Welcome to the Moon!

Are you ready for this one? We are ready for it. These are the best tunes from this September and we had a lot of fun listening to all these incredible artists.

As always during the Best Of The Moon, we don’t look at genres and bring you the best in Electronic, Pop, and RnB music.

That’s a lot to cover up today, but we will promise you that the 10 music projects we will present to you today are going to brighten your day and give you the strength to accept that indeed Summer is freaking finished and you need to get over it… seriously. We are also talking to ourselves as well by the way, we are still not over it…

Let the journey to the moon begin.

WOTTS – “NO TAKE BACKS”

Did someone say Wotts? Yes, exactly! They are back with another tune, and as we know, they never disappoint us. For those who don’t know this sick duo yet, we recommend you read something about them here for their latest cover, or here for one of their previous releases.

“No Take Backs” is their latest single released just a month ago: even though their style is easily distinguishable, we noticed that their sound becomes stronger with every release, with a brighter and more polished sound selection.

In this tune, they bring in a sort of funky style and a hint of 90s vibes, featuring a solid groovy bassline and some catchy vocal lines. Of course, these are the hot points of the track, but the song carries something even hotter: we talking about all the little details around the song, from the drum fills, to the distortion fx added to the vocals, the guitar solos and the incredible sounding synths, this tune is a masterpiece that will hook you like crazy with its nostalgic vibes. This is quite unmissable in our opinion, don’t miss out!

SOFIA EVANGELINA – “Get Outta My Head”

Our next host is the incredibly young talent SOFIA EVANGELINA. She is a Canadian singer and songwriter based in Dubai. Her style is a mix of soul/R&B/pop, with a unique and characteristic voice: clean, angelic, soft, and powerful when needed, this amazing artist will surely hit your soul with her majestic music.

“Get Outta My Head” is her first single out in 2022 with other songs soon to come out anticipating her upcoming album in 2023. Sofia Evangelina is only 19, yet her voice, themes and attitude sound way more mature.

The production that surrounds her vocals is incredibly well-curated merging different genres, and instrumentations that often are left behind in today’s music.

The bassline is outstanding here, and the added subs make the release sound even more modern, piano and synths create an ethereal layer that gives enough space to Sofia and her crazy melody lines to really shine. She has a bright future ahead and we wish her all the best.

ALLEGRA – “He Ain’t You”

Allegra is a British artist, singer, and songwriter, with over 10k monthly listeners and many releases, remixed by many producers like R3hab, just to name one.

We don’t wonder why artists love to remix her music: Allegra is an incredible talent, and her voice will get stuck in your head once you listen to any of her songs, you will never get enough of it!

Her latest release is called “He Ain’t You”, a stunning pop production that got remixed by other artists, giving life to a brilliant EP that features 4 incredible remixes of this song.

The one we liked the most is the one remixed by Sebastian Perez, a worldwide DJ & Music Producer from Europe, who has recently shot into the limelight in the past 12 months, with chart-topping remixes and productions.

His take on “He Ain’t You” is something phenomenal: a dance remix with a hint of that game-changing 90s vibes, featuring a solid groove and a polished sound design. Needless to talk about the quality of the mix, everything is unbelievably clean and all the elements are easily noticeable. Such a wonderful tune, we are pretty sure you’ll fall in love with this one!

ENISA – “Zoom”

We’re very excited to have with us a stunning singer and songwriter with millions of streams and half a million followers around the world: we want to give a warmly welcome to ENISA!

This incredible artist has a notable and impressive voice, a vocal timbre extremely characteristic, and a flow that will definitely hook you like crazy.

Her latest release “Zoom” is a dance/pop tune that honestly left us speechless by the quality of the production: a minimal and clean sound design with catchy vocal lines and remarkable drops.

The groove and the sound of the drums are the main focus along the vocals, making sure that the listener gets engaged with a great rhythm to let them dance.

Enisa has the ability to capture your ears with these “never-granted” melodies and captivating lyrics, combined with the perfect musical arrangement, this song is definitely a solid hit that will be listened to for a long time. The song is 2-minutes long, that’s the reason why we can’t get enough of it: It’s too short! Since 2 minutes are already gone, we’re going to press play again! Don’t miss out!

KRIS JAMES – “The Way You Move”

We fly over to United Kingdom for this next artist. He’s an amazing singer, fresh from an amazing Tour supporting Anastacia, and his name is Kris James.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that Kris was chosen to play before such a great pop star as Anastacia, as Kris James songs are extremely catchy and present a happy pop formula that will make you forget that summer is over.

He’s last single is called “The Way You Move” and it is also his first single in 2022, an Anthemic Pop tune with some Funk inspiration, perfect for everyone that misses early 2000s pop tunes, the ones that were all over the radio and made your summer special. Kris’ vocals are extremely passionate and heartfelt, and we are incredibly in love with his falsettos.

Kris also released an EP full of great remixes of this absolute banger, which you can listen to here.

7000APART – “Whole Lot Left To Lose”

We now present you a band with an incredible story behind. They are called 7000apart, and the duo is formed by Amelie Eiding and Jon Kresin. That’s a husband-wife pop duo that met each other during high school. She traveled to United States to Sweden and fell in love with Jon.

She eventually had to come back to Sweden, but luckily this incredible couple manage to marry in 2016, and the band is indeed called 700apart referring to the miles of the distance they ended up being.

They just released their third single in 2022 and it is called “Whole Lot Left to Lose” and that’s an extremely catchy Indie Pop tune with a whistled chorus melody that will get stuck in your head for a long long time. Talking about insecurities and some mental states that might end up limiting us, that’s a tune that will inspire you while being incredibly pop yet honest. If you’re having a bad day, this song and this band in general will cheer you up for sure.

TAYLOR B-W – “BTW TBW”

Now we have, an incredibly catchy pop release to present to you. We are now jumping in the sunny Sydney in Australia and bring to you Taylor B-W, she just released her EP called “BTW TBW” an impressive 6-song release, that will surprise you for its incredible catchiness and even pathos on some of its songs.

This was produced by Liam Quinn (Rita Ora, Lime Cordiale, Peach PRC), and the first tune is called “I’m so Broke” which is the perfect introduction to Taylor’s music, very catchy and funny track, written during the second lockdown in Sydney. Indeed, the EP talks about Taylor’s life over the past 6 years.

She also jumps into other genres including reggaeton but always keeping those melody lines that often reminisces 90s or early 2000s pop songs, which in our opinion were the best decades for pop music. Walk On Fire, Tears Of Coal and Stain are incredibly anthemic and seem written for even bigger pop stars like Beyonce or Lady Gaga for all the energy they bring, and Taylor is in fact proving to be absolutely worthy of sharing the stage with bigger stars.

CHRISTINA LI – “No Sleep”

Christina Li is a singer-songwriter from New York City and she recently released her new song “No Sleep”. Christina’s voice is incredibly dreamy and soothing, especially in her last tune.

