Foxtide

New single « Already Gone »

Spotify

Entitled « Already Gone »,Foxtide touches on themes such as isolation, boredom and living in a relentless routine while following the story and internal dialogue of a man who is led to follow societal norms. Incorporating the band member’s experiences of mindlessly working dead end jobs and feeling as though they are wasting their time, “Already Gone” is an autobiographical account of the hardships of getting by. Combining 80’s new wave inspired sonics with early 2000’s NYC indie rock landscapes, “Already Gone” harnesses a melancholic yet enthralling musical journey.

San Diego based four piece Foxtide crafts explosive surf jazz infused psych rock that is as fresh as it is nostalgic. Composed of four close knit friends all raised in sunny Southern California, the band came together during garage jam sessions and over their shared eclectic musical palette and influences. Founding member Elijah Gibband Croft (lead guitar and vocals) the following members Dom Friedly (guitar), Oey James (bass) and Ian Robles (drums) complete the lineup, bringing a wildly diverse array of talents and sonic perspectives. Known for their expansive and immersive

rock landscapes filled with melodic basslines, splashy cutting guitars, and catchy sun soaked melodies, Foxtide’s sound is cathartic and captivating. The band is hugely self made with an authentic DIY aesthetic.

Their 2021 debut full length album

Visions

, “is about the duality of reminiscing (living in the past) and wishing (living in the future). I think everyone participates in both of these myself included so I wanted to write about it,” confides Elijah. With a vivacious pop punk delivery, psych-drenched emotive rock soundscapes,

Visions

received critical and commercial acclaim leading to a fervent local fanbase. Leading single includes « She’s Not Yours » « chronicles the powerless feeling of casual love. With themes of jealousy, regret, and reminiscence and an inspiration musically from The Strokes, » proclaims Elijah. With the single « Everything That’s Mine », Foxtide crafts an autobiographical tune all about living through your teenage years wasting time on faulty love interests. Sonic inspirations including Sublime and Fugzi penetrate « Everything That’s Mine » for a captivating Reggae rock infused listen. Grammy award-winning Jazz producer Kamau Kenyatta makes an appearance on the standout track « Ocean Blue » on another intoxicating offering from the surf Jazz meets garage rock album

Electronic producer Sleepy Tom releases ‘This Thing Called Life’

Eclectic Electronic Producer

Sleepy Tom

RELEASES

Upcoming EP Title Track

‘This Thing Called Life’

Stream / Download

SINGLE RELEASE DATE: 22 September 2022

LABEL: MNRK Music Group

Vancouver-based talent Sleepy Tom released the title track of his forthcoming EP,

This Thing Called Life,

on the 22nd of September. Fans can expect to receive the full project later this year via MNRK. Both the single and the EP mark the continuation of the producer’s evolution as he expands into the smoky dens of disco music. The producer finds inspiration in the music he also listens to, citing artists like The Avalanches, Jungle, The Weeknd and Breakbot to name a few. In turn,

‘Time and Time Again(feat. Hotel Mira)’

draws parallels to the works of Jungle, Purple Disco Machine and The Weeknd.

Sleepy Tom is dreaming of the discothèque. His latest single,

‘This Thing Called Life’

, is a funkadelic palette of colourful rhythms, complete with a four-on-the-floor beat and gyrating grooves. Each synth line is reflected off of a thousand-mirrored ball, shining a nostalgic light on an era of musical revolution as well as the producer’s versatility.

The producer’s platinum-certified

collaboration with Diplo, titled

‘

Be Right There’

,

reached

#2

on the UK Dance Charts, Top 10 in the UK Charts, and

#8

on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic charts. He has worked with

other industry majors including Anna Lunoe, Grandtheft, LIGHTS and has produced official remixes for Zeds Dead, Martin Solveig, Porter Robinson, and Dillon Francis to name a few.

Cam Tatham’s journey as Sleepy Tom has been one for the history books. The producer has worked with well-known labels such as Spinnin’ Records, Fool’s Gold and Mad Decent. With over 200 hundred million streams on his Spotify top ten alone, the producer has been featured on the prominent Youtube channels Trap City, Proximity, House Nation, Selected, and Future House Music, and a number of broadcasters, such as BBC Radio 1’s Diplo & Friends and Annie Mac, BBC Radio 1xtra’s Mistajam, and BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge have taken a liking to his music.

Sleepy Tom pulls the curtain back, revealing the inner workings of his process:

“With ‘This Thing Called Life’, I wanted to make a collection of songs that were going to lift me out of my funk. I was looking for music that could satisfy my club cravings, while also leaving room for melody––disco! Working with Parker allowed me to maintain a larger scope without losing perspective in the minutiae of producing a song. I sincerely hope that this EP captures the essence of our present life––putting one foot in front of the other, managing the ups and downs, and finding the joy in what you do.”

