New Music Playlist

Artists: Kaskade & BROHUG Title: 1990 Label: Arkade Release date: January 24, 2020 Download / Stream Kaskade joins forces with the Swedish trio BROHUG (composed of John Dahlbäck, and Chris and Niklas Lunde) for perhaps the most prolific throwback single in electronic music to date, a tribute to one of the most significant years in music - 1990. The namesake-titled track is a play on SNAP!'s iconic "The Power," reworked with snippets of the original vocals set to Kaskade and BROHUG's ingenious production. Opening with a groovy melody as the backdrop to nostalgia-ridden lyrical riffs, "1990" progressively builds the tension to almost unbearable levels. We all know the moments just before a track of this magnitude drops, and the pressure is real right before the bouncy and driving crescendo, on which every old school fan's favorite line, "I've Got the Power!" rides perfectly. "1990" is out on Kaskade's Arkade imprint. Hear about the new release in the artists' own words below: "1990 was an incredible year for music. You couldn't go into a club, pizzeria, or record store without hearing the iconic song by SNAP! "The Power," and here we are in 2020 with it still buzzing in the zeitgeist. '1990' is only to be played on the loudest of speakers, and has got the power to stay stuck in your head long after hearing it." - Kaskade & BROHUG As a household name in electronic music for nearly two decades, Kaskade needs no introduction. His list of achievements is a mile long: 11 studio albums, 7 GRAMMY nominations, the first solo electronic dance artist to sell out both Navy Pier in Chicago and the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the first DJ to ever secure a Las Vegas residency, and the first electronic artist to headline Coachella. Less tangible but even more important has been his influence on dance music tastes and culture for generations of listeners. Often Kaskade is one of the artists who introduced now-veteran listeners to the genre, and such fans are usually fans for life. In 2019, he worked with multi-award winner Meghan Trainor on "With You" and Gorgon City on "Go Slow," among solo releases, such as "My Light," "Come On," and official remixes for the likes of Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani earlier. Regardless of their satirical stage name, BROHUG is not here to play games. Since John Dahlbäck and the Lunde brothers formed BROHUG in 2016, the trio has worked with Ghastly, remixed Steve Angello, and released on labels such as Confession, Spinnin' Records, Dim Mak, Musical Freedom, and their new label BROHOUSE. In 2019, their release schedule was packed with relentless hit after hit. Virtually unrivaled, their touring has been intense since the start, and 2020 will be no exception. BROHUG has really put their name out, with sets on festivals like Ultra Music Festival in Miami and Tomorrowland in Belgium, touring Australia and several tours in the US and Asia. A new decade brings with it new possibilities, so stay tuned to hear more from Kaskade and BROHUG coming soon.

‘New Wales’ draws on the simplicity and depth of the place they call home, with classic songwriting and production styles reminiscent of R.E.M. and Tom Petty, mixed with the immediacy and upbeat catchiness of MGMT and Beck. Pull back the veil on the seemingly straight-ahead pop songs and you’ll find something new every time, “I feel I’ve entered one of those vintage stores where the prices are a little higher than you want, but the crap-junk choices have already been sorted out.” says producer Rusty Matyas (Imaginary Cities, The Weakerthans). Veteran Winnipeg Musicians David Pankratz, Sandy Taronno, Matthew Harder, Rob Mitchell and Jamie Taronno have played stages all over the world, whether writing, producing or touring with their own projects or lending skills to talented friends, they’ve developed a combined century of experience in the music industry, racking up major songwriting credits, awards, and loyal fans. Two new singles, ‘Face Tattoo’ and ‘Winnipeg’, to be released in fall 2019 are rich with big, sing-along melodies and chord structures that can offer energizing positivity, or reflective beauty. “They’re the kind of songs you have blaring out of your convertible while driving down the freeway,” says mix engineer Dave Schiffman (The Strumbellas, Vampire Weekend),“In my 25 plus years of making records I have always tried to work with artists who are true to themselves and their craft. New Wales more than fulfills that goal and I expect to hear big things from these guys.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bXr3SCpPJs https://www.newwales.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/newwalesband https://www.instagram.com/newwalesband/

New Wales ‘Winnipeg’ Premiere

Minuscule is the brainchild of ukulelist Laurel Minnes, harnessing the power of a 15-piece all-female choir and an eclectic backing band to create a powerful new form of feminist pop music. Making their debut performance with a sold out set at St. Catharines In the Soil Festival, Minuscule has continually clapped, stomped and meowed their way into winning over every audience they've met. Drawing comparisons to the weaving melodies of Imogen Heap and moving experience of Choir!Choir!Choir!, Minuscule's unforgettable live performances are making choral music cool again. The debut album Great, co-produced by Minnes and Joe Lapinski (Great Lake Swimmers, Woodshed Orchestra, DRFTR) was soft released November 2019. The 10 tracks encompass a genre-bending blend of intricate five-part vocal harmonies and emotionally stirring, tongue-in-cheek lyricism - and features title track Great, which secured Minnes' recognition as Songwriter of the Year at the 2018 Niagara Music Awards.