This dream pop track has a very peculiar theme, talking about the beginning of her relationship with her girlfriend, not yet ready to come out.

The song conveys perfectly that feeling of intimacy, and the chord progression and arrangement fit perfectly the storytelling, with a Soul and RnB feel that sounds extremely new, calming yet uplifting.

This song made us feel really dreamy and also in love, as you can feel the pure love flowing out of this extremely catchy tune, and we are sure you will feel it too, making your day more colorful and positive.

LUKX – “Get Shit Done”

Let’s get shit done. C’mon let’s be serious. We all have shit to finish, and sometimes we leave all this stuff behind, but if you need to have something that will help you move your ass, you can definitely listen to Lukx‘s last tune called “Get Shit Done”.

This last release from Belgian singer and rapper is a father and son effort that sounds extremely consistent. Merging elements from Hip Hop to Rap and Pop, this tune makes us feel also a lot of UK street vibes.

This tune helped us Get Shit Done, we probably wouldn’t have been able to finish the article if it wasn’t for this single, or at least it inspired us to get it done and move to some of our other shit. The beat has some future bass synth and groovy drum that will make moving your ass on the dancefloor, or at least headbanging in front of the laptop like us.

K-SYRAN – “So In Love With You”

We are excited to have with us this multi-talented artist with loads of experience, releasing music since 2014 and hitting US billboards: this is K-SYRAN.

She’s not just a normal singer, she’s also an actress, author, director, and lyricist, not to mention as an impassioned activist for women’s rights.

Her latest release “So In Love With You” in collaboration with StoneBridge came out as a single in 3 different versions: one radio edit, one extended mix, and one club mix edited by Block & Crown: this is a great stylistic choice and we loved that fact that we can listen to the different variations of the song.

The StoneBridge Mix got us with its amazing groove and the catchy melodies, combined with the angelic vocals of K-SYRAN its pretty difficult to stay still on the dance floor, it will definitely makes you move like crazy untill the end of the party!

We are pretty sure you’ll get “so in love with it”!

Best of the Moon: Best Tracks of the Month – Chapter Eight

Emanuele Rosi All, Best of the month Anna belle, Audreal gillet, best of the month, best of the moon, covinos, dubstep, Electro pop, electronic, electronic house, HANNAH DORMAN, house, Indie pop, JEwelia, KING KISMET, meadowship, Ozz Gold, pop, Steve breuer, Taylor roche, techno, THE DOMAIN

Welcome to the Moon!

August is finished we are afraid to say. But not the great music, that’s for sure. We can feel that this Summer is going towards its closure, the melancholy is stronger, and so is the main theme of the tracks proposed today.

We do feel that all the artists we are going to show today have created some incredibly catchy tunes, still ideal for the summer vibe. Anyway, you can hear on these that feeling that everything is not forever, and we should stop a second and appreciate these last moments of holiday we are having.

We hope that your vacations have been exceptional and that these artists’ soundtracks are going to help you start again the everyday hustle and bustle we experience most of the year. they definitely made our dream and wish this summer was never over. Anyway, let’s get back on track, and let’s take a look at this month’s best artist list.

Let the journey to the moon begin.

OZZ GOLD – “When I’m With You”

OZZ GOLD is back to delight us with his sound once again here on SpaceSour, when summer looks like is ready to vanish but Ozz Gold comes in the right moment to bring it back and hold it for a bit longer. His latest single “When I’m With You” is exactly what we need to open the dancefloor: a dance tune that features beautiful and dreamy vocals, with a hint of nostalgic feelings but that will set you in a good and happy mood even after the song is over.

The sound design is minimal; melodic arpeggio plucks and warm ambient synths give a dreamy atmosphere to the verses, with a relaxed vibe the song builds up perfectly leading to a spectacular drop playing remarkable melodies in a full summer-ish style.

The bouncy basses add an outstanding groove to the drop, making it even more enjoyable, followed by punchy drums that reach your chest in a proper manner.

This is another masterpiece from this artist, loop mode activated!

INSTAGRAM

HANNAH DORMAN – “222”

Pop-Rock is not dead and we also need to thank artists like Hannah Dorman for this, an English singer-songwriter from Surrey who just released her first EP called “222″.

Many famous artists are now getting back to the punk rock sound, but many new artists are putting their twist on this genre and Hannah Dorman is one of those. On her EP she merges nuances of pop rock, 80s synthpop and electro-pop in a seamless way. Her song “No Boys Allowed” even touches some industrial rock vibes that we really dig.

The song we are going to present to you today from the EP is “Gasoline”, which is the first track from the release and the one that got stuck in our minds the most. The tune has some great electric guitars that reminisce the latest Machine Gun Kelly’s two albums.

An energetic vocal performance adds that pop-rock vibe that blinks at Olivia Rodrigo’s style but with that edgy twist that we loved. Plus that anthemic chorus is gonna get stuck in your head for a long time, if you miss Avril Lavigne’s 2000s vocal lines, that’s your jam.

THE DOMAIN – “Favorite Mistake”

Thrilled to bring here some groovy retro vibes with the sound of THE DOMAIN, an incredible artist with just 2 singles released but with loads of experience from his studies and his previous projects. His latest release called “Favorite Mistake” is a dance tune in collaboration with the New York-based singer LOUSY that definitely brings an outstanding touch to the song.

This release is not just a classic dance tune: Favorite Mistake carries a nostalgic mood with its 80s sound design and its great chord progressions, but also an enjoyable happy vibe with a solid groove and remarkable vocal lines. This duo works incredibly well in this track, where the energy of the instrumental is able to host in a perfect manner the vocal range of the singer, making the song extremely pleasant to listen to.

This is for sure one of these songs that you don’t really want to miss: solid groove, clever lyrics, excellent dynamic, just hit the favorite button, what are you waiting for?!

AUDREAL GILLETT – “Memories”

The next track on this list really GOT THE FUNK. This bouncy tune was recently released by producer and composer Covinos, an incredibly talented and young artist based in Boston.

The name of the song is indeed Got The Funk, an incredibly entertaining and danceable tune, that would sound great both on a happy hour sunset DJ set along the beach and on a club night in a busy London venue.

Covinos, is able to merge flawlessly different music genres from house to funk and techno. The sound design and synth selection slightly reminded us of some of the tunes out of the last two Calvin Harris’ albums, also these ones dedicated to funk music.

The clever experimentations on this track instead, made us dive back into some Daft Punk early releases, the wackiest ones. That’s an eclectic Funky Techno tune you shouldn’t miss.

INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE

JEWELIA – “No Lover”

JEWELIA is the pop-star sensation that will breathe life into your playlist. This incredible singer and songwriter from London, UK, has been releasing music since 2014 with a music catalog of over 20 tracks recorded during these years.