Scott Goldbaum shares his new single « Drive Too Fast »

Scott Goldbaum

New single « Drive Too Fast »

Spotify

Entitled « Drive Too Fast », the lush indie rock single is a face first collision course into the dark corners of a speed induced lifestyle. On the single Scott confides, »It got me thinking about the hidden psychological debauchery in codependent relationships and I let that topic guide the rest of the song. It started with this meditative but driving acoustic guitar riff, the lyrics and vocal melody followed, then the string arrangement and the rhythm section. While this was self-produced I was honored to feature the talents of Molly Rogers on strings, Kaveh Rastegar on upright bass and Kiel Feher on drums. Scott Gordon mixed the track and Reuben Cohen mastered it. »

Los Angeles based multi-instrumentalist Scott Goldbaum, whose credits include Sting, LAUV, Keith Urban, Skylar Grey, Charlotte Lawrence and Maddie Poppe, is releasing his first solo EP “Protector” this fall.

Prior to his five year hiatus from releasing music, Scott Goldbaum’s speciality was in providing “transient and breathtaking guitar work”

(

The Deli Magazine)

as well as “beautifully textured vocals”

(Indie Music Filter)

both on stage and in the studio fronting his former bands Forebear, Wise Cub and The Harm.

With songwriting cuts regarded by

Consequence of Sound

“as an exhilarating testament to abilities” his brand new EP is sure to satisfy fans of the artists whose music inspired the production including Chris Isaak, Radiohead, Bombay Bicycle Club and Damien Rice.

“Protector” is his self produced folk-infused indie rock EP with lush string arrangements by Molly Rogers

(Hans Zimmer, Game of Thrones)

, upright bass from Kaveh Rastegar

(Sting, John Legend, Bruce Springstein)

, drums/percussion by Kiel Feher

(Selena Gomez, Zella Day)

and mixing from the famed ScottGordon

(Alannis Morissette, Alexi Murdoch).

Thematically, the record follows a vulnerable character who’s in need of protection as he becomes the protector of others. « Drive Too Fast »

is a face first collision course into the dark corners of a speed induced lifestyle. Whereas « Trigger Finger »

takes place in a school, a grocery store, a parade, a place of worship or just about any other public gathering place in America. « Blood Knot » acknowledges the roots you grew out of and the tree limbs you wish to keep attached while others tear off in the wind. In contrast to the beginning of the EP, « Mourning Coffee »

makes a distinction between codependency and partnerships that are chosen and decisively cared for while the world is falling apart around you. « Incremental » is a mediation to stay on the course of progress and empowerment, despite the shadows that closely follow.

Afaz Natural & Docteur H

Nouveau single Talentosa

Déjà disponible

Afaz Natural et Docteur H nous dévoilent le tube de la rentrée, Talentosa. Voici un titre sans frontière, aux vibrations dansantes et pleines de bonne humeur, entre reggae et hip hop.

C’est grâce au cinéaste et réalisateur Colombien Juan Pablo Daguer que la collaboration entre la star Colombienne du reggae Afaz Natural et le producteur et artiste français d’origine béninoise Docteur H s’est faite.

Afaz Natural est une star phénoménale, connue dans toute l’Amérique du sud grâce à ses tubes à plus de 160 millions de vues et streams. Il prépare son nouvel album “Parceros”, dont la sortie est prévue en décembre prochain, incluant plusieurs collaborations et proposant ainsi des featurings à des talents de tous pays et de tous horizons.

C’est en demandant au cinéaste que ce dernier lui suggère l’un de ses amis artistes français qui monte, un certain Docteur H à qui l’on doit des succès imparables comme “Señorita”, “K.O” ou “Dangereuse Idylle”.

Tourné à Medellin en Colombie, le clip de Talentosa marque la collaboration de Docteur H et Afaz Natural.

Talentosa marque la rencontre de Docteur H et Afaz Natural, deux artistes urbains originaux aux univers différents mais complémentaires, réunis par la passion du reggae et des voyages.

Les deux artistes, la star colombienne Afaz Natural, et le producteur français d’origine béninoise Docteur H se retrouvent avec ce titre dansant aux paroles évoquant une histoire vraie portant sur les vices du show-business, le tout imagé par une sublime vidéo vintage tournée sur un « film Kodak », à l’ancienne.

Docteur H est un producteur, auteur, compositeur et interprète. Entre chant et rap, sa musique est à l’image de ses voyages, entre l’Amérique latine, l’Afrique et les Caraïbes & multilingue (Anglais, Français et Espagnol).

L’artiste est un habitué des grandes scènes dans divers pays comme le Chili, l’Équateur, le Pérou, la Bolivie, la Colombie, le Brésil, l’Argentine ou encore le Mexique.

LESS KILLJOY returns with addictive alt-pop single « My Parade »

LESS KILLJOY

New single « My Parade »

Spotify

As an artist LESS KILLJOY really only has one wish “I hope my music will speak for itself because for real, that’s the only way I know how to express myself and interact with humans and there’s a lot I want to say”.

