consistent desire to create a more organic, living sound, seeing him forming pieces that capture a sense of songwriting behind the machines.

‘Running’ is a piece of music the London-based producer had been trying to create for many years despite the simplicity of the track.

“I am very into classical music and the kind of structures and ideas they often use, and love the works which take a single melodic idea and create multiple variations from it. That is what I tried to do with this piece, where every single thing is a variation on the opening ten second theme. I spent over one year exploring a huge amount of variations from light to very heavy. Over much time I ended up being more inspired by the subtler, gentler variations, which allow the idea to breathe, which is a theme on this record.”

ROJAZ – Unwind
(Video)

“Very deep and emotional with a seductive vocals, great atmosphere throughout the track. Like the chord vibes a lot, sets the mood from start to finish. Vocal edits/stutter parts are just as good as the verse ones, adds different dynamics into arrangement.”

-Nagamag.com

Unwind is the first single of a 4 track EP. It is a retrospective love letter to the addictive infatuation stage, written at a time where the singer was still broken hearted over her last relationship. In the single ROJAZ hints at the later explored darker side of falling in love through the contrast in instrumentation. An atmospheric verse and ethereal pre-chorus immerse you in the sound before breaking into a kick-heavy chorus. Evoking images of a sweaty, dark dance club filled with bodies moving to the beat of a chorus led by a catchy vocal hook.

A jazz influenced melody stands out against house-inspired percussion. Carefully chosen harmonies envelop you and deepen the effect of ROJAZ’s airy, characteristic vocals. Everything about ROJAZ’s ‘Unwind’ begs you to let it transport you into a rose tinted, compelling world.

Joe Holt – Immune
(Spotify)

“The rhythm of Lo-Fi POP pleasantly tickles your hearing from the very first seconds, as if flocks of wild swans are crawling under your skin. Acoustic guitar and vocals -joe holt- awaken sincere feelings and resonate very well with your soul. Soft as the clouds of the melody vibrates somewhere in the depths of your heart-so nice, so gentle and so carefully.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Ритм Lo-fi Pop приятно щекочет ваш слух с самых первых секунд, словно у вас под кожей проносятся стаи диких лебедей. Акустическая гитара и вокал -Joe Holt- пробуждают искренние чувства и очень хорошо резонируют с вашей душой. Мягкая, как облака мелодия вибрирует где-то в глубине вашего сердца — так приятно, так нежно и так осторожно.”

Since graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2015, Joe Holt has spent his time recording original music and touring, bringing his intricate fingerstyle guitar and intimate storytelling to new audiences across America. His new album Tired of Trying (prod. Charles Humenry) led Ear to the Ground Music to call Joe "the real deal in folk songwriting.” With credits including opening for Steve Forbert and Parker Millsap, and playing legendary stages like The Bluebird Cafe (Nashville), The Whisky A Go Go (Los Angeles), and The Bitter End (NYC), Joe aims to validate NPR’s 2020 claim that “Joe Holt continues to use his first-person perspective for good.”

Joe Holt is a folk-rock singer/songwriter originally from England, who graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2015.

Joe has released four EPs and three full length albums. He has toured around America for nearly a decade, playing venues like Club Passim (Boston), the Hard Rock Cafe (Boston), Rockwood Music Hall (NYC), The Bitter End (NYC), the Bluebird Cafe (Nashville), the Whisky A Go Go (Los Angeles), and has received airplay on over 60 radio stations internationally. After the moderate success of his early releases (and a successful Kickstarter for his debut album), Joe's 2017 full length album The Person I Admire charted nationally on AAA radio, notably #3 in Redway, CA. Joe has been named Artist of the Week at WERU (Bangor, ME) twice. The song “As Bad as It Seems” from Joe’s 2018 EP Something Louder - EP was featured on NPR's All Songs Considered blog in March 2018. The following full length album A Bigger Fire came out in June 2019, with an accompanying national tour alongside Austin Blair Campbell, and received placements in Spotify editorial playlists including Fresh Finds - Six Strings.

