The Zeitgeist of Modern Synthwave: "Woken up by a sharp pain" by The Memory Of Snow

‘Woken up by a sharp pain’ by The Memory Of Snow

A melodic track, its hooks promising to ensnare, dances between synthpop and guitar riffs, a siren’s call we couldn’t resist. We embarked on this auditory journey, where lyrics pulse with raw intensity and emotion. ‘Woken up by a sharp pain’ delivers a message of resilience, survival, and self-worth, an anthem urging defiance against suffering and injustice, a hymn to cherish life.

Symbolically dressed in an '80s outfit, it captures the zeitgeist of modern synthwave, the warm hum of synths entwined with cutting-edge technology. The beat initially caught me off guard and I have had to listen again and again, but it ultimately fits perfectly and convinces me wholeheartedly. The vocals intensify and unfold in the chorus while maintaining their coolness. As the second verse plays, I’m already anticipating the next chorus, ready to be captivated once again.

‘Woken up by a sharp pain’ isn’t just the fourth single from the forthcoming ‘Atlantic’ album; it’s a gift. For '80s enthusiasts and modern synthwave aficionados alike, this is a must-listen, an invitation to discover, to be unswervingly moved. And for curious souls seeking something new, I can only reiterate: definitely give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed.

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.
