[Electronic] Disco Fries & HARBER – Falling For You

In the realm of music, certain creations carry with them a pulse – a resonance that captures more than just the moment, but the zeitgeist of an era. Disco Fries and HARBER’s latest collaboration, “Falling For You,” emanates with this very pulse. Yet, before delving into the track’s musical details, one might ponder on the moniker ‘Disco Fries.’ Rooted in the triviality of a late-night snack, Nick Ditri and Danny Boselovic’s choice seems more like an ode to pop culture’s quirkiness than a fleeting indulgence.

Now, steering back to “Falling For You.” The track isn’t merely a song; it’s an experience. One that’s led by a piano, invoking a sense of nostalgia, but equally, pushing the tempo to an upbeat dance crescendo. The genius lies in its dichotomy, in its ability to tug at the heartstrings while beckoning the feet to dance. Sydtherockerkid’s haunting vocals serve as the backbone, echoing sentiments that, perhaps, we’ve all felt but seldom voiced.

Drawing parallels, HARBER’s recent hit “Medicine” and Disco Fries’ “Another World” serve as musical touchstones that paved the way for “Falling For You.” But it’s the latter that’s poised to etch itself into the annals of musical memory.

As the melody fades and the echoes subside, one can’t help but feel that “Falling For You” encapsulates more than just notes and lyrics. It’s a reflection –  a chapter in the ever-evolving tome of pop culture’s auditory journey. With every replay, the tale unfolds a little more. Listen closely.

[Melodic Bass] Hidden Axis & Medyk – Matrix

In an ever-evolving soundscape, few tracks capture the essence of introspection as “Matrix” does. This isn’t just another song; it’s an anthem for those lost in the maze of their own thoughts. Echoing the cinematic realm of its namesake, the track delves deep into the psyche, painting the poignant journey of an individual navigating their personalized ‘Matrix’. It’s a salute to the overly sensitive, the daydreamers, and the overthinkers, wrapping them up with the comforting message: “You are not alone.”

Behind this sonic marvel stands two powerhouses. Julie Yeung, electrifying the Bay Area as Hidden Axis, transitioned from the analytical world of STEM, discovering her pulse in music. Her earlier rhythm, “Better Off Alone”, already showcased her flair, racking up over 264,000 streams. Soon, the Bay Area’s locals will experience her electrifying live sets at the Breakaway Festival – with even more content set to come from her down the line.

For Medyk, with a staggering 9 million streams and tracks featuring on top Spotify playlists, she’s more than just a voice; she’s a movement. Medyk’s music collaborations read like a who’s who of the industry—Slander, ARMNHMR, and Synymata, to name just a few.

Together, in “Matrix”, Hidden Axis and Medyk have fused their individual brilliance, giving listeners more than just beats – they’ve offered an emotional sanctuary like few other songs can.

Accepted Concept, released under the CLUBWRK imprint, promises an exploration into Sparks’ musical psyche like we’ve never experienced previously.

One such novel piece is “Paranoid,” where Sparks collaborates with long-standing musical ally, JDG.

This is one album easy to come back to multiple times, getting virtually better with each listen. To further elevate the album’s launch, Melbourne is gearing up for a memorable CLUBWRK showcase.
