Chill, Indie | Florida’s Pagu Showcases Open-Ended Indie-Pop Style In “Tell Me”
Posted by VMan on November 4, 2020
Single “Tell Me” brings together many popular music elements and arranges it in smooth way, the edge built-in giving it a certain ‘pop’ that grabs and holds the ear.
A trait of the Florida Panhandle displayed is his seeming skill to sort-of juggle all the right elements creatively and funnel it down into something distinct and his style, “Tell Me” being one of many singles that feels rendered through a frame such as this.
With genres such as indie-pop/electronic being inspirations, equipped with a sense of modern online culture, and a unique balance music/tech/graphic design skill at his side – Pagu doesn’t leave anything off the table when it comes to what may play into his music and releases.
“‘Tell Me” is about finding purpose and meaning in life. My friends and I are personally sick and tired of being forced to be distracted and stuck in ‘going through the motions’ mode. The song was made in this mindset and sort of rebels against those ideas.”
– Pagu (Jonah Tatum)
Social and streaming channels shows Pagu is hitting some high marks, future success thresholds of his career are more than likely nearer than what appears.
“Tell Me” can be heard in full above.
Future House | Showtek Redies “90s By Nature” Featuring MC Ambush
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 15, 2014
Everyone is making future house tunes, which I can’t be upset about. It’s a new sound (pioneered
largely by Tchami and Oliver Heldens) that artists who previously made generic progressive house nonsense (like Showtek) are now all over. Regardless, this is a fat tune. The only issue I have with it is that a producer named Girls Love DJ’s teamed up with Praia Del Sol to make a “Bigfoot” re-work that was released in September that sounds strangely similar. Of course, all the Soundcloud links are down, however, a Youtube video still exists. Play the two tracks side by side and tell me that isn’t a variation of the same track. I’m not accusing either party of wrong-doing, but something is up. What I find fascinating is that Showtek either scooped the track from these guys or was producing under a new name to avoid detection and criticism from his fan base. “90’s By Nature” drops December 29th.
Trap | RL Grime & What So Not – Tell Me
Posted by mimada on March 7, 2014
All the What So Not collaborations we’ve seen hinted at across social media the past couple weeks following the Aussie festival season and prefacing the American one are *finally* coming to light. But even before the release of this RL Grime and WSN love child, it was pretty obvious that this would be a huge track, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Remember how that “Jaguar” track made you feel a very special type of way? Well this one is like that, but times 10. Each drop gets bigger and bigger throughout the song, so much so that I’m embarrassed to even be listening to this off my laptop as these speakers can hardly do it justice. Hopefully you can do better – like, this much better.
