"Blow-Up" by Don’t Get Lemon

... is a cool, ironic, stylish, detached, danceable pop trio based in Austin and Houston, Texas. Commanding a sound that ranges from 70s Berlin to 80s Manchester, DGL seek to entice the senses with their glam infused synth-pop. There is an alternative to DGL, but could we live with it?

Sharing a name with Michaelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 swinging London film, Don’t Get Lemon’s “Blow-Up” glimpses into the unseen dark. Lyrics partially pieced together borrowing from William Burroughs cut-up technique and images inspired by David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet”, direct sweet melodies that reanalyze the 3 minute pop song.

Don’t Get Lemon schaffen es erneut zu überraschen und liefern mit "Blow-Up" feinsten Synth-Pop der 80er. Sie lassen den Hörer in ABC-esquen Erinnerungen schwelgen und entlocken mir ein "fizzy smile".

Cool, ironic, stylish, detached & danceable, geben sie als ihre Eigenschaften an, und da will ich auch gar nicht großartig widersprechen, da mir "Blow-Up" einfach zu sehr gefällt. Einmal gehört, bleibt das gute Stück sofort im Gehörgang hängen und macht sich auf den Weg seinen Retro-Charme zu versprühen. Wer nostalgischen Sound mag, wird es lieben, wer nicht, wird zumindest staunen.

#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.

#OUTNOW! Eutanásia - "Eutanásia (Album)"

In his work, post-punk merges with electronic textures and guitars, drawing the listener into the dark alleys of existence; it is a descent into the catacombs of the underground, into the realm of longing and the unknown. Eutanásia (aka Pedro Werner) is the name of the artist who has just released his debut album of the same name. The lead single, ‘Doce Demais’ (feat. Two Internet Ghosts), is just a small excerpt from it and shows just one nuance of the multi-layered album. Not just for genre fans!
