Sina Moonlake – Wonderland
“The track fully justifies its name. This is a real country in which the charming vocals reigns -sina moonlake and the indie pop melody. There is no place for evil, in this fairy tale only good, light and hope for the best. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Трек полностью оправдывает своё название. Это настоящая страна чудес, в которой царствует очаровательный вокал -Sina Moonlake- и мелодия Indie Pop. Здесь нет места злу, в этой сказке только добро, свет и надежды на лучшее.”

Sina Moonlake's enchanting new single 'Wonderland' is the soon to be break out hit from this rising Austrian star. An expert singer breaking new ground in the ever changing Alt-Pop genre — her inventiveness is often compared to her older contemporaries such as Lana Del Ray and Billie Eilish, with Sina exploring a wide variety of themes. Her music features a distinct mysticism that separates her more mainstream artists as well as defining her as one of the top talents to watch in the Alternative Pop space.
Her latest release Wonderland sees Sina delve into a world of enchantments, psychedelic sounds and dark lyrics about self-discovery and emotional turmoil; all while still retaining a sense of playfulness that makes for an incredibly unique listening experience.
The music video is an essential accompaniment to Sina's voice with the accompanying visuals portraying the struggles of adults who have lost their childlike sense of wonder and way of looking at the world. Their innocence was taken away from them by life, so they no longer see the beauty in everything around them like children do. Its message is simple but profound – to never lose your inner child.

Kaxi – Hold me down
“The energy of this track pours over the edge, as if a flow of mountain water collapsing on the listeners with its positive vibrations. The vocals lights the flame of fire inside, the rhythm raises body temperature, the atmosphere is heating up and a strong emotional explosion occurs! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Энергия этого трека льётся через край, словно поток горной воды обрушиваясь на слушателей своими позитивными вибрациями. Вокал зажигает внутри пламя огня, ритм поднимает температуру тела, атмосфера накаляется и происходит сильный эмоциональный взрыв!”

Indian-based pop-rock artist Kaxi is back with his new single ´Hold me down´. Kaxi is talking about his self-destructive tendencies and how he's fighting his inner demons. "I’ve become the person I feard the most while my life and music career feels like a movie. I just want to escape my reality and leave the city" says Kaxi. The music is a homage to the 90's punk/rock soundtrack, with hard unbothered guitar riffs, loud powerful drumbeat, and a chorus you want to shout out loud.

Captain Planet, Zuzuka Poderosa, Raphael Futura – Moqueca
“The vocals in such tracks are the most important, because it is he who tunes in the right way, removes gray clouds above your head, and a carpet of flowers blooms under your feet. Feel this music with all your guts, feel how the Global Bass rhythm masters your body and nothing stops you to start dancing to the beat of this melody. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Вокал в подобных треках является самым главным, ведь именно он настраивает на нужный лад, убирает над вашей головой серые тучи, а под вашими ногами расцветает ковёр из цветов. Почувствуйте эту музыку всем своим нутром, почувствуйте, как ритм Global Bass овладевает вашим телом и уже ничто вас не остановит, чтобы начать танцевать в такт этой мелодии.”

Just in time to kick off the Summer, Captain Planet has teamed up with 2 long-time collaborators Zuzuka Poderosa & Raphael Futura for a new Brazilian disco funk song, "Moqueca.” The song harkens back to Brazil's legendary funk parties in the 70's and early 80's - where sound systems bumped legends like Tim Maia, Sandra De Sa & Gilberto Gil - while infusing some fresh contemporary energy and extra thump for today's dancefloors. Zuzuka's bright vocals bounce over a bubbly bassline, syncopated percussion and wormy vintage synthesizers, while an additional punch is brought in the form of horn arrangements by the prolific maestro Todd Simon, another frequent Captain Planet collaborator.
“Moqueca” takes inspiration from the Brazilian dish of the same name, a nationally famous fish stew that varies across the regions of Brazil. In her lyrics, Zuzuka talks about the origins and variations of Moqueca, starting with the style from Espirito Santo, her home state, and continuing to Moqueca Baiana, from Bahia, which incorporates African influences and ingredients. The result is a song that is as much an homage to Brazilian music as it is its food, culture and people.
The song is the first single from Captain Planet's upcoming "Sounds Like Home” EP, which finds the producer turning towards more retro, analogue and live band elements, all with an eye towards his signature “Gumbo Funk” of global sounds. “Moqueca” is out on Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Recordings May 27th.
ooi – In The Dark
“Feel the real freedom of flight along with the new track -oi-, feel how the Lo-Fi Pop melody and Wyb Dream Pop lead you into the thicket of paradise gardens, leaving behind everything that disturbs and bothers you. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Ощутите настоящую свободу полёта вместе с новым треком -ooi-, почувствуйте, как мелодия Lo-fi Pop и вайб Dream Pop ведут вас за собой в чащу Райских садов, оставляя позади всё то, что тревожит и беспокоит вас.”

