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

“A fast energy whirlwind of dopeness. Evident influences extracted from the classics, and we like that a lot. Those jungle massives are as cool now as ever and simplicity isa beautiful thing in electronica. The future looks bright when the past is learned from and built upon, especially in the DnB world. ”

As the popularity of nostalgic rave & drum and bass music continues to increase across the UK (and beyond!) London's 4am Kru carry on their foray into the frenetic world of old school jungle and 1994 inspired happy hardcore. Familiar, pitched up vocals, piano stabs, rolling breakbeats and booming bass combine to make Stay Puffed a high energy drum & bass banger, not just for long time fans of the genre but for newcomers as well. Stay Puffed is out on new independent London label Embrace The Real Records.

Peter Lix – Fade Away (Spotify)

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

“Peter Lix latest release in the Drum & Bass scene is full of emotion and artistic ideas. The experienced producer has cleverly combined some soft vocals and keyboard loops with powerfull percussion patterns. "Fade Away" is a real gem for every sensitive listener.”

-Nagamag.com

The latest offering from Peter Lix and the Dojo Audio stable, Fade Away is an energetic Drum & Bass workout with emotive melodies and an alluring vocal hook.

Built upon a foundation of atmospheric pads - reminiscent of the deeper D&B sound of the mid nineties - Fade Away blends its uptempo vibe with soulful flavours.

Through pensive chords, bittersweet guitar phrases, subtle sweeps and reverb-heavy fx, the track creates a dreamy vibrance that floats over solid drums and a driving sub bassline.

The chorus section delivers the instantly catchy ‘Don’t fade away’ vocal, and is further complemented by subtle piano notes.

Fade Away is conceptual, in that it cleverly blends melodic elements to create a sense of emotions “fading away”. Yet, as we’ve come to expect from the Peter Lix sound, an air of hope is left lingering within the bittersweet keys…

Diezmo – Give Me Love (Spotify)

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

“Pure liquid gold with the essence of this angelic jazzy voice. Liquid DNB sure has come along way and tracks like this do a great job with pulling people into the genre. ”

-Nagamag.com

Give Me Love marks the start of a new journey into Drum & Bass from production duo Diezmo. Here Juan and Gelby turn their attentions from the house, garage and latin productions into the 174bpm, creating their own signature DnB sound using unique layers of percussion and brass stabs, overlaid with female vocals from one of the UK DnB’s ‘Royal’-ty. We know Diezmo are bringing a fresh new dimension to the scene with this and forthcoming bangers.

About the artist

Gelby and Juan met in London in 2016 and soon after started co-producing and releasing bass music of different sub-genres such as UK Garage, Trap and Moombahton under the name Diezmo. They also share a love for world and ethnic influenced electronic music which led them to start a side project called @Carthnage in 2018. The evolution of Drum & Bass in the last few years has re-captured their interest and reignited their lifelong passion for Drum & Bass. They now intend to make their name within the genre and are working hard preparing a debut EP to be released later in 2021.

Peter Lix – Forever Blue (Spotify)

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

“Electrified atmosphere, light layers of Drum & Bass crumbled rhythm and enveloping, hypnotizing female vocals. -Forever Blue- opens new horizons for the listener and with each next listening, it becomes stronger and stronger. Music blooms like scarlet tulips in the spring. Splendid work!”

“Наэлектризованная атмосфера, лёгкие слои заводного ритма Drum & Bass и обволакивающий, гипнотизирующий женский вокал. -Forever Blue- открывает новые горизонты для слушателя и при каждом очередном прослушивании пробирает всё сильнее и сильнее. Музыка расцветает словно алые тюльпаны по весне. Великолепие!”

-Nagamag.com

Marking the third in a series of soul-stirring releases, Peter Lix unveils the bitter-sweet Forever Blue.

Forever Blue is defined by its wistful vocals and melancholy piano chords. Yet while introspective and chilled, the track boasts fluid beats and a dynamic bassline that inject a constant pace of energy throughout.

As the track unfolds, abstract guitar phrases and time-stretched effects swirl around the ear-space, adding to the reflective mood. These elements are coupled with neat percussive edits that offer subtle change amidst the persistent nature of the main melody line.

Forever Blue presents a nostalgic, thought-provoking soundscape. The loose, laid back keys evoke memories of the past – of relationships, old friends and days gone by – while at the same time there is a warmth to the track that provides a feeling of comfort and hope.

Already receiving heavy play across the radio and podcast spectrum, Forever Blue is a must-include for every liquid Drum & Bass set.

QUIX, Jaden Michaels – Make Up Your Mind (feat. Jaden Michaels) – song by QUIX, Jaden Michaels | Spotify (Spotify)

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

“ Make up your mind (featuring Jaden.Michels) Is a bright DRUM and BASS track with nice clean transitions that engage the listener into the deliciously layered lyrics. Her voice draws one into the love story and energy pulsing behind the scenes. Midway the track breaks nicely and allows her vocals to really stand out, while the Drum and Bass build ups converge. ”

-Nagamag.com

QUIX returns to Steve Aoki's Dim Mak imprint with his new single "Make Up Your Mind," featuring Nashville singer/songwriter Jaden Michaels, a drum & bass gem with QUIX's signature emotive punch. The heavy DnB influence pays homage to QUIX's homeland New Zealand, where this dynamic music genre has always had a powerful following. "Make Up Your Mind" opens with a heartfelt, soulful voice by Jaden and rides on a steadily building bassline that culminates in a high-energy, goosebump-inducing drop. The track follows QUIX's earlier release "IDK Vol. 2" from earlier this year and is his second collaboration with Jaden Michaels, after 2018's "Giving Up" who released recently her solo single "Every Last Thing." Read on for QUIX's story on how "Make Up Your Mind" came to be.

"I actually started writing this beat last year during a twitch stream; funnily enough, Jaden had already sent me the topline months before. Essentially, I mashed up the beat with her vocal and surprised myself with how well they worked together. I've never made a DnB song like this before, and I wanted to challenge myself to incorporate the mainstream style with my signature style. Thank you for listening, and hope you enjoyed yourself, especially on that last drop" - QUIX

Hailing all the way from New Zealand, QUIX initially traveled to North America in 2017 for 10 shows and finished up doing an astonishing 42 stops. He has been tearing up the trap scene ever since, continuously shaking the new ground with his unique sound design. Coming off three headline tours in 2018, including Coachella and support on Steve Aoki's Kolony tour, QUIX had a break-out year with his "Illusions EP" on Dim Mak. It has racked up millions of plays and creatively merged genres with powerful vocals while staying true to QUIX's signature sound. He has also been honored by Spotify to feature on the cover of their two biggest international dance playlists, "Mint" and "Dance Rising," and officially remixed the likes of Steve Aoki, GASHI, RL Grime, and more. Jaden Michaels is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. In her career as a songwriter, she has collaborated with some of pop music's biggest stars, including Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, Carly Rae Jepsen, Robin Thicke, and more. In 2012 and 2013 Jaden co-wrote one of the songs performed on the season finale of American Idol. Her songwriting work on Carly Rae Jepsen's album "Kiss" received the 2013 Juno Award for "Album of the Year." Stay tuned for more music coming from these exciting and talented artists very soon.
