The feeling of full surrender: "You" by Jules Atlas

Jules Atlas

Whether in New York, London, Hamburg or Amsterdam: Jules Atlas shows up with nothing but his voice and a guitar to have his audiences instantly captivated by his songs. Born and raised in Hamburg, he took on the challenge of the London music scene at the age of 18 where his regular appearances on the city’s stages quickly turned peoples’ heads.

His raw guitar playing, vivid melodies and story-telling lyrics spark a Gaslight-Café-nostalgia. Authentic and genuine, melancholic and rousing: Jules Atlas sings folk songs in pop flavour.

Geboren und aufgewachsen in Hamburg, ausgestattet mit großartigen Talenten, Talente, die es braucht, um im Genre des Folks zu reüssieren. Jules Atlas, so der Name des jungen Künstlers, veröffentlichte vor ein paar Tagen seinen Debütsong "You", in dieser akustischen Ballade beschreibt der Hamburger Singer-Songwriter das Gefühl, sich ganz und gar der Anziehungskraft eines anderen Menschen hinzugeben.

"You" überzeugt einerseits durch seine musikalische Umsetzung und andererseits durch das "Storytelling" selbst. Der akustischen Begleitung, welche in ihrer Fragilität, die Gratwanderung der Hingabe perfekt skizziert, steht die Geschichte selbst gegenüber. Beides verschmilzt mit den Vocals von Jules Atlas zu einem Folk Song besonderer Güte.

#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.
