Alternative | Berne turn up the ‘heat’ with debut climate change EP, ‘STAY’
Posted by VMan on October 6, 2020
Berne expertly combine a distinct mix of abstract and often cerebral lyricism with emotive, vivid imagery, haunting harmonies and dark melodies on their new environmentally friendly ‘STAY‘ EP. The result is an incredibly distinct sonic atmosphere, underpinned by a tenor of unity and collective responsibility towards the planet. The 4 track project (including a fifth track that is an acoustic version of the single “Oceans”) explores important themes that are well worth diving into. Check out a quote from the rising duo below and stream their debut EP above now.
“Our debut EP is a reflection of what keeps us up at night. It comes at a time when humans need to work together towards common goals more than ever. We really believe that small changes will collectively make a big impact and that is the common thread in all the songs.” – Berne.

House | Money Money – “Spend It”
Posted by VMan on September 16, 2020
Purveyors of promiscuously energetic sound, Money Money burst onto the scene with their debut single “Spend It.” The NYC-born-and-raised duo take Fergie’s iconic lyrics from The Black Eyed Peas’ “My Humps” and craft it into their own whirlwind of a track. Featuring pulsating basslines and hot 808s, “Spend It” is quite the powerful way to step onto the worldwide scene.
You’re going to want to turn your speakers up way loud for this one.
“There’s no better way for us to introduce ourselves than with the pulsating baseline in ‘Spend It.’ We channeled our love for the raw energy of house music into this track, and we are thrilled for this release that represents the beginning of this new musical journey.” – Money Money

It’s about realising that when you’re hungry for more and really do it just for pure enjoyment and happiness, that’s when you start moving forward.”
Bass | Draeden Makes His Original Debut With Conquest EP
Posted by VMan on July 15, 2019
The Montreal producer Draeden has made his original debut with the four part Conquest EP. Released on Kannibalen Records, this project technically sees Draeden return to the imprint after an official remix for Sullivan King that was his first official release. The remix was incredible, but in seeing Draeden work with completely original material and bringing to life a concept EP like Conquest is magnificent. Draeden’s multi-genre approach blending classical with bass for a truly cinematic sound is something special that I hope to hear more of very soon! For now, I’ll be enjoying Conquest to the fullest.

Berklee School of Music is a breeding ground for young talent. It’s hard to keep tabs on everyone who comes out of there, but the NorCal raised Jack O’Brien of is a name you’ll need to know. The recent graduate made his way back across the US, but ended up settling in Seattle and created his debut project, Boo Hoo. The release is made up of five singer/songwriter tracks that keep a simple, chill tone. The minimal style works because of Jack’s immense talents that we hope to see more of as time passes.
