Following her heart-warming original Who You Are in September, Swiss-South African artist Nora En Pure returns to Enormous Tunes with two soul-stirring offerings, Arbora and Illusions.

Musing over her 2022 original, Forsaken Dream, Arbora serves as an answer to its predecessor. Life is a journey filled with unexpected twists, and sometimes moments of strength occur when you least expect them.

In those instances, when everything seems to fall into place, the door to revive forgotten dreams opens just enough to reignite our imagination and motivation. They inspire us to follow the path towards what we originally deemed impossible, and recognize that we can accomplish whatever we set our minds to. Arbora is about making that decision, and taking the path that seemed too difficult to follow.

Inspired by landscapes and moments of calm during her touring break, Illusions sets a sentimental tone from the very first note. Employing classical elements and euphoric sounds, Nora En Pure crafts a captivating arrangement that embodies the essence of her unique artistry. Illusions will be available on Spotify on November 3, 2023. Tried and tested in her shows over the past few months, both creations formed an instant connection with audiences in her sets around the globe.

With every release, Nora En Pure‘s music speaks to the soul of her audience, making her an artist who truly stands out in the world of electronic music. Marking a new step with her label Purified Records, the imprint has announced a long-term partnership with renowned underwater photographer Daniel Nicholson and action platform for the planet, OnlyOne. All forthcoming release artwork will showcase Daniel’s masterful photography, combined with OnlyOne’s informative data.

The project aims to draw attention to our oceans, while fostering a greater awareness and knowledge about these remarkable underwater realms. For more information on upcoming projects and news, make sure to follow Nora En Pure on socials, and BandsInTown for upcoming tour dates.

Parisian house phenomenon Martin Solveig is back with his hotly anticipated new album Back To Life, out now via POSITIVA/EMI.

His first LP since 2011, Back To Life was worth the wait: jam-packed with unforgettable melodies, zesty productions and talented collaborators, this is a life-affirming new sound from Martin Solveig.

Album opener and latest single ‘I Don’t Wanna Work’ pairs a classic Solveig disco groove with the infectious vocal hooks of Stefflon Don, and ‘Coffee at Tiffany’s’ maintains the party vibe with Raphaella’s sweet melodies over funk bass.

‘Lost’ strips back the groove for a more reflective and heartfelt moment, while ‘Bite Size’ with Ina Wroldsen is a piano ballad set to a disco stomp.

Martin Solveig – Back To Life

Album centerpiece and lead single ‘Allo Allo’ once again looks to Raphaella for an earworm hook that lives long in the memory, followed by the cool downtempo strut of ‘After Midnight’ with MNDR. ‘Now Or Never’ is a rousing, emotional banger featuring a soaring lead vocal from in-demand singer-songwriter Faouzia. Capping off the album, ‘Confettis & Rain’ closes out on a beautifully melancholic piano-driven ballad.

After over a decade, the wait is over: Martin Solveig has released a new full-length album, and it doesn’t disappoint.

Öwnboss and Outflux team up on ‘Preacher’, released on Tomorrowland Music

By
Metodi Gogovski

Brazilian superstar Öwnboss has teamed up with fellow Brazilian DJ & producer Outflux on their sexy house anthem ‘Preacher’, released on Tomorrowland Music! ‘Preacher’ is infused with Öwnboss’ signature bass house groove and lush vocals by the Los Angeles-based vocalist No/Me, immediately bringing a fresh vibe, sounding catchy as hell as it keeps moving on tasty bass lines and synth-heavy chords.

‘Preacher‘ by Öwnboss & Outflux is part of a collection of specially curated festival releases by Tomorrowland Music leading up to Tomorrowland Brasil, celebrating the return of Tomorrowland to Brazil on October 12-14, 2023 by gathering some of the most prominent artists in electronic music on Tomorrowland‘s record imprint.

Here’s what Öwnboss had to say about the release:

“I’ve been working with Outflux for years, he’s a talented Brazilian producer who became a friend. So, we are always talking and ‘Preacher’ caught my attention from the beginning. When I heard it for the first time, it was already great. The vocals of the super talented and hit maker No/Me were incredible and I knew I could add a lot in terms of production.

From then on, we adjusted the project and got in touch with Tomorrowland Music as we knew it would fit perfectly with the label. ​The production of ‘Preacher’ was challenging. How to musicalize a song with such a sonorous, pure and striking vocal? Our job, then, was not to fight with it, but cooperate and join efforts. In other words, we looked for a production that worked in favor of the track’s vocals, so that it was the protagonist; where the melodic progression and synths were present, important and catchy, but that didn’t never steal the spotlight from the voice. So we made the entire song based on the vocals and the synth drop, which in my opinion is the highlight of this song.”

Speaking about the release Outflux said: “We wanted the drop to sound powerful, but catchy, so we decided to use a unique type of sound for the main lead. We went after something that sounded cool, but also different, and that’s when we came up with this heavily distorted lo-fi type of sound. We used No/Me’s vocals a lot for the ear candies, we re-pitched a couple of ad libs, made some weird sounding stuff, and made it fit into the drop. The final result turned out awesome.”

Charlotte de Witte Unveils Highly-Anticipated EP, “Power Of Thought” on KNTXT

By

-

Techno phenomenon Charlotte de Witte unveils her brand-new EP “Power Of Thought”, out now on her own KNTXT label.

The trio begins with the title track “Power Of Thought” – which immediately erupts into a hypnotic techno beat interspersed with spoken mantras of mindfulness. This is followed by “Pria”, a pulsating journey featuring hypnotic, mantra-like vocals.

The EP ends with the ambient track “Abada”, punctuated with the occasional drum and chanting vocals before it quickly strips away to silence.

Charlotte de Witte – Power Of Thought EP

“For ‘Power Of Thought’, I wanted to create an EP that touches deeper emotions and captivates the meditative trance you have when you let go on the dance floor,” says de Witte.

“‘Pria’ has already brought me a lot of joy over the last few months when I have played it during my sets. It offers a moment of reflection and a chance to catch your breath during the rougher, more peak-time tracks I play.

‘Abada’ is a track that I really enjoyed making. I discovered these magical chanting vocals and I just knew I wanted to use them in a track. Though this track is maybe less playable in one of my sets, I feel that Abada found its home on this EP and completes the ‘Power Of Thought’ circle” she adds.

Best known for her “dark and stripped-back” brand of techno and crossover to other sounds of the underground, Charlotte de Witte pushes the boundaries of the electronic genre with music that has a distinct and unforgettable sound that is uniquely her own. De Witte’s innovative ability allows her to seamlessly blend genres and styles that have won her a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim.

“Power Of Thought” is the follow-up EP to de Witte’s “Overdrive” EP, campaign and tour, which recently wrapped with a Los Angeles takeover last month and included performances at Brooklyn Mirage, Primavera Sound, Rock Werchter, Super Bock Super Rock, Lowlands, and Rock En Seine.

The “Power Of Thought” release will include an exclusive apparel drop as well and will coincide with the opening day of KNTXT Turbo Club, de Witte’s epic 3-day pop-up event series taking over Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) from October 19 – 21, 2023.

With a different “KNTXT” each day, the turbo-charged pop-up will feature a massive lineup of performances, a dedicated KNTXT shop, immersive music experiences, and other surprises at an undisclosed location in Amsterdam. Capacity will be very limited and tickets can be purchased HERE!
