TENSNAKE – ‘SOMEBODY ELSE’ FEAT. BOY MATTHEWS (ELI & FUR REMIX)
OUT NOW
London based electronic duo Eli & Fur have remixed Tensnake’s latest single ‘Somebody Else’ feat. Boy Matthews.
Eli & Fur opt for a deep, melodic version of ‘Somebody Else’ that loses none of the dancefloor energy that makes the original so special, allowing Matthew’s key vocals to shine through. The track follows Shadow Child’s remix released in June, harnessing a nostalgic rave vibe to perfectly bring together the two new versions of the single into one package.
“Somebody Else” is probably my favourite song on the album. When Boy Matthews and I met in Los Angeles we instantly got along and the songwriting came very naturally together. I’d say it is also the song which reminds me the most of my time in Los Angeles; this city has such a nostalgic feel and I tried to capture that vibe in this song. There is a fair bit of retro style to the instrumental, but in combination with the modern vocals it sounds very fresh to me.” Tensnake
One of the most influential electronic artists of recent times, Hamburg-born Tensnake tasted UK chart success with 2010 smash ‘Coma Cat’, which peaked at #11 in the UK Indie Charts. He has since remixed songs from the likes of Aloe Blacc, Lana Del Rey, London Grammar and Duke Dumont, collaborated with Nile Rodgers, and dropped debut album Glow and amassed over 70 million streams on Spotify alone.
Eli & Fur’s unwavering passion for producing, songwriting and performing has put the London-based duo at the forefront of the international house & techno scene. They have released dark, emotive dance anthems on NYX, Kitsune ,and Above & Beyond’s Anjunadeep imprint.
Capturing the imagination of followers new and old from all over the globe with their signature sound, Eli & Fur put the perfect touch to create an addictive and mesmerizing track to add to the Tensnake catalogue of remixes around his upcoming album, L.A., due out this summer via Armada Music.
Tensnake ‘Somebody Else’ Feat. Boy Matthews (Eli & Fur Remix) is available now on Armada Music

FACE the Music, an alliance For Art and Cultural Entertainment (FACE) formed as a response to the negative economic and cultural impact of COVID-19 pandemic, has just launched its worldwide operations. This alliance exists as a not-for-profit association which will act globally, with the aim to support and enhance the electronic music industry. Founding members and associates include booking and management agencies, artists, promoters, club owners and other professionals from this industry, such as representatives of Yoyaku Agency, Toi.Toi.Musik, Fabric London, Mutek Festival, The BPM Festival, Visionquest, Avant Garden, BArtist Agency, Bleach Agency, Zero Logistics, Nomad Talent, Lola ED, Minibar, Discobar, Subsonic Music Festival and more.
The alliance will take action in creating a dialogue with decision-makers in politics and culture and national governments to investigate ways to be supported and saved. FACE the Music will, also, serve as a platform for professionals to communicate, collaborate and educate on designing the music industry’s re-opening. Additionally, FACE considers its mission to go beyond the so-called creative economy and raises awareness of the beneficial effects of nightlife in its social, intellectual, academic, artistic, and (counter-)cultural forms.
FACE the Music will be acting as a centralized force that will strengthen the industry’s collective needs and tackle common issues and difficulties, especially in times of turmoil such as the current global emergency. The alliance will also collate up-to-date information on measures as a response to the current crisis to provide instructions in a consistent manner. Furthermore, FACE will identify ways of driving sponsorship and/or funding which would be available to the benefits of our members, and aim to create partnerships and initiatives with other similar associations.
As a reminder, nightlife has not only been suspended worldwide, but it’s also a sector facing the most uncertainty about how and when it may re-open fully. While national efforts to save this culture are under discussion in places recognising nightlife such as Berlin or Amsterdam, FACE has identified the need for a collective and coordinated international response in the rest of the world as well.
All industry professionals, companies, associations are welcome to become members via the link: https://www.face-the-music.

Arizona-based indie-punk band Sundressed have just revealed their new single ‘Your Frequency’, off their forthcoming new album ‘Home Remedy’ – due September 18 via the band’s new home Rude Records. ‘Home Remedy’ features previous singles ‘Home Remedy’ and ‘Oh Please’. Pre-orders for ‘Home Remedy’ available now; HERE.
“’Home Remedy’ is a record about getting better by any means necessary,” shares frontman Trevor Hedges. “Despite many setbacks, I truly believe we were able to make our most authentic and honest record yet.”
He continues: “’Your Frequency’ is about the “side-hustle” culture. How it’s never okay to relax, how something always comes up when you’re almost ahead. This song is about the desire to have less worry about essential needs and have more time to be human.”
Living on such a chaotic planet, tossing and turning is inevitable. It’s hard to sleep in the midst of uncertainty. That’s why Sundressed was born. Lead vocalist and songwriter Trevor Hedges began his project in 2012, with the initial purpose of maintaining his sobriety. Now, eight years later, Hedges has refocused the project’s mission, writing songs that tackle mental health issues for others to take solace in. His confessional lyrics and punk-infused melodies inspire hope in listeners to continue moving forward.
With the addition of AJ Peacox (guitar), Vic Chan (drums), Matthew Graham, and Justin Portillo, Sundressed has never sounded better. With ‘Home Remedy’, produced by Mike Pepe (Taking Back Sunday), the band is determined to make a positive impact, one lyric at a time.
’Your Frequency’ is available worldwide now through Rude Records
FOLLOW SUNDRESSED
Coming off a feature on Lewka and Misoltri’s Sony Music single ‘Show You Off’, Singer/Songwriter Corey Holland, now marks his own entry into the music industry with smashing debut single ‘Mean That’.
The track is a bonafide R&B/pop tune, fuelled by heartfelt lyrics and a catchy chorus that’s written by Corey Holland. The instrumental was co-created by Corey Holland and Australian powerhouse producer FRAAN, who is known for his drum patterns and adding a lot of flavor to the simplest of melodies.
Corey Holland says that ‘Mean That’ was inspired by the idea of masking your truth in a relationship and the idea that neither of you really know what you want from the other. It’s an event that occurs for a lot of individuals in relationships and the artist wanted to capture this feeling.
“This is my first ever single and it has been in the vault for a while! In the past few months, I have been working with a few electronic music producers from around the world, and after a lot of amazing feedback from fans, I decided to release some original music.”
