Jonathan Jaynes – Angels & Devils: An Ethereal EDM Dance of Duality

Posted on 7 November 2024

Jonathan Jaynes’ new single, ‘Angels & Devils (Club Version)‘, hits with big beats and a honed-to-the-nines production, enveloping listeners in a vulnerably immersive slice of etherealism. The melancholy embedded within the track is its strongest magnetic pull, drawing you into the 8-bit dreamy textures, while the rhythmic punctuations turn the earworm into an installation of danceable kinetic momentum.

‘Angels & Devils’ is a devilishly arcane invitation to lose yourself within a cinematic sonic sphere, reminding you that you are never alone in the moves you make even when it feels like the ache of disconnection is all-consuming. Even if you don’t subscribe to any particular faith, it is impossible not to find comfort in the lyrical mantras that light up the track, which is one of the most affecting exhibitions of Jaynes’ ‘happysad’ signature sound that lays catchy melodies over melancholic confessions.

This club version of ‘Angels & Devils’, originally a sad self-destructive ballad about leaving a relationship to save oneself from getting hurt, marks a new direction in his career, pursuing an EDM legacy that won’t easily be lost to history.

Get a Sonic Contact High from Bramley’s 80s House Anthem, You See Me?

Posted on 8 October 2024

Bramley is no stranger to invoking pure euphoria, and with You See Me?, he pushes the limits of retro-inspired house grooves, creating a track that feels like it was made for that 2 am peak in a sweat-soaked club when shirts are off and the energy is electric. The powerhouse vocals soar effortlessly over his disco-tinged beats, offering an instant mood lift as they project empowering reprises through the mix.

As an accomplished DJ, musician, and guitarist Bramley has a clear vision – to take his listeners on a sonic ride where live elements meet the pulse of electronic music. His knack for knowing exactly when to let the rhythm breathe before hitting hard with those infectious hooks shines through in every track he touches. You See Me? is an undeniable attestation to his mission to make rhythmic hedonism oscillate across dance floors.

The track oozes old-school house nostalgia while maintaining a fresh feel for today’s appetite for house hits. You See Me? hits so much harder than your average house cut; it’s a rush of retro bliss that reminds house music fans why Bramley is a kingpin in his genre.

You See Me? dropped on September 27; stream the single on all major platforms, including Spotify and SoundCloud.

Belle reworked an iconic Beats International hit for her latest EDM single, Just Be Good to Me

Posted on 27 August 2023

Pump it up to the tune of the latest slamming hit from the euphoria emissary, Belle. Her reworking of Dub Be Good to Me from the iconic act Beats International augments the earwormy grooves and feeds the mix all the staples of a seminal future house anthem.

Dancefloors won’t know what has hit them when the sonic session in bass-driven hedonist transcendence is underway; with the way that the original has been polished and anthemised to the nth degree, the Grammy-nominated Cali native ensured that the track has a place in the future of EDM. It is enough to make the original sound positively lo-fi; that will only sound like blasphemy before you’ve realised how much the Future Rave remix of Just Be Good to Me will push your speakers to the limit.

The Future Rave Version of Just Be Good to Me dropped on August 18th; stream it on Spotify.

Posted on 10 September 2022

Newark-born, Atlanta-based veteran recording artist Michelle Ayers has been projecting soul into the EDM scene since 1988. In 2022, she is on zealous form in her latest single, Fast Steppin’.

As cool as a New York club kid in the 90s, as soulful as Houston, she was best placed to bring the funk, groove and euphoria in her escapist retro disco house anthem, which shows the vast range of her soaring vocal dynamism over the solid beats and Nile Rodgers Esque synthesised guitar chops. Feel good tracks have never felt so good.

Fast Steppin’ is now available to stream on Soundcloud.

Turn It Louder: Del Piombo rattles our senses awake with cinematic track ‘Sinai’ (Club Mix)

Posted on 24 December 2021

Mastered at Abbey Road Studios by the well-loved and award-winning engineer Simon Gibson, Del Piombo has our minds alive with the possibilities that are so abundantly clear on ‘Sinai‘ (Club Mix).

David Anderson Cosgrove aka Del Piombo is a much-respected composer, multi-instrumentalist, music producer, sound engineer, and EDM performer. This skilled professional attempts to show us that the world between the 18th century and today can be joined together in a classy style which we can all enjoy no matter our music tastes.

”Music and the arts are part of David’s family legacy. His grandfather, John Nelson Cosgrove, was part of the Silly Center Opera Company in NYC, whose members included Pulitzer Prize-winning author Carl Sandburg and virtuoso Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia.” ~ Del Piombo

Del Piombo shows us his compelling mindset that has him assembling an experience like none other, as he radiates so brightly through the darkness of current times with a new single that is quite outstanding.

”From decades of composition, David knows that every release is an opportunity to dazzle and delight an audience. Del Piombo is the next step in that lifelong mission, combining classical composition with modern technology to bring new sounds to audiences everywhere.” ~ Del Piombo

‘Sinai‘ (Club Mix) from the prolific music producer and performer Del Piombo, is a quite wonderful track that somehow mixes in two genres that are so different but may co-exist when integrated with love by true professionals. There is a raging start that shocks you awake, followed by beautiful melodies that gets your whole body twitching with delight. On a track that merits being in a Hollywood blockbuster with Jason Statham, you are completely wrapped into this fabulous mind-bending anthem.

Hear this speaker-shaking new single on Soundcloud and see what he comes up with next on IG.