Joe's next EP It's What We Give was released on June 5th, 2020. The first single, “People in New York,” was featured with an accompanying live video on NPR in March 2020. A rumination on selfishness and emotional hardness in an unforgiving city, the song became Joe’s most successful single to date; NPR's Cyrena Touros writes in her feature, “Joe Holt continues to use his first person perspective for good." His highly anticipated new record Tired of Trying was released on May 27, 2022, and lauded by Obscure Sound as “stirring, eloquent songwriting."

Other credits include opening for nationally touring acts including Steve Forbert , Parker Millsap, Davina and The Vagabonds and Ian Fitzgerald, scoring the short film The Race, releasing music as Black Alder and booking his own tours.

“The track that bursts into your consciousness with its colorful, melodic component and drives crazy the organic rhythm of the Synthpop genre.

LYRICS:::

“Did you get my message? I think I’m going crazy…”

Maybe I’m lost,

Was I ever meant to take to you? (Maybe not)

What a wasted high

Just to cut me off into a fade of view,

But now...

It’s a rush, and a spell,

Baby how you make feel

Not enough, I rebel

Every kiss is hell

In a haze, as we dance

Under my tongue, I place a pill

Numbing out, to my last farewell

Leaving is a soft fear

but staying is a poison anyhow

Hate feeling it all, beggin’ to take away

This weight on my heart, cuz I’m about to break

My flame to the match, why won't you burn away

If this is my life, baby I’m not okay

Does it get you off

How I always seem to fall for you,

What a loss

Really I can’t stop

It’s a daydream laced under these dark reviews

Yet how...

It’s a rush, and a spell,

Baby how you make feel

Not enough, I rebel

Every kiss is hell

In a haze, as we dance

Under my tongue, I place a pill

Numbing out, to my last farewell

Leaving is a soft fear

But staying is a poison anyhow

Hate feeling it all, beggin’ to take away

This weight on my heart, cuz I’m about to break

My flame to the match, why won't you burn away

If this is my life, baby I’m not okay

Caught in the backseat

Watch it like TV

Can we really face it?

All of the honesty

Baby I’m not okay

Hate feeling it all, beggin’ to take away

This weight on my heart, cuz I’m about to break

My flame to the match, why won't you burn away

If this is my life, baby I’m not okay

Hate feeling it all, beggin’ to take away

This weight on my heart, cuz I’m about to break

My flame to the match, why won't you burn away

If this is my life, baby I’m not okay

It’s a rush, and a spell,

Baby how you make feel

Not enough, I rebel

Every kiss is hell

In a haze, as we dance

Under my tongue, I place a pill

If this is my life, baby I’m not okay

Rival Consoles – World Turns

Rival Consoles – World Turns
(Spotify)

“Experimental electronic sounds wandering in the dark, whose melody is like a lonely, flashing lighthouse in the distance. He calls you, calls to yourself and you, as if a bloodworm flying to his warm light. Hypnotic journey into previously unknown worlds, along with -rival consoles-.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Блуждающие в темноте звуки Experimental Electronic, мелодия которых словно одинокий, мигающий маяк вдали. Он зовёт вас, призывает к себе и вы, словно мотылёк летите на его тёплый свет. Гипнотическое путешествие в неведомые ранее миры вместе с -Rival Consoles-.”

-Nagamag.com

Rival Consoles’ upcoming album Now Is marks a new chapter in an ongoing quest for refinement and evolution for London-based musician and producer Ryan Lee West. More playful and melodic, the album draws from much experimentation in minimalist songwriting and seamlessly blends synthesizers and acoustic instruments.

https://www.instagram.com/rivalconsoles/

“World Turns” is the thumping new track from the album out Thursday September 1st. "“The essence of ‘World Turns’ is built around this pendulum-like bass, that constantly drives the piece forward. I like having parts in music which are repetitive but everything else is changing around it, almost like a kind of hidden structure, because the repetition becomes more subliminal,” Ryan says.
