Bleu Clair – Inner Circle

Elohim – “Didn’t Sign Up For This”

Elohim’s latest single, “Didn’t Sign Up For This”, is a bold fusion of indie vibes and UK garage, accentuated by raw acoustic guitar strums. This third release from her ongoing album cycle showcases her distinctive musical identity with a dark allure. The song serves as the final teaser before her highly anticipated album, Power Of Panic, drops this summer. Its deep bass and haunting melody reflect the emotional highs and lows of the human experience, giving listeners a glimpse into Elohim’s personal diary.

LEFTI – “I’m On Fire”

LEFTI, the project of producer Alex Suarez, releases “I’m On Fire”. The track captures the energy of a peak hour warehouse rager, combining analog acid elements with a robust tech house foundation. LEFTI’s sophisticated and edgy approach involved chopping up an acapella to create new phrases, then hiring a vocalist to re-record these parts, resulting in a dynamic and urgent vocal line. On top of this, he infused elements of acid house and harmoniously wove it with the structure of a tech house single fit for the club – the result is refreshing, time-testing, and generates an all-around house heater.

Blakery – “GRACE”

Rising hip-hop artist Blakery, hailing from the west side of Detroit, Michigan, has unveiled his brand-new single, “GRACE”. This motivational hip-hop/rap track provides a poignant glimpse into the trials and errors faced by a striving music artist, showcasing Blakery’s unique sound and artistic evolution. “GRACE” stands out with its hypnotic beat and Blakery’s effortless flow and sharp lyricism. The track’s production features a simple yet captivating beat, anchored by a melodic piano sample that influenced Blakery to deviate from his traditional style. This change has resulted in a track that is both fresh and deeply personal.

Vincent Van Great – “Thee Vibes”

Vincent Van Great, the dynamic producer, singer and rapper from Milwaukee, has unveiled his latest single, “Thee Vibes”, along with an accompanying music video.