Her latest release “No Lover” definitely brings up a nostalgic mood in a unique way, featuring groovy retro drum patterns with melodic elements and funky rhythmic guitars.

The vocals have an outstanding production here, with special care on the choirs and back vocals; we honestly loved the energy of the chorus where they literally show their best.

The production has impressive attention to detail, from the short fx sounds to the clean groove of the drums and percussion, the song is curated in every aspect with a perfectionist attitude. Definitely a remarkable tune from Jewelia, the kind of tune that your brain will play when you are on your daily tasks, especially when you less expect it!

TAYLOR ROCHE – “Day&night”

Space Travellers, the next one is thrilling, and we are not joking. We want to introduce TAYLOR ROCHE in this best of the moon, but with a serious warning: his music is extremely addictive. His sound has a fresh modern pop vibe mixed with strong retro 80s vibes that bring back nostalgic feelings, and we are not ashamed to tell you that we literally ended up making a playlist just with his music, listening to it non-stop for days.

Taylor is a singer and songwriter from Auckland, New Zealand, and so far he didn’t miss even one, all of his tracks are bangers.

His latest release “Day&night” is an upbeat 80s synthpop production that features groovy basslines, delightful synths, and powerful drums, all garnished with a sick and neat sound design.

Taylor’s voice definitely gives the song a unique touch, with an extremely peculiar timbre and a brilliant dynamic. The production of the vocals is impressive here: distortions, back vocals, vocal chops, and vocalizes definitely add richness to the track and make it exciting to listen to.

We could talk about this for hours, but let’s do ourselves a favor, just press play here:

Sounds In Projects – “Look Pretty”

This next production is from a German DJ and producer called Steve Breuer, we were really struck by the sound design of this one, which made us dive into an incredible production that merges different electronic genres from Progressive House to Techno and Electronic Dance Music.

Steve Breuer is indeed the mastermind behind the music project Sounds in Projects which just delivered this incredible tune called “Look Pretty”. The beautiful melody makes this tune perfect for a summer radio playlist and even great for a club night thanks to its Tech Mix version.

The “Tech Mix” keep the melodic charge “Look Pretty” but adds some steroids to the instrumentation, especially to the kick and bass which pump everything up into an incredibly danceable track that would sound amazingly during Music Festivals like Ultra or even Tomorrowland. An incredibly tasty House release, you should not miss.

MEADOWHIP – ”Am I Broken”

It’s time to chill a little bit with this next artist we are going to present to you. She’s an Australian-based singer-songwriter called Cara Walkam, and her music project is called meadowhip. She recently release her single “Am I Broken”, a song whose theme might represent you as well.

We personally found ourselves at different times wondering if we were the real problem inside an intimate relationship. This song represents the internal dialogue Cara is having, wondering if she’s the real problem, and sometimes taking the blame for the things that didn’t work out.

The vocal style add that soul melancholic vibe we really loved, matching perfectly the theme. The instrumentation adds a groovy and funky bassline and an effective guitar along the way that adds that depth and brightness that the other instruments express in another part of the mix.

We loved the addition of the trumpets during and at the end of the tune, creating almost a dramatic moment and a great escalation that uplifts the song and also our mood.

ANNA BELLE – “Dreams (Late At Night)”

With this next artist, we are going to take a time machine and go back to the 80s. She’s called Anna Belle, and she just released a song called Dreams (Late at Night). That’s her first single in 2022 after the EP released in 2021 called “Barely functional.”.

She kept her music genre incredibly consistent throughout every release proposing 80s Synthpop tracks, that really seem they come from that era. Everything from the production to the sound design is curated to the minimum detail, even the vocal style reminisces those peculiar performances from 80s female singers.

That’s something you wouldn’t expect from an artist from Nashville. Country and Americana were not an option for her style, and we are glad to hear some vintage-sounding synths and reverbs finally. What’s even more surprising is that Anna produced everything by herself. An outstanding release from an artist you should absolutely take a look at.

INSTAGRAM | TIKTOK | YOUTUBE

KING KISMET – “Call Me”

KING KISMET is back with another incredible single, and this is a real banger. After being with us in Chapter 2 (article here), it didn’t take a lot to find out that this incredible artist has gained the likes of the public with his unique sound, and we are glad to have him here once again.

His latest release “Call Me” is a pop/future bass song that definitely proves how skilled this artist is: a powerful sound that features melodic guitars, sharp synths, deep basses, and some incredible vocals.

The track sets you in a melancholic mood from the beginning, but also give you some hopeful feelings when the vocals join the verse: here we’ll be guided by the groove of the drums, and amazed by the production of the vocal lines, with incredible vocoders/vocal chops. This tune gets extremely remarkable thanks to this elaborated sound, and honestly, we never heard anything like this out there, making this song a great surprise and a sick discovery. We’ll loop it for a while, that’s for sure!

Best of the Moon: Best Tracks of the Month – Chapter Seven

Emanuele Rosi All, Best of the month Alex Slay, best of the month, best of the moon, CHARLEY, dubstep, Electro pop, electronic, electronic house, FIFTH LUCKY DRAGON, Georgia Hoareau, HANNAH DORMAN, house, Indie pop, KEVIN WHITAKER, MAJA KRISTINA, Maya Yenn, MOON AND ARIES, Ozz Gold, pop, RED SKIES MOURNING, Sahara Beck, SIKA VALMÉ, techno, TONY ZOO, TORTURED SOUL, WOTTS

Welcome to the Moon!

The festival season has already begun, we have been to some amazing festivals and concerts so far, and we hope you had the opportunity to explore some events as well.

In case you didn’t have the possibility to roam a music festival and discover some new acts, don’t worry, we got you covered. Here we are going to present you the best discoveries of the last month and a little bit above as well.

We got some Electronic Pop and some Funky tunes that will make you move and jump and dance like you’re indeed at a very music festival. unfortunately, we don’t have shitty bathrooms and noisy campsites that won’t make you sleep at night, we hope that’s not a problem.

Let the journey to the moon begin.

CHARLEY – “Runnin’”

The first artist that’s gonna open this Best of The Moon article is a singer from New Haven, US called CHARLEY who just put out her second single called Runnin’. This summer vibes tune is extremely catchy merging different genres from 70s Disco Music to Blues.

All done in a seamless way thanks to the incredible production which highlights every instrument and CHARLEY’s vocals at the same time.

The funky guitars and groovy bassline reminded us a bit of Jamiroquai, anyway the vocal style is pure Country energy. No Wonder she’s going to open for acts like Stevie Nicks, Brandi Carlile and Dave Matthew’s band.

This reckless cowgirl definitely stole our heart with her whip and we are looking forward to seeing what she’s going to put out next.

MAYA YENN – “Better Luck Next Time”

Maya Yenn was just selected for the British Independent Film Festival for her last Music Video for “How Much Can You Swallow”, which we covered in one of our past Best Of The Moon articles, but she didn’t stop there.

