Maria Healy-Kismet [Subculture]

 

One of Ireland's most prominent artists in the dance music field is without any doubt "Maria Healy". Maria has been known for her vigorous performances at esteemed venues and festivals such as "Luminosity", "Synergy" and "Planet Love" among many others. Her ever steady flow of releases on labels such as "Subculture", "Regenerate Records", "Blue Soho Recordings" and "Extrema Global Music" have brought to light some real gems. "Dreamer", "Clouds", "Desiderata" and "Mimosa" are only some of the pure hits this talented woman has offered to the dance music public. Inspiration never runs dry for this one and so she is back with a solid new single on fellow Irishman "John O' Callaghan's" label "Subculture". "Kismet" is the name and it is a riveting tune indeed!

 Pounding basslines, acid-like melodies, squelches and energized percussion serve as the appetizers before the main melody joins in. Bright, majestic and pure with a certain note of melancholy it turns it all around. Moments of reflection and deep thought arise within our soul. Questions seeking answers and choices made in haste are ever so evident in our mind. When the energy fueled leads arrive and seamlessly blend in with the main melody, a blissful matrimony of musical harmony arises and everything around us becomes as clear as daylight.

 Another aural pleasure from an artist who's story is ever so blossoming in the scene that we love. Uplifting, energetic, melodic goodness that will soothe and supercharge your life!

Out now on well known Irish DJ/Producer "John O' Callaghan's" famed label "Subculture"is the uber anthem that answers to the intricate name "Greyskull".

 "Greyskull" is an explosive affair from the very first seconds of play. Immersed by pumping basslines, ecstatic grooves and acid synths spread out quite eloquently among a whirlwind of swirls and other fun effects. We make our way prominently along the rugged path that leads towards the grounds of the grand castle that lays out in the distance. Gasping in awe of what we hold before us we are instantly ambushed by a plethora of majestic melodies as if spout out by some of the Kingdom's finest minstrels and are pleasantly surprised by rejuvenating, mighty leads that demonstrate the full power, magic and potential of this regal stronghold. As the drawbridge drops to welcome us weary travelers within its ramparts we are flooded with a sense of adventure, duty and filled with an aura of goodness and inner strength. Another glorious tune of epic proportions conjured to life by one of the scene's finest producers. Surely an ode to the heroes of his childhood who reside in the far away Kingdom of Eternia!
