Afterbliss - "Unknown Machine (EP)"

Locked and loaded with an arsenal of hard rock and synth pop hits is one of the most highly-anticipated bands to emerge from Ireland’s underground music scene in recent years, Afterbliss.

While the pandemic era saw many bands pack up for good, the hard-hitting Irish quintet took to the studio, releasing a refreshing and eclectic mix of industrial pop/rock hit after hit.

With the success they’ve seen so far, it’s no surprise that Afterbliss found themselves back in the studio with a whole catalogue of hits-in-the-making, most of which have made their way onto a jam-packed, high-energy EP set to be released in October 2021.

The ‘Unknown Machine’ EP marks a new chapter in the young band’s career, filled with captivating rock anthems topped off with high-energy pop influences likened to the legendary The Killers, Muse, Editors and Manic Street Preachers, all compressed into a one-two musical masterpiece ready for fans to feast their ears on.

Afterbliss a loaded gun of Rock meets Synth pop is ready to fire.

#DanceNOW! Double Triangle, Carlos Ucedda - "I adore you (Double Triangle Remix)"

If the song sounds familiar to you now, we have already presented Carlos Ucedda and ‘I adore you’ once before; back then, the song was still very 80s (greetings to Luke Tangerine at this point). Together with Double Triangle, they take a step further into the 90s. You could almost say: ‘I adore you’ has arrived in the golden era of techno. The remix shows Double Triangle in top form, with good progression that keeps up the tension and simultaneously proves that, together with Carlos Ucedda, they can also capture the 90s flair magnificently and present it in the style of the 2000s. Great Remix of a fantastic Song by the end of the year!

OUTNOW! Dichtboi - "Wer bin ich¿"

"Wer bin ich¿" zeigt eine tiefe Identitätskrise und Sinnsuche des Menschen. Dichtboi symbolisiert den verzweifelten Versuch, der Realität durch Illusionen zu entfliehen. Der Text erinnert daran, dass wahrer Mut darin besteht, sich den Herausforderungen des Lebens zu stellen und Erfüllung innerhalb der realen Grenzen zu suchen, oder es wird zur Flucht in eine andere Welt, die leider oft nur einen Ausweg kennt. Und so bleibt am Ende der Beginn einer neuen Ebene der Existenz. Nachdenkliches von Dichtboi zum Jahresende.

#ListenNOW! ‘Impulsein (ft. Micheline van Hautem)’ by Jean-Philippe Ruelle

Who hasn't experienced the initial excitement of new love? Intense and pulsating. Everything is new, and there is so much to discover. Jean-Philippe Ruelle picks up on this theme and stages it in ‘Impulsein’. While the first part is still characterised by this positive hectic pace, the second part plunges us into a continuation dominated by passion. The vocals and instrumentation are given great impetus by the sophisticated arrangement and bring a great deal of musical depth. ‘Impulsein’ by Jean-Philippe Ruelle and the beauty of an instrumental.
