My ears have been glued to Kainalu’s recent releases. This artist has the amazing ability to create tracks that are simultaneously downtempo and groovy. With his latest track, “Finding Peace of Mind,” he allows us to do just that. An infectious synth melody meets low key vocals to send listeners into a sublime state of relaxation. Jazzy drums and deft bass work give this one a funky vibe that promises to have you floating through space like a jelly fish in no time. Press play and enjoy.
Golden Vessel of Australia is ending 2018 with one final and super solid release, entitled “MOONSTONE” with friends and fellow collaborators Elkkle & Akurei.
During a studio session Golden Vessel shares, ”I started telling them about the stolen moonstones and then morphed it into a metaphor for a conversation we were having earlier about missed opportunities and when we or friends miss out on something that should’ve been in reach (and the frustration around that). The stolen moonstones became the missed opportunities and we all started writing. We tried to sneak a few references from the different stories around stolen moon rocks into the song such as mentioning Joseph Gutheinz who was a NASA special agent tasked with recovering the missing rocks.” This one is out now and you can grab it everywhere.
Hailing from two very diverse backgrounds, Russian and Spanish, DJ/Producer Ruslan Slatin, aka SLATIN, releases “Apple Juice,” featuring UK vocalist Carla Monroe. As SLATIN, puts it, this one is the first in a series of what he calls “Modular House” tunes. Sharing that the “idea is to integrate modular synthesis in a way no one did before.” Utilizing influences from techno and house music and flipping them into a fusion of hybrid analog-digital tracks that appeals to lots of different listeners. “Apple Juice” is out now and you can stream below!
Looking for music to refresh, go inward, and get your mind thinking in a unqiue way? LA-based producer Greatness of Saturn, wants you to feel more than just the music. In his debut EP, GOS asks for his listeners “to examine the very nature of who you are. Humans are at once both glorious and flawed beings — dynamic and unpredictable.” We first featured the new project with his ‘777’ release, remarking it for itsraspy, retro-inspired original is an interesting take on dance music. Now the self-titled EP has 6 new singles, that should be listened from front to back, there’s even a 17-minute continuous stream on Soundcloud.
Tom & Collins don’t appear to be slowing down. Following up their smash hit “Give Me One Reason”, the duo released the EP A Different Kind of High in December of 2017. The EP is a collection of five tracks, each with their own unique flavour, giving fans of Tom & Collins, and EDM in general, a diverse and fun listen to get through these cold winter months.
From the opening track “Hollow”, you can tell Tom & Collins put a lot of thought and care into A Different Kind of High. Everything in this track serves to amplify the vocals, giving them extra punch as the emotional delivery penetrates the ears of the listener.
It’s not all serious, though. Tracks like “Finally” offer a fun throwback to 90s dance, with a smooth, groovy bassline and lighthearted drums pushing the song forward in an exciting way that’s very danceable.
A Different Kind of Highshows Tom & Collins at their best. Experimental, playful, emotional, and fun. The collection of five tracks has left us excited to hear just what exactly the duo has for us in 2018.
To follow up his release of “Superficial” earlier in 2017, Montreal-based hip-hop/RnB artist Zach Zoya has released the music video accompanying the track. Premiering on Exclaim! on December 6th, Zoya has put forth a video that serves was the perfect partner for the nighttime-tailored track, putting together some dope evening vibes to boot.
To promote the release, Zoya recently performed a handful of shows across Quebec, including stops in Quebec City and Montreal. Zoya’s live performances are known to be ones of high energy and great vibes, leaving fans with a memorable concert experience.
With all this buzz surrounding Zach Zoya, it should come as no surprise that he’s signed to one of Quebec’s premier record labels in 7ième Ciel. Over the years, 7ième Ciel has helped promote and establish many Quebec artists, including Dramatik, Koriass, and more.
