Albums | Jantoje Releases his Verano EP
Posted by VMan on January 24, 2024
Jantoje is the brainchild of Sydney producer Jake Edwards, who is crafting a unique blend of indie-dance/electro-house music that can be likened to a mix between Rufus Du Sol, Odesza and Hayden James. Check out the new EP above now and a quote from the bubbling artist after the jump!
“This track was first started about two or three years ago. It wasn’t until I was going through all my project files from an old computer earlier this year when I came across it again. I had the progression down and added a vocal sample which I liked and chopped it up a bit with some resampling. Even though the song was first started a few years ago it actually came together quite quick and goes to show how your creativity can change overtime. I hope this track makes listeners want to dance at a festival or to go travelling and explore!” ~ Jantoje
Albums | Late Night Therapy Releases Eclectic House single, “Spinning”
Posted by VMan on August 21, 2022
Late Night Therapy is a new project from Australian artist Harry Suttor, who is making a unique blend of electronic music with progressive House elements. If you’re a fan of RUFUS DU SOL, Claptone, and other artists who used sounds within the House space, you will likely be a fan of Late Night Therapy. It’s pretty early on in his career with only 3 releases under his belt, but his new track “Spinning” may just be his best piece of work to date. The song was written during a time of deep introspection after coming out of a long-term relationship. Check out a quote on the single by the rising Aussie talent below now and stream “Spinning” by Late Night Therapy above now!
“I was coming out of a long-term relationship and had decided to take a couple month soff work to go back to my childhood home, a small village near Yamba NSW, where I could slow down and get back to focusing on music for awhile. It turned into a time of deep introspection, looking where I wanted to take my life next. It was also a time of reaffirmed gratitude and appreciation for what music creation brings into my life and the realization that I needed to once again heed the call and make music a priority. ‘Spinning’ is the first of a handful of tracks to come from that time. It’s about the spiraling thoughts that come alongside periods of rapid growth and change.This was also the first time in my musical journey I felt ready to not only produce and mix, but also master my own music. I’ve always had the ambition to learn every aspect of the musical process and it’s finally starting to pay off. I’m starting to make the music I’ve always wanted to. Completely my own vision.” – Late Night Therapy
Albums | Australian Talent 44 Ardent Releases “intothedeep”
Posted by VMan on July 7, 2022
Rising Australian producer has a new EP on the way this August, and to help hold us over until that drops he has released the title track to the forthcoming project via this vibey new track “intothedeep”. If you’re a fan of unique sound design that is house infused (think Four Tet or Tourist), I am very confident you will enjoy the tune above. Check it out now!
“intothedeep is probably my favourite song on the whole record. I was a bit self-indulgent with the synths and the sound design on this one and didn’t hold back! The song sort of sucks you right in with a wall of sound as soon as the drum fill hits and then it spits you back out for a little bit before a totally different wall of sound at the one-minute mark. I’ve mentioned previously that the EP is loosely themed around climate change. I suppose this is the “ocean” song. I can imagine it being played with a powerful stormy ocean in the background.” –44 Ardent
Alternative | Perfectparachutepicture Releases New Single “The Stream”
Posted by VMan on April 16, 2021
Rising alt-rock duo Perfectparachutepicture brings together brash riffy rock music and soft melodic vocals to create sonically powerful songs that are left running around the heads of their listeners. The band’s new track “The Stream” is a record that many new listeners won’t be forgetting anytime soon, with it’s aggressive and in-your-face vibe, it’s a great introductory track. Check out a quote from the band below and watch the music video for “The Stream” above now.
“‘The Stream’ is a song about being pinned down by life, being stuck in a rut, a never ending loop where our existence is questioned so we end up finding meaning in the smallest things. The song is about realising that our life is in our hands and the only person who can change our outcome is ourselves.”
Albums | Chaz Cardigan Releases Futuristic Visual For “Everything’s Wrong”
Posted by VMan on August 2, 2020
As the top comment states “Everything’s wrong but not this video”, and I would have to agree. 2020 has sucked big time, but this song and visual is beautifully trippy. It’s like watching The Matrix on acid and I would expect nothing less from the Nashville native, Chaz Cardigan. The Loud Robot / Capitol Records signee keeps pushing the envelope on his releases while always bridging the gap between Pop and Indie Rock. Check out a quote from Chaz on the song below and watch his video for “Everything’s Wrong” above now!
“‘Everything’s Wrong’ is about not letting a breakdown keep you broken down. There’s liberation in feeling low because things can only get better,” explains Chaz Cardigan. “On ‘Not OK!’ and ‘S.O.S.’ I’ve been talking about repeating cycles and wanting to break them. ‘Everything’s Wrong’ is what it feels like for a cycle to actually break – to say ‘okay, on to the next thing!’ It’s me saying, ‘I accept the chaos, I accept that everything is always changing. I’m going to ride the dragon and change with everything around me.’”
Bass, Jersey Club | Korean Team TOBYNOH, Ovcoco, And Steel Go All In On “Change”
Posted by VMan on June 2, 2017
With a bubbly pop feel, TOBYNOH has teamed up with two other talents to make one of the poppiest, Jersey bass style tracks that you have yet to hear, entitled “Change”. If anybody said the genre is dead, they’re wrong. TOBYOH brings it back with style and grace via his new single “Change.” Ovcoco, Steel, and TOBYOH are a force to be reckoned with and a match made in heaven.
Western-influenced dance music has been taking over South Korea in recent years, these three artists are the latest example of the brewing culture that is happening right now.
Drum & Bass | G-Wizard’s new Drum & Bass tune is more than Good Enough
Posted by VMan on November 3, 2016
For some unknown reason, Drum & Bass never really crossed over to the mainstream in North America, but all that might be about to change. The aptly titled Good Enough, from Australia’s G-Wizard, combines all the energy of traditional D&B, but adds enough pop sensibility to arouse the curiosity of those not well versed in the genre.
Although this is our first time hearing of G-Wizard, he’s been making noise in his homeland for a while now.
