[Indie Dance] The 1975 – Somebody Else (EMBRZ Remix)

Posted by Tyler Trew - November 17, 2016

The 1975
Somebody Else (EMBRZ Remix)

Irish artist EMBRZ came in hot with his remix of The 1975. In taking on “Somebody Else” EMBRZ managed to create something that captivated us the moment we laid our ears upon it. We hope it does the same for you.

EMBRZ kicks things into gear with a mellow introduction whose cosmic soundscapes set the listener into a trance. It feels like musical xanax, then he turns things up a bit. His smooth grooves are equally as enticing as what set the stage for them. What’s really cool about this song is that its structure is set up to where it continues to build from beginning to end, instead of simply have drop, break, repeat. On Soundcloud, EMBRZ states he hopes that we like the remix, and we have to say, not only do we like it, but we love. it. This one’s phenomenal.

[Indie Dance] Nyxen – Running EP

Posted by Tyler Trew - November 16, 2016

I feel like Australia just has an infinite supply of talented artists. In the middle of that vast harbor of talent, you will find a Sydney treasure that goes by the name Nyxen. Recently, this Aussie put out a two track EP called Running that will have you sprinting to the nearest Nyxen show.

We can only imagine how fun a set by her would be, and part of why we can imagine that is because of these two singles. First, the title track is a masterful gem. Starting from a simple guitar riff, Nyxen was inspired and built out this entire single herself, even including her own vocal recordings. Secondly, we have “Monster” which has a similar style to the first, but takes slightly different path to give the EP a hint of variety. We’re going to be keeping a sharp eye on Nyxen in the future and we urge you to do the same.

Promises Ltd. – American Eyes (Gilligan Moss Remix) [TMN Premiere]

Posted by Tyler Trew - November 9, 2016

Promises Ltd.
American Eyes (Gilligan Moss Remix)

Soundcloud

For those who are unfamiliar with Promises Ltd., the project was created out of the union between Chrome Sparks and Charlie Brand of Miniature Tigers. The duo dropped their debut EP a couple of months ago and since then they’ve been pushing out remixes from various producers. Today, we premiere one to you from the Chicago duo Gilligan Moss.

“American Eyes” is the single Gilligan Moss got their hands on and we have to say they did a great job with it. Obviously, as we wouldn’t be premiering it otherwise! For just under five minutes, the duo keep ears at attention with a subtle composition that packs more punch than you’d expect. It’s one of those slow-burns that satisfies through and through from the very start to the very end. Rhythms are this song’s strong suit, as the interplay between the percussion and instruments make for a complex listen. It feels simple, but there’s so much going on it gives us the desire to dive deeper over and over again. Shout out to the Majestic Casual crew for putting this one out, as well as the other dope remixes!

Beach Season – Pink Room [TMN Premiere]

Posted by Tyler Trew - November 4, 2016

Everyone (except Californians) know that the weather changes throughout the year from season to season. It’s not always that we get to feel warmth and sunshine, but there’s one duo who doesn’t care what time of year it is. That duo is Beach Season. They’re bringing the Summer vibes no matter when, and right now they’ve brought their new single “Pink Room” into the dojo for a Music Ninja Premiere.

These two Canadians are no joke and neither is “Pink Room.” A cool blend of styles from pop, to house and indie-dance make up the song’s composition. Vocals have been a strong-suit in their work and with their growing catalog, we’re sure to get more and more of that; however, with the instrumental of “Pink Room” the guys pump up the pace a bit from their usual sound to give listeners something more vibrant and danceable.

This isn’t the only song Beach Season have coming this month, as they are gearing up for the release of their EP, Libra Year, on November 11th through Universal Music. In the meantime, enjoy “Pink Room” through Soundcloud, Spotify, or grab a copy on iTunes. Don’t forget to follow the duo on their Facebook or Twitter either! Gotta be ready to jump on the EP the moment it drops.

“This was a song that we dug up from the archives and continued to develop. It started off as a slow jam that’s half the tempo of the version now and through out the last six months we had different writers and friends put their own spin on it. It’s been through a lot of changes and I think that it’s an accurate representation of our development in the past year.”

[House] Betoko – Crazy Jack [TMN Premiere]

Posted by Matthew Bloss - October 28, 2016

Betoko
Crazy Jack (Original Mix)

Soundcloud

Fridays and house music were meant for each other from the jump. Which is why any time we can round up a darkly excellent slice of after-hours club music, we get a little bit giddy. London based, Mexcian born producer Betoko has long been an artist with whom this writer has been enamored. That admiration was forged by many a late night, hearing countless Betoko tunes rinsed by some of the world’s most forward thinking house & techno DJ’s. Betoko’s amassed an enormous base of proper house-heads behind polished releases on the likes of Get Physical, Bunny Tiger, Off, Nurvous & Katermukke, and his latest original record aims to move another wave of listeners.

“Crazy Jack”, our track under study today, sees Betoko return to Hedonism Music as part of the excellent Amsterdam Essentials Vol. 1 compilation. An outstandingly groovy club burner fueled by concrete snares, murky bass swells and arpeggiated progressions, “Crazy Jack” is a testament to Betoko’s arcing range of emotive productions, and a tune we’re massively excited to be premiering in the process. Stream “Crazy Jack” above.
