Damien Sebe, Chill Moon Music – Lavender Blue (Spotify)
“Soft chill-hop rhythms and a singing guitar melody. A state of calmness, pacification and enjoyment of being. Music, which conquers any negativity, paints a smile on the face with an invisible brush and accompanies its listener to the very end. Necessarily to acquaintance, sincere work.”
“Мягкие ритмы Chill-hop и поющая мелодия гитары. Состояние спокойствия, умиротворения и наслаждения бытием. Музыка, которая побеждает любой негатив, рисует невидимой кистью на лице улыбку и сопровождает своего слушателя до самого конца. Обязательно к ознакомлению, душевная работа.”

OLI – Don’t Give Up (Video)
“How often have you heard and listened to your inner voice telling you not to give up? This track reminds all of us not to give up and keep going, even if it’s hard and beyond the threshold of a blizzard. Wonderful Dream Pop and insightful vocals that captivate as soon as you dive into them.”
“Как часто вы слышали и слушали свой внутренний голос, который говорил вам не сдаваться? Этот трек напоминает всем нам не опускать руки и продолжать идти, даже если тяжело и за порогом вьюга. Прекрасный Dream Pop и проницательный вокал, которые очаровывают сразу, как только погружаешься в них.”

Since launching last year, OLI’s lush, ethereal soundscapes, expansive and inspired visual perspectives, and non-conformist alt-pop songwriting have earned her critical acclaim.

With a sultry combination of deep bass and swirling synth textures, sitting beneath OLI’s effortlessly cool vocals, the single came as a result of the common experiences shared in 2020 and the sheer resilience OLI observed amongst people. Speaking of the song’s inspirations, OLI said: “I think last year a lot of the feeling was just to keep going and keep your head above water. I felt that around me a lot, friends losing jobs, experiencing periods of bad mental health and somehow pushing on. It made me realise how resilient people are and how little they give themselves credit for it.”

She continues: “I wanted the song to show that, to feel like a voice inside your head letting you know everything will be alright. That we are in this together. If anything, I hope the listener feels a little encouraged after hearing the song.”

The song will arrive with an equally luscious music video. Shot in Finland, OLI wanted to turn the fact that so many people she works with are so far away into a positive, and handed over the reins to Finland based videographer Heini Susanne to create the visually stunning video. OLI said: “I knew we didn’t need to be near to create something great together. The music video was actually filmed in Finland without me there. I wanted Heini to feel like she could do/try whatever she thought would look unique, instead of me instructing her on what I wanted.” The video sees a weary traveller lost in the snow-covered woods, battling his inner demons as he tries to find refuge.

The artwork and press photos for the single were made in collaboration with Gabrielle Salonga, a digital media artist. The pair had OLI pose in front of a green screen, with the 3D elements added in post-production.
OLI moved to London from New Jersey at the age of 2. Growing up in a musical family, she was always encouraged to be creative – writing her first song when she was only 7. Her influences range from the likes of Sade and Dion Warwick to bands such as Stereophonics, Supergrass and Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd. OLI co-writes and produces with legendary producer Benny D (Stormzy, Boy George, Kylie, Plan B, Robbie Williams, Paloma Faith, Depeche Mode).
Gianluca Piacenza – I’m Here with You (Spotify)
“The sounds of a mechanical piano are chilling. This is a real time machine that takes you from the real world to the land of a wizard named -Gianluca Piacenza-. You are left alone with him and his music. Only you, only him and only music.”
“Звуки механического пиано пробирают до мурашек. Это настоящая машина времени, которая переносит вас из реального мира в страну волшебника по имени -Gianluca Piacenza-. Вы остаётесь наедине с ним и его музыкой. Только вы, только он и только музыка.”
-Nagamag.com
Artist said about this song:
"Recorded in my studio (windows opened to let the bird singing from the garden be part of the final sound) with analogue gear on a special felted Petrof upright to obtain a very warm, lo-fi and mellow timbre."

Farves – Dreaming (Spotify)
“The sound you were dreaming is finally out! "Farves" knows well how to entertain his audience with his warm electronic patterns and melodies. An ideal creation for all the fans of Organic House and quite promising track from an upcoming artist.”

The melodic elements convey a positive and hopeful mood, which together create a warm soundscape that extends throughout the entirety of the song.

Porcelain – Say It To Me Softly (Video)
“This latest delivery from “Porcelain” is a promising Downtempo beauty of sound art. Crystal clear elements mixed with harmony and advanced talent, along with soft singing lyrics. Just listen and feel the difference.”
-Nagamag.com

‘’Say It To Me’’ is a song about life, forgiveness, and faith in the face of suffering in a changing world.
The song calls into question the meaning of compassion in the wake of disaster asking what is left when all is lost, in that last moment, what is there to say?

Vocab Slick & The Grouch – Find A Way (Video)
“Life is a journey and we all have to find our way through. The message is clear and “Vocab Slick” has the ability to lead us with his rhymes and words of Hip-Hop power. Awaited for the end of this month, we’re pretty sure “Find A Way” is going to reach a high rank in the scene.”
-Nagamag.com
Vocab Slick reveals the stunning new animated video for his latest single, “Find A Way,” featuring The Grouch and co-production from Nohokai and Starski.
The video is animated by Sunspot Jonz, a multi-talented artist in his own right who reps the Living Legends crew alongside The Grouch. That personal touch makes the visuals resonate even stronger than they already do, especially when you see the moving tribute to the late Steve “Zumbi” Gaines, the beloved Bay Area emcee who died tragically this past August.
The “Find a Way” video also embodies the spirit of the track, which is a reminder that no matter how much we may struggle or feel out of place, we all need a place where we can realign ourselves. And in this clip, we watch as Vocab continues to search for his own spot alongside The Grouch, who spits thoughtful rhymes in his guest verse.
Check out the visuals and head over to your preferred digital retailer or streaming platform to support. Vocab’s new album, Language, is due out on Friday, Oct. 29 on all DSPs via DR Music. The Bay Area emcee is supporting the album release with a West Coast tour that runs Nov 03 to 20 (click here for tour dates).

Lugovskiy – Raven’s Wings (Spotify)
“The feeling of flying over the city, in which colorful lights of night landscapes flicker one after another. The melody leads smoothly, the rhythm makes your breathing quicken and you cannot be stopped. Only you, only heaven and complete freedom. A real musical light for all those who are lost in the dark.”
“Ощущение полёта над городом, в котором один за другим мелькают разноцветные огни ночных пейзажей. Мелодия плавно ведёт за собой, ритм учащает дыхание и вас уже не остановить. Только вы, только небо и полная свобода. Настоящий музыкальный свет для всех тех, кто потерялся в темноте.”
-Nagamag.com
