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.

“He Brings Trouble” by Transit Cop

Transit Cop from Cheltenham, UK, have come of age. Seventeen years have passed, yet they’ve retained their youthful charm and fused it with the energy of the present. Their latest release, “He Brings Trouble,” is a frenetic swan song to a troublemaker. Accompanied by a fantastic riff, Guy Lewis showcases his vocal prowess, capturing the chaos in palpable moods.

Driven by the drums, they race through the alleys of memorability without looking back. Time flies too quickly, and suddenly, you’re grown up. Drums and synthesizers are perfectly linked by the bass, creating a timeless sound that sets them apart.

“He Brings Trouble” revives the past without sounding retro. Perhaps these seventeen years had to pass for them to reach their maturity. The wait has definitely been worth it, and anticipation for their next release is already at the starting blocks. We eagerly await to see if they can top “He Brings Trouble.” It will be challenging, but I believe they still have quite a bit up their sleeve.
