Engines Made From Soup - "Take 2"
The single is called ‘Take 2’ which captures the excitement of meeting someone new and the highs of those first few encounters that leave you wanting more. ‘Take 2’ deliberately sets itself in a dance / disco vibe, drawing listeners back to dance club settings where relationships with new friends often begin. The guitars and piano are trademark features of Engines Made From Soup. The rich lead vocals are, this time, supplemented by clever backing vocals that amplify the sexy feel of this song. A dance classic! Engines Made From Soup are Gareth Cross - Lead Vocals, Gareth Evans - Keyboards & Backing Vocals, Stephen Spencer - Guitars.
Chris Conroy - "Wolves"
Chris Conroy is back with the last track on his debut EP ‘Wolves’. Wolves is a song expressing the struggle in loving someone while seeking different futures. In this case {Chris/the male wolf} talks about wanting to explore the wild and the unknown with his partner but she is afraid of leaving her comfort zone and the life she already knows. Chris’s music has been described as ‘Easy going yet powerful’ with ‘rich vocals refined with heart’ accompanied by ‘beautiful lyrics with a euphonious sound’.
Axtron, James Somnym - "Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea"
What can we expect from your new release, is it more danceable or catchy and dreamy?
"I would like to introduce" my new song ' Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea 'I got its name directly from a fall out boy song again cuz I am such a big fall out boy fan "You think that was cool??" It's more of a headbanging song to go with dinosaurs and monsters 😂😂 Its pretty good to go with in music festivals, if all of this didn't stirke you with the idea of how song is then , the name of Skrillex is enough to give u the Vibes , yup it's more kinda near to Skrillex's old style , because obviously it's dubstep
Is there a story behind the Song name?
Yea , this is a pretty cute story , in the beginning I introduced my friend to a Dubstep song by Skrillex , he said I can never make Dubstep in my whole life , so did alot of people say the same I believed them and got myself to never make Dubstep In my whole life While we Indians are locked down in the home due to second wave of covid , music is best way to spend the time for me I was listening to the fallout boy song ' stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea ' and it's lyrics " The only thing that's ever stopping me is me, hey "really motivated me to go ahead and try Dubstep again and I really made some good Dubstep at first attempt And sent it to @2flagsrcrds as a demo , I knew I wasn't getting signed cause it's a house music label but after few days when I woke Jesus Christ , they got me signed to their sublabel , it was like a wow feeling
Again with James, looks like that you both works good together, how to you split up the work?
We work with stems instead of project files , me and James work on different DAWs so it's really impossible to transfer project files , but I love the way we creatively use stems and edit the stems made by each other and end up with smthg sick , I don't know much but recently I started a band with some of my friends and we are working on our first song of the band and james is in the band sooooo yea , musically we r good friends though
THE STRAINGE - "Don't misunderstand me"
The Strainge have made a statement with their first single, bringing sophisticated modal changes to a 4-minute pop song. ‘Don’t Misunderstand Me’ exists in a state of limbo. Distorted synth vox’s provide both hopeful, sometimes soaring moments as well as dark, tense changes. The programmed drums and bass bring a reverb-drenched dance element to the track whilst the singer points the blame in a distinctive, low voice. Who the song is pointing the blame at is just as unclear as who’s singing the words - The Strainge is an anonymous project. The Strainge keeps to the shadows not just to ‘avoid fame’ or to ‘focus on the music’, anonymity gives The Strainge the confidence to write openly about personal struggles. ‘Don’t Misunderstand Me’ is just a taster of this, with lyrics referencing the songwriter’s fears of failure (“make no mark”), trust issues (“don’t trust easy”), and desire to “disappear”. This is just the beginning for the British artist. Using just a nearly-decade-old laptop, two microphones, an audio interface, and two cheap guitars, The Strainge has already crafted enough songs for two albums with zero outside help. No mean feat for even the most experienced musician. Expect big things.
Quantum - "001"
Last but not least we have Quantum a Swiss based Band. With their track "001" they run and play straightforward. It sounds that the song collects all the energy and rawness on the way to the chorus and then everything is breaking thru' and pushes the chorus to the limit, simply great. So we have to say Achtung: pure energy meets rawness to push it to the limit.
