Welcome to the Moon!

Finally Space travelers, it is officially Summer. We are ready for it, we are definitely ready for the whole festival season and we hope you are too. The tunes that we are going to show you today might be your next summer tunes obsession.

We already fell in love with these songs, which are going to uplift your day as well. Maybe you are still finishing your last exams or the last things for your oppressive job, but we assure you that this selection of tracks will enlighten your day and make you fly wherever you want in the world.

So, imagine yourself with your favorite cocktail in one hand, on an incredible eye-catching beach and this music in the background, and let’s all dive together and start knowing these amazing new artists.

Let the journey to the moon begin.

KAHONE CONCEPT – “Amicably”

The sound of this new artist that we are going to present is incredibly eclectic, taking the best from the 70s to the 90s music eras and blending everything with a modern production. Ben Kahone, singer-songwriter based in Pittsburgh, is the mind behind the music project Kahone Concept, and his latest tune “Amicably” shows his incredible skills.

Ben is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, and that makes a lot of sense while listening to the track, the top-notch production and arrangement present a groovy bassline and some funky guitars with an incredible sound design that reminisces the 70s.

The acoustic guitar and trumpets, in the end, give that humanity and soul the tune that really opens up the mix and finally, the synths add a sparkling feeling of the 80s and 90s. That’s an incredible recipe for an amazing tune, plus the lyrics and theme on this one are extremely self-reflective on the human interaction, and we love when lyricism is not mundane, even in extremely catchy songs like this one.

COUPDEKAT – “Imaginary Girl”

Here we go with another incredible artist from our favorite city in the world, we are talking about London of course. She’s very young, very talented, and she just released a really cohesive and consistent EP. Ladies and gentlemen…and space travelers, we present you Coupdekat. This hyper pop music project was born from the eclectic mind of Kat Reilly, and she just released her first EP called “Imaginary Girl”.

This is not just a regular release like the others, we could consider this as a concept EP, where all the tracks have a substantial theme that connects the tracks together. Coupdekat is part of Gen. Z and it is pretty clear that the internet and this web era, in general, had a huge influence and impact on her and her songwriting.

Being young and living your life during lockdown with just your cellphone as a companion is indeed something we (older, but not too old people), never really experienced in ut teenage years, and this EP very well encapsulates kind of feeling.

This is a Hyper-pop release and a very catchy pop 8-tracks EP, but there’s more than just that. There’s definitely a lot of glitch-pop inspiration and a lo-fi acoustic track called nepobaby in the middle of the EP that we definitely loved. Best tracks that you must listen to? We’d say Love Online for sure and F.Y.E.O. with its Drum and Bass vibes.

Her latest release “After Effects” left us speechless with its incredible sound, a pop/punk tune with trap elements that hits hard with its 808s, and the “out of this world” vocal melodies.

The tune starts the intro with some electric guitars, giving straight away that punk vibe with these nostalgic guitar riffs, followed by Jzzy’s voice where the tune starts breathing life with her magical timbre. The song follows with an instrumental punk chorus, opening right after with the trap elements where the song slightly changes sound, giving a completely whole new mood: amazing!

Thrilled to share this phenomenal band based in Los Angeles, UK, defined by an alt/pop sound with over 10 releases over the past 2 years, we give a huge welcome to the MIDNIGHT VILLAGE!

After listening to all of their releases, we can say that it’s pretty harmful assigning a categoric genre to these guys, we would say instead that their sound is a powerful mix of emotions and feelings that will accompany you during your daily routine, your car trip to the beach, your chilly evenings, let’s say literally anytime.

He describes himself as the robot from the future with the ability to translate your emotions through music. His first release is called “Trouble Maker”, it features some great female vocals and impressive sound quality.

The tune has a mellow/dark and nostalgic mood at times (during the pre-drop), with slappy basses and melodic elements, and definitely a “future” vibe which is very difficult to describe but you can feel it just listening to the song!

This is for sure the future sensation that will get you addicted and crave for more, we honestly can’t wait to see what else this robot is capable of!

HANNYTA – “Fluctuating”

Glad to host again here on SpaceSour the amazing singer and songwriter HANNYTA!

After being featured in one of our previous chapters, she’s back with another single, and also this time did not disappoint us!

The song is called “Fluctuating”, a dance/pop tune with nostalgic melodies and powerful melodic drops. The tune features bouncy basses and punchy drums, with few trance elements and stunning vocal lines, reminding us a bit of the style of the big Avicii at times.

