Wassu – Bell Lap
Genre: Organic House
Kicking off this week’s New Music Friday, a personal favourite. The sauce guy, the finance lad, the one who is able to create such sexy and sensitive pieces of music all at the same time, Wassu. Out today is his Bell Lap EP on Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, a three-tracker which had remained an ID for the better part of three whole years.
While all the tracks are A-class, we’re marrying the title track, ‘Bell Lap‘. Organic, melodic, and so groovy, this one is a match if you’re looking to keep your sunset set on the higher energy levels. It’s got an unbelievable amount of tension which never lets you go, and keeps you awake at all times, ready to dance your heart out when the beat lands.
Beije – Ecdysis (Discognition Remix)
Genre: Melodic House, Breakbeat
We’re in the zone today, so let us allow another very melodic, borderline-tear-inducing tune on today’s roundup. Toronto-based duo Beije crafted an absolutely beautiful track titled ‘Ecdysis‘, and today, Discognition, a Beatport chart topper, gave it a personal spin, which leaves us with quite the gem.
It’s got the spirit of Melodic House, wearing a Breakbeat suit, and with an Organic House tie. This one truly is a hybrid worth checking out, since it blends the best of three different vibes into a single product that flows so nicely. The strings, against the arpeggios, against the percussion, against the broken kick patterns… “Mmmmmmm“.
John Summit feat. KOATES – Undo
Genre: Tech House, House
We couldn’t leave Mr Summit out of the equation of this New Music Friday. After conquering all the possible stages with killer singles consistently released over the span of a couple of years, John Summit presented his debut album, Comfort In Chaos, today. A collection of his best latest music plus banging new tunes, and this one is among our favourites.
‘Undo‘ counts with the vocals of KOATES, and maybe the perfect way to describe its essence is “a nod to the past with the emotion of the present”. Because we were so happy to hear Summit’s oldish Tech House groove from the Lockdown era, but executed in a different way: warm, nostalgic, album-worthy if you will. Goes to show why he is as on top of the world as he currently is.
Ben Böhmer feat. Lykke Li – Hiding
Genre: Electronica, Garage
This week we received a belter from a legend in the works. Ben Böhmer‘s newest single, ‘Hiding’ is a collaboration with award-winning artist Lykke Li, and it marks the second single on Böhmer’s upcoming studio album, Bloom, to come out on September 27 via Ninja Tune. And it’s tasty. Quite tasty.
An effortless combination of Indie, Pop, and Electronica, ‘Hiding’ is flooded with Ben’s lush pads and triumphant melodies, while Lykke Li’s iconic vocals wash over crisp breakbeats. The single continues to forge Ben’s path beyond the pre-fabricated boxes that he’s been put into as an artist, earning the trust of Indie royalty such as Lykke Li. A rare feature, ‘Hiding’ is her first original collaboration since 2019.
Paul Thomas feat. Christian Burns – Enjoy the Silence
Genre: Progressive House
When a classic track of the history of Mankind is reworked, the world takes a break and listens closely. If the rose artwork sounds familiar, you’re on the right path. ‘Enjoy the Silence‘, arguably Depeche Mode’s greatest track ever — and which, fun fact, almost didn’t come to be —, is reimagined by FSOE UV owner, Paul Thomas.
Steemed vocalist Christian Burns takes the starring place of Dave Gahan as the vocalist of this take, one that sees the timeless track turn into a hyper-hypnotic Progressive House piece. Taking away the 80s snares from the track and giving other percussion place and time to shine, the outcome of the vibe is entirely different, and refreshing. We dig this one, for sure.