Minuscule ‘Lukewarm Love’ Premiere

What is your name and role in Heartlake?  Our roles vary between members and expertise, Noah usually spends his time on stage looking at his nicely crafted pedal board, Giac chooses to hit drums as a form of communication following speech therapy in his younger years (true story), Luca tends to play a couple notes on the bass with beer in hand, and Liam is a walking megaphone, whilst struggling with singing/playing coordination.  Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there? We’re based in the Northern Beaches, Sydney where there’s plenty young talented bands on the rise, and ones that have established themselves worldwide from the beaches that we all look up to for example Ocean Alley and Lime Cordiale who we supported for a couple shows on their dirt cheap tour in Dee Why 2018.  How did Heartlake form? It all started with Giac, Luca (brothers) and Noah who’ve known each other for many years and shared the same love for music and enjoyed playing Sweet Child O’ Mine on repeat, which led to asking Liam who played football with Luca to front the band about a year in at the end of 2017 and actually beginning to craft an original sound. Your new single ’Watching over you’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting? We had a number of different songs to choose from when deciding which would be the best to hit people’s ears first. We wanted to capture something that got into the hook fast to hopefully grab your attention, and something simple that can be remembered whilst exploring ways to build the instrumentation with a number of different effects to capture a demanding sound. We all have our own individual tastes and ways of playing and writing so therefore we carry a bunch of different influences whether you may hear them in the song or not. Some of these artists include The Wombats, RHCP, Lime Cordiale, Sticky Fingers, Kings of Leon, the 1975.  How did you go about writing watching over you? Liam had come up with a verse guitar part and melody, but we needed something that would bring this together and build into a song. So we built the chorus around the bass hook which we felt created a solid statement and platform into making the general flow of the song clearer. When developing the song in the studio, our aim was to caption an insight into our sound for those listening for the first time and wanting to explore us further.  How did you go about achieving the sound? We wanted to create a sense of punchiness and drive, which we achieved through the layering of guitars and vocals in the chorus, and locking in a bass and drum groove which we could build a song around, while creating interest with the use of delays and modulation for example throughout the verses and bridge. We’ve always had a lot of fun with effects when songwriting, and a lot of these sounds from our initial ideas were developed in the studio and we’d like to credit our producer for making that work.  Where did you record? We recorded our single ‘Watching over you’ at a home based studio called ‘Jaminajar Music Production’ in Narrabeen with Paul Najar. We got the opportunity to record here when we one the Beaches ‘Northern Composure’ which has been a sick platform to get going for younger bands on the rise. What programs/instruments did you use during the recording/production process? We recording bass guitar and acoustic drums simultaneously in the same room, and following that we mic’d up guitar amps and processing most of our effects through a number of different plugins.  Who did you record with? We recorded with Paul Najar, who has been great for us through his experience and professional manner in the studio really helped focus us and record the best possible version of our song. We’re so stoked with what he’s helped us achieve and we’re excited to get our music our out into the world. We hope you love it as much as we do. Please explain how you approached the recording process: We spent about a day tracking the drums and bass in the studio, this part was the most challenging as this is when we really critiqued the song and made sure we were doing what we wanted to do with the song and made small final adjustments with Paul, our producer. Giac probably had about 10 different takes on the kit as we were still experimenting with structure while recording. We moved onto guitars next and took a while exploring different sounds, and synths and vocals last once the rest of the song was laid down. Who are you listening to at the moment? We’re all different in our personal music tastes which is like a piece of the puzzle to our sound, currently we’re enjoying Tame Impala’s new stuff, the 1975, Lime Cordiale, the Weeknd, Mac Miller’s new album (Rest in Peace), Yungblud, Hockey Dad, Tora and Sticky Fingers ‘Yours to Keep’ album.  What do you like to do away from music? We’ve all got our different interests, from the surf, to the gym, enjoying footy season, eating, drawing and painting, having a couple (which usually leads to 10) beers on a fine Saturday night, the list goes on.  What’s planned for 2020? We’ve got a busy year ahead of us. We plan to get as many gigs under our belt as we can and get our name out there and release more music following Watching Over You, two of our members graduated high school last year so we’re gonna give it our all this year and see where it takes us. Favourite food and place to hangout? Favourite food is definitely burgers. We’ve been on a mission to find the tastiest burger around and can confirm that Bar Luca in the city is something else, the Blame Canada is the burger to beat (this is not sponsored). We keep ourselves entertained with anything that’s put in front of us, and enjoy taking the mick out of each other once every few minutes wherever we go.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heartlakeband/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartlake_/

