Speaking about the single off their forthcoming ‘Field Trip’ EP, Niiko x SWAE said “pun intended, this song really helps “glue” the whole EP together. It’s radio friendly, but also fun and energetic enough to be played in clubs, which makes it a really diverse track. In terms of momentum, we really think this song helps drive the EP and push forward our new sound we have been working so hard to perfect.” Kicking 2021 off on an all-time high, the EP’s lead single ‘I Ain’t Going Home’ with April Bender received heavy radio support, including BPM, Dash Radio, Music Choice and hit #46 on the overall chart.  At the forefront of a new dance revolution with their vibrant offerings, ‘Glue’ readies the dance music world for the release of their ‘Field Trip’ EP on Armada Music.

Renaissance signings Forgotten Notes release powerful ‘Resurrect’ EP !

In an age and industry obsessed with pigeon-holing musical genres, it’s always refreshing when something new comes along. And you don’t forget those moments easily; when the Renaissance A&R department heard Forgotten Notes first demo early last year, they were taken by both the uniqueness of sound and quality of production. We think they’re a very exciting prospect indeed.

Now, intrepid Swiss duo Ron and Erhan aka Forgotten Notes return with the ‘Resurrect EP’ on Renaissance, which comprises a trilogy of tracks that further highlights their scope and ability. Whether title record ‘Resurrect’ with its powerful groove and amazingly original, tempo-switching breakdown; the deep house shimmer of ‘Celestial’ or the melodic techno ascent of ‘Radiance’, this is an EP that is as beautiful as it is varied. You can hear the time and effort that has gone into the project as the guys explain, “We deliberately did three differing tracks. It’s important to us that we connect with our listeners and, as music is so subjective, we cast a diverse net. The trick was to keep it cohesive though, each track may be very different, but our goal was to retain a consistent vibe throughout.”

The package is completed by another new Renaissance signing – Loew. Fresh from his breakout success with a bootleg of Leftfield’s ‘Not Forgotten’, he kick-starts his Renaissance relationship with a hair-raising take on ‘Celestial’. His interpretation is a full-on, end-of-set, atmospheric breaks stormer. By adding a vocal and bringing out the track’s central piano riff he delivers something very special indeed and sets the bar for an exciting future. Expect to hear more from him on the label later this year…

Vini Vici, Blastoyz, and Jean Marie teamed up to deliver you “Gaia” !

Joining forces to deliver a psy trance tune of massive proportions, Vini Vici and Blastoyz alongside Jean Marie managed to score yet another hit song with their latest release on Spinnin Records “Gaia”.
Featuring ethnic infusions of sound with the use of diverse stringed and woodwind instruments, pumping beats and the Vini Vici signature psy bassline, “Gaia” is a wonderful mixture of organic and electronic, with a great balance of energy and atmosphere all throughout the track. The breakdown is very chilling and powerful with the vocals kicking in alongside the other instruments, while the energy is being maintained with the use of tribal and ethnic percussion. The whole track feels very atmospheric and cohesive, all elements blending in well together and the transitions taking the track smoothly from section to section. Definitely another killer tune we recommend. Listen or download “Gaia” here:

It’s been a big hit throughout my sets on this club tour celebrating 10 years of KSHMR.” – KSHMR

Lucas & Steve x LAWRENT celebrate everlasting love with new single!

While still gaining traction with their early 2024 party anthem “When I Wake Up,” renowned Dutch DJ/production duo Lucas & Steve now returns with a whole different gem, sharing one of its most sentimental tunes to date, “End Of Time.” Teaming up with esteemed London-based artist LAWRENT, the guys find themselves in the midst of spring fever, as they share dreamy melodies and subtle, heart warming drops to accompany the emotional outbursts of featured singer Jordan Shaw. A genuine soundtrack for everlasting love, this collab perfectly captures those vibes we all look for, highlighted this spring, as it’s out through Spinnin’ Records.

Having built a solid resume that includes several timeless pop gems, one of dance music’s most treasured duo’s Lucas & Steve is definitely no stranger to the craft of an unadulterated love song. Same goes for up-and-coming French multi-instrumentalist LAWRENT, who’s creative, uplifting songwriting forms the perfect counterpart for Lucas & Steve’s famous bursts of melodic euphoria. 

In essence, “End Of Time” is about undying love. Or, as LAWRENT describes it: “This song is about finding someone that you can love and hold on to, grow together with but never apart, knowing that you got each other even when the world out there gets crazy.”

The guys perfectly paint this picture with warm soundscapes, backing up the touching vocals of singer/songwriter Jordan Shaw, best known for his work with Armin van Buuren, Mike Williams & Felix Jaehn and Punctual. As his efforts gain strength, emotions start running high, emphasized by a chorus that affectively lets him scream out ‘I wanna hold you, till the end of time.’  

What follows is the melodic equivalent of these overwhelming sentiments, as Lucas & Steve and LAWRENT let the song drop into a series of airy, guitar-sounding hooks, drenched in reverbs while bending the chords here and there to gain maximum emotional impact. Effectively, the tune approaches some of that late 90’s/early zeroes dance pop nostalgia, while keeping the pulse on contemporary songwriting thanks to its characteristic chord progressions and impeccable production style.     

So, what it all boils down to, is how “End Of Time” marks the start of something new. It’s a romance going all the way, backed by a soundtrack that ambitiously builds a bridge between vintage sounds and modern day vibes, all wrapped into a timeless song that will last you a lifetime – or at least the love of your life.
