Temple Haze x narou – If I Could Be Yours (Premiere)

If I Could Be Yours‘ is a ballad, conceptualised as an equivocal and psychedelic narrative into the different ways love can be perceived. The song is a tribute to the idea of love; how we can see and feel love as this transformative entity.
‘With this track I felt a calling to channel my mothers energy into the songs essence, as she inspired me to be authentic to myself ‘, Temple Haze says.
Temple started his journey into music on the road, hitchhiking through America and Europe, working on organic farms, living an off-the-grid lifestyle, busking on the streets and finding his way as a vagabond. After nearly 4 years on the road He moved to Berlin to settle into the vibrant artistic community. Since then the Washington, DC native has been making waves in Berlin’s underground music scene. He is best known for his collaborations as a singer and co-composer of Bakery, featured vocalist with Sam Shure, and currently in collaboration with the producer narou. Temple’s live repertoire includes solo acoustic shows, full band shows, downbeat ableton live sets, mystical DJ sets, and ambient soundscapes. All in all, Temple has played at over 200 shows around the world, as support act for Crystal Fighters (with Bakery) and Rising Appalachia (Solo). He released his debut solo EP “Anotherside” on February 2018. His musical journey now starting with ‘If I Could Be Yours’ is much influenced by the vibe of James Blake, the honest and raw songwritings by Frank Ocean, Jordan Rakei, Moses Sumney and Daniel Caesar.
‘If I Could Be Yours’ is based in Gospel. Influenced and motivated by his mother who’s a gospel and choir singer, Temple Haze is named with artists like Daniel Caesar, Moses Sumney, Frank Ocean, Jordan Rakei, Sampha. The production by the Berlin based producer narou who is well known for the production of James Hersey since 2014, reminds a lot of Nick Hakim.

…So give me space and let me breathe…. “Love Song Idea” by Melis

giphy

Beauty in a nutshell is this song!

Not really into overly melodramatic songs these days, but at Love song Idea has sincere depth! Something that’s overly missing from the new pop music, which mostly has no-talent influencer hacks posing as artists. But to not spoil beauty with negativity, let’s get back to Melis, who was just *pitched to me a mere 10 min ago. Is it that good? Honestly i don’t know yet, but the first impression and Melis somewhat different sound, set her so much apart from the mainstream input i get 24/7. The honesty in her voice is priceless and that’s what lets a song transport emotion and creates value in my music obsessed world. So, Thank God It’s Thursday ! And Bon Voyage, fellow Berlin, singstress Melis. This song will go far!

JOPLYN – Against The Stream [Video]

Against the Stream is a collaboration by Berlin based newcomer girl JOPLYN and Booka Shade. Urban Indie Pop meets Electronic Beats combined with thoughts of a young female artist waving somewhere between the beauty of hot summer nights and dark streets where you easily can get lost from time to time in big cities like Berlin. Definitely no need to hide this pretty face with hair the whole time and I am missing a little smile – but that’s just my personal opinion and something you should decide for yourself. Enjoy the night ride through the streets of Berlin and swim with Joplyn against the stream :)

Hey young world!

We are back babay! The YUM YUM’s & Mat McHugh – [YY:MM]

Dear friends, followers, haters, debaters, jokers, smokers, late night talkers, people who judge on the spot, those who love on the spot and those who feel infinite! It’s been a minute since i put out my own music, besides initially producing Lions Head, but this here’s an affair of the heart! And yes, we are back!
We are called the YUM YUM’s (Djs & producers) consisting of me, Chrome from ChromeMusic, Tand Williams & Meskla both veteran Djs of the YUM YUM parties, hence the name), and this our first own and official release, a collaboration with a long time favourite music maker of ours, Sidney-based Australian singer-songwriter Mat McHugh, from the Beautiful Girls!
“High Up!” is our first official release and there are 11 more songs to come in the form of a full length album in September.  It is is a chilled futuristic late night jam and we sincerely hope you like it!!

The Story behind the music: A match made on our music blog!

I always featured Mat McHugh (matmchughmusic.com), who is one of my favourite singers, on my acoustic mixtape series “Sweet Serenade” and on various posts on ChromeMusic! When i started our label Tanz Dich Glücklich last year, i approached Mat and asked him to remix one of his songs, and to our surprise Mat instantly gave us his entire long slate of releases to pick from (7 albums) !!

Mat put that much trust in us and our idea for the remixes that he didn’t hesitate a minute. But we didn’t want to simply remix it and add a beat to that already wonderful, emotionally packed material. We took Mats beautifully crafted vocals & melodies, filled with positive messages, and transported it into new musical landscapes where we re-produced and re-imagined (almost) everything to emphasize the emotional gravitas of Mats music, which then in return prompted Mat to even re-sing most of the material, leading to mostly original music. Here i would like to thank a few people especially who were involved in the process and helped me maintain the course w/o losing focus! I’d like to point out my partners from the almighty Riverside Studio in Berlin, especially Martin the head and chief of Kling Klong Records, Olli Laib, the mad musician who did productions for people like Alle Farben and figuratively everybody else, my long time buddy M-tech/Pitchben who used to be a very well known ITF hiphop DJ and played alongside A-Trak and the likes back in the day, and very much to my partner and my buddy Dominik Graf who is better known as 1/2 of Lakechild , who i also met through the blog 2 years back. They were all crucial and an essential part and framework in helping paint this bigger picture! Thank you all from the heart. You are all part of this!

It amounted to 12 brand-new songs which are being released as an album this September, also entitled “High Up!”

This organic/online collabo between The YUM YUM’s  & Mat McHugh, grew into a German/ Australian partnership, that is already planning ahead for more releases and preparing its first Germany & Holland tour this September.
