Darci – Seeing Colors

Not much to say here, but give it a listen and go from “unimpressed” to totally “captured” by this tune. Darci’s first offering, at least that i noticed w/o doing any research, left a great impression on me. He must have previous releases with 7k SC followers, but everything is a stream/ is a blur these days and nobody got time for that. And “Seeing Colours” manages to go from slightly weird to super modern state of the art zeitgeist pop. And it happens naturally, almost like a sonic remedy. Well done sir! Now we know your name.

Jazzpah – Flutter (Feat. Ashley Lawless) VIP EDIT

Best artwork out there. A gamer at work – love it. I wish more tracks “looked” like this, the track itself is serious quality too. I with the phenomenal vocals were louder while still as haunting. The Future bass drop is a necessity in the minds of many late trenders, while the style is already fading out. But already now the future synth drop feels so much like a generic style in Aug 2017. You mastered it Jazzpah! Vocals anyway but also production wise – on to the next level! But the next level is a whole new electronic style that will focus even more on vocals and top lining so you are well equipped for that!  I passed this on to my label partners, this track is lovely and worth a serious release &  push on Spotify!

Sonny Step & TyC – Still Believe In Love

Great effort, in the best Boys II Men manner.

Blending hi-fi pop with a soulful rnb aesthetic, Still Believe In Love has an intricate yet organic drum track under a melting pot of masterful synth work. Setting the stage for Sonny to give a dynamic and moving vocal performance. This power ballad combines hifi sound with a Sonny’s retro-60’s aesthetic, and is sure to leave you feeling nostalgic !

The Slow Jam FIX Just In : Flamongo & Xloxlyp feat. Aria Dawn – Insensitive

giphy

Ok, we got a winner this year. Xloxlyp & Flamongo are now my favourite act (by far). Every track sounds like it’s made for the 4Chan generation. Insensitive seems like the OST of an imaginary romance between Jackie 4Chan and Brittany Venti, in a future movie about that whole Shia LaBaboon HWNDU fiasco (btw the best shit show in the world). In the age of virtue signaling, “Insensitive” is i guess how every rational person feels, when surrounded by the new Normies of our disconected society. And telling from the lyrics, they were going for that numbness surrounding people in this ADHD world of TMI, useless data, empty words that leave you triggerless. “Whiskey shots will cure it all” says it all, and is an instant winner in my book. Anyways this is the 2nd time i had a Xloxlyp track on repeat, this time while revisisting Metal Gear Solid on PS4. So if anyone can hang in my short gaming playlist with your song, especially if it’s a slow jam, w/o getting kicked out in a good 4h, while i am pulling stunts in the Afghan Desert, that is pure quality. Ps for some reason the track reminds me of Beyonce’s “Hold on” track w/o sounding pathetic, self-absorbed, self congratulatory and/or like Beyonce.

“Insensitive” should be mandatory listening when shitposting. The production is again dead on point w/o doing too much and over doing that whole future bass genre, which is just hot air anyways and sticking more to a modern slow dance style. Whoever Aria Dawn is, she does a damn fine job and the whole thing works. It’s not demanding too much, not promising anything, but again Xloxlyp and Flamongo deliver the goods.
