JES & Space Motion-Universe [Exit Soundscape]

 

There have been loads of exquisite tunes out over the summer months. Each track added an extra amount of heat to further spice up our summer. Autumn may be here officially but our mind remains in summer mood as hot releases keep coming our way! 

 One of the coolest and most exciting collaborations I have come across recently is the stellar "Universe" by Grammy nominated singer/songwriter and DJ Jes Brieden or "JES" as she is widely known by and one of the hottest emerging talents of the last years, Atila Tot or "Space Motion" as he has become known in the scene. These two surely know their craft well and it is no small wonder why this release will go on to be played out by the who's who of clubland. Out now on "Exit Soundscape" this one will have you skyrocketing to the heavens above with just one listen.

 We are eagerly welcomed within by pounding basslines, a complementary thriving percussion and most intriguing melodies. Whooshes and bangs plus female vocal exhales create a vibrant yet hazy atmosphere full of mystery and excitement. JES's distinct voice guides us along, enthralling and ecstatic as can be. The first mild break arrives and she utterly shines within, pouring all the essence of her soul into her rich vocal performance amidst cosmic melodies and turbulent synths. A chopped vox serenade of the highest measure arises keeping up with the spirit and cosmic energy of the track. The second break makes its appearance and she conquers our hearts anew, moving mind over matter, as the distinct chorus carries on like fuel, igniting an array of semi distorted synths and full on euphoric leads that burn everything in their path like wildfire with their might and splendor. 

 "JES" and "Space Motion" have created a monster of a tune! Make it yours!

ZOYA & FACTORe-Sun Is Dark [Avanti]

 

As summer passes and autumn beckons so do the ongoing releases shift their mood according to the season at hand, or so it may seem. Once more the ever promising label that is "Avanti" managed by Danish DJ/Producer "Kris O' Neil" showcases quality over quantity! One of their newest releases showcases the undeniable talents of artists "ZOYA" and "FACTORe". Both of these artists has made a name for themselves and continue to excel in the dance music cosmos!

"Sun Is Dark" is their new collaboration , one that will undoubtedly remain a favorite to many for the longest time! A concrete bassline, paired up with the appropriate minimalistic percussion signify the strength of the track at hand. Fueled by waves of euphoric, metallic tendencies, fragments of vocal speech and male vox, an electrifying atmosphere is easily formulated. Chill and thrills occur as the track progresses ever forward. A male vocoder style performance follows in all its nefarious, dystopian glory, decorated and enhanced by a plethora of dramatic melodies and subterranean effects rightly applied for the season that ghouls and ghosts may begin to walk among us. A spectacular menacing otherworldly atmosphere blows us all aback with its greatness! 

 An added bonus to this already stunning release is the uncanny remix by dance music duo on the rise "Framewerk". These guys take their job seriously building on the darkness within and somehow enhancing it tenfold! Ominous synths, a wisely crafted percussion and a clever usage of added effects get our blood curdling. The vocoder performance is of course included alongside the beloved dramatic melodies of the original. Techy synths and driving aspects are also incorporated within shifting gears towards a futuristic oriented approach that the populous will definitely eat up. Stutter effects on the main robotic vocals are a nice touch as well.

 This package is chock full of a dark, techy, progressive and melodic goodness with a sinister plot at the very end! This release needs to be yours!
