Post Description
“For those who seek the different in music, "Spectre" drifts among IDM, Glitch and Garage. Modern sound arrangement built on vibrating echoes. The vocals bounce and pan around you, while the beat leaves the impression that is something alive.”

“Get ready for a trip beyond this world, in another reality and dimension of sound. Luis Paul has set the scene of something unique. Swirling violin and piano strings, filling the air with harmony and connecting us with the divine”

Artist said about this song:
"The song is meant to immerse the listener in a world that lies beyond thought - beyond facades and concepts, a world beyond time. It is the desire to recognize oneself in the other, to see through the differences to find common ground. This song is an invitation to a dream world of feelings. Close your eyes and let yourself fall into it"

“”Dillon” returns after a long pause and she’s influenced from intense emotions. Sadness, despair and bittersweet thoughts can be traced in this remarkable Downtempo single, which covers everything like a dark cloud. Dare to listen!”

Brazilian-born artist Dillon is back after five years – On her fourth album, 6abotage, produced by Greek-German producer Alexis Troy, Dillon has created a powerful sound sphere one can hardly restrain from. The first single, “<3core,” is available for streaming from June 10th.
With her first single, “<3core”, the Berlin-based artist has created an oscillating tension field – giving the first insight into her fourth album, 6abotage. Written and produced with Alexis Troy, Dillon describes the album as “a love letter, a cry for help and a consequence all in one”, with the hypnotically painful first single, “<3core”, tying up reluctant impulses and emotions, attracting and repelling like rotating magnets.
Reduced to the core, it sounds abyssal and sobering when Dillon outlines an entangled situation, where, perhaps only leaving may help, with the escalating line “if you hurt, till you hurt me, till I hurt you, till you want me, till you love me <3core… “. Troy’s skilfully consummate production embraces Dillon and her struggle with this emotional chaos, which momentarily shifts into spoken word, in sombre warmth, and simultaneously, in stifling coldness. “<3core” reveals Dillon’s unsparing openness, a relentless inner conflict, and the powerful combination of pain/despair and relief/conciliation.
“The master Jess Hendricks strikes with imposing Cinematic style and wide atmospheric patterns. Mysterious and strangely soft, this track can leave a memorable sign in your listening canvas. A real diamond for our playlists.”

“Electronic layers of retro taste keep us active, alive and kicking. "The Archer" knows well how to entertain his audience and bring smiles through old school House sounds. Now is the time to feel this vibe and keep on dancing.”
-Nagamag.com
Now with “Let’s Not Interrupt (Keep on Dancing),” The Archer crafts a deep reminder of why we love all this in the first place, spanning time with its uncanny ‘90s house chords and a beautiful take-charge vocal that inspires more than demands clubbers sweat out those pandemic blues once and for all.

“Finding balance between work and life is hard for most of us, but it definetely worths trying. In this cool Indie single, Nina Moss brings fresh air that envelops the listener. Your chance to slow down from your constant rush is only one click away!”
-Nagamag.com
Artist said about this song:
"I wrote this song in the Idaho countryside this summer, having found a rare moment of peace in a chaotic year. I’d felt myself wishing I could just “stay a while." It's a simple idea, but I’m from New York and often feel caught up in the rat race mentality. I wanted to write something about trying to find that work/life balance, which is something I struggle with. I worked on this with Tiger Darrow and Dezi, who helped me bring it to life with fun live instrumentation!"

