Here in the dojo we’re always about supporting newer artists and you can’t get more new than a debut, like what we have for LA’s Ian Everson. Well, it’s a bit of a re-debut but all the time – his new single “Sunrise” is a must have heater as we move towards the colder months.

“Sunrise” is a playfully smooth original fully created from start to finish by the incredibly talented producer/singer. Having made huge strides on the songwriting side of things, as well as recent features with Boombox Cartel and professional skater + producer Elliot Sloan, Ian’s latest career chapter is flourishing while “Sunrise” puts even more gas on the flame.

[Electro / House] Marc Antonix – Shooting Stars

It’s safe to say LA is where Marc Antonix finds his spark. He’s soaked in the city’s energy and turned it into something all his own. His music moves through house, electro, and bass like it’s second nature. There’s always an edge of experimentation. The basslines hit hard. The production flow doesn’t follow the usual path. His work keeps you on your toes, always ready for what comes next.

“Shooting Stars” is a good example of what Marc does best. It has these nostalgic chords that pull at your memories, but then the drops come in and take things up a notch. It feels perfect for the club but also has a kind of meaning that sticks with you. The track plays with that balance between hitting hard and moments of solitude – creating a ‘tension and release’ type of flow that is simply on point.

Marc Antonix is on the rise. His tracks have racked up millions of streams. He’s closed out shows for Alan Walker and opened for Matisse & Sadko. Big names like Bingo Players and The Chainsmokers are giving him support, and his presence on stage is only getting stronger.