She indeed released another very catchy tune called “Better Luck Next Time”. Maya Yenn is here wearing an oversized suit, playing the role of a businessman. Through the lyrics of the song, we can imagine this hard-working man still incredibly busy while the airplane was instead crashing down.

Such a relevant theme, about the dichotomy of work and life (or maybe death in this case). We always think that day by day we are following a path and going somewhere, but is it really like this?

That’s why we love Maya Yenn, while singing this incredibly funny track, reminiscing of some of early Billie Eilish tracks, she is able to talk about this very philosophical theme, with a sad verse and over-the-top happy chorus. We are still not sure if the 9-5 option makes sense, but one thing is sure, Maya wearing a suit and drinking a martini in the lyric video (here) is definitely more badass than us.

Tony Zoo – “Night Rider”

TONY ZOO is an incredible independent artist from Athens, Greece, and he says that producing music is just a hobby for him, but it doesn’t seem like that since what we heard so far sounds impressive and very interesting!

What we loved about this artist is his experimentation and development of analog sounds that are difficult to find in the music industry right now, making his music pretty unique and peculiar.

His latest single “Night Rider” is a retro/80s-style song with groovy drum patterns and vintage synths that literally drives you to another dimension thanks to the outstanding mood of the tune and the remarkable sound design.

This is a song that will relax and ease off your mind, definitely the right tune to listen to after a long day of work or a chill evening!

SAHARA BECK – “AND HER KRYPTONITE”

We are insanely glad to host once again here on SpaceSour the incredible talent SAHARA BECK, and finally introduce her brand new EP released just a month ago: a 5 tracks EP called “And Her Kryptonite” and it includes some old and new tracks.

The EP starts with “Crave Me” and “Kryptonite”, the first 2 tracks released in 2021 that truly express inner Sahara’s personality, definitely a great start also for the new listeners to familiarize themselves with her sound and proceed with the listening of the rest of the EP.

“Nothing Wrong With That” comes next, and is a new release that came out with this EP: literally a masterpiece with flawless vocal production and a musical arrangement like no others, this song could easily be a soundtrack of a movie, or maybe just the soundtrack of your life..!

The ep keeps going with “Stillness” ( included on our OuterSpace Vol.2) and “Teenage Dirtbag” which is her latest single and also our favorite tune of this EP. This latest release is quite different from her main style: is an acoustic production with a delicate and cozy touch that left us speechless, with a beautiful and emotional melody and Sahara’s magnificent voice, in our opinion this release shows the “raw” her, and her incredible skills that prove once again that she’s a true talent.

Moon And Aries – “Paradise”

We are delighted to have with us MOON AND ARIES in this Best Of the Month selection, after knowing a bit more of them with a recent Space Discovery (if you missed it you can find the article here), they had the time to work on their latest EP called “Paradise”.

Needless to say that this EP is another piece of art: a total of 5 tracks that will bring us on a dreamy expedition to the moon with their exceptionally unique sound.

“Take Me Home” is the first track, featuring ethereal pads and acoustic drums, graceful vocals, and deep lyrics, definitely the right way to start an EP.

It follows with “Silence”, a slow tempo and soft tune with a more compelling melody, at times melancholic, for sure the kind of song that can calm and reassure you after a bad day.

“Angels And Demons” is the third song, and with it, Moon and Aries will carry us to the exploration of the unknown with thrilling melodies and exquisite plucks.

“Paradise” as the name of the EP, is an enchanting production and that’s also our favorite track: an epic soundtrack that will easily get stuck in your mind with its beautiful vocals.

The ending track “Mercury” is probably the perfect way to end this EP and briefly summarise what we have listened to so far, featuring an enticing instrumental song that let us understand that sometimes we don’t need words to explain something, just let the music talk.

Georgia Hoareau – “GIRL”

Excited to share this young talented singer and songwriter from Gold Coast, Australia, with some releases already aired on the radio we are confident this artist is on the right path to hitting the billboards: welcoming here in this best selection for this month’s GEORGIA HOAREAU.

Her latest release “Girl” is an indie-pop tune that personally left us speechless with its marvelous production, quality of the mix, and creative arrangement, transmitting to our souls’ emotional vibes and vibrant moods. The song has a sound pretty much acoustic, featuring clean/electric guitars, deep basses and punchy drums, electronic keyboards, and, of course, the unreal voice of Georgia.

The song combines stunning vocal lines with sad/melancholic lyrics, singing about a recent break-up relationship the tune fully expresses itself in a perfect manner, transmitting to the listener a package of emotions that will keep us engaged throughout the song.

Incredible tune and we can’t wait to listen to some brand new stuff from her soon!

RED SKIES MOURNING – “Red Skies Mourning”

What does have Zedd, Skrillex, Steve Aoki and MOBY in common with Red Skies Mourning? before diving into the EDM realm they all played in a metal/hardcore band. there must be something inspiring in this extreme genre of rock that keeps all these musicians inspired and make them different from all the artists.

Indeed Red Skis Mourning, produced/multi-instrumentalist from Baltimore, US, was able to release an entire album (named Red Skies Mourning) in these difficult times that sounds extremely sound in each of his parts.

This extremely solid album has some rock roots that are pretty evident in the production. Anyway, this is still an incredibly catchy electronic album that blinks to the pop and rock genres while remaining incredibly consistent. Some of the tracks also take some inspiration from the latest Synthwave wave, especially synths and drums. Do yourself a favor and don’t skip this hidden gem.

MAJA KRISTINA – “Neighboorhood”

Neighborhood is the new single from pop artist Maja Kristina and that’s also her first single out in 2022. If you know just a little bit about music, you probably know that some of the best talents in the world reside in Sweden. Indeed, it comes as no surprise that Maja Kristina is indeed from Stockholm, Sweden.

Completely independent, she already had a couple of songs placed on the Netflix tv series The Bold Type and this new single proves her incredible potential.

Neighborhood is a single about breakup, at that point where you realized there is no way back. The lyrics hit hard, and it is pretty easy to feel in Maja’s shoes, when a relationship that’s now done, ruins the image one has about all the places they have been. So relatable, so melancholic, yet incredibly catchy.

If you are sick of listening to Driving License from Olivia Rodrigo, well that’s an amazing substitute by an artist that is still independent but eventually about to blow.

WOTTS – “6 Shooter”

WOTTS! A name, a talent. We were just waiting for them, I think everyone here was wondering when this moment would arrive. And here it comes, once again nailing all with this rework of the song from The Desert Island Big Band called “6 Shooter”.

This is Wott’s first collaboration with another artist and we can hear how they always manage to keep their sound without compromising someone else work and adding a unique “Wotts character” to something original, giving life to brand new stuff that can’t definitely go unnoticed.

