‘The Secret’s Out’ by Andy Jans-Brown, Cameron Spike-Porter

A beat that sneaks around the corner, occasionally reminiscent of the early '90s but not quite belonging there, as it pulses too closely to the zeitgeist. ‘The Secret’s Out’ by Andy Jans-Brown is out now and is definitely more than just a playlist addition. Fine indie rock that doesn’t neglect its roots and is refined through originality.

Andy Jans-Brown’s vocals demonstrate character and lead the track. The drums are varied without being intrusive, subtle perfection, one might say, while amidst it all, a bass holds the structure together as the lead guitar repeatedly tries to break free. Musically excellent.

Lyrically, we traverse the various facets of falling, starting with the exhilarating plunge into the embrace of love, all the way to the decay of empires. Along the way, we encounter the whimsical folly of the fool, the seductive call of propaganda, and the allure of deception. And despite all the experiences and adversities we encounter on our journey called life, a part of us always remains naive and innocent.

Returning to the beginning, where it says, ‘I have a story for you, some of which might even be true…’, what is definitely true is that Andy Jans-Brown (vocals, guitar), Cameron Spike-Porter (bass), and David Ely (drums) have conjured up a fantastic piece of indie pop/rock and are helping shorten the wait for the album release with this eloquent piece of music.

ListenNOW! "Misery" from the new album CASUALTY by Straight Razor

#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.
