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...

"Wake up" by Ale Galata, Marveni

Ale Galata

My name is Ale Galata and I am a passionate singer and songwriter from Regensburg (Bavaria). Accompanied by music since my childhood, I write down my feelings, emotions, opinions and stories in my songs. From around the age of ten, I kept picking up my brother's guitar and strumming on it. I wrote my very first song with 12 or 13 years. And from then on I was addicted to music. Till today I’ve written so many songs and played in many positions in different bands. I have performed on many stages and I have gained a lot of experience.

Today I am 28 years old and I want to bring my music to the people. My music ranges from powerful pop to melodic ballads, characterized with energetic lyrics, that express feelings and tell stories. I released my debut single -Father- in March 2020. The second song -Not Enough- was released at the end of 2020 and my third single -Hands Up- in July 2021.

Through hard work, ambition and the constant urge to get better, I can already show some successes. I am constantly trying to educate myself, in all respects the music industry demand; including marketing, social media, etc.
As a result, I have already been able to build a loyal fan base. My goal is to reach people with my music. I want them to laugh, cry, dance, think or just not think at all, but also let go. And above all, I want to use my full potential. I can achieve all of this with my music.



Wake up

Die Inspiration zu "Wake up" basiert auf dem Thema des Träumens. Aus einem Albtraum zu erwachen werden die meisten als Erleichterung ansehen, was passiert jedoch wenn die "Traumwelt" um vieles schöner ist als die Realität, sprich die Wirklichkeit zum Schreckgespenst wird. Ein Gedankenspiel, welches das Leben an und für sich betrachtet. Wo befinden wir uns? Wo wollen wir hin? Stellen wir uns den Problemen oder flüchten wir? 
Die Thematik des Songs exzellent, die musikalische Umsetzung im Genre des Electro Pop zu finden, sehr “commercial“ und “radiofriently“ produziert, würde ich meinen. 
Äußerst interessant die Kombination der Lyrics, welche das eigentlich schwierige Thema leicht zugänglich macht, mit dem Genre des Electro-Pop zu versehen. Electro in den Tiefen des Lebens und der Psyche anzusiedeln darf man getrost als kleinen Geniestreich bezeichnen.  
…and at the end we have to say, "Wake up" by Ale Galata, definitely much more than just a simple Pop song.



Q&A

Who inspired you to make music in general

My parents bought me a drumset when I was 2 years old. They always supported me and my music. I grew up with music and I think my parents inspired me.


What is your creative process like ...and what inspired you to the song "Wake up"?

The most interesting thing about my creative process is that I dream about the melodies of my songs. I can hear it as if the song is already finished. Then I wake up and make a whole song out of it.
That’s because I’m very fascinated of the dreamworld and I wanted to make a song about dreams. And that's how I came up with the idea for the song wake up.


What's your most useful talent besides music?

I would say ambition, if that’s a talent :D. My ambition allows me to achieve lots of goals in my life


How would you describe 2021 in a sentence?

The most creative year in my life.


What was the first ever Pop/Rock/etc. ... song you listened to or remember on?

I think the first song I remember is „Captain Jack“ I think I was 2 or 3 years old and I was listening in the living room to this song.


You are from Regensburg, how would you describe the music scene there?

Here in my city there are lot of talented music artist with lot of different genres. Many musicians here combine bavarian culture with modern music. I think that’s very cool and creative.


Do you remember your first ever self-written song?

Yeah sure! I was 12 or 13 years old. It was a German song written on the guitar. I still remember the hook but I forgot the rest of the song.


What’s next for you?

I always try to get better and produce more songs. I’m also working on a new live program and I want to expand my fanbase.
