Review: LOMEZ – AFTERHOURS EP

EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, REVIEWS, TECH HOUSE

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Reviewed by Eversun Full of diversity and textures, Afterhours presents listeners with a unique warehouse styled 9 nine track musical adventure. Lomez starts us off nice and easy with Summerside featuring Atnarko. He really shows off the depth of his diversity and influences Summerside wraps the musicality of progressive into the underling deep laidback grooves. On my mind takes the vibes up a notch into the realm of Tech house bringing punchier drums, a darker atmosphere and an edgy floor shaking bass. An instrumental drum-free six and a half minutes of pure deep progressive atmosphere and relaxing vibes. Distance & Love is a good example of the musical abilities of Lomez. Smiles in my sleep featuring the vocals Phillip Charles brings...

New Release Review: LUKE FAIR

EDM NEWS, HOUSE, NEW RELEASES, REVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Reviewed by Eversun There was once a time when the groovy sounds of disco was the norm, but as the techniques and technology used in electronic music has evolved the true disco sound has become somewhat a rarity. However there are some producers who have learned to effectively modernize the sound while still keeping true to the roots, Toronto house legend Luke Fair is one those producers. Released on Spirit soul, Gravitron offers two Originals (Gravitron, Blueshift) as well as two remixes of the title track by Silver city and the Babel Orchestra and a remix of Blueshift by Phunktastike. The original mix of Gravitron starts us off with a perfect introduction to the sounds of "Discoteca" as it is often called. Full of energy and melodic impact, and a...

New Release: TUBE & BERGER – PLEASURE DIP

EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, TECH HOUSE

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Reviewed by Eversun Coming straight off the momentum of the highly successful Lovebreak (Number 1 on the Beatport general top 100 chart), Tube and Berger have taken little time to bring us more of their signature deep vibes with their 2 track release on Suara Pleasure dip. The A-side In my dip has a similar vibe to Lovebreak featuring a wicked build up of ambiance and melodies before dropping to a jaw dropping bass heavy groove. This tune has all the elements necessary to drive a peak time house crew into a frenzy. Imprint of pleasure takes a more organic approach using elements of western and middle east sounds to carry the track. The melodic guitar based groove creates a great aura for relaxing outside of the club yet contains enough energy to...

Photosynthesis: My Writer’s Journey, Part Deux

EDM NEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] By Damen Smith-Draeko --Photosynthesis is an annual EDM music festival based here in Washington State. It’s a spiritual/psychedelic gathering of artists, vendors, mystics, laymen, fire dancers, and mavens that all come together in the spirit of putting forth the will-to-good-power. It’s not just the party or the music that so many people look forward to every year, but that feeling of a natural connection to the earth, to a softer wholeness that the fresh air, the ocean and mountains, and the history of the region presents. It does sound kinda corny and very hippie, doesn’t it? But that is what it comes down to. This is what I got from speaking with many of the guests and from interviewing many of the artists and performers. And I don’t think it’s corny at all. I think
