Andrew Lewinter x New London Chamber Ensemble – Woodwind Quintet No: 1: II Dumka. Andante

Comakid – Full HD Hugs feat. Brooke Howard
“Yes, you fell into the arms of the broken rhythms of IDM and Glitch music. If you manage to solve this incredible riddle and catch each sound, simultaneously laying it into components, then you are exactly the same genius as the authors of this amazing track!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Да, вы попались в объятия ломаных ритмов IDM и Glitch музыки. Если у вас получится разгадать эту невероятную загадку и уловить каждый звук, попутно раскладывая его на составные части, то вы точно такой же гений, как и авторы этого потрясающего трека!”

“Full HD Hugs”, which is also the title track of Comakid’s upcoming EP, is one of the most alluring songs out of his latest releases.
Understated and dusty, yet also elegant and driving, the single features Brooke Howard on vocals and the result of this collaboration is nothing but memorable.
Supported by the throbbing, somewhat industrial rhythm, Brooke’s voice floats effortlessly over a mix of gritty and mesmerising synths, drawing the listener in during the verses then launching into the open chorus hook.
One can definitely hear Comakid’s versatility and wide range of influences through this tune which can easily fit in selections from lovers of various electronic music genres. The producer also just dropped "Hyper Real" on Ableton, a pack of instruments, effects and live sounds that has been making waves among the community of music makers.
Preceding the much anticipated EP, “Full HD Hugs” ft Brooke Howard will be out everywhere on July 13th via DRRT Records,
"What started the process of writing this song was a feeling of being observed, spied on, constantly scanned by technology. I imagined two lovers living the beginning of their story in a state of complete secrecy. Trying to keep everything hidden from both people around them and from that ever-present feeling of a third party ,“entity”, constantly spying on them through technology. Ultimately, the song plays on the contrast between a very modern topic and a deliberately old and out-dated overall aesthetic as it sounds dusty, lo-fi and somehow belonging to a different era." // Comakid

Danger Twins – Thing of Beauty

“Если ритм этого трека не заставил биться ваше сердце сильнее, значит вы слишком тихо слушали его. Делайте громче, отойдите подальше и почувствуйте вибрации звука в воздухе, которая проходит сквозь ваше тело!”

Emei – That Girl
“Do you know the feeling when a huge, ice wave covers you? The sensations that this explosive track gives from -emei are similar and there is nothing better than to cheer yourself with an adrenaline wave early in the morning. Perhaps this track will replace many a cup of your favorite coffee!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Вам знакомо чувство, когда вас накрывает огромная, ледяная волна? Ощущения, которые дарит этот взрывной трек от -Emei- аналогичны и нет ничего лучше, чем взбодрить себя адреналиновой волной рано утром. Возможно, этот трек заменит многим чашечку любимого кофе!”

Thrilled to send you the upcoming single from Los Angeles alt-pop meets rock Chinese American singer/songwriter Emei. Entitled “That Girl”, the single was “written on a whim after weeks of trying to keep a habit checklist and failing miserably. The pop rock inspired anthem encapsulates the energy of wanting so badly to be that girl who wakes up at 6 AM, goes on walks every morning, and drinks coffee black but never getting to that unattainable goal,” confides Emei.
Emei is an alt-pop singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles. Her clearcut lyrics and cheeky tone guarantee listeners to press replay. But even before she started writing, Emei developed incredible stage presence from her experience competing on Chinese Idol at 15. After receiving third place on the show through months of stadium shows, Emei began releasing her own music on Chinese platforms and eventually performing on Dancing with the Stars of China. When Covid hit, Emei started releasing new music on American platforms, gaining media coverage on Ones to Watch, Early Rising, and Lyrical Lemonade. Emei’s single, “Late to the Party”, hit 4.1M streams after videos of her performing the song live hit a collective 9.5M views on Tiktok and Instagram Reels. This landed Emei on the cover of Fresh Finds Pop and her music on Big on the Internet, Pop Sauce, Young & Free and more. Her next single, That Girl has already reached 13K presaves with 3M views on Tiktok and Instagram Reels.
Some of her recent collaborators include Myles Avery, Gnash, Rob Auerbach, KiNG MALA, Jack Laboz, Luka Kloser, Jordan Lewis, LIIV, Pom Pom and others!

MANI x Maha Taheri – MA
“Hypnotic Trip-Hop with a magic vocal that comes from the very bowels of the duet -mani and Maha Taheri-. Music, which forms the images of a soul wandering somewhere and soars separately and regardless of the human essence.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Гипнотический Trip-Hop с волшебным вокалом, который исходит из самых недр дуэта -MANI и Maha Taheri-. Музыка, которая формирует образы странствующей где-то души и парит отдельно и независимо от человеческой сущности.”

Sean Magwire – For the City
“In this melody, the shades of something important inherent only to the human soul are heard. These are not just the words of the song, but the real prayers that are accompanied by the beautiful music of Country and the mental vocals -sean magwire-.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“В этой мелодии слышны свойственные только человеческой душе оттенки чего-то важного. Это не просто слова песни, а настоящие молитвы, которые сопровождаются красивой музыкой Country и душевным вокалом -Sean Magwire-.”
-Nagamag.com
This is a song that chronicles a young man's move from rural America to the big city and the differences between values, motivations, and dreams.