At such moments, it is very important that next to you is the right music that will help you overcome the crisis and track -phill Reynolds- will be a real friend and your support for you.

Italian singer-songwriter Silva Martino Cantele, will release his new album 'A Ride' on June 17th via Bronson Recordings.
Following first single 'This Isn't Me', Phill has now shared new track 'The Fault is Mine', a haunting confessional delivered with banjo, Fender Rhodes, harmonica and glistening slide guitar.
New album 'A Ride', like all the best concept albums, takes you on a journey. This one concerns the last three days of an American runaway’s life. Part road trip, part engrossing mystery, part search for redemption, it’s the fictional tale of a troubled man whose past comes back to haunt him, as in the best Americana/Alt-Country tradition. 'The Fault is Mine' describes the moment the anonymous fugitive protagonist of 'A Ride' acknowledges his faults and accepts his burden. But even in his darkest hour, he can see a glimmer of light and hope in the distance.
The origins of 'A Ride' go back to 2015. On tour in the US, Reynolds took in the shifting landscapes, the people he met and their stories. All of this fed into the album he recorded at the all-analogue TUP Studio in Brescia, near Milan. Reynolds played almost all of the instruments himself and co-produced 'A Ride' with longtime collaborator Bruno Barcella.
Via eleven chronologically-sequenced songs, we travel with him. There are epiphanies and dream sequences, drunken dive-bar nights and chats with Jesus and Lucifer. As the narrator battles with his own dark side, it is ultimately we, the listeners, who must weigh up and flesh out his story. But it’s important to remember that, on 'A Ride', things may not always be as they seem.

David Bolton – Lines of Escape
“An ideal track in order to escape from pressing reality to the world of music, where there are no rules. Only you and the new track -David bolton-, only freedom in your hands, like a bird in heaven, is only a melody and the wandering rhythm of French pop. Feel the flow of real freedom! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Идеальный трек для того, чтобы сбежать от насущной реальности в мир музыки, где не существует никаких правил. Только вы и новый трек -David Bolton-, только свобода в ваших руках, словно птица в небесах, только мелодия и блуждающий ритм French Pop. Ощутите поток настоящей свободы!”
-Nagamag.com
Artist said about this song:
"Lines of Escape is an edgy electronic song about drug use and abuse. It looks at the progression of drug use from alcohol all the way to heroin and everything in between. I used street nicknames for all the drugs. I was exploring the slippery slope of how and why we tend to get into drugs to the point that we forget that it's merely a symptom of a deeper problem in our lives."

Quatuor Esca – Canopée
“For everyone who loves and appreciates nature and the rustle of green foliage surrounding on all sides on the rise pillars of majestic trees, is dedicated. The singing of violins of a chamber orchestra is done by real miracles. A real musical artist could create such beauty and realize in reality. The magic of neoclassical sound as it is. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Для каждого, кто любит и ценит природу и окружающий со всех сторон шелест зелёной листвы на возвышающихся столбах величественных деревьев - посвящается. Пение скрипок камерного оркестра творят настоящие чудеса. Такую красоту мог создать и воплотить в реальность настоящий музыкальный художник. Магия неоклассического звука как она есть.”

Neon Transmission – Rounding the Digits
“Very slow, so viscous and immersing in yourself Deep House, which is desirable to listen to in the dark. The rhythm leads to itself, the melody fogs consciousness and the previously unprecedented horizons of your imagination are revealed before you. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Очень медленный, такой вязкий и погружающий в себя Deep House, слушать который желательно в тёмное время суток. Ритм ведёт за собой, мелодия туманит сознание и перед вами открываются ранее невиданные горизонты вашего воображения.”
-Nagamag.com
This Deep House track was released on Houph Records today, and the release also features a great remix from Peter Mac.

Amaury Laurent Bernier – Driving to See Dr Char

-Nagamag.com
This is a Neo classical piano driven song, with ambiant strings and soundscapes, featuring the main theme of the Film " Das Leben vor mir", a German Film released two years ago. Nostalgic mood.
