CYBERPUNKERS
Blaze Bass

On April 25th, the Italian duo Cyberpunkers will be releasing their Feel The Disco EP through Big Fish Recordings. They’ve started to unravel the tracks through premieres, which is just what is currently happening with “Blaze Bass” here today. Their future meets electro house original is being previewed in full by way of the dojo.

“Blaze Bass” is just another example of why Cyberpunkers is one of house music’s hottest acts. They’ve been killing it for years, and have always been able to adapt and push new sounds forth. With this single we get their dark signature sound, this time flipped with some deeper qualities than their usual hard hitting euro-trash style. We still get some of that, as “Blaze Bass” has a gritty edge to it that only could be managed by these two Italians. Cyberpunkers never cease to amaze as they continue to put out some of the best electro you can find. Catch them on the 25th when their EP drops in full.

Ella On The Run – Undone [TMN PREMIERE]

London-based alt-pop artist Ella On The Run is gathering quite the amount of attention with her highly anticipated forthcoming EP ‘Undone’. Having studied at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, and worked with LA producer Mathew Bang, she’s now crossed The Atlantic, where she’s released this infectious EP; proving her position amongst a new generation of awesome alt/pop artists.

Released as a single towards the end of March, ‘Undone’ offers a glimpse into Ella On The Run’s (aka Stephanie Gautier’s), new and intriguing style of alt-pop. A layered mix of euphoric and electronic sounds subtly lie beneath her whispery vocals; reflecting a tone similar to Lana Del Rey, as she sings “wasted is the youth on the young”. Crashing drums and percussion (resembling that of shackles and chains) energise the chorus, along with a quickened electric guitar hook. This is reduced to almost nothing, as her vocals carry the piece into the final chorus, emotionally delivering her pain-stricken lyrics: ‘we’ve come undone’.

‘Walk Away’ is immediately more up-tempo, her delicate vocals help introduce a soft drum beat, adding to the pace of the piece, which then develop into an uplifting chorus, bare of vocals, yet over-thrown by a summer-set melody. As a new track, ‘Walk Away’ demonstrates why Ella on the Run has recently beefed names ‘Songstress on the rise’ by Candid magazine, and received attention from the likes of BBC Radio 1. Truly fantastic.

Hit by a deep undertone of bass, ’Too much heaven’ initially guides us through an ambiguously intriguing beginning; intertwining her vocals and unusual harmonic effects, resemblant of elements of House music. Consisting of ghostly harmonies, as she sings “Angels fall”, Ella on the Run achieves a relaxed sound of exultation, veiled with this signature alt/electronic beat.

A unique cover of Ace of Base’s ‘All that she wants’ is faintly familiar to us as the audience, however she’s taken this track and completely submerged it with her electronic/ pop sound. Making it her own, it’s refreshingly current, and barely recognisable, as she’s transformed the song into a production for 2016. Her whispery vocals slowly move over the popular lyrics, but following a newly modified melody. The song is almost hypnotic, as she flirts with some original elements written by Ace of Base, whilst consistently employing stylistic features of her own. Having already gathered over 10k views and listens on Spotify, Soundcloud and YouTube, it’s clear the rest of the EP will follow in quick succession.

‘Undone’ is available on Soundcloud now, and you can pre-oder the EP on iTunes. It will be available to download on 22nd April.

The Tropixx feat. Danny Shah – Immortal [TMN Premiere]

The Tropixx Ft. Danny Shah
Immortal

Soundcloud

The Tropixx is a brand new project that is being launched by way of a single called “Immortal.” We have the luxury of bringing you their first track, featuring Danny Shah, as a Music Ninja Premiere. Every so often we get blown away by a tropical tune, which is just the case with this original.

“Immortal” takes the island sound and brings a bit more poppy style to it. Danny Shah’s vocal performance soars atop a lively instrumental whose melodies are to die for. If you don’t get this record stuck in your head, then you may want to get that checked. In all seriousness, “Immortal” shows the potential of the tropical house sound that is largely taken over by a select few, while others try to grasp desperately. The Tropixx killed it, so expect them to dish out some more memorable records as the year passes on. “Immortal” is just the beginning of a fruitful career.

Going In [Out now]

Dyro’s imprint WOLV Records just got their hands on one hell of a record from Amsterdam producer Loopers. “Going In” is the track we are referring to you, and we have the pleasure of premiering it to you. Loopers isn’t new to the label, but this may be his best track yet with them.

“Going In” just oozes attitude from the very beginning. It has an undeniable energy that penetrates the listener from start to finish with phrases of pure intensity after the drops hit. The sound design is something that makes this song next level, and the sequencing of the sounds makes it even better. Dirty bass within fierce rhythms is a recipe for a dance floor destroyer, which is just what “Going In” is. Prepare for the upcoming festival circuits to be ravaged by this single. It takes the best of electro and future house and mashes them into one filthy record. “Going In” is currently available on digital stores, which you can run through here.

Mace – Multiverse [TMN Premiere]

On April 4th, Italy’s Mace will be releasing his Purple EP through Sushi Records. Today we have the luxury of premiering one of the singles off his project called “Multiverse” that will have even the purist of future bass lovers bowing on their knees. Mace is looking to make a dent with this EP, which he surely can do because this single, as well as the others, are pure heat.

“Multiverse” has one of my favorite introductions of 2016. The anticipation is built by simply intensifying his synths and adding layers, with only a subtle kick being the percussion that we get. By minimizing the use of kicks/snares, once the drop comes in, their impact feels even harder. Future bass has steadily been becoming a genre with a great divide in creativity. Mace finds himself at the top of the bunch who are pushing the genre forward, and “Multiverse” is a prime example of that. Stream the single today, and head over to iTunes to grab yourself a pre-order of the Purple EP.

By the end of 2015, Steve James was making huge waves with his debut original track “Renaissance”, as we did a fun interview with him and got to understand his style of music a little better. Fast forward to four months later, the producer from Pittsburgh is set to release the “Renaissance” remixes compilation with the help of some talented friends.

Joseph Chung and Joseph Abella, together as ARMNHMR decided to add their own spin to the wonderful track and absolutely crushed it. Known for having a wide range of sounds, you never know what to expect from the two producers, and this remix is yet another genuine surprise. The melody-driven buildup gets straight to the point, and the vocals provide an infectious melody that will make you sing along to every word. The two different drops definitely highlight this track and provide some electrifying synth work, together with throbbing drums and occasional breaks.

ARMNHMR is no stranger to the dance scene, and this remix of “Renaissance” perfectly exemplifies that. We definitely look forward to more exciting tracks by the two Josephs in the near future.

Oh wow, do we have something extremely dope to share with you today. We do a lot of premieres, but this one stands out as one of the favorites. Mysterious act MAEKL JORDN just went hard on their original record “BRKDNC” that we are premiering to you. If you need a fiery record to get yourself through Monday, you’ve got it with this one.

MAEKL JORDN put together a breakbeat masterpiece with “BRKDNC.” There’s no doubt it will get people up and dancing either, as its vicious grooves are unlike anything we’ve gathered this year. The vocal chopped melodies are crafted to perfection, accompanied by the subtle hits and highly animated percussion. “BRKDNC” could easily become one of the records of the year, especially since breaks has been coming more into the fold lately. High Scream Records got their hands on this superb release, which you can purchase through Beatport today.
