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. It's the combination that creates this. Synth aesthetics combined with a drum machine that plays up its retro charm and an irresistible bassline make for a soundscape that may sound a little vintage, but definitely has the strengths of the present.  In this fascinating soundscape, in which there are so many inconspicuous details to discover, Kate Pending seems to fe...

“Arapsi” by julakim, julakim Trio

“Arapsi” by julakim, julakim Trio

Julakim returns and, as of yesterday, presents us with her latest work, “Arapsi.” The lyrics of the song, written by Pedro Agi, are distinguished by their profound expressiveness. In “Arapsi,” Julakim transforms an allegory about human striving for a higher existence and inner peace into musical sounds. She addresses the longing to transcend the boundaries of the everyday and to strive for something greater, even if it means leaving the familiar behind.
The work is distinguished by a touch of psychedelia that provokes reflection and has a profound effect. Julakim succeeds in making the persistent connection to another world audible and restructuring thoughts on transience. The interpretation of Pedro Agi’s poetic text is highly accomplished. The musical implementation drapes the work in a melancholic veil, leading listeners into a world of reflection and quiet remembrance. The text was not forced into a form but guided by Julakim’s emotions, which she experienced through the loss of her Brazilian adoptive grandfather.
The result is an impressive work by Pedro Agi and Julakim that provokes thought, deeply moves, and strengthens our hope that memories live forever.