Hannyta knows very well how to structure her lyrics and adjust them to the beat with wonderful melodies, with a perfect metric and a superb flow, proving herself her incredible songwriting skills with meaningful and reliable lyrics, definitely an artist with incredible potential just at the age of 17! Amazing work from here with this release, waiting for more!

AURELIA – “Wax” (Capshun Remix)

Aurelia is a New York producer, vocalist and visual artist also known as Gabriella Bavaro who just released her first single Wax. The single is an electro/dark pop tune with some intriguing vocal lines, which already show Aurelia’s peculiar style.

What we are presenting today is the remix made by Capshun, Dallas-based DJ and producer, which added a darker sound design to the track with a trippy drop with some mesmerizing vocal chops. The tune is more trap-based at times with some hard-sounding subs and 808 bass synths.

Capshun adds some techno/dubstep synth that makes the song more aggressive at times, but still keeps the catchiness and mysterious vibes of the original tune. This would sound amazing in an electronic music venue like the worldly famous “Fabric” here in London, and it’s indeed not really hard to imagine these two artists travel the globe and taking over the world with their sound.

ARIN – “Own Worst Enemy”

It is always exciting for us to introduce a music project that is based in London, and this one is pretty special. Arin, is a singer-songwriter based indeed in London, and his new anthemic pop tune is called “Own Worst Enemy”.

This tune is incredibly catchy and extremely radio-friendly, it would sound perfect after an Ed Sheeran tune, and we do hope that this stuff would hit all the major radios in the city. From the guitar riffs to the synth choice, everything is perfectly merged together in the mix.

This electro-pop song, even tho is extremely catchy, present a slightly melancholic melody, which perfectly stays in line with the lyrics. When we do all sorts of mistakes and we feel we are the only ones to blame when we feel we are our own worst enemy. It does hit hard.

A Lone Acacia – “Hemispheres”

Hemispheres is the debut single from A Lone Acacia. He is a songwriter, musician and producer based in Birmingham. This tune made as fly in a completely different landscape, he created an entire world, describing it through sound.

The song starts with a piano pattern that is going to accompany us through the whole song. Different elements are added when the song continues to grow, starting with the drum and then a rhythmic acoustic guitar that gives a whole new depth to the song.

The sound design is extremely cinematic and has a subtle epic tone, that still maintains the core emotional message of the song, which is mainly relaxing and chill. At least this is what we felt, comparing this to works of other great artists like Moby or Massive Attack. A Lone Acacia created a solid tune that has nothing to envy from other big artists.

Jordan Jones – “Flawless”

Jordan Jones is now part of the Space Sour family, we already covered his past single Stumble and we are extremely excited to show you his last single Flawless. Jordan Jones knows how to write an RnB song that still sounds modern and peculiar, something that not everyone is able to do.

We are already familiar with Jordan Jones’ productions and also this one is pretty Flawless, indeed that’s also the name of the song. The beat takes some RnB and pop elements and merges them with a Trap-ish drum and 808 bass, which makes the tune sound even more tri-dimensional.

Jordan presents this song as a Sunday vibes tune. Everyone has different feelings for this particular day, but if you let yourself slide into this tune, it’s going to make all your thoughts and problems go away, and just enjoy your Sunday, with Jordan’s soothing melody as the theme music for your day.

DJ G-STRING & TC5Official – “I Want You To Know”

This tune we are going to present to you is a collaboration between DJ G-Strings and TC5Official. These two incredible producers joined forces to make this new tune called “I want you to know”.

We already announced summer has finally arrived, and we can be happier than this because we can finally listen to some great house songs like this one, and imagine ourselves drinking a Pina Colada during an Ibiza Happy Hour Party next on the beach.

That’s an incredibly solid house tune like we’ve never listened to before. The vocals are extremely well produced and perfectly match and merge with the instrumentals. The Kick and snap set the right rhythm throughout the song, with the right equalization and effects which already makes you feel like you enjoy this tune during a live DJ set. Definitely one of the songs that will accompany has for our whole summer.

