Goshok’s Make It Right is a Tropic House Triumph of Fervid Soul and Blistering Hot Beats

Posted on 1 February 2024

Goshok started his latest tropic house pop hit, Make It Right, with an instant hook to cleanly cut through the layers of sound and instantaneously leave a lasting impression. From there on out, Make It Right is a masterclass in how to arrange tension and release; from the transcendence in the oscillating builds to the bursts of euphoria in the breaks, every progressive twist and turn will lead you further into the genius of Goshok. The scintillatingly curated sonics amplify the visceralism within the lyricism and vocals, which scorch with the heat of an old flame that you can’t bring yourself to reduce to ash and embers.

At 27 years old, the Czech producer, DJ and songwriter has effortlessly surpassed his influences and definitively come into his own as an EDM artist. If he keeps producing tracks in the same flawlessly deeply affecting vein as Make It Right, which will make you move and move you simultaneously, there’s no reason he can’t be bigger than his greatest influence, Kygo – especially as he will continue to drop hits throughout 2024.

The official video for Make It Right premiered on January 5^th. Stream the video on YouTube.

Oscar Hoset serenaded the twilight in his progressive house pop hit, Evening People (A Midnight Rhapsody)

Posted on 31 January 2024

After making a name for himself as a cover artist, the Norwegian luminary, Oscar Hoset, has illuminated the night with his debut single Evening People (A Midnight Rhapsody). If you want to hear the liberation of hedonism reflected through luscious progressive house pop hooks, hit play and brace yourself for the infectious momentum of the polished production that strides far past the cusp of contemporary dance-pop.

Oscar Hoset didn’t just stay in own lane with Evening People (A Midnight Rhapsody), he entered a completely new stratosphere while appealing to fans of Avicii, Kygo, and Martin Garrix with his debut which could easily be the most promising new entry in the dance-pop arena in 2024. At just 22 years old, he’s already perfected the art of infusing visceral rapture into his productions. We can’t wait to hear what comes next.

Evening People (A Midnight Rhapsody) was officially released on January 19^th; stream the single on Spotify.

Goshok explored the pleasure-pain parallel in his visceral EDM single, Reach You, ft Otto Palmborg

Posted on 3 September 2023

For his latest single, Reach You, the independent Czech music producer, DJ, and songwriter Goshok teamed up with Otto Palmborg to reach the pinnacle of electronica fervour.

Ironically, we couldn’t get his last single, On My Mind, off ours; if Reach You is anything to go by, his talents in infusing his momentous Kygo-inspired tracks with visceral emotions have become superlatively honed. Once you hit play, you’ll be immersed in a bitter-sweet hit that errs on the side of affectionate rapture. If you know how it feels to be caught in the middle of a relationship that forces you to explore the pleasure-pain parallel, the resonance in Reach You will be phenomenal.

By pulling in elements from across the EDM spectrum to enliven his tropical house edge and augment his pop hooks until they’re ensnaringly sharp, Goshok created a hit that could facilitate his dream to become the first producer from Czechia to feature on the line-ups at Tomorrowland, Coachella, and Balaton Sound.

Reach You hit the airwaves on August 25; stream it on Spotify.

Talking To The Ceiling: Heckyl can’t seem to sleep at all on ‘Stranger’

Posted on 24 May 2021

Opening the door slightly ajar to show us his 2nd single which is the follow-up to ‘Preacher’, Heckyl is the voice-capturing new single all about that ‘Stranger‘.

Heckyl is a new and exciting artist project from UK-based indie-pop singer-songwriter and producer Luke Potter. Made from his cozy Sweet Factory studio, this is a music journey that takes you into a space that is very vulnerable and thus this is a very personal experience.

”They are personal pop songs that are inspired and informed by a monster underneath my bed, but at night he crawls into my head, and they capture a world where anxiety, love and creativity come together in the form of ‘Heckyl.” – Heckyl

This is the story about trying to find some rest when your mind is racing like a formula one car and you spin out of control, crashing badly when you need to be winning.

‘Stranger‘ from the UK-based producer/indie-pop singer-songwriter Heckyl, shows us into the world where the doors are closed and no one can see. Featuring a highly imaginative ‘Kygo-esque’ rhythm, stacked full of tasty percussion and with some sassy synths, this is a song that you will find hard to forget.

That creepy stranger will always be with you, until you decide to slam to door for good.

Stream this top new song on Soundcloud and see more news with the IG music page.