Her latest track “My Parade” is an energetic alt-pop track featuring quirky guitars and fuzzy 808 bass and drums that will rattle everything every part of your car loose. “My Parade” is the second offering from her forthcoming debut EP titled

Pink Grenade

. LESS KILLJOY has a sound all her own calling it “alt-hop, lo-fi, shoegaze indie punk. Who needs a genre right?” Inspired by a search for happiness for herself and everyone around her, “My Parade” shines with a bratty and boisterous vocal energy, dreamy synthesizers, lo fi guitar loops and in your face drums. “Maybe one day Kenny Beats will hear my shit”. That said, you can expect an overload of honesty from LESS KILLJOY. She talks about feeling underestimated and judged by the people around her and throwing it back in their faces. Happy people don’t bring you down, they encourage you, they support you…As she sings in the hook of “My Parade” – it’s the miserable that always “RAIN ON YOUR PARADE”.

Through sharing her experience, LESS KILLJOY hopes to build a community of people who feel safe around one another, despite their race, gender, sexuality, age, or socioeconomic status, her raw honesty and true passion for inclusivity makes her one to watch. Having received humbling praise from the likes of

Earmilk, Record of the Day

and

Ones to Watch

, you can expect a lot more from this exciting new Toronto talent.

MÉLANIE présente son premier single ‘It’s not too late’

MÉLANIE

PREMIER SINGLE ‘IT’S NOT TOO LATE’

PRODUIT PAR RICO THE WIZARD

–

COMET RECORDS

Mélanie Chédeville, ou simplement Mélanie, poussera à l’automne un album en forme de divagation intimiste dans le sillage d’Histoire de Melody Nelson. Produit par la figure de la French Touch Éric Chédeville (alias Rico The Wizard), ce récit musical sophistiqué est rythmé par la batterie scintillante du grand et regretté Tony Allen.

À suivre…

Les époux Mélanie et Eric Chédeville étaient déjà à l’origine du projet

Sweet Sixtine

en 2014, qui explorait une passion amoureuse sur le mode « je t’aime moi non plus ».

Ce dernier, figure incontestable de la French Touch, avait fondé avec son ami d’enfance Guy-Manuel des Daft Punk le label Crydamoure (1997), sur lequel on retrouve un bon nombre de classiques dancefloor de la French House.

Ces dernières années, le couple s’attelle a un nouveau projet musical romantique autour de Mélanie, pour lequel la multi-instrumentiste s’allie avec le regretté et légendaire batteur Tony Allen, qui en 2017, trois ans avant sa disparition, participe aux sessions de ce qui constituera un concept album à venir aux influences gainsbouriennes, à mi-chemin entre talk-over et poésie érotique.

Avec

It’s Not Too Late

, construit sur un échantillon sonore du Montaigu Terrace (In Blue) de Scott Walker, l’artiste révèle l’internement volontaire d’Éric Chédeville après qu’il eut appris qu’elle allait le quitter. Entre sensualité et intemporalité, le premier single ‘It’s Not Too Late’ est désormais disponible partout.

MTRAC présente son nouveau single ‘Extra Time’

MTRAC

Nouveau single ‘Extra Time’

DISPONIBLE

– THE ORCHARDS –

Le multi-instrumentiste, producteur et auteur-compositeur Amtrac sort « Extra Time », un titre hypnotique et conceptuel, pièce maîtresse de son prochain projet. Cette sortie fait suite à sa récente tournée américaine avec Bob Moses, dont il a assuré la première partie pendant 22 dates à travers l’Amérique du Nord, sa collaboration avec Diplo et Leon Bridges « High Rise », et à la sortie de son single « Domino » avec son collaborateur Future Islands / Samuel T. Herring.

Amtrac déclare à propos du morceau : « Si on vous donnait un ‘Extra Time’, comment l’utiliseriez-vous ? Perdez-vous dans ce paysage sonore qui laisse beaucoup de place à l’imagination. »

L’artiste, DJ, producteur, remixeur, multi-instrumentiste et fondateur d’Openers, né dans le Kentucky et basé à Los Angeles, a fait ses débuts officiels sur la scène en 2011 avec son album acclamé ‘Came Along’. Cet album a propulsé le natif de Morehead, KY, Caleb Cornett, à la pointe de la musique électronique. Dans son sillage, il a amassé un catalogue désormais acclamé, mêlant des son origanaux et des remixes.

L’artiste aux multiples talents sait aussi bien électriser un public, que ce soit avec une performance musicale en direct ou en faisant transpirer les pistes de danse avec ses DJ sets entraînants mais remplis de funk. Ne se contentant jamais de s’installer, l’humeur et les influences musicales d’Amtrac changent au fil des saisons. Son ambition et sa curiosité le poussent à aller de l’avant, toujours heureux d’expérimenter de nouvelles techniques et de nouveaux sons.

Sa musique est ce qu’il ressent sur le moment. En d’autres termes, son évolution constante est le résultat d’une haine de l’ennui et d’un amour du travail. Il n’est pas dans sa nature de stagner. Il gravit rapidement les échelons du monde de la musique électronique et se forge une réputation de producteur parmi les plus créatifs et les plus ambitieux de la scène.
