KaNa-Episode 08 [Snow freques]

 

The discovery of new artists in the dance music field brings a great joy to us music fiends. As an artist times can be difficult, especially when faced with the constant struggle of breaking through and begin gaining their own following. Our duty is and should be to help push talented artists and therefore their music into the forefront of the scene. I recently had the pleasure of discovering a producer from Japan who by all means lets her passion guide her, fuel her and focuses adamantly on the perfection of her craft. She goes by the name of "KaNa" and has just unleashed a fresh E.P ("Episode 08") into the open. This E.P consists of two very special tracks: "LuMina" and "Still Light". Let's take the plunge into this wonderful new E.P shall we?

 "LuMina": A light , playful percussion opens up this tune with grace, as a tranquil atmosphere begins to form all around it as if enveloping it with a sudden warmth. Distant bird calls, gentle melodic droplets and a warm bassline, like the setting sun tie it all together beautifully. Mind pleasing melodies arise within the break of the tune as a sort of paradisial atmosphere looms all over. An evident aura of bliss, magic and inner peace can definitely be spotted here while listening to this exquisite number. 

 "Still Light": Effervescent melodies are at the core of this one while the sturdy bassline is at work, keeping things running like a fine tuned timepiece. Enthusiastic leads charge forward, sprinkled vivaciously with an assortment of bright sound effects and small choir segments. A bright, positive atmosphere is gradually created here as an imagery of golden rays of sun shining down on the barely movable surface of the serene pools of water below. Life carries on undisturbed as nature continues to prove itself as a place of solace and self discovery! Another magical tune that will continue on the spiritual healing of its predecessor! 

Dance music for your body, mind and soul. Soothing, magical beats that will extinguish any anxieties obtained during the labors of our everyday life! "KaNa" proves she deserves a place in the dance music scene that we all love and cherish. Her new E.P is evidence enough of an artist that has the gift and sheer talent of transporting you away to foreign lands with lush, serene landscapes formed by her very own mind and hands. Definitely one to look out for!

Miroslav Vrlik Vs. Mark & Lukas-Back In Time (Stoby & Sonia Scott Remix) [Soluna Music]

 

There is such a plethora of great tunes coming out that sometimes it may be hard to keep up with them all. Amazing tracks can indeed get lost through the cracks, going unnoticed by most. It is our duty to shift through it all, bring forth and unearth these rare aural gems for your listening pleasure. One of these tracks is without a doubt the mesmerizing "Back In Time" by Slovakian artists "Miroslav Vrlik" alongside "Mark & Lukas", out now on San Francisco based music label "Soluna Music". Beautiful, heavenly beats from start to finish! It comes with some great remixes as well by some of the artists that are by all means shaking up the waters. The remix I have selected to peer into was created by a dance music couple from the UK who have seen releases and remixes on labels such as "Pure Trance" and "Avanti" among others. "Stoby & Sonia Scott" attain a rare chemistry in life which finds its way into the studio as well. Testament to this fact every tune or remix they happen to work on possesses that magic factor that separates their music from the pack.

 Our ears are instantly flooded by dark, rich hues of sound building a solid foundation to tread upon. The joyous aural flutters of sound, like a delicate butterfly with all of nature's glory embedded within,   are here as well as the female chopped vox, sending a sweet innocence down our path. Can delightful and toughness be a thing? Both coincide marvelously here, complementing on each other's differences. The original has been reborn, transformed anew via the expert hands and ears of Stoby and Sonia, delivering a dance floor slow burner, one of those tunes that will slowly and surely ignite the dance floor. A majestic remix of sheer brilliance!

Quincy Weigert-Wild Side E.P [Nethertape Records]

 

American DJ/Producer "Quincy Weigert" has been hard at work conjuring up new music like his very life may depend on it. Now he's back with a surreal new E.P that will undoubtedly delight your aural senses! The "Wild Side E.P" will soon be out on his home label "Nethertape Records". It consists of two enthralling tunes: "Wild Side" and "Trust In The Wind". Let us sit back, relax and dig deep into each of these tunes shall we?

 "Wild Side": Pumping basslines, deep, dark buzzing grooves and female chopped vox are only the tip of the iceberg here. All these elements are assembled perfectly, forming the rich and intricate atmosphere found within the artist's own imagination. The imminent arrival of a captivating vocal performance by the singer is welcomed greatly, much like a bright beacon illuminating all that lies in her path and piercing the ongoing darkness. Her emotional tinged vocals paired up alongside the dark, brooding beats will undoubtedly send shivers down your spines. The mysterious, spooky and magical melodies that arise like a full moon perfectly complement the vibe at hand. Wild, mysterious and wonderful!

 "Trust In The Wind": The second tune on the "Wild Side E.P" is in a bit of a rush to get things moving. It appears to be the more aggressive tune of the bunch. We are quickly ushered into a world overrun by rumbling basslines, quaky synths and infectious melodies. Brief whisks of chopped vox, like a gust of wind on an autumn day, bring a refreshing hint to the tune. Simultaneously the distinct euphoric melodies carry us away alongside the brief surges of darkness. Upbeat, addictive and powerful as they come!

 The "Wild Side E.P" is definitely a killer two track E.P that will have the dance music fans devouring it from the first to the last beat!
