DORON KARAVANI – “Time to Rise”
Doron Karavani brings us his latest project “Time to Rise”, and that’s the real deal: packed with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of soul, Doron brought to life an album that’s more than just music: it’s his journey of turning struggles into strength. These nine tracks are pure, raw stories that’ll hit you with feelings that you’ve never experienced. Recorded at Magnusborg in Porvoo with an amazing band and some killer brass and backing vocals (shoutout to his daughters!), “Time to Rise” has this rich, Mediterranean blues vibe with layers of world influences. It’s all about making changes and bouncing back after life knocks you down. You could ask us how are Doron’s voice and lyrics, and we would answer that are deeply lived-in and relatable, but trust us, spin this album and you’ll be thinking, “If he can rise, so can I.”
LUNA – “Wild West”
LUNA’s back with her new single, Wild West, and it’s an absolute firecracker! This electro-pop anthem, crafted with UK producers Paul Dixon and Josh McClelland, is packed with fierce energy and deep reflections. From the first moments, the beat grabs you, pulling you into a spiral of lush synths and heart-pounding rhythms. LUNA’s voice soars and commands like a modern-day cowgirl taking on a world that’s equal parts wild and unpredictable! The track’s got some incredible layers: lyrically, it’s all about resilience, facing hidden fears, and pushing through the chaos to claim your dreams, but what really takes Wild West up a notch is its fearless production and LUNA’s powerful delivery. If this is a taste of her upcoming album, we’re in for a serious treat.
Proklaim – “CALL”
Guess who’s back? Yer, Proklaim is here, and trust us, his latest release “CALL” is the kind of high-energy rap tune that sticks with you for a while. This track has some pure vibes, and we wonder, what makes this song so special? Proklaim went full freestyle mode with the melodic chorus before locking in the verses. The result? A track that hits hard and leaves its mark. With a history of bangers that have been featured here on Space Sour, we can definitely say that Proklaim knows how to keep us hooked. “CALL” is not just another release; it’s an anthem rooted in Proklaim’s mantra: “Stay true to intuition.” It’s all about that authentic sound and feel-good energy that only he can deliver, and if you’re looking for a remarkable beat with soul-stirring lyrics, then this is the right tune for you.

The track blends dreamy melodies with deep bass and glitchy beats, true to Ivofonic’s signature style that’s got hints of legends like Chemical Brothers and Röyksopp vibes. What takes this version to the next level, though, is the custom visuals. Picture this: shifting silhouettes moving perfectly in sync with the beat, creating a hypnotic dance that pulls you right in. It’s not just eye candy; it’s a key part of the story, making the video as essential as the song itself. We’ll link it below, make sure you guys don’t miss this incredible project!

In this track, you’ll experience a moody synthscape, with smooth and rich vocals, nodding to ‘90s legends like Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton: a mix of soulful riffs with hypnotic beats, where vocals wrap around the melodies giving you chills while pumping up.
HAMILTON HOUND – “The Distance”
For this one, we are flying to England and here we are going to meet Hamilton Hound who together with James Mason and Lizz Arcane released an incredible track called The DIstance. The track is the perfect mix of rap/spoken word and soul. The instrumentation is very well curated, imagine yourself in a busy jazz club and in front of you a great whiskey sour, that’s the vibe. Now on stage, we have two amazing vocalists, and the chorus, sung by the female one is extremely charming and passionate. The track is at times dreamy, thanks to the soulful melody and sound design, but also very grounded thanks to the spoken words parts. It is a perfect balance, and incredibly catchy as well. If you’re a fan of these two worlds, definitely check it out.
ASTROMUSO – “The Mexican”
It is now time to visit one of our favourite countries in the world.

The track that we are showcasing today is called The Mexican and the vocals here are incredibly well delivered. Very charming and mesmerizing, and paired with some amazing guitars. The guitar tone and styles reminded us of Santana, mixed with a bit of Eagles. The arrangement is indeed incredible with a production that’s very well curated, taking the best of the classic rock and mixing this with some modern rock production. The song goes smoothly, and as soon as it finishes you’ll find yourself playing it again, believe us.
TEELDUB – “Time To Shine”
It is time to shine with this new track from TeeLdub and Slim So Serious. This inspirational track is called Time To Shine, maybe you already noticed, and we loved the uplifting vibes this tune has. The tune delivers some great vocals with a solid flow on the verses and a very catchy melody in the chorus. The two vocalists work perfectly together and complement each other. We loved the instrumentation and the wind instruments added, which make the song slightly more pop. Anyway, the track still has some in da face moments that we loved, with some old-school rap inspiration that we really dig. That’s the track we really needed during these cloudy days to uplift us, and if you’re in some bad time, that’s gonna be your new jam.
