Falcon Butler – That’s You
“Do you know who you really are? Where are you going, what are your dreams and goals? On the way to self -knowledge, many issues are solved by music and this acoustic indie folk is just the perfect option to think about the most important thing - what is the meaning of being? (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“А вы знаете, кто вы на самом деле? Куда идёте, какие у вас мечты и цели? На пути к самопознанию многие вопросы решает музыка и этот акустический Indie Folk просто идеальный вариант, чтобы задуматься о самом главном — в чём смысл бытия?”

Nevada System – Arvense
“Carrying an essence from pure nature "Arvense", blooms like flower under the morning Sun. Favourite House featuring organic waves of sound, led by eerie vocals. Concentrate on listening and you'll feel the soft touch of those vibrations.”
-Nagamag.com
"Arvense" is a beautifully constructed song akin to its name, a herbaceous perennial plant. The track uses a myriad of organic strings and sounds to build its sonic atmosphere around ethereal vocals. The shimmering opening is set in a mythical forest and slowly progresses into deep evocative house. This is NevadaSYSTEM at its finest, utilizing production prowess to write moving music that simultaneously transports the listener to a nostalgic escape into the paradise of nature.

Plaster Cast – Control
“The new release from “Plaster Cast” is a hypnotic call into Synthwave and Indie. The vocal duet will steal your impression and create a relaxed, cozy atmosphere. Concentrate on this smooth sound and discover its value in less than three minutes!”
-Nagamag.com
Next week Plaster Cast is announcing their new EP Control, which is set for an August 12th release. It follows the release of Performance in 2016 on Zoom Lens, which made its way to the likes of Gorilla Vs Bear, The Fader, Vice and more.
The new EP expands the sound, becoming both a version of timeless pop for lone bedroom sessions or anthemic festival choruses, akin to peers like Chromatics, girl in red, and Yumi Zouma. An intersection of warmth and isolation conveys Plaster Cast’s desire to acknowledge their own literal and symbolic closeness and distance, each member shaped by their own reality and locations (LA, NYC, Pacific Northwest, Midwest) and bringing it to a common forefront.
They are releasing the title track “Control” next Tuesday — a real Balearic meets bedroom juxtaposition — complete with a fitting video to go along with it.
Stage of Theed – All I’ll Ever Want
“A bright palette of electronic melodies, driven by a deep kick and emotional vocals is out to entertain all fans of retro synth sound. Positive vibrations and words of love, fill the air with energy and rejuvenate our minds. That's "All I'll ever want"!”

Cameron Thias x Amanj Azarmi – A Big House
“With melodic guitar, distinct rhythm and friendly lyrics, Amanj and Cameron have created a happy single. Adult Contemporary style, influenced by Deep House in the most inviting way. Words of trust which can easily become memorable.”
-Nagamag.com
Amanj and Cameron happened to meet in town one day. They found out they are neighbors and both produce music. This is the first song the two did together.
Well Dressed Spirits – Salt in the Air
“"Well Dressed Spirits" take us on a journey in the wild nature, where everything is green and the air clean. This Country production delves into our subconscious, offering a chance to escape from our everyday prison. Thumbs up for the guitar solos and background vocals too.”
-Nagamag.com
An Americana song with a southern rock tinge. The song tells the story of leaving town for greener pastures and trying to rationalize the related guilt.
Luke Klifman – Rota Fortunae
“Influenced by the power of fate, Luke creates with intensely personal touch. Philosophic thinking and Alt Country style which can affect every anxious mind or simply reveal a hidden aspect of this world. Don't miss this sound!”
-Nagamag.com
At first glance the track appears as a familiar folk rock sound. By the chorus, though, it’s clearly a fresh take. Rota Fortunae is the wheel of fortune, i.e. fate, and the lyrics contemplate this phenomena, begging the question whether anything is actually random, or rather a culmination of inflection points—little decisions, meaningless on their own but impactful in sum. All musical parts combine to create an enchanted summer sound, transporting the listener to Midwestern summer nights—a place they’ll recognize and relish regardless of whether they’ve ever been.
Co-produced by Luke Klifman and Andy Reed (of The Verve Pipe)

MØR – CHOP IT UP
“Feel and hear how the bass melody draws a simple but hypnotic pattern. The vocals seem to read out the spell, the rhythm extends the boundaries of your consciousness and the soil goes from under the feet. And a deep, slow, but confident immersion in the track begins. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Почувствуйте и услышьте, как мелодия баса рисует простой, но гипнотический рисунок. Вокал словно зачитывает заклинание, ритм раздвигает границы вашего сознания и почва уходит из-под ног. И начинается глубокое, медленное, но уверенное погружение в трек.”
-Nagamag.com
CHOP IT UP is the debut single from the Copenhagen based duo MØR.
This electronic and dancy track, addressing numbness and ignorance, embraces the revolt. An invigorating, boost with a touch of melancholy, filled with analog drum machines and synths.
MØR consist of Danish singer and performancemaker Anika Barkan and Swedish electronic musician and composer Mika Forsling.

“What emotions can the tracks be caused by Disco genre? Of course extremely positive! His rhythm dictates his rules, does not allow to sit in one place and every time you want to sit down and relax, your body will raise you again! Add here young and energetic vocals and in front of you is a real hit for all seasons! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

LAWRN – Best Friend
“Light, with nostalgic notes of Synthpop, in which a very flat, calm and warm atmosphere prevails. As if you are on the shore of a calm ocean, the last rays of the sun are warming your back, whose fire ball goes beyond the horizon. And somewhere there, in the distance the vocal line -lawrn-, recalling something good. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Лёгкий, с ностальгическими нотками Synthpop, в котором преобладает очень ровная, спокойная и тёплая атмосфера. Словно ты на берегу спокойного океана, спину согревают последние лучи солнца, чей огненный шар уходит за горизонт. И где-то там, вдали растворяется вокальная линия -LAWRN-, напоминая о чём-то хорошем.”
