Trap | RYDEN’s Sophmore Single “Ready” A Strong Follow Up To “Dear God”
Posted by VMan on November 7, 2016
RYDEN previously released her single “Dear God” a few weeks back, a single that had a deep message than most electronic music songs. This time she takes it a step further with ‘Ready”. A single completely created by her from start to finish. The actual sound of her voice is good in itself, making the lyrics easily insert itself into your brain. “Ready” is raw, gritty, tough, and gets more intense as the single progresses.
The orchestral aspects of the single are probably my favorite part, next to the drop, adding a nice little atmospheric that makes tune feel important.
RYDEN received a ton of support on his last single, “Ready” is set to go just as big if not bigger, stay tuned.

Tough Love & Roger Sanchez team up, and recruit Boy George, to release “Hold On,” a groovy deep house banger that will hit you right in the feels. There’s an analogy I like to revert back to every time, when describing this sound; imagine yourself at a club in London 4AM, and then it hits you, you find that new burst of energy to keep you going till the break of dawn, that’s “Hold On” for you. If this is your first time discovering Tough Love, get with the program, they’re taking over the UK house scene, and are currently finishing up their tour in the US. Press play, it’s a must listen!

Posted by VMan on October 31, 2016
Ravell is making big moves in the house scene, per usual, now landing on Kaskade’s (who has over 1m followers on SoundCloud alone) own label Arkade Records.
Ravell’s new single “Get Away” taps into the trippy elements that deep house provides as well as the gritty elements tech house can offer, conveying a powerful feeling throughout that would get any room properly warmed up. Seem to be his overall signature sound as your listen through his discography.
Ravell is LA based, a solo producer, and has been perusing music since the age 12. The dude has serious talent and isn’t slowing any time soon.