This production gives some vintage retro vibes, with celestial pads and sparkling 80s keys, full of dreamy fxs the tune is capable of bringing you into another dimension, where everything is bright and you can clearly see a pristine and untarnished world.

Their take on the vocals was also incredible, for sure hours of production were spent behind this release.. impressive job from these guys.

HANNAH DORMAN – “Fire”

Time to open the dancefloor with an incredible artist and TikToker from Surrey, UK, with over 350k followers on TikTok we present you HANNAH DORMAN!

FIFTH LUCKY DRAGON – “Mango”

It is impossible not to move your bum while listening to Fifth Lucky Dragon‘s single called Mango. This track is a perfect merge of the 80s sound and an indie rock extravaganza. Imagine the band Phoenix with Depeche Mode’s first album-era production.

This incredibly catchy project come from the mind of Louis Imperiale, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Indianapolis, United States. The music video, which you can find here, perfectly represents the mood of the song.

The eclectic production reminded us of early Twenty One Pilots releases, anyway, Fifth Luck Dragon has already an established and peculiar sound. The bright and clean guitars sound amazing next to the 80s vintage synths, creating an anthemic chorus reminiscing Wombats’ early days.

Let’s forget about everything we need to do right now and let’s jump on a trampoline while listening to this song of course.

OZZ GOLD – “Care For”

OZZ GOLD is finally back with another banger, and also this time he couldn’t disappoint us. I don’t think he needs any introduction, after being in many of our articles, we are glad he’s with us also in this best selection for this month! His latest tune “Care For” brings in some fresh breeze of summer, and that’s what we need right now!

This release has a style that at times reminded us a bit of KYGO with a completely brand new sound, and Ozz Gold proved us to be capable of delivering catchy melodies and remarkable tunes also with the use of the vocal chops.

We can hear some stunning vocals that accompany the verses, and the song that slowly builds up around them, leading to the powerful drops full of strong vibes and emotions that are typical of Ozz Gold, I’d say that’s definitely his signature.

If you haven’t listened to this artist before, we highly recommend doing so and getting yourself ready for your favorite summer festival with his music!

SIKA VALMÉ – “Mango”

Don’t worry, that’s not a mistake, that’s indeed the second song we review this month that’s called Mango. This time from Canadian-based artist Sika Valme, and that’s her second single ever being released.

Sika merges, with incredible mastery, sounds from electro-pop to the World Music genre, in a particular song that sounds ethnic yet extremely catchy. her Haitian origins have indeed played a pivotal role in the songwriting of this tune.

The mesmerizing drums, are in fact the ones you might expect from electronic tunes, however, the drum fills are very well arranged together with Sika’s vocal production which plays an important role in the mix.

Her vocals are manipulated in a very peculiar, it indeed sounds like an instrument on its own, immersed perfectly in the mix and accompanying smoothly all the synths. the tune is an immersive experience that merges different cultures in a tune that excites every second.

Alex Slay – “Marathon”

ALEX SLAY is a singer and songwriter based in Nashville, USA, and we can tell you this phenomenal artist doesn’t play around. His style is extremely remarkable and he definitely has the kind of sound that can quickly recall him just by listening to the first seconds of his songs. Alex released a few tracks over the past years, and his last single is in collaboration with the amazing singer CLOVER JAMEZ.

“Marathon” is the name of this release, an R&B tune that mainly focuses on the stunning vocals, but that also gives space to other elements: guitars, synths, drums, and bass are mixed to perfection making the tune sound tremendously clean, deep and sharp.

The song has a slow tempo, perfect to host the incredible flow of the vocals and the sick details of the elements playing in the track.

0% chances to dislike this one, rest assured. Enjoy this tune any time of the day, we already kicked off the evening next to the swimming pool pumping this one on our JBL speaker.

TORTURED SOUL – “Your Body Doesn’t Lie”

Directly from Brooklyn, United States, we are now going to present this incredibly catchy and soulful project name “Tortured Soul“. Born from the mind of John-Christian Urich, they just released a new single called Your Body Doesn’t Lie.

That’s probably the sexiest track we presented today. The groovy guitars and wind instruments set the right mood for a lounge room ready to drink a dry Martini with your girlfriend. Be aware tho, to listen carefully to the lyrics, there might be someone cockier than you trying to get your girl.

The song takes inspiration from the funny and sexy story of how John-Christian got to know his now-wife, and it might give the right energy and inspiration to go and try with that girl at the bar that looks pretty bored with the guy she’s talking with. Perfect summer vibes and charming as hell, Tortured Soul definitely got it right.

KEVIN WHITAKER – “Unpredictable Love”

Last but not least, we are going to introduce you to a fairly new artist called Kevin Whitaker. Kevin released a very energetic tune called Unpredictable Love not long ago. However, today we are presenting you the amazing Remix WLL did for it.

The remix keeps the fierce energy of the original, giving an interesting turn to Kevin’s vocals. This marriage between the more electronic-based instrumentals and Kevin’d gritty vocals, reminded us of the collaboration Rag N’ Bone Man and Calvin Harris had some years ago.

The result is an extremely catchy yet uplifting track that sounds perfect on a Happy Hour session along the shore and on a busy House Club night. The lead synth on the chorus reinforces the original melody in a peculiar way, making the song catchier yet keeping its rock core. Best of luck to these amazing artists.

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!

MIDNIGHT VILLAGE – “All You Gotta Know”

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.

Their latest release will show you exactly what we trying to explain here, this is called “All You Gotta Know”: an upbeat and compelling production with groovy drums, vintage electronic elements, electric guitars, and captivating vocals that won’t let you stop moving from the moment it starts to the second it finishes.

SILENT – “Trouble Maker”

Time to share an extremely unique project called SILENT. What we know so far of this artist is that it is a robot that makes music, and it’s sick! 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!

Unfortunately, we have only a Spotify link here, but we’ll update it with his socials as soon as we know more about it!

This song is a masterpiece that will keep you entertained from the very first seconds with a “movie-style” intro, until the end with its groovy basslines, upbeat drums, vintage keys, and fabulous guitars, all of this garnished with a great dose of vocoders. The vocals perfectly sit the mix and add to the tune a unique touch thanks to the performance and the vocal timbre.

LOCKYER BOYS – “LATKD”

LOCKYER BOYS is not just a normal boyband, this is a project created by 2 brothers (Will and Charlie Lockyer) with a passion for music and one main objective: to make people happy with their music. In the music industry with 2 releases in total, their latest release is the first of this 2022 (and hopefully not the last!) came out less than a month ago, bringing a nostalgic but positive mood to the table with powerful pop/retro sound!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

Benji Matthew recently released his first tune of 2022 called The Love Song Anthem, and this comes after his album Timeless, which was released in 2021.

Benji is expanding his production and sound range, always keeping his pop attitude, and we are definitely digging his evolution in the Synth Pop genre.