Emanuele Rosi All, Best of the month A lone acacia, best of the month, best of the moon, Chris culfield, Daverage j. normal, dubstep, Electro pop, electronic, electronic house, Henry aberson, house, Indie pop, joyeur, loveta, Mini sants, Natalie rogers, Ozz Gold, Pete hollis, pop, Rombolini matteo, Rye catchers, seduoze, sø, techno, The river, There's talk, Tim Scott, v-train, WOTTS

Welcome to the Moon!

Summer is coming, you can feel it in the streets, as Childish Gambino would say. We are feeling it, and we bet you are feeling it too… come on, it’s in the air.

We cannot wait to dive into the Summer and participate in this busy Music Festival Schedule ahead. And that’s because we brought you all these incredible tunes this month, that will keep you company while trying to make yourself busy in this very painful wait.

“Every day gets hotter than the one before”, not here in the UK though. In our beloved cold and humid London weather (sigh) happens quite the contrary. But all these tunes that we are going to showcase today definitely moved us and warmed our bodies. It is not possible to stay still while listening to these songs Space Traveller, we warned you.

Let the journey to the moon begin.

Mini Sants – “Stay”

Mini Sants is a producer based in New York, who just released his new single “Stay” featuring Oli-J. Even though Mini Sants is based in a city that is cold most of the year, his last tune is incredibly warm and summery.

We can easily imagine ourselves near the beach during the sunset, with this song in the background. The vocal melody from Oli-J perfectly merges with the rest of the instrumentation, being co-protagonist together with the Future Bass synths.

The sound design is incredibly well-curated and gives also space to the very groovy drum kit used here. The trumpet that comes towards the end, really took us by surprise, but it fits perfectly with the sunny mood of the track. “Stay” conveys warm and positive vibes, and it’s the perfect tune to put on the radio while going to the beach

Sø – “Involved”

Atlanta-based Producer SØ and singer-songwriter Notifi, recently put out an incredibly catchy tune called “Involved”. We’re glad that the internet exists, otherwise, this beautiful collaboration would never happen, the duo meet indeed on the web, and then recorded and produced the track together in Miami.

This track was recorded last summer, and has indeed some nice warm vibes that make this tune easily a solid summer hit. The drum slightly reminisces a reggaeton rhythm, however, it keeps a smooth sound that doesn’t overwhelm the mix and gives a lot of space to Notifi’s vocals.

Notifi adds an RnB approach, with an outstanding performance that showcases his talent and his perfect control of the melody notes. The bass synth gives more depth to the song creating a sound design that steps more into the Synthwave genre. We loved this track fondly, and it’s going to accompany us during the summer as well, hoping that this incredible duo will collaborate again to some other tunes.

Rombolini Matteo – “I AM ROMBO 2.0”

The festival season is near and Rombolini Matteo is extremely aware of that. His new tune called I AM ROMBO 2.0 has an incredibly well-curated sound design that stands perfectly in both Hardstyle and EDM genres.

Rombolini Matteo is originally from Livorno, Italy, but it sounds absolutely International, we can easily figure him next to other big names like Don Diablo, Headhunterz and Salvatore Ganacci. It won’t be a surprise for us to see him on the next Tomorrowland line-up.

Rombolini definitely knows how to keep his audience entertained, every drop sounds a little different and the build-ups and FX used in the track are perfectly crafted with in mind a jumping audience ready to smash everything. If you have the possibility to see Rombolini Matteo live, don’t absolutely miss this chance.

There’s Talk – “Lightleak”

There’s Talk is a trio band formed in Oakland, California, and their dreamy and mesmerizing sound is at its best on their last single “Lightleak”.

“Lightleak” is an electronic-based song with some shoegaze vibes and effects that are less typical of the genre but that sound amazingly on Olivia Lee’s vocals. The reverbs and delay create a peaceful soundscape where multiple layers of vocals give a sense of distance and melancholy.

The melody is indeed very melancholic and nostalgic, emotions that are reinforced by Olivia’s lyrics, that with clever and poetic metaphors talk about the condition of being beaten down and slowly finding the light and a way to rise up again. Themes that a lot of people can relate to, that’s indeed an uplifting tune that all Dream Pop aficionados should not miss.

Joyeur – “Underbelly”

Joyeur is a singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles and she just released in the 25th of May her debut album “How to Love Yourself and Not Destroy Everything”, which we are also going to cover more in-depth in one of our Space Discoveries.

Her lead single for the album is “Underbelly”, an anthemic electro-pop track that has a music video also co-directed by Joyeur, which you can find here. The main theme of this song, which is also greatly portrayed by the music, is trying to expose yourself, and show who you really are. Under the clothes, inside our body, who are we?

