Please Insert Coin: ‘Games’ by The Octopus Division

‘Games’ by The Octopus Division If you love the 80s and don't know Matt Muncie (aka The Octopus Division), you've definitely missed something. But as it's never too late for good music, you can catch up on what you've missed anytime and almost anywhere.  The Octopus Division's latest work is called ‘Games’ and once again represents the decade of neon lights perfectly. The major sequences are classically chosen, and you'll be hooked from the start. Back in the world of arcade games, the song becomes an intense journey of self-discovery, describing personal growth. Timelessness and shared experiences emphasize the importance of interpersonal bonds. ‘Games’ creates a dreamy atmosphere that allows you to immerse yourself in another world and makes you think about the future - all because you pressed the start button.  The entire production clearly bears Matt's signature, with classic drums, synth arrangements, and above all, the usual concise vocal part, which...

"Bad Dream" by Tyler Garrett

Tyler Garrett

LA based songwriter and vocalist Tyler Garrett has combined a unique set of influences to create electronic pop with a twist. Born in South Carolina, he first discovered his love for singing as a teenager, participating in youth choirs where he eventually became a lead singer. He has spent years developing his craft and has gone from strength to strength, including being offered a private audition for The Voice. 
In partnership with his current producer, Tyler has recorded over 50 songs and has collaborated with other artists as a featured vocalist, notably with British duo Siskiyou on When the Tide Comes, which was released on bass giant UKF, as well as with his friend and collaborator Jeriqo on You Have Me. Tyler puts his heart and soul into his music and whether just at home or in the studio, his love for singing is palpable. As an independent artist, his wide ranging influences give him a unique style and the ability to think outside the box in his writing, production, and arrangements, and he has been inspired by many different artists.



Bad Dream

Heute machen wir einen Schritt Richtung 80er. Dort treffen wir Tyler Garrett und seine letzte Veröffentlichung "Bad Dream". "... I'm an 80s baby and wanted to take it back and used some fun synths and vocals for this ...", sagte Tyler. Und genau diese "fun synths" sind es, die wie fizzy colourful Bubble Gums herumschweben und Retrofeelings pur erzeugen
Unterstützung erfahren sie durch den Part der Vocals, welcher gekonnt nochmals eine Portion Nostalgie nachlegt. Mit "Bad Dream" taucht der Künstler in diese bunte Dekade ein und bleibt dieser bis zum Ende treu. Textlich ließ er sich von der Liebe inspirieren, den Dramen die mit einhergehen, den guten wie auch den schlechten Dingen einer Beziehung. 
"Bad Dream" by Tyler Garrett ist feinster "80s Pop Garn", der mit großem Geschick zu einem Stück 80s Dream gewebt wurde und nicht nur Leute, die "pretty in pink" gekleidet sind, begeistern wird.