Benji has an incredible dragging energy, which is extremely evident in his last single The Love Song Anthem, a tune that will sound amazingly on your car radio while heading to the beach. We cannot wait to see what other stuff has Benj ready for the rest of 2022 until then we still have this incredible tune on repeat.

Even though the tune starts with an acoustic guitar presenting it, Praha always remains a consistent electronic tune with a compelling bassline and kick that accompanies us on this journey. An incredible story that perfectly represents this beautiful journey and story.

The Other Realm – “All The Cute Boys Are Robot”

Kenny Ward and Billie Ward are two brothers from US who started the alternative pop-duo project The Other Realm. They just released their last tune called All the Cute Boys Are Robots, a really catchy tune about the misadventures behind the choice of joining a dating app.

The tune is completely self-produced, but it keeps up with all the other huge pop productions out there. It is easy for us to imagine this song on the radio indeed. The electric guitar reggae-ish rhythm set the right mood for the tune, and the rest of the instrumentation, which gave us a nice 90s vibes feeling, adds to the tune a modern style that set the tune apart from other similar productions.

The lyrics tell us a funny story where everyone can feel like the main character, in these last years everyone’s been dragged in this new technological era where love is filtered by a smartphone, and we indeed feel the same frustration conveyrd by this tune. Anyway, this still remains a upbeat happy tune, which is great to recalibrate our mood and get us through the day.

Allie Alvarado – “Strong”

In the beginning of April, Allie Alvarado released her EP Strong, and we were definitely thrilled by this 4-track release. Allie Alvarado is not new in the music industry, she played with Beth Ditto before the coronavirus spread and collaborated also with Alvin Risk for one of his tunes out with OWSLA (Skrillex record label).

The leading track of the EP is the one that gave the name to the release. Strong in an incredibly uplifting song, “The Heart goes strong the more you use it”. Inspirational lyrics that Allie sings throughout the chorus follow a catchy and alternative vocal chop sequence.

Syllables of Love and Feel The Earthquake are the core of the EP, where Allie shows her skills as an electronic producer, with an interesting sound design and arrangement building. Moments of You, definitely sound like the perfect tune to conclude this EP. It sounds like a “goodbye” but also like a “See You Soon”, and we hope more for the latter, the synths have sometimes a more vintage approach, with a melody that could reminisce some of the most melancholic Depeche Mode releases. Strong is an EP full of sound layers, a release you should listen to multiple times to capture its magnitude, like the one of an Earthquake.

Tigs – “Bad Like We”

Thank Tigs for exporting the UK underground music sound all over the world. Having passed half of my life in London working in UK Live music clubs or partying in them (of course before the coronavirus spread), it was pretty noticeable to me, and to everyone who’s done the same life, that the UK electronic scene it’s something on its own.

Tigs just released his tune Bad Like We, together with Peppery and Murder He Wrote, and now based in Melbourne in Australia, I’m extremely happy his sharing the UK underground sound abroad. The tune perfectly represents the rave scene, merging genre from Grime and Garage.

The vocals add a Jungle feeling to the tune that would sound amazing on a sound system in the streets of Brixton. Keep spreading the good music, and rave like crazy to this music.

juracán – “Dame Todo”

Juracán is the musical project started by singer-songwriter Pierre Carbuccia, originally from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. We have been introduced to him thanks to his last single called Dame Todo, which perfectly merges two different but still specular musical worlds.

The idea behind this song is extremely intriguing, we first start listening to and RnB-inspired tune where we can appreciate Juracán vocal style and musical talent.

Here he’s singing in English and we can capture his emotions and struggles. In the middle of the track, everything steadily transforms and the song, while keeping his subtle dark layer, becomes a more audacious reggaeton-ish tune, not the one you could hear on some commercial club night, but in a more rave-ish kind of context, in the middle of a tropical island frequented only by natives that really know how to enjoy music.

Indeed here Pierre is singing in Spanish, still keeping his seductive charm, but this time with a more direct approach. An incredible tune that’s the perfect sample of this fresh and alternative project.

Ryal – “Best Friends”

If you like the 80s and pets, this is going to be your favorite tune ever. Ryal, is a synth-pop duo based in New York City, and after Ryal singer’s pup Lambda passed away the duo decided to put out Best Friend, an 80s-inspired production to commemorate his life.

Grief is something you can feel not only for humans but also for your beloved puppy, which represents a huge part of so many people’s lives. The melancholic tune brings some of 80s staple sounds from the Prophet 5, Roland RS-09 and Moog Modular Arpeggio.

The bass synth, gives a more Synthwave vibe to the verse, with a dark lurking feeling that never sounds too overwhelming but works perfectly as the base for the introduction of the multiple ear-candy presents in the song.

Evin – ”Fear Of Letting Go” (Live)

We fell in love with this live rendition of Fears Of Letting Go from singer Evin. That’s probably one of the sexiest (saxiest as well) tunes we had the pleasure to listen to in 2022.

The tune starts with an incredibly immersive saxophone riff, and we are already immersed in an 80s kind of scenario, where everything is more charming and neon-like. Erin incredible vocal ability and expression are the perfect companions for this instrument.

The guitar and bassline add a more jazzy sometimed funky feeling to the tune and create the perfect base layer for the melody to shine.

Fears Of Letting Go is one of the singles off of Evin’s forthcoming EP “Good Morning World”, and we cannot wait to listen to the whole release.

Larri Jae – “Alphabet Head”

Believe us, Larri Jae has the potential to be the next big thing in the RnB scene, proving his talented artistry on his EP Chapter 30.

His singing, while very peculiar and unique, sometimes reminisces the style of big artists like Chris Brown and The Weeknd. Anyway, Larri Jae, proved to have a very chameleonic style that perfectly fits every beat. And in Chapter 30 we have different kinds of moods, from the more Trap-ish “Sad Inc” to the more melodic Rnb tune “Alphabet Head”.

“Tell Me How”, is the more fast-paced tune in the EP, while still retaining his catchiness and showcasing Larri’s virtuosity.

This EP contains tracks produced by Grammy-Award winning producer Xcel and acclaimed producers PDub The Producer, so you’re an RnB aficionado, you’ll be overly satisfied by this release and its neat production.

Tate Sedar – “Find A Way”

EDM is not dead believe us. That’s one of the reasons this blog exists, and it is to remember people that there are still talented DJs, like TATE SEDAR, still thriving and making great music. TATE SEDAR, music producer based in Los Angeles, just released his tune Find A Way.

The tune is inspired by his own life and relationship with music. It is a hard task to make music part of your life, but as you can see also in his music video for the song here, this was always Tate’s mission number one.

Find A Way, takes the best from the electronic world, delivering a peculiar production that drags mainly inspiration from the broad EDM genre, but adds some subtle sounds and ear candies more typical in the dubstep and hardstyle genre.