In the music video, we see Joyeur constantly changing clothes, and the renounce on all of them exposing her true self. The track is extremely well produced with a drum kit that resembles some Nine Inch Nails instrumentals and a catchy melody that reminded us of works from Banks and Japanese Breakfast. Underbelly is a very solid lead single, anyway, we really suggest you listen to the whole album to understand Joyeur’s true nature and musical nuances.

Natalie Rogers – “Full Body”

After extensive experience working in a piano bar, Natalie Rogers just came back after 6 years of hiatus with an incredibly catchy pop track called “Full Body”. All this time gave her enough expertise to produce the entire song on her own.

Even though it is totally self-produced the tune is incredibly solid. The arrangement presents a funky bassline that perfectly merges with the other instruments and synths. The chords donate a soul/RnB feel to the song, the melody though is more pop-centered, and adds the right catchiness to the track.

The vocals and chords reminded us of early works from Frank Ocean, and while the production definitely reminisces Charlie Puth’s works. This electro-pop came out at the right time, just before summer started, a perfect soundtrack for a warm afternoon near the shore.

Daverage J. Normal – “Incredulous”

Based in the UK, London, this DJ and electronic producer will stay in our minds for a really long time. Coming to an epiphany after having been working on music every day for 70 days, Daverage J. Normal came to us with this savage Dark Wave tune called Incredulous.

Daverage’s work reminded us of Carpenter Brut at times, anyway Daverage J. Normal us an incredibly unique sound. Merging techno and retro wave elements, he created a vivid sound design full of instrumental layers where the protagonist is the immense bass synth sound.

Daverage J. Normal‘s music slaps you in the face harder than you think. Not even Will Smith will reach the magnitude of this song’s slapiness. Perfect tune for a dark techno club night, we can imagine ourselves walking in the club with our cocktail in our hand, feeling extremely cool.

Henry Aberson – “Hang It Up”

Henry Aberson, a drummer based in Tulsa, just released this soul song called “Hang It Up”. The vocalist in this song is Nariah Taylor, an incredible singer that with her smooth and chill style brings a flawless performance to the track.

Her style and melody reminded us of Corrine Cailey Rae at times, but with a more soul-ish approach to the songwriting. On the piano, there’s the craft of Korey Keys, based in Los Angeles, that creates a soft layer of sound design that reminisces Ray Mankazarek’s songwriting with his smooth organ sound and virtuosity.

The drums, made by Henry Aberson, perfectly accompany all the instruments and vocal melody giving the right space to every pattern and riff. All the fills made by Henry Aberson, while they might be seen as minimal, are all well thought out and in line with this incredibly calming soul tune. Perfect song to hear during the evening while sipping a whiskey on the balcony, letting the bad thoughts wash away.

OZZ GOLD – “Rest Of Me”

Ozz Gold is a DJ and producer based in Las Vegas, and with his last tune “Rest Of Me”, he’s already making us eager to go to a sunny electronic music festival this summer.

Ozz Gold sound is extremely solid, and this house tune proves how he can craft a perfect build-up with a chorus full of greatly designed synths. The catchiness of the arrangement and structure reminded us of Calvin Harris, even though when Calvin’s singing brings a baritone approach to the song, Ozz Gold’s vocals are definitely higher, tenor-like, which opens up the song even more.

The track merges perfectly elements from both progressive house and tropical house, with some uplifting tunes, typical of the EDM culture. This song will help you to be set free from your problems and finally move on, themes that most people will feel related to, and we would love to sing the chorus in a busy festival like ULTRA, just to name one…

Chris Caulfield – “Feelings”

Chris Caufield is a musician based in Toronto, Canada and producer StoneBridge just released this new remix of Chris Caufield’s tune called “Feeling”.

On his original tunes, Chris creates a sound design that takes inspiration from lo-fi, and alternative rock music. Anyway in this new rendition StoneBridge brings Chris’ vocals into a totally different realm.

This remix is more EDM fused, with a techno minimal drum approach, that still keeps Chris’ raw energy and his peculiar style that stands perfectly between rock and hip hop.

We love listening to remixes that give a different twist and meaning to a tune, and StoneBridge did his job perfectly, crafting some amazing synths and build-up that would sound on a club night or on a happy house during sunset.