“Taken from "TIBASKO" forthcoming EP, this groovy electronic gem can be exactly what you look for an energy boost. Fast and intricate percussive loops, followed by mystic vocal effects and some Downtempo traces towards the finale.”
-Nagamag.com
Rising British electronic DJ / production duo TIBASKO are poised to announce a brand new release with the arrival of 'Traces / Gradients', lifted from their forthcoming self-titled EP due this September through Another Rhythm.
Drawing on a myriad on influences from techno, house, breaks, bass, including Bulgarian Folk Choir samples. This ethos of discovery and experimentation firmly plants TIBASKO in the driving seat of modern, progressive creators.
They say: "The beginning phase of this EP perfectly captures the feeling that this extended project will go down, showing a diverse and eclectic side of all things TIBASKO. We wanted to encorporate a wide range of production techniques across this project and you'll hear them in both Traces and Gradients. Going back to our love of digging through worldly music, we've found Bulgarian Folk music has this incredibly captivating element to it. 'Traces' features a beautiful sample titled 'Pilentze Pee' which showcases intense and dissonant vocals. Paired with the big, dreamy synth elements we created, we feel it's drawn out a mysterious and haunting feel to the track. 'Gradients' acts as a juxtaposition to 'Traces' - we intentionally gave it a more industrial and experimental sound parallel to what you'd find in those sweaty basement raves, whilst the vocals still retain that tribal element we love to include in our music."
About TIBASKO:
It all started with a couple of friends making tunes in their bedroom. Now, TIBASKO have been touted as upcoming stars by some of the biggest names in dance music. Childhood friends since the age of 12, with a shared love of electronic music and production, Ken Petalcorin and Andy Bowden first became acquainted in Hertfordshire’s Welwyn Garden City, but neither could have dreamt they’d be where they are quite so soon.
In his teenage years, Bowden was entranced by minimal and underground electronic music - learning to DJ during his time in the West Midlands at Worcester University. Former indie rock front man/guitarist Petalcorin was born in the Philippines and spent time in Japan before moving to Welwyn Garden City in 2000. With Andy’s knowledge of the dance music scene and Ken’s production skills, they forged a partnership in 2018 and created the Omusaré label to showcase their talent. Incredibly, the smooth Balearic sound of their self-released debut EP, Alma, exploded on Spotify and the twosome were instantly discovered.
By the following year, Alma had collated 1 million Spotify streams, putting TIBASKO firmly on the dance music map. Later that year, they signed to Billy and Al Webber’s Another Rhythm label, where their sound began to morph into a more melodic techno/break beat style.
Throughout 2019/20, a string of singles and EPs such as Imperium, Vertigo, Resistance and Reverie, showcased TIBASKO’s versatile alchemy of dance music styles. The duo were championed by the likes of The Blessed Madonna, John Digweed, and Franky Wah, while being listed as ‘Ones to Watch’ for 2020 by both BBC Introducing and Kiss FM. The pair also seized attention from radio heavyweights such as Annie Mac, Danny Howard, Ben Malone, and Pete Tong who named TIBASKO as future stars for 2021 and had them accompany the accolade with a BBC Radio 1 ‘Future Stars’ mix.
May 2021 saw the release of singles The One, followed by Let Me Tell You in June, firmly establishing TIBASKO’s epic, highly melodic electronic sound, seguing between breaks, electronica, techno and trance. The One has been supported relentlessly by super-producer Diplo on SiriusXM, BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, with the duo also featuring on his Revolution dance music satellite channel with their own TIBASKO Guest Room Mix. Further radio support arrived from Pete Tong, Jaguar, and Kiss FM’s Ben Malone as the track peaked at #9 on Music Week’s Cool Cuts chart.
Represented globally by leading entertainment and media agency William Morris Endeavor, during lockdown TIBASKO live streamed exclusive sets for Jaguar’s ‘Utopia’ and, significantly, DJ Mag HQ who regularly invite some of the world’s best DJs to perform. Meanwhile, Andy and Ken began their post-Covid live comeback with a swathe of DJ shows including The Cause, Queen's Yard Summer Party, Creamfields Festival, Motion Bristol, Detonate Festival and their first European booking at the Poney Club in Toulouse.
In October 2021, TIBASKO released their single Icaro hit new global heights in it’s reception, achieving their first BBC Radio 1 Friday Feature, branded Sarah Story’s ‘Track ID’. A staple track in the sets of Pan-Pot and supported by Rebuke, Syreeta, Jaguar and Pete Tong. This momentum led them to Hibiscus, released soon after in in December. A staple display of melodic emotion, with a switch up of sound design prowess. Both singles included as Billbaord ‘First Spins’, TIBASKO finalised the year being featured in Notion, Mixmag, DJ Mag, and appeared on Beatport’s debut TikTok Live Q&A.
Rightfully storming into 2022, with a Tobacco Dock NYD set no less, TIBASKO’s debut remix package dropped from January to February. Icaro remixes from their close peer ABSOLUTE. and a favourite producer artist of Ken & Andy’s, Australia-based Juno Mamba. Then came their BBC Radio 1 Mini Mix, titled TIBASKO’s ‘Festival Fiesta’, which received outstanding praise and was cemented as one of the most reactive mini mixes aired by Danny Howard.
Confirmed for Snowbombing Festival (Austria), Hideout Festival (Croatia), Boardmasters (UK), Nass Festival (UK), Cultivate Festival (UK), Verve Festival (Switzerland), El Dorado Festival (UK), Fields Of Fantasy (UK) and Queens Yard Summer Party (UK), TIBASKO are on for an exciting UK/EU festival season. After global support in their music in 2021, TIBASKO continue to grow internationally with their live performances and following.
They have also confirmed their debut USA tour for September this year, a staple moment in their touring journey as they look to solidify their place amongst the strongest emerging electronic music artists to be breaking out of the UK.
Focusing on their forthcoming EP until summer takes over, TIBASKO’s eclectic menagerie of styles promises further intriguing shifts in tone as they aspire to reach a deeper emotional connection with their audience.