By doing this Tate was able to create a unique style, that makes you bang your head from start to finish while staying extremely danceable.

Julient – “Calling For My Name”

Julient, is a singer and producer based in London, United Kingdom, and he just put out a new Dance-pop tune called “Calling For My Name”. That’s just his third single and the first one he is releasing in 2022. The tune talks about learning from our past mistakes and choosing the right path for our life.

That’s a hard and honest topic to bring up, but one where everyone could feel represented. The lyrics, melody and vocal style gave a melancholic vibe to the tune which is reinforced by the bass and synths sounds.

The synths and drum reminisce some 80s production, but the more obscure and uplifting tracks rather than the cheesy and superficials one. Indeed, doing a consistent Dance-Pop tune keeps his danceability but still gives you some food for thought, is a hard task, but Julient was able to deliver this flawlessly.

Tainted Youth – ”Feel That Way”

Tainted Youth is a fairly new electronic project formed by Ryan Hall & Kathleen Down. These two young lads are based in London, UK, and they just released their second tune for 2022 called “Feel The Way”.

The duo takes inspiration from the EDM of the last decade while adding their unique style and more rock approach. The electric guitar definitely gives the tune a great boost, and it is used intelligently throughout the tune.

We can also hear some dubstep influences, especially in the chorus, which is the most uplifting and energetic part, and yet also one of the most melodic and catchy parts of the song. Tainted Youth is definitely bringing back the electronic music in the Uk, and we cannot wait to hear some more tunes from them.

Jamythyst – “Wild Baby”

“Give It Up, yeah you Give It Up…” ehm sorry, I was still listening to Jamythyst‘s new tune called “Wild Baby”, and man the chorus really caught us off guard for his extreme catchiness, and 90s dance-pop extravaganza.

The tune starts with a more emo-trap approach, talking about Jamythyst’s breakup and bad relationship with solid production and beat. We definitely didn’t see the chorus coming and slap us in the face like that, but it works, oh god if it works.

The second chorus perfectly merges the 90s dance world and trap influences in the best way possible, and Jamythyst, which produced everything by herself, adds some new ear candies and synth sounds that keep our ears extremely entertained until the last note she sings. Wild…Wild song, Wild Baby, that’s indeed the perfect title for the song.

Penelope Pettygrew – “Jelly”

When we talk about style and quality productions, we can’t forget to mention PENELOPE PETTYGREW. This amazing artist, singer, and songwriter is a pure concentrate of energy and adrenaline, with an incredible voice character and a unique style like no others.

The latest release “Jelly” just caught us off-guard, with its mix of electronic pop and dance vibes, can’t deny it got us quite focused at our first listening.

Penelope’s voice is just out of this world: the incredible flow and the excellent vocal extension make this track incredibly versatile, we can hear in the track how the vocals vary from quiet melodic parts to some fast rap lines. This is definitely a rare talent ready to hit the Top 100 Billboard!

His latest single is called “The Other Side”, released just a few weeks ago along with some remixes from different artists.

This release is an electronic dance tune that shares a Christian message through the beautiful vocals of the female singer: with a happy and captivating mood, the song brings also back some of the 90s scenes in the drops, with groovy basslines and cheerful plucks.

The remix we liked the most was the one from “Late Night Lounge”, amazingly well done and reminding us of the sound of Hillsong Young & Free.. Perfect!

If you like melancholic tunes, that’s your cup of tea.

Jiva – “AHAVA”

Jiva is an Israeli singer of Ukrainian origin, and perfectly blends her origins in her new tune called AHAVA. The song brings some dark vibes into a trap-style production implementing the track with some rave-type bits that your head-banging and wish you were listening to that on a giant sound system.

The melodies here vary from the eastern Europe tradition to the more oriental style. As Jiva suggests, you don’t really need to know the language to dive into the song and its meaning. Strong emotions flew over this song, and in this moment of hard times we wish the best Jiva’s family, and we celebrate love altogether gathering everything positive that life brings to us.

Jiva brought this trap and electronic-inspired tune with dark influences that you absolutely need to listen to and we also invite you to explore more her discography to understand her project even more.

Maya Yenn – “How Much Sadness Can you Swallow?”

We already presented you Maya Yenn, in one of our past Space Discovery articles, which you can find by clicking here. And we do suggested you dive more into her project, since when we saw the music video for her song “How Much Sadness Can You Swallow”, we felt like we had to share this incredible production with the world, in this case with you Space Traveller, because this music video is out of this world.

We seriously don’t want to spoiler too much from the music video, as it’s full of surprised, we will just say that here you’ll find Maya in her fencing suit and sword running in the fields after noticing something utterly strange happening in the sky aaaand … just saw the music video now, we already said too much.

This electronic-infused track, completely produced by Maya, is full of ear candies that you will start to notice after many listenings. The song has so many production layers, so it is very hard to be bored by this tune even after 100 times that it’s on repeat on your Spotify.

Maddox Jones – “Ready To Be Better”

Singer-songwriter Maddox Jones just released his new tune called “Ready To Be Better”, an incredibly catchy song that will brighten your day. After collaborating with many artists Maddox started his solo career in 2020, receiving a lot of praise for his EP, Headspace.

Maddox is based in London, United Kingdom, and if you have been in London, you know the weather is a bummer, and it is really easy to feel down. But Maddox seems not to be really bothered by it, since his tune “Ready To Be Better” brings an extremely optimistic and uplifting theme.

The song perfectly merges elements from indie-pop and indie-rock, with polished sounds that stand out for their very well-curated production. A fresh poppy tune you should miss out.

Taylor B-W – “In Ur Net”

After listening to “In Ur Net”, from singer Taylor B-W, we stated that we decided to live in the wrong country. We miss the beach, we miss the sun, and we would love to take a flight to Australia, where Taylor is based, to enjoy this song fully, during a busy party on the Gold Coast with a long drink to sip.

This radio hit is everything you want to hear in summer 2020, an rnb/pop tune with a reggaeton beat and rhythm that will make your body move without you noticing. While it is very easy to make comparisons with singers like Dua Lipa, Taylor brings something new to the table. Her lyrics tell the story of a relationship that went too far, and once the character becomes aware of the situation, it is now too late, trapped in the net of a toxic relationship. Even though the tune might bring joy to your hips. it will also make you think and be more minded.

If you’re in Australia, Sydney, you’re a lucky man. Do us a favor, go listen to Taylor B-W, and offer her a long drink from us.

KØASH – “DOMINOES”

KØASH just released a fresh new track called “Dominoes”, with some of the catchiest melody lines we heard in an 80s inspired type of track.

KØASH shows his incredible songwriting, perfectly merging elements from pop, afro-beat and dance with an 80s-infused production.

