● For her latest single “SEVERA (daughter of fate)” JOPLYN cleverly combines different elements to an exciting mixture of: Berlin Club Beats, ancient ethnic vocal samples, her own angelic voice and analogue synths and weird arrangements. Check out the music video that JOPLYN filmed and directed on her recent trip through Italy: https://youtu.be/oR00-ofwdRU
● Music Commentary:
The track starts directly with a driving beat and a syncopated vocal chop before the main “old fado vocal sample” gets introduced. The vocal exclaims pain and emotion, supported by warm synths and strings and a melodic line that mirrors the key element. Joplyn’s own vocals enter and warmly keep the melancholic feeling going, while the new bassline and added drums keep the groove going.
In the breakdown the fado sample gets filtered in parallel to the old solina pads and strings creating a mystical yet familiar wam vibe, the drums and synths keep building before the peak of the song.
Now the beat and heavy bassline drive the energy alone and the main elements slowly get re-introduced with added vocal ad-libs and more dramatic synths before the song fades out into the sea of time...
● Lyric Commentary:
“Severa (daughter of fate)” is an homage to Maria Severa, a Portuguese singer and guitarist, claimed to be the first Fado singer. Her influence was paramount to the creation of the genre. The beginnings of Fado can be traced back to the 1820s in Lisbon, Portugal, but probably have much earlier origins. Lyrical themes often include the sea or the life of the poor, infused with a sentiment of resignation, fate and melancholia. Until this day, Fado has remained an integral part of national tradition and identity.
JOPLYN celebrates the perpetuity of Maria Severa’s impact on Portuguese art and culture, insisting that she remains a source of inspiration for generations to come. Her impact transcends time and place, almost manifesting her as this divine spirit watching over the streets of Lisbon, giving creativity to those who seek it - “Now every street echoes your name. Mythical woman. The Daughter of Fate.”

“-BYLJA- удалось уловить самые запоминающиеся, цепляющие моменты и донести их до своего слушателя. Трек можно легко сравнить с покачивающейся лодкой, где в качестве волн выступают ритмы Melodic Techno & House, которые уносят тебя далеко за горизонт.

Electronica duo BYLJA is releasing their debut EP Sojourn on the 24th of September via Springstoff. On the EP, listeners will find ‘Unity & Division’ as well as the previously released singles, ‘Rings Of Eradication’ and ‘Another State Of Matter (featuring Rumpistol)’. For the old-school listeners, the EP will also be released on vinyl. With their chilled sound, the duo have received support from several unique publications including Comeherefloyd, VENTS Magazine, Rock & Pop and Bands Of Tomorrow. The duo have made themselves at home on stage, appearing at several of Denmark’s biggest festivals including
Spot Festival, Uhørt Festival, Smukfest, and Stella Polaris, as well as sharing a stage with well-known acts such as Maribou State and Lydmor. Offstage, the duo have also provided official remixes for German duo KIDSØ and Czech duo teepee.
Born and based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Marchel Mørk and Emil Aagaard met each other at a school musical and bonded over their love of cheese and synthesizers. They formed BYLJA in 2018, where they would explore the inspiring sounds of Jon Hopkins, Christian Löffler and Boards of Canada in their music. The Sojourn EP sits closely to these influences, drawing parallels to the works of Kiasmos, Rival Consoles and Bonobo.
Building a futuristic universe with their atmospheric tones, the listener is drawn into the vast, awe-inspiring chasms of space and sound created by BYLJA. It’s within this melancholic tinged world that we find Sojourn, delicately hanging in the balance and providing a light, escapist cheer to the soundscapes. Be prepared to be lulled into a deep reverie as the mesmerizing forward-moving beats keep all entranced in their wake.

“"Lian Gold" is back with her strong, dynamic spirit. Rising from the depths of absolute electronic world, "Eastern Soul" can keep your energy levels high enough to realize the difference between typical and sophisticated creations. Enjoy!”

"Eastern Soul" as the title suggests, is full of "soul" and also a somewhat carefree but also careful and artistic synergy of distinct musical influences. It maintains strong ethnic and "roots" influences as much as it retains its universal appeal by fusing pop and electronic elements with these ethnic musical idioms.

Lagartijeando returns to Wonderwheel with the second taste of his upcoming album, “Mano de Fatima.” Maintaining a focus on fusing traditional sounds with forward-facing, electronic production, this single sees the Argentinian turn toward Morocco and its peoples’ deep cultural histories for influence. Specifically, “Mano de Fatima” features Gnawa artist Khalil Mounji on vocals and guembri (aka sintir, the three-stringed, skin-covered lute used in Gnawa music). Mounji’s melismatic voice carries hypnotic qualities over Lagartijeando’s driving beat, forming a sound that is at once meditative and exciting; it is a fascinating meeting of two worlds that invariably compliment each other, from the southern tip of the Americas, to the northwestern corner of Africa.
Lagartijeando is the name of producer, musician and DJ Mati Zundel. Strongly influenced by his travels through Latin America, Mati's signature psychedelic dance tracks latch onto everything from traditional folk sounds from the Bolivian altiplano to the jungle beats of Brazil. Mati hypnotically fuses his traditional influences (with an emphasis on shaman chant and charango loops) with contemporary electronic beats, creating a sound that once left NPR speechless.
His album is due out on Wonderwheel Recordings at the end of October.
