Deserto Parallax x Adaya – Song Of Fortune
“A lovely song that transfers magic from the distant past in ourdays. Sound based on acoustic instrumentation, emphasizing on guitar and violin chords. The lyrics communicate an important message and more than two voices sing together. Definitely a must to listen.”

Occupy the streets with Deserto Parallax’ „Song of Fortune“
Gather on the streets, people! Let’s be confident!. Is the new song by Deserto Parallax (to be released on the 29. of April) an ode to positive thinking? The people who know the singer Maximilian Tzortzatos and his band, furthermore have seen them live, know the answer to that question.
A colorful and diverse bunch of people in a peaceful parade through the streets of the Lorraine-Quarter in Bern, including Adaya up front, plucking the mandolin. There are groups of kids, women, men, citizens, humans and even some actors and actresses that are known city-wide.
We continue dreaming of freedom, peace and justice.
We will not yield until we have found our fortune.
The folk-song „Song of Fortune“ radiates an aura of Romany music, reminds us of a bard in medieval times or a roadtrip through Ireland. But the topics dealt with in the song are relevant today more than ever and meet the Zeitgeist spot on.
Mit Deserto Parallax auf die Barrikaden “Song of Fortune”
Lasst uns auf die Strasse gehen, voller Leidenschaft und Zuversicht. Die neue Video Single von Deserto Parallax (Release 13.5), eine Hymne an den Positivismus? Durchaus denkbar. Wer den wilden Griechen und Sänger Maximilian Tzortzatos mit seiner Band schon mal Live erlebt hat, kann dies bestätigen. Ein bunter Haufen zieht friedlich durch das Berner Lorraine Quartier, Adaya zupft die Mandoline an vorderster Front. Kinder, Frauen, bekannte Schauspieler/innen ziehen mit. Und während die Löwen brüllen, träumen wir weiter von Freiheit, Frieden und Gerechtigkeit. Nein wir werden nicht von den Barrikaden weichen, bis wir unser Glück gefunden haben.
Der Folk Track „Song of Fortune“ versprüht Gipsy Feeling, erinnert an die mittelalterlichen Minnesänger oder an einen Road Trip durch Irland, spielt aber im Hier und Jetzt und trifft den Nerv der Zeit.

Clancy Jones – Mexican Gold
“Inspired from everyday life sceneries and events, the new single from "Clancy Jones" is heading towards the top. A creative mix of fast percussion patterns and lyrics of catchy rhymes will drive you through places of wild West. Original Americana sound with personal style.”
-Nagamag.com
Born on the Southeast Texas Coast, Clancy Jones was steeped in a family heritage rich in songwriting and music-making. He handcrafts his lyrics from everyday walks of life and his songs are heart-worn and road-tested. By blending the genres of Americana, blues, folk, and rock and roll, Clancy has created his own unique melting pot of sound.
The Speaker Wars Featuring Stan Lynch – Never Ready To Go
“A serious production is out from "The Speaker Wars" and no fan of Rock should miss it. Wild riffs of electric guitar and explosive drums are carefully mixed with vocals of passion. We also felt a nostalgic touch in this sound and highly recommend listening on repeat.”
-Nagamag.com
The Speaker Wars are an Americana-Rock band formed by Stan Lynch (founding member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and Texas singer-songwriter, Jon Christopher Davis (aka JCD).
"When JCD brought the song in, we knew we'd have to cut it live off the floor, old school. He called Andy and we went at it. Andy is a jewel. Has the gift of knowing exactly what to play and loves to drill straight down to the groove. That was the first time I'd been behind a kit since cutting with the Heartbreakers. Took me a day to find my legs. We all knew this could be something special. It's only gonna get better" - Stan Lynch
JCD muses: “My high school sweetheart, and partner of 36 years, is the inspiration behind the song. Anytime I’m with her, I'm never ready to go. I played a Gibson Les Paul, Fender P bass, and cut the lead vocal on a Shure 57. Andy's playing lead on his vintage Epiphone, Jay Brown brought it home on the B3 and Wurlitzer. After a couple of takes, we had it. Fresh yet vintage. I grew up on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, so seeing Stan behind the drums was cool. He hits like no other and plays on the back of the beat –– which I love. It’s greasy."
The catchy guitar riff, skillful drumming from Stan, and deep vocals from JCD, create an itch in your head that can only be scratched by playing the song over and over again. The dynamic lyricism and musicality are what’s going to prove once again that rock never dies.

