Albums | Midnight Pool Party drop new single, “ON YOUR MIND”
Posted by VMan on July 31, 2023
“ON YOUR MIND” opens with an infectious energy, drawing us into Midnight Pool Party’s signature disco soundscape. The groovy beats and funky basslines immediately set the stage for an irresistible dancefloor anthem. However, as the song unfolds, it becomes apparent that the duo has seamlessly incorporated modern dance and house elements, elevating their sound to a whole new level of excitement.
This single marks a significant return to Midnight Pool Party’s roots, showcasing their mastery of disco-inspired vibes. Fans of their earlier work will be delighted by the nostalgic undertones that effortlessly flow throughout the song. Simultaneously, the addition of pulsating house beats injects a fresh and contemporary touch, making “ON YOUR MIND” a standout track that bridges the gap between the past and the present.
“We went away in March and booked a house up the coast away from the big city to write bunch of music. This track was one that came out of that writing session. We pretty much wrote the demo in half hour. It started off as a simple chord progression and a beat we put together. Ollie left me with the beat for half an hour and I wrote the song on the balcony within 20 minutes. After we fleshed it out a bit, we felt it was catchy and was a strong single.
The song is basically about lingering on someone else’s mind after a relationship has ended, but you have healed and moved past the point of questioning why it ended, and realising after everything that’s been said and done, you are better off now without that person, and that maybe this was your destiny.
I think a lot of people can relate to that journey and everyone has their moments where they can acknowledge they have finally moved on and can let go” – Midnight Pool Party

Albums | Steven Chelliah Shows Off His Own Music Genre In ‘Fuzasian’
Posted by VMan on July 21, 2023
Deep in the heart of Tanjore, India, where the sacred threads of Indian Carnatic music intertwine with history, Steven Chelliah’s lineage was written. Born into a family of Carnatic music composers, Steven’s initiation into the musical realm began tenderly at the age of six. However, it wasn’t just a tradition he was stepping into; it was the inception of an inventive journey.
Chelliah, a double alumnus of the revered Berklee College of Music, honed his craft under the illuminating guidance of industry stalwarts such as Mike Stern and Maria Schneider. But his education went beyond the halls of Berklee. He absorbed the theoretical genius of Joseph Schillinger and George Russell, and their influence on him is palpable.
His creation, the FuzAsian® Method, is a testament to his creativity and dedication. This avant-garde approach weaves Indian scales into the rich tapestry of Jazz, allowing for a chromatic and harmonic voyage that’s hitherto unexplored. With NYC’s Heights Music International publishing his authoritative text on the method, Steven’s name resounded in academic and musical circles alike.
But Chelliah is not just a theoretician. His album, FuzAsian, is a melodious echo of his evolution as a songwriter and vocalist. Here, Fusion Jazz doesn’t just meet songwriting; they dance in an entrancing embrace. Its lead single, “Dreams of Yesterday,” reminisces about the pursuit of the Californian dream, the notes speaking to Steven’s multifaceted ideals. From his guitar strains to the orchestrations that carry the scent of Quincy Jones’ legendary touch, every track feels like a timeless piece, echoing the legacies of Barry Gibb and Paul McCartney.
Chelliah’s touch is everywhere on the album. From its conceptualization to its engineering, with co-producer James Knoerl by his side, FuzAsian is Steven’s heart laid bare. It’s no wonder he holds a voting seat at the Grammy Recording Academy’s table.
In FuzAsian, Steven Chelliah isn’t just presenting an album; he’s offering a bridge – from the ancient rhythms of Tanjore to the bustling Jazz clubs of America. And what a magnificent bridge it is.

Posted by VMan on July 2, 2023
SoCal producer jordnmoody is making his debut on FUXWITHIT with the massive new single ‘Rolldro.’ Hot off performances at Lightning In A Bottle and The Untz Festival, and with releases on Wakaan, Jadu Dala, Bassrush, and more, jordnmoody has been steadily ascending the ranks of bass music’s finest.
‘Rolldro’ is a hypnotic and intoxicating anthem that’ll have you coming back for more. The simple yet effective pitched-down vocal sample gives the track a gritty hip-hop swagger and instant familiarity. The melody and playful percussion create a sense of intrigue as haunting vocal bends add to the dark beauty. The drops see chest-pounding low end intertwined with brain-bending sound design for a heavy-hitting bass sound. Blurring the boundaries of speaker rattling banger and laidback head-nodder, ‘Rolldro’ is at home in any setting.
“There was a period last year where I locked myself in the studio to whip up as many new tunes as possible before playing LIB, this was one of those tunes. I just came off writing a couple atonal type tracks and wanted to try something on a more melodic tip but still have a bit of grit to it. So, this was the end result of all that I guess haha.”
