A Fusion of Nostalgia and Futurism in Alternative Electro-Pop: 'Tired Wild Hearts' by ALTARVIOLET

‘Tired Wild Hearts’ by ALTARVIOLET

ALTARVIOLET sounds like an unfamiliar, misty forest path, accompanied by trip-hop beats and surrounded by distant dark synths. Greta Hotmer's voice balances finely between tart and sweet, penetrating through the dense canopy like the finest rays of sunlight.

Her latest project fuses electropop, witch house, and acoustic melodies to create a unique listening experience that makes you feel like you're in a retro-vintage lounge and a futuristic spaceship simultaneously.

With the title track of the recently released album ‘Tired Wild Hearts’, ALTARVIOLET criticises those who deny responsibility for their own mistakes while exploiting others. The theme of emotional exploitation and double standards is explored and underscored with sharp imagery.

However, the song also offers a glimmer of hope by reminding us of the power of love and the human spirit to heal and renew. This dualistic portrayal makes the song both a social critique and a reflection on the resilience and restorative power of the human soul.

Anyone captivated by ‘Tired Wild Hearts’ should definitely give the album a listen, as it has so much to offer.

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.
