Refined neon electro house: ‘ICU’ by Luke Tangerine & Kate Pending

‘ICU’ by Luke Tangerine & Kate Pending Luke Tangerine's output this year has been enormous, and he is not going to miss the opportunity to top it up just before Christmas. ‘ICU’ is the name of the new electro meets house music banger, which is almost unbeatable in terms of elegance. In this collaboration between Luke Tangerine and Kate Pending , both are in top form. One reason for this is certainly that both are masters of their craft and don't think in terms of genre boundaries.  ‘ICU’ manages to get stuck in my ear canals immediately, and not just because of the 80s/90s tendency that is definitely there. It's the combination that creates this. Synth aesthetics combined with a drum machine that plays up its retro charm and an irresistible bassline make for a soundscape that may sound a little vintage, but definitely has the strengths of the present.  In this fascinating soundscape, in which there are so many inconspicuous details to discover, Kate Pending seems to fe...

The Artist: Alex Julia - "Like the sun"



Alex Julia

Julia’s debut EP Better Part Of Me released independently on September 19, 2020. BPM reached airwaves both domestically and internationally, on popular college radio and charts, including KXLU and WMCX. The top three singles, still in rotation, What’s Going On, Better Part of Me, and A Beautiful Escape put Julia on the map, for which the debut single What’s Going On received animated treatment in the acid-trippy music video. The EP received high praise with The Bay Area Reporter and even made it as a featured recipe on Pinterest, in which the author paired the music with a Hawaiian-style pizza... because... as Alex Julia simply put it, she’s “different.” It was this inclusion, that’s interesting to note, which inspired Julia’s Live Music Pizza blog, to help other artists gain momentum.

Like the Sun

Bereits mit Ende Mai veröffentlichte Alex Julia, die aus Asbury Park,NJ stammende und wirklich begabte Künstlerin, ihre Single "Like the sun".
I’m like a lost soul, I’m always in the dark/You light me up and give me a spark", singt sie. Eigenständigkeit, Licht und die Erfüllung zu finden als Thema. Ihre Stimme gleicht einer verlorenen Seele zumindest an manchen Stellen, quasi sich der Einsamkeit hingebend, um dann wieder eigenständig stark und unabhängig aufzustehen. Auch die Melodien und Riffs der Gitarre sprühen wie Funken der Hoffnung heraus, das Ganze wird von der Rhythmussektion in die perfekte Balance gebracht und dort mit dem richtigen  Groove versehen. Immer wieder sorgen die arrangierten Gegensätze wie z.B. das Piano zusammen mit Julias rauer/rauchiger Stimme für Abwechslung. Dadurch ergibt sich/entstand ein hörenswerter Track im Genre des Indie Pop/Rocks denn man kennen sollte. So we have to say Achtung: Alex Julia ... and the sun is rising.
