OVRGRWN – The Riders – Instrumental
(Spotify)

“Retro never sounded so good. Synth me up baby this is the way. Instrumentals as this really make the 80’s vibe pop. ”

Blending the synthscapes of ‘80s film scores with contemporary indie pop, San Francisco-based duo OVRGRWN has developed a remarkable creative formula that is richly atmospheric, sweetly melodic, and frequently willing to tap into its dark side. Balancing a seriousness in the music with genuine enthusiasm, the group’s songs captivate listeners with immersive production techniques and a serene singing style.

OVRGRWN consists of Brandon and Danae, two California natives who met in 2012 when Brandon answered a “drummer wanted” ad on Craigslist to be part of a garage/surf rock project Danae was organizing. The two formed a creative synergy over six years of playing together in the band before branching out into new musical territory with OVRGRWN.

The group’s debut EP, O Well, landed in 2019 and immediately resonated with fans of synthwave and indie pop music. The early success of the album put them on the radar of retro synth label FiXT Neon, which signed the group to a deal in 2020. O Well was re-packaged and re-released through the label later that same year, and OVRGRWN has new material scheduled with FiXT Neon for early 2021.

Gorge, Markus Homm – Holos – Edit
(Spotify)

“An organic deep house vibe. Well designed and executed. Clean layering with superb breakdowns. Instant “on rotation at the club” ”

-Nagamag.com

Poker Flat Recordings keeps up its prodigious release schedule with another superb EP - this time by scene statesmen Gorge and Markus Homm. Gorge (aka Pit Waldmann) is the co-owner of 8bit Records, originally from Mannheim and has carved a singular niche for himself over the past 20-odd years. Similarly. Markus Homm has been deeply influential in developing the scene in his native Romania, and is now working alongside the Poker Flat regular Mihai Popoviciu.

With this EP Gorge and Markus Homm have mer- ged their many talents and honed two tracks of depth and weight. 'Holos' is a tightly wound slice of superior tech house, textured and layered with lush chords and a thick lower end.

'Glint' also showcases the duo's mutual understan- ding of the dynamics of the dancefloor - a slick groove is enhanced and expanded via subtle and effective melodic elements, including a pinch of acidic 303 sounds.

Bror Gunnar Jansson – Eat Me
(Spotify)

“Sweet classic rock sounds with funky grooves. This track has attitude and kicks the door wide open. ”

-Nagamag.com

The song is about a person who takes the expression “you are what you eat” way too seriously. In order not to become someone else the person eats oneself and also offers others to take part of the smörgåsbord. Swedish listeners can probably hear the musical reference to one of Jojje Wadenius most famous children’s songs.

“A summer breeze lifting a feather and carrying it to the tops of a mature pine tree living on the dunes of the Baltic coast. Soft claps and smooth strings highlight the easy flowing nature of this masterpiece. ”

Lynda Carter – Danny’s All-Star Joint

“An upbeat Jazzy tune with true Americana vibe baked in. Her voice is as classic as the Rock n Roll overtones that embrace this swinging good time. ”

Lynda Carter brings her high energy style and flair to this Rickie Lee Jones classic. Upbeat, jukebox, sunny side up, cooking w/ swing kind of music. Carter has new original music on the way, inspired by Wonder Woman 84 (titled 'Human and Divine'), and live shows including Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center coming up soon. She's building her team to make her grand re-entrance later this year in the world of music. She’s out to show what a powerful woman looks like, no matter what age

Claudillea – Habanera
(Video)

“A multidimensional opera vibe. Strong artistic expression with hints of Trap bassline. She has a message and wants to be clear about it. Her voice pulls one in. ”

-Nagamag.com

When deciding which famous aria I wanted to flip for the first single off my debut EP, Carmen’s Habanera was an obvious choice. Carmen was fearless and unapologetically herself – not giving a crap what anyone thought of her, and as an artist, that is exactly what I want to embody. Like most aria’s, this one is timeless, and I hope with the ‘minor scale’ switch-up, young people will dance with disbelief that this was written 146 years ago.
