Chill, House | ‘Veneno’ Is A Must-Watch Dance Video Thanks To Gian Varela & Steve Andreas
Posted by VMan on May 15, 2022
“Veneno,” is a infectious song with a catchy flow from the very start all the way to the end. The track reflects a melting pot manifestation, combining multiple styles of multiple artists alongside multiple genre influences. At the root of this experience is Gian Varela pulling together the right team to bring forth a timeless sound and a video experience that tightly latches on to the senses. Although the video itself is easy to understand and is essentially smooth and seamless, the lyrics are in Spanish. With that said, no matter what language you speak, there’s so much visually and sonically that appeals with “Veneno,” that the cross-cultural aspects of this content supersedes the aspects that may not be understood.
Circling back about the audio-aspect, the tune traverses a pleasent space between Latin music, pop, and electronic. Things move easily from one measure to the next, the vocal hooks are easy to get stuck in ones head and the beat relevant and enjoyable.
“I wanted a record that could work globally as a pop-ish record, but make it unique and Latin. So I thought: What would a guaracha record sound like if it were fused with a Dance/Global Pop Record sound? I got to work and “Veneno” was born.”
– Gian Varela
Having performed at EDC Mexico, Beyond Wonderland, and dozens of other clubs, bars, and festivals around the world, Gian Varela is a gift that keeps on giving.

Sierra is building a thicker and thicker catalog, the works currently out showcasing a balance of diversity without straying too far away from one another in terms of connectivity.
“6AM In Vegas,” symbolizes Mt. Sierra’s consistency and dedication to the project. He’s active on socials, has more music lined up, and is on a roll that only seems to be getting better with time. The USA-based artist has years of production experience under his belt, it being clear that he can harness this at moments notice to shrink the gap between what he wants to make and what actually comes out the other end in the studio.

Freya Niamh has revealed her debut EP, featuring 6-tracks the exude refreshing emotional vulnerability and chill vibes. The EP is titled This is Mine to Keep and certainly radiates a therapeutic vibe. Personal and down-right real, the tracks go well together and, in totality, give a clear definition of what Freya Niamh is at as an artist in 2021.
“Benches,” ends up being a personal favorite of the bunch, the eased-atmosphere and somber atmosphere takes the edge off in a way that’s hard to come by. The singer-songwriter comes out full-bloom in this particular track, yet all six carry their own strengths.
Altogether, This is Mine to Keep feels like an EP should, carrying a common arc that links the songs together, rather than it feeling like individualized singles that were tossed together.
Freya Niamh takes inspiration from names like Billie Ellish, dodie, Alice Phoebe Lou, Rex Orange County and Clairo. These influences being broadly detectable through the music.