Eli Lev – Singing Along for the First Time
“In less than three minutes, "Eli Lev" has managed to state the importance of music and its influence on our lives. Lovely melodies of guitar strings, fused with energetic lead vocals and background choir in the most exciting mood.”
-Nagamag.com
Artist said about this song:
"Singing along for the first time is a story about musical discovery. When we realize what music can do to our hearts and souls and bodies, there's this new yet ancient reckoning of us re-becoming our human selves and what it means to be part of the larger community of humanity. This song celebrates how music can light us up, make us feel connected, and come alive in the moment."

DRCY – Small Talk
“"DRCY" drops her new release, full of shinny vocals and sophisticated sound. A single made from Jazzy instrumentation, playful mood and extra echoing lyrics. The artist has managed to present the very first magic moments of getting to know an interesting person.”
-Nagamag.com
Following the release of her debut single ''Butterflies'', DRCY is unveiling her latest single “Small Talk”. Narrating the early stages of a relationship, where your time is spent just getting to know someone and discovering what’s so great about this certain individual, “Small Talk” sparkles with the excitement of new love.
Influenced by the likes of Mahalia, Daniel Caesar and Olivia Dean, the track shimmers with buttery vocals which melt atop a groovy upbeat bassline and Jazzy instrumentation, resulting in the ultimate move-inducing, vibey anthem.
Glassio – Queen of the Silver City
“The upcoming producer-songwriter “Glassio” invites us in his electronic world through disco drum machines, feathery vocals and vintage-styled synth waves. A unique opportunity to escape from daily madness and rejuvenate your spirit.”
-Nagamag.com
Glassio’s debut single “Try Much Harder” broke the Spotify Global Viral Charts in early 2016 (peaking at No. 9). A series of successful singles followed in 2017 and 2018, garnering over 5 million streams cumulatively on Spotify. The release of the singles “Morning House,” “Daydream” and “Back for More” brought Glassio to the top tier of up and coming electronic artists in NYC. They were soon opening for acts like Fujiya and Miyagi, Electric Youth and Miami Horror. “Daydream” became a dance-hit in Latin America, making it to No. 1 on the Dominican Republic iTunes Charts and finding itself on New Music Friday South America. 2018 saw the group perform at SXSW festival, where they were named one of the best electronic acts by Ladygunn Magazine.
After the project became a solo effort in 2018, Sam R. released the Age of Experience EP, heralded by Mother Jones as “proof that electronic music and great storytelling are a perfect match.” The EP has over 5 million streams across all platforms and features the song “Back for More,” featured on HBO’s Here & Now show.
A debut album, For The Very Last Time, was released in July of 2020. It was subsequently named one of the best electronic releases from July 2020 by Bandcamp, and received praise from blogs like Consequence of Sound and Fader. The lead singles “Nobody Stayed for the DJ” and “A Million Doubts” both made it to No. 1 on Hype Machine. The first of the two scored popularity amongst some of Spain’s biggest DJs (Amable, Hal9000, Nacho Ruiz) and the second achieved over 1 million streams between Apple and Spotify within it’s first 6 months of release. Renowned music blog “This Song Is Sick” named it “an immaculate piece of art.” It features backing vocals from Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Daneshevskaya.
His sophomore record See You Shine, a 17-song album that documents the exodus of a young adult out of a small town that shuns them for their beliefs and into the depths of the deserts of Arizona, looking for a new life in a distant city is out now. The record also addresses themes of resilience in the face of grief/loss – brought on by the pandemic – and is dedicated to his late father. The album’s sound marries Glassio’s passion for French and British electronic music with singer-songwriter tropes akin to Jackson Browne, or Wilco.
Outside of Glassio, Sam R. has co-written and produced songs with French Horn Rebellion, Clubhouse, warner case, NAKAYA and Madelyn Darling.

King Caesar – Never Again
“Unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world. On the other hand, selfishness or human exploitation can be found everywhere. "Never Again" is a track dedicated to self-protection.
