Chasing Abbey – Lie: 10/10 Sociopaths Will Detest The Taste of This Dance-Driven-Pop Ear Milk

Posted on 7 March 2023

What do you say about one of the freshest pop palettes of the decade, let alone the year? The scintillatingly sweet soul in the latest single, Lie, from the Irish outfit Chasing Abbey is enough to make a sociopath swoon at something other than their ability to manipulate for personal pleasure.

Capturing the deceit that hits the hardest, when it comes from someone holding your vulnerability in your hands, the electro-dance-pop earworm goes out to anyone in the same boat. While the synth lines deliver their glistening stabs, the steady builds and breaks in the backbeat work to entrance you as much as the titular reprise, which seems to garner more meaning with every repetition of that monosyllabic three-letter word that will be reverberating around your head long after this hit has faded to a close.

Taking the inspiration of the dance-driven pop hits from the 2010s; Chasing Abbey did more than emanate the likes of Swedish House Mafia and MK; they set the bar for every artist that wants to transcend their sound, which has seen them win the Irish Song of the Year Award at the RTÉ Choice Music Prize, sell-out national tours and support The Chainsmokers, Rita Ora and Enrique Iglesias.

Get your body beat to the blistering hot deep house drop from Freshcobar & Lavelle Dupree, ‘Story of My Life’.

Posted on 3 March 2023
https://soundcloud.com/nosrecordings/sets/freshcobar-lavelle-dupree-story-of-my-life-for-pr-use-only/s-0L2rxpLPmKA?si=a84680ea36c34967aa2c4e9dedb02172&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

It may be too early to call the deep house drop of the year, but Freschobar & Lavell Dupree set the bar euphorically high with their body rocker of a bass-drenched earworm, Story of My Life.

Deep House hits that allow the lyrics to bite as hard as the beats are few and far between; clearly, the San Diego DJs and producers Freschobar and Lavelle Dupree sharpened their lyrical teeth before making a meal out of the radio-ready edit and the extended mix.

Prior to producing the cuttingly contemporary track, the two artists who have become staples in the San Diego scene have toured the world, tearing up stages between stamping their passports. We can’t wait to see where they take their dynamic collaboration next.

Story of My Life will officially release via the San Diego label, No Ones Safe (NOS), on March 3rd; check it out here.

Daniel Aether poured soul into the fourth deadly sin with his afrobeat electro earworm, Envious

Posted on 25 February 2023

With his latest single, Envious, the Nigerian-Italian singer Daniel Aether raised the roof on Afrohouse while exploring the fourth deadly sin with flavourful soul.

There are few things in this world as disheartening as unveiling jealousy from someone that pretended to be a friend; we’ve all been there, and now we have the ultimate soundtrack for euphonic redemption. If success brings bitterness to your inner circle, you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be hoping for your downfall.

The 21-year-old Scotland-residing artist takes influence for his afrobeat electro earworms from a wide array of genres, resulting in a melodious sound that he can definitively call his own. While the Kaytranda-ESQUE beats bring the energy and colour, Aether’s opulently rich vocal lines spill the harmonised ad-libs that will undoubtedly become what he’s revered for in his promising career.

Envious will be available to stream from February 24th. Hear it on Spotify.

Out Of Control: Taihei defies the failed system and busts free on the electronic storm to save a Fallen Angel

Posted on 20 February 2023

Dropping his first track of the year to much strength and dance floor sliding, Taihei shows us the full force of that potently elevating Fallen Angel via a track so heart-soothing, it might leave behind a smile for days.

Taihei aka John Paul Reyes is a Chicago, USA indie EDM music producer/sound designer who makes expertly created heavy soundtracks to boost all heartbeats up a notch or two.

”A musical and technical maestro since the 2010s, he has worked in multiple different genres such as Progressive House, Trance, Big Room, Trap, and other styles. After many years working behind the scenes, he established Taihei in 2018 as a nostalgia love letter to the genres, tech culture, as well as the video games and anime that inspired him.” ~ Taihei

Marking the territory and easing all stress away with a monumental mountain of discovery, Taihei is surely on all radars with a song to remember forever here. Fallen Angel feels like a real description to feel enlightened by. It’s that good.

Fallen Angel from Chicago, USA indie EDM music producer Taihei is a vein-popping pool of inspiring clues into how one flies away from those dark days and controlling mechanisms that somehow treacherously deplete humanity’s innocence.

Layered in a rather spectacular force, our ears are treated to a wake-up call similar to a 4 am party of much significance. Headache? Yes. Worth it? Oh yes.