Today, June 16, American singer-songwriter and actress Alison Sudol shares new single ‘Meteor Shower’ and unveils the details of her upcoming new album, ‘Still Come The Night’, due for release on September 23rd via Kartel Music Group. Stream ‘Meteor Shower’ Here.
https://alisonsudol.lnk.to/StillComeTheNight
Following the release of the deeply personal single ‘Peaches’, as well as her support dates with Goldfrapp at London’s Royal Festival Hall and the UK release of ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore’, in which Alison reprised her role as Queenie Goldstein, ‘Meteor Shower’ is the second single taken from Alison’s forthcoming album ‘Still Come The Night’.
There are the songwriters who wait until a life-changing event happens, before disappearing to inject their entire soul into their work. When Alison began writing ‘Still Comes the Night’, she knew that she wanted to make an album about the different stages of what she was going through. The upcoming album spans the emotions of her journey, from the intensity and thrill of love, to the trepidatious excitement and unknowns of pregnancy, and everything surrounding grief and loss. For Alison the life changing event was her pregnancy ending, which resulted also in a dramatic shift in herself; the instant loss of a life path that she had only moments ago been on.
Driven by a gently propulsive groove, ‘Meteor Shower’ takes the early morning light to capture a distinctive mood of a specific moment in time: the morning after the loss. Written “the morning after the worst night – says Alison, “we were empty, exhausted, numb, yet the early morning light was so soft, the hills blue with frost…impossibly still, so quiet. Even in the depths of grief, I was struck by the beauty of where we were”. An infinite beat, spoken word vocals and pulsing synths take centre-stage in this compelling slice of folktronica.
Alison thinks of ‘Still Come The Night’ as an album for everyone to listen to and connect with, one that’s open and giving in its emotions; she thought about the vast weight of grief that people have carried over these past two years: isolation, fear, sadness, illness, loss of time, and the ensuing rush to resume normal life, without enough opportunity for processing it all. ‘Meteor Shower’ is the album’s poetic finale, book ending the equally hypnotic opener, ‘Bone Tired’.
“It felt like an ending piece, but it also felt like the beginning of something else. Weirdly, even in the moment it didn’t just feel like an ending – there felt like a lot of openness beyond it, the sense of dawn and space and breathing. ‘Now we are here / And now it is now’ is the ending of the record, like ‘this is where we go from’,” explains Alison.

After being a bizarre psychiatrist in his first EP and his interviews on YouTube (among his patients: Jacques, Myd, L’impératrice and Dombrance). The multifaceted artist embodies a new character now: a psychopath perfectly integrated into a sick society. Recalling the funky instrumentals of French icons IAM and the laid-back flow of MC Solaar, the new single “Psychoptahe” will be released with a music video directed by Bolivard.
