NIERI – “Talk To Me”
After a relationship is established, there comes that moment when the couple should be honest with each other. That’s a liminal space, described perfectly by the latest track delivered from Nieri and called Talk To Me. We felt the track extremely honest, and the vocals reflect the emotions described by the lyrics perfectly. While intimate the track is very uplifting, and we loved the EDM-inspired instrumentation, which reminded us or 2000s productions from Madonna with a sparkle of Daft Punk on top. The result is this incredible Electro Pop track with some anthemic vibes. Perfect for the end of the summer.
MANETIX – “Turn Off”
Believe us when we say that staying relevant in the electronic world is extremely hard. This is one of the most difficult genre to produce, yet Manetrix surprised us with his latest release called Turn Off. Seriously, the production and sound design of this track is incredible. The producer was able to merge different electronic genres, from EDM to Techno and a bit of Hardstyle. The result is a track that will sound amazing on a sound system. It might be a busy mainstream music festival or a private rave party, this track will sound amazing either way. Let’s start by blasting this through your speakers though!!.

This sounds incredibly modern, but it has some vintage inspirations, especially in the sound design and the vocal performance. The track constantly evolves, anyway, while in certain parts the track almost becomes Beatles-esque, this still maintains some modern ear candies that will remind you how contemporary this song is still.

The production was able to elevate Carrie’s performance while keeping the production extremely relevant, with elements that go from Electro-pop to piano-soundtracks.