Soothing and introspective, Yeppoon based trio Ava Kaydo showcase their unique blend of psychedelic dream pop and indie rock with debut single 'Lucid'. Formed in 2017 and inspired by 'fruit puns and too many beers', Maddy, Ben and Jeremy are ready to take Ava Kaydo out of coastal Central Queensland and spread their track across the indie music scene.  Slow-reverb guitar chords paired with drum progression and hypnotising vocals creating a hazy and aurally blissful soundscape. "We try and achieve a dreamy vibe in all our songs with a groovy beat', and the band have done just that. The track explores the idea of lucid dreaming as a form of escapism from difficult emotions. "Our single ‘Lucid’ explores the concept of lucid dreaming and how its an escape from shitty emotions", explains Maddy Chalk.   Taking notes from Ocean Alley, Tame Impala, Methyl Ethel and DMA’s, Ava Kaydo are a breezy mix of ambient indie rock on the cusp of psychedelia. Amongst creating music, the band are also passionate about keeping the rural Australian music scene alive and have been seen playing alongside names like Kingswood, The Hoodoo Gurus and Tia Gostelow. For the meantime, sit back, relax and experience the 'Lucid' reverie for yourself.  'Lucid' is OUT NOW! CONNECT ONLINE WITH AVA KAYDO

The first wave of names for this sun soaked, naturalistic getaway include Raresh, Seth Troxler, tINI, Sonja Moonear, Dyed Soundorom, John Dimas, Priku, Praslea, Cap, Digby, Cesar Merveille with many more to be announced. In 2019, UNUM made an immediate mark with its debut edition, that played out on the stunning Albanian Riviera with a world class line-up. The festival really shined a spotlight on the last untapped corner of Europe: Rana e Hedhun, in the town of Shengjin, on the idyllic Albanian coastline. Now running even longer by starting Thursday and continuing non-stop until Monday, music plays both the day and night, so you can expect blissful sunrise and sunset parties, as well as a wealth of water sports, local culture, rich food and drink offerings and a music loving crowd from all corners of the world. There are also isolated bays and golden sand beaches to explore, and all with the stunning Albanian Alps as the backdrop. UNUM is the type of blissful and dreamy, organic and natural place, that feels undiscovered and hidden away from the rest of the world. In 2020, there are once more three stages: The Beach Stage, which runs from sunrise until sunset, will be more experimental and chilled during the daytime, to give people a place to enjoy the surroundings. The Main Stage, which runs from sunset until dawn, and finally the Into the Pines Stage, which runs 24 hours a day and mixes world renowned names, regional artists and a mix of alternative and experimental musical styles, all in the shade of lush pine trees which infuse the air with their scent. More than 50 international and local artists from across the house and techno spectrum will perform, such as Raresh, Seth Troxler, tINI, Sonja Moonear, Dyed Soundorom, John Dimas, Priku, Praslea, Cap, Digby, and Cesar Merveille. This is a boutique event that offers the chance to experience a brand new and lesser known corner of Europe with a world class soundtrack. There are also pre-parties lined up from now until the festival in Berlin, Zurich, Geneva, Istanbul, Tirana, Skopje, and Belgrade.

It has been a whirlwind January for HAWA. First, she closed Telfar’s Pitti Uomo fashion show in Florence performing atop an ornate table above Solange, Kelela and Juliana Huxtable, followed by a performance that grabbed Vogue’s attention at Gap x Telfar’s event in Paris and now she announces her debut EP. ​the ONE​ will be released on March 5 via b4 / Remote Control. The EP includes previously released single 'MY LOVE' and is produced by Tony Seltzer with beats from Cadenza, Kashaka & Oscar Key Sung. HAWA also shares new single 'IPHONE' today, a melancholic Hip Hop call for romantic ceasefire where clarity in a relationship is sought, circling back to the EP’s title. HAWA says of the new track,““IPHONE” is about a person trying to do everything right by the one they’re in love with, but still feeling like that person is never fully satisfied. It seems like they’re losing their love. Is the only reason why they’re staying is because they’re used to it?” Pitchfork says HAWA’s strong, ​direct “sing-rap delivery stand[s] out in a crowded New York scene” and her tracks have received praise everywhere from FADER to Dazed to Pigeons & Planes. Although HAWA’s first-ever song was released just over a year ago and she graduated from high school this past spring, the 19-year-old has already lived many lives. Born in Berlin to West African parents and raised in New York City, as a pre-teen HAWA was one of the youngest-ever composers for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom she toured the world. But soon HAWA’s insatiable creativity became stifled by the classical world’s stuffy limitations so she broke out. the ONE​ is released on b4, a future-facing label launched in 2018 that serves as a home for tomorrow’s most relevant artists. The music on b4 is a reflection of the genre-smashing landscape, where prior categories no longer apply. This is b4’s first-ever EP release. HAWA - the ONE EP 1. INTRO 2. AROUND ME 3. MY LOVE 4.

