RÜFÜS DU SOL – Exhale
Genre: Ambient / Indie Dance
And just like clockwork, we find ourselves again drooling over GRAMMY-winning live electronic trio RÜFÜS DU SOL. Yes, they’re sexy, but more importantly, today we receive their fifth studio album Inhale / Exhale. The highly anticipated LP is out now via Rose Avenue/Reprise Records.
The entire album is a journey, and a story you are a part of one way or another. The closing track, ‘Exhale‘, therefore, feels like you have obtained peace through the experience. It reminds us of the ability to release lots of tension and bad juju through breathing out. And more importantly, being able to breathe again, soothingly.
Ben Hemsley – Tidal
Genre: Classic Trance
Ignore this came out last week (when we didn’t do a NMF). We’d been waiting on this one piece of blissful Trance for months, and now it’s ours for Eternity. Ben Hemsley. This man took the Trance scene by storm — and for all the good reasons. As of now, he has become one of the younger figures in who we trust to restore Trance to its former glory.
Inspired by the golden era of Trance, Ben Hemsley’s ‘Tidal’ featuring the vocals of Rose Gray is one of the year’s most anticipated releases, by a mile. The 10.5-minute-long track blends Classic Trance hallmarks with innovative soundscapes, all while Rose Gray’s ethereal voice adds an emotional layer to the narrative of a turbulent on-and-off relationship.
Adam Beyer – Don’t Go
Genre: Techno (Peak-Time)
Adam Beyer continues to push Techno’s boundaries with diverse elements while staying true to the beat, with his new EP Don’t Go, out today. Picking up where he left off with previous EPs and collabs, Drumcode’s label boss delivers a two tracker of epic proportions, marked by a creative use of vocal samples and vocal processing, creating an extra layer of rampant power.
The title track, ‘Don’t Go‘, kicks off with spacey elements of hoover and doppler FX, maintaining an assertive, demanding forward thrust throughout but soon becoming dominated by the vocal sample, a two-line Afro-vibe chorus of mixed voices processed as a riff, then a melody, and then building through the big breakdown into a huge drop.
Gorgon City & Max Styler – Touch
Genre: Tech House
The Electronic music scene is buzzing with excitement as Gorgon City teams up with Max Styler for their latest track, ‘Touch‘. Known for their unique blend of Deep House and vibrant Pop elements, this collaboration is no exception. Let’s dive into what makes ‘Touch’ a standout addition to both artists’ discographies.
‘Touch’ opens with an inviting melody that sets the stage for a euphoric experience. The track features lush synths and a pulsating bassline, instantly drawing listeners in. The production is polished, with intricate layers that reveal themselves with each listen. What truly stands out in ‘Touch’ is its vocal delivery. The ethereal vocals weave through the instrumental, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive.