Now living in Cardiff, in the United Kingdom, KØASH has Arabic and Welsh origins, and he definitely stands out in the pop UK scene bringing some peculiar elements that already distinguish him from the other pop artists in the music scene.

WOTTS – “DOMINO”

Wotts is an indie-pop duo based in Ottawa, Canada that just brought to us a fresh 80s inspired tune called “Domino”. The tune has many influences, that would be diminishing to just define this song “indie-pop”.

The duo takes inspiration from music projects like M83 and Dayglow, producing tunes in their bedroom, they are able to create very solid dream-pop tracks.

The vocal and drums production also reminded us of some early die rock projects, reminiscing bands like The Strokes and The Killers. The 80s aura is omnipresent throughout the song, with a nostalgic feeling we extremely dig.

Elina Filice – “Dont Let Me Fall”

Elina Filice is a singer-songwriter based in Toronto, Canada, and her tune “Don’t Let Me Fall”, really got our attention for its top-notch production. The theme and lyrics draw the story of emotional fall, asking for help to surface from this dark downward spiral.

Although the lyrics might be dark at times, the arrangement is very uplifting merging different genre in a flawless production.

The track starts with a more trap-based instrumentation, evolving into a more electronic-inspired tune with a radio catchy melody that is still resonating in our heads after days . We wish all the best to Elina and we cannot wait to listen to some of her new productions.

Ben Dolic – “Kissing Her, Missing You”

With many millions of streams around his back, Ben Dolic delivered a great new pop track called “Kissing Her, I’m Missing You”.

A story that is really easy to relate to. The song talks about breaking up and then trying to find love using dating apps. We all already know that this might not be the best option to go over a breakup, but we try anyway.

The result is this amazing track though, and for this, we’re really happy, Ben already shared the stage with incredible artists like Zara Larsson, Rita Ora and Olly Murs, and we’re definitely waiting for him to tour in the UK, and listen to his amazingly catchy tunes.

Even though Ben Dolic releases pop-oriented tunes, he already established his own sound, easily noticeable, and we really dig his sound, inviting you to start following him as well.

His latest release is called “Moodlighting”, it’s the second track since he started the project. The tune is in collaboration with HUBSTCY, which produced the track.

We understand the skills of these 2 artists from the very beginning of the song, where a synth pad plays some “jazzy/blues” chords and the amazing voice of Blake enters the tune in falsetto: we already know this is going to be sick.

After the first intense minute, the track brings in the groove with an incredible sound design and the fascinating vocals of Blake. Surreal tune, incredible production, must listen.

CALISTA DEL TORO – “ANOTHER”

YES!! We are indeed in Space, guessing from the cover art of the incredible single Another from singer-songwriter Calista Del Toro. This tune has an incredible production that creates a really peculiar sound and genre that stands between pop, rock, electronic, and freaking space.

Calista is already a rockstar, even though you didn’t know it. She played in the venues in Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Which it’s something me and you Space Traveller can only dream of. But she deserves it! Working with incredibly talented producers including a Grammy-winning one, Calista, even though she’s fairly young, is already establishing her presence in the scene with an incredible sound that’s already her own.

All the best to Calista, and we hope to see her live here in London very soon. And you shouldn’t miss it as well.

ALAN ELETTRONICO – “UPSTAIRS AT ANDREW’S”

Here’s the last single from Alan Elettronico called Upstairs at Andrew’s. His fictional surname Elettronico means Electric in Italian, and we can definitely perceive his electricity and vibrancy through this incredible Synthwave tune.

We listened multiple times to this incredibly well-produced electronic tune, and its only flaw is that it’s too short. I mean that’s probably a fair length, it’s just us that we are too greedy for Synthwave tunes. Since it is really hard to listen to a great instrumental Synthwave tune nowadays, we are so enthusiastic about this release.

The sound design, drum production and arrangement structure make this single incredibly good and a must-listen for Synthwave aficionados. We can definitely wait to hear more from Alan Elettriconico. We are indeed electrified by his music.

INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/alan.elettronico/

BRI FLETCHER – “ASTRONAUT”

Bri Fletcher knows how to craft a pop-country tune with ease, and she demonstrates this with her last single Astronaut. An incredibly catchy tune, that brings up our nostalgia for the 90s. As the music video shows, that’s indeed an anthem to youth, and we definitely felt that, finding ourselves in her shoes.

Bri is receiving a lot of love from Spotify and especially from Nashville and country-based playlists. With her clever arrangement, she merges elements of country, like the use of banjo, with pop melodies that get easily stuck in your head.

Bri has definitely a bright career in front of her, and we can easily picture her in a stadium in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/brifletcher/?hl=en

HUNTER REECE – “HOT GLUE”

Hunter Reece is a badass dude, and Hot Glue is a badass tune. his last single showcases his songwriting skills and ability to grab the best elements from different genres.

Hot Glue has an extremely catchy melody, which it’s sustained by a pop-punk style guitar that infuses a tight rhythm throughout the song. Hunter declares on his Spotify bio “i write songs that get stuck in your head.” and we agree with this. taking the catchiest elements from trap instrumentals and using the right fx at the right time, Hunter brings up a tune that is everything but mundane while keeping the quality of a pop song.

We wish Hunter all the best and we cannot wait to hear some new tunes from him, loving his songwriting so much.

INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/iamHunterReece/

MARS – “HOME”

Home is not just a physical place. It can be also a state of mind. That’s the simple concept where the first single from Mars starts. but from here, it doesn’t accompany you in a “Home Sweet Home” kind of state, but rather in an homesick journey where nothing is how it seems.

“Home” is a dark pop tune that shows Mars maturity and ability to write a compelling pop tune with profound lyrics. With this song, she’s searching for an audience that is not satisfied but just a good melody but rather liked to dive deep into human emotion and drown in nostalgia. We definitely loved swimming in this sea of melancholy, and we invite you to jump right in as well.

INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/marissaitm/

ENOKA – “MORE THAN FRIENDS”

Enoka, takes us back in time with her 80s inspired tune called More Than Friends. The Swedish pop Queen sings on this incredibly catchy tune with an extroversive RnB melody.

The sound design and solid production behind the track use different elements to bring that 80s atmosphere which blends perfectly with Enoka’s peculiar and distinct vocal style.

The lyrics and theme of “More Than Friends” are very relatable, and we can easily see ourselves in the same situation. I mean we’ve been there are as well, and so probably you, don’t deny it, and you will appreciate this tune even more.

MICHAEL BUTERA – “ON MY WAY”

Australian singer, Michael Butera, brought an incredibly uplifting tune called On My Way, which definitely cheered us up during this rainy February here in London.

This single is extremely catchy and will immediately change you mood and inspire you deeply, in doing things better and don’t be too hard on yourself.

We are all on the right path, that much is certain, and we absolutely need a great singer like Michael to remind us about how life can be discouraging but at the same time, it is all about just keeping going and keeping your head up high.