Tour Dates Friday 6th March: Pitch Music & Arts, Moyston Saturday 7th March: FourFour, Adelaide   Sunday 8th March: Baker’s Lane, Launceston Friday 13th March: The Bottom End, Melbourne Sunday 15th March: Warehouse TBC, Perth Widely praised for her ‘uncompromising aesthetic’, it remains difficult to diminish a meteoric talent such as SPFDJ. With early roots in London, she acquainted herself with DIY projects and the local scene, playing regularly for the all-female techno collective Universe of Tang alongside London club institution Siren. Relocating to Berlin, she coerced life out of dancefloors as a regular of all good things electro, hardcore, and trance at the local legendary Herrensauna events. Apart from bringing a Wall of Sound to these parties, she powers many of the city’s underground raves, co-operating System.out Sound making available hireable Funktion One loudspeakers and amplifiers. SPFDJ further jolted the scene with the establishment of Intrepid Skin, her own label featuring likeminded creators like Nene H and VTSS. The label recently released the much-awaited Schacke EP 'There's Something Inside Me', which extensively landscaped the rave sound. An SPFDJ set is a graffiti of imagination, blisters, techno, ruthlessness, bubbling acid, kick drums, EBM, and trance. SPFDJ's provocative nature is incomparable, her Resident Advisor bio proves she "plays techno dystopia, gabber kicks looking angry but classy". A mix between techno dystopia and euphoric release, her trademark style makes her unforgettable and unmissable. With a string of 2020 international bookings, including Pitch Music & Arts and Dekmantel, SPFDJ's trajectory suggests she is about to become extermely sough-after... Tailgating SPFDJ is no easy task. Her sharp ascent is born of a taste for dynamics that approach and bank with ecstatic momentum. Occasionally working at vicious speeds, acidic techno climes are funnelled through kaleidoscopic wares from the wealth of high-energy outposts found across dance music today. Hailing originally from Sweden, SPFDJ’s beginnings were in London as part of the infamous collective Universe of Tang, an ongoing club operation steeped in DIY means and mystifying aesthetics. A relocation to Berlin then prompted a new chapter of projects and activity, and the chance to import her affiliations. With sprintf, she runs the Cranial Handles transmission, the System.out sound system, and the latest party coerced into life: Power Play. Drawing now on the many and varied collaborative efforts at the heart of her activity, SPFDJ deliver   Connect with SPFDJ:

Canadian singer/songwriter Tanya Ryan is thrilled to announce this week’s release of her new single and music video, “My Heart Song”. “My Heart Song” – Ryan’s inspirational self-love ballad, which is produced by Mark Troyer – is the lead single from her new album, Open, coming February 20th. The first new single release since her Top 3 finish in 2017’s Project WILD Artist Development Project, “My Heart Song” follows a period of deep transformation for the Okotoks, Alberta native. “I went through a period of depression in which I felt really lost and isolated. This song came from the smallest voice that reminded me there is a force greater than ourselves that can support and guide us if we choose to reach for it. It was the final song written for Open, and I chose to release it as the first single because it is the most vulnerable and real. My intention moving forward in life and in music is to be entirely transparent. This was the most honest first step,” says Ryan.   Ryan’s new music marks an artistic shift as well. Known for her country sound on her 2014 EP Simple As That and at many live shows like the Calgary Stampede and the Big Valley Jamboree, the CCMA Discovery alumnus and ACMA-nominated artist has adopted a “country crossover” style for Open that also integrates roots and pop elements.  Joining “My Heart Song” on the album are five other tracks written by Ryan: the empowering life fulfilment anthem “Almost Famous”, the assertive love ballad “I Want You” (co-written with Steve Mitchell in Nashville), the unapologetic tongue-in-cheek pop-funk track “So. Damn. Good”, the contemplative ballad of relationship exploration “Love Like That”, and “Dimes” – a heartfelt ballad about a late mother’s wishes on her son’s wedding day. Ultimately for Ryan, Open is an authentic expression and exploration of love in its many forms. The soon-to-be mom says, “In my own life, I wanted to understand the expressions, facets, and nuances of love - love observed by a romantic partner, sexual love, mother’s love, self-love, and a love of one’s ambitious pursuits. This album represents my own understanding of love.” Tanya Ryan will support these releases with several Canadian shows in Alberta.
