“Harmonic arp layering carefully selected with the right notes and soft sound set of groove, a bass line which daftpunks to get into the main story of sweet piano melody. Bit creates a wonderful chill atmosphere to laid back and dream the stars!”

“Christian Cohle with his new single -Drown Me Slow- under N-6 Records impress us with his exuberant vocals with a partly tender roughness in some tension chorus, pushed above a minimal music layering which is the right one for the wide depth of this vocal atmosphere. Mesmerizing!”
-Nagamag.com
Drown Me Slow, is Cohle's final single release of 2020 after releasing a brace of debut singles, that have made waves on the music blogs. Early next year will come Cohle's debut album Holy Trouble, where Cohle will continue to cement himself as one of the most exciting electronic artists to land into music this year.
Full of ear candy and electro heartbeat like arpeggios, Drown Me Slow is cinematic and rich in its soundscapes, all layering and moving under Cohle's immensely powerful vocal, beautifully melodic and intricate, the song eventually drowns and trails out into the abyss into a gorgeous Brian Eno like soundscape.
One central idea to Drown Me Slow, is the unwillingness to let go of something, even after it has long left you. You become fixed on it and stare at it often as one can do with a distant star. The longing for it becomes more special than the reality of it itself, because perhaps it’s not even there anymore.

“What we initially loved here is that Tropic, was not afraid to step bit out of the usual form of pop music, and experiment more with the sound and style of the beats and togher with their hookiest qualities on their vocal performance, offered us a beautiful memorable song with their new single -Down-”
-Nagamag.com
Brooklyn-based duo Tropic have made an impressive return with new single “Down”. Tropic, which is formed of electronic producer/DJ Phuse and R&B singer-songwriter Jo-B Sebastian, once again showcase the stunning lyricism and sensual vocals that have garnered support from industry tastemakers and helped them amass millions of streams across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and more since their 2018 debut.
Blending R&B textures, electronic landscapes, pop hooks and funk rhythms courtesy of Phuse's slick, luscious production and Jo-B's poetic lyrics and irresistible melodies, "Down" looks set to be another hit to add to the duo’s striking collection. It follows previous 2020 releases "Lights Out (Redux)", "Always Be My Baby", "Secret" and "Paradise".
Speaking on “Down”, Tropic explained, "‘Down’ is a coming of age story, written from the perspective of someone forced to grow up too soon. The transition of summer to fall always leaves us with a lingering melancholy, and with ‘Down’ we mirror the changing of seasons with a song that laments the memories and people we try so hard to leave behind but can’t seem to let go of."
“Down” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/tropic1/down-3

“Kowan with -Best Of Worst- takes the right groove and melodic elements of trending styles of instrumental hip hop and lofi chill hop and vocals above with the the good old school style, which warms up our heart instantly, at least us which we have been in these days of music history. Yet with contemplative lyrics invite us to get the best of the worst, a valued message for these weird days. ”

“Skip your cheap headphones here, open your quality monitors or headset, don't hesitate to give bit volume. The sound quality here and the right sound set used here erupts all the beauty of harmonics layers. Listener steps into an emotional diving of grooves that hypnotize him in an endless music trip. Wonderful music from intro_p with -Promises- on Introp Music imprint.”
-Nagamag.com
Intro_p is back out of his rabbit hole with 2 brilliantly soothing and absorbing tracks for his 9th EP called “Promises”. This EP underlines the common values of humanity, even if we have different cultures, religions, social backgrounds, etc. At the end of the day, we all have similar attitudes towards promises. It is ironic though, that “promises” are made by political leaders to divide us.
“-Kasablanca- with their latest ep release – Human Learning- in -Armada Electronic Elements- , and the track title we blog here, invite us in their lush world of melodic harmonies, heartwarming vocals and daydreaming atmospheres. All blended together brilliant under a care mix with clarity which let you feel the groove and softness of sounds.”
-Nagamag.com
After a year of stellar releases, and their anthem collab, “run” with Lane 8, Kasablanca, delivers their debut EP “human learning” with an incredible visual teaser.
Kasablanca
Blurring the line between progressive and melodic techno with their debut 2020 release, “Hold Me Close” Kasablanca taps into 80’s analog synth nostalgia with the first song off their debut upcoming EP, “Human Learning”.
Launching on Armada’s Electronic Elements sublabel, not much is known about Kasablanca. Self described as an “Audio visual experience”, Kasablanca’s musical identity comes from their use of melodic retro textures combined with the rhythmic fundamentals of house & techno. Blending genres and influences like Rufus De Soul and ARTBAT with the attitude of acts like Justice and Kavinsky, their debut EP, Human Learning is already garnering the support of underground and main stage DJ’s alike. The identity of Kasblanca may be hidden, but you can expect their sounds to be at every corner of this realm.

“The first impression you receive with Lainey Dionne on her new single Skin, is the quality and softness of both vocal and music/groove layering. Sensual, elegant and memorable with chorus of saying -Skin- giving you goosebumps, a song where harmonies and qualities are abundant. ”
-Nagamag.com
Skin is about what it feels like to be in a toxic relationship. You are depressed and hiding it, becoming numb, and then being in denial about how toxic this is and you don’t know how to get out.
Lainey Dionne is a Providence based cover artist and singer/songwriter. Her debut record, Can't Refuse - EP, was released in 2016 and is available on iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming services. She writes the "sort of music that immediately makes you forget that you left a burning oven on, or should be doing something productive. Music that will make you forget about everything else and just listen" (Verge Media). Can't Refuse- EP is an honest and vulnerable look at love and life through a twenty-something singer/songwriters eyes.
Her debut album was featured on HomeBru'd, a segment for New England's leading alternative radio station, WBRU.

Her band toured the East Coast in the summer of 2017 debuting new material along with her EP. Originally from Smithfield, RI, she has been studying the piano since the age of six, and along the way, has picked up several other instruments including violin, ukulele, harmonica, mandolin, dulcimer, cajon, and guitar. Lainey provides private lessons of vocals and the instruments she plays at True Music Studios.
