Drival-Golem [AVA White]

 

The year we left behind was a pretty special one for the world of dance music. Loads of glorious releases saw the light and were worshiped time and time again by the populous on dance floors around the globe. As the year came to a close another gem graced the charts and our hearts alike. That was the last release of the year for Spanish DJ/Producer Jordi Ramio, widely known as "Drival". This versatile artist has dance music coursing through his veins and he proves that fact time and time again through his selected amount of originals productions and remixes on a wide range of esteemed labels such as "Armada Music", "FSOE Fables" and "Universal Nation". His new dance music offering led him to "AVA Recordings" home of renowned artists "Andy Moor" and "Somna". "Golem" is out on "AVA White" beloved sub label of "AVA Recordings" and it is a big one at that! 

 Chugging basslines, tube-like synths and flanged effects are all present here. A distant mystical choir flairs things up while slamming leads take over. Full on energy is ever present here guiding us all towards the big break. The break in the midst of the tune is flooded with an ethereal atmosphere of intriguing melodies, that instill a sense of wonder within us all right before the big blastoff! A fusion of soaring arps and ecstatic uplifting leads is unleashed and the excitement arises within our hearts as the adrenaline courses through our veins! An anthem to fully represent the year that passed. A tune of pure excellence from "Drival" that is guaranteed to get the place jumping when played out loud! Massive!

KaNa-Episode 09 [Snow freques]

 

Winter may officially be here, but by no means does it stall the steady blossoming and ultimate fruition of the future works of the many talented artists out there! The latest divine release that has come to my attention comes to us from the land of the rising sun! Japanese DJ/Producer "KaNa" has returned with a fresh E.P dubbed "Snow Freques Episode 09". Her last release was eagerly devoured by the fans, seems this one will take things two steps further!

 "Cosmoclock 21": This is definitely the rowdier sibling of the bunch! Darker synths, stripped back vox and aggressive, semi distorted grungy grooves are all here staking their claim. The break brings forward elements of a clock ticking time away as time appears to always be a force against us, accentuated by lush melodies and playful female vocal fragments that seem to take flight, joining on a slow dance of their very own just as the groove comes sliding in through open doors. Dominated by pounding basslines, riveting leads and grunting synths much like before, taking charge on its never ending race towards the future! Large and in charge! Explosive number for the clubs!

 "Consequence": This one tones things down a tad, being the more tranquil of the siblings. Progressive grooves lay the base of the tune as crystal-like serene melodies shine through like the sun on a winter's day. Buzzing synths add an extra flair and dosage of drama to the mix while our mind wanders off to a long lost forest up high in the mountains while melodies derived from a flute and decorated by crisp vocal segments mesmerize us all, instilling an instant gratification of a newfound inner peace!

KaNa has demonstrated once more why she is the next big thing to emerge from Japan! This E.P contains something for every dance music fan out there!
