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.

TARISH blew the roof off house music with ‘blurry’

Posted on 20 May 2023

The Iraq-born, Sweden-hailing songwriter and producer, TARISH, blew the roof off the house genre with his stormer of a floor-filler, blurry.

With similar uninhibitedly high-energy to the hit, Filthy/Gorgeous by Scissor Sisters, read through the funky bass-dripping beats and the galvanizingly high vocal notes, blurry is an adrenaline-fuelled slice of euphoria which stores an endless supply of dopamine.

TARISH also audibly wears his Swedish House Mafia influence on his music producer sleeve, but never to the detriment of the originality of his resounding sound, which is currently criminally underrated. If you enjoy discovering underground artists before they break onto the mainstream, your time is running out to discover the electrifying visionary before everyone else.

Blurry hit the airwaves on April 21; hear it on Spotify.

Michelle Ayers sets the pace in her soul house anthem, Fast Steppin’

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.

Partimama has made her empowering EDM pop debut with ‘Mamma Loves Ya’

Posted on 4 May 2022

Melbourne-based EDM pop artist, Partimama, has released her riotously catchy empowerment track, Mamma Loves Ya. With more soul than all of Ru Paul’s aural productions combined, it’s hard not to let the wholesomely uplifting anthem sink its teeth and drip-feed serotonin.

With the well-placed horn stabs and disco grooves around the unfaltering pounding bass, Partimama became the queer-celebrating icon we never knew we needed through her infectious extension of unconditional love. Even if you don’t get it from your mother, you’ve got an unlimited supply from this unity inspiring hit.

Like many of her fans, we couldn’t be happier that she stepped away from other people’s music and turned her attention to her own expression.

Mamma Loves Ya is now available to stream on SoundCloud.

The old school bass bump and clicking of the fingers lets you know that this is going to be an old school feel of a song with lots of dancing involved. Vivacious UK singer-songwriter Erire sings with such pureness on her new single ‘Destination’ (ft. Axel 84).

This is about asking for that special person in your life to wait for you and not to disappear without you. They have let you down before but all has been forgiven and you believe in them. You feel that they are the air that you breathe and you want to be with them closely, feeling their heartbeat and dancing together all night. This is the desire you have deep inside and you were there when they were down and out. Loyalty isn’t an issue for you and your souls have meshed into one as this is the only person in the world that you want to be with.

Her voice is so soulful and beautiful, the tone is calm and passionate the whole way through, and this will lift you off your seat. The beat contains a wide range of genres as the disco house and vocals mesh so well like a fine wine and great company.

With Axel 84 on the mix here, the soulfully elegant Erire sings so stunningly on ‘Destination’. Her voice is spectacular and graceful, full of love and desire. When you want something, you have to try and go get it, otherwise you will always live with that regretful feeling. No one wants that on their conscious.

Stream this new track here on Soundcloud and see more on her IG.
