Feenixpawl teams up with Crooked Bangs on emotive new track ‘First Light’

Feenixpawl

Australian duo Feenixpawl are back with another monster single in the form of ‘First Light’, just in time for the beginning of the festival season. A moody progressive-leaning track, it features haunting vocals from PollyAnna’s ‘digital avatar and virtual artist project’ Crooked Bangs.

Taut bass pulses under a driving house beat and monotone synth tones in the intro before we reach the first heavenly breakdown. The processed vocals of Crooked Bangs blend the emotional with the robotic in beguiling effect, with a tinge of Grimes in her style.

A soaring trancey build up lifts the track into overdrive, thrusting us into the drop where the catchy chorus glides over the big room groove. The extended main break lays on gorgeous chime chords and a cinematic feel, giving the drop maximum impact once it returns.

Loved by everyone from Pete Tong to Axwell, Feenixpawl go from strength to strength with every new release. They’ve remixed the likes of Rihanna, Nervo, Jess Glynne and Kaskade, hit the #1 spot on the Beatport Trance Chart, received GRAMMY and ARIA award nominations and topped 4 billion streams to date. Crooked Bangs makes for a perfect accompaniment for their atmospheric style, herself with over half a billion streams to her name including many infectious dance hits.

Ben Gold drops Ibiza-inspired Sophomore Album: ‘Rest Of Our Lives’

It’s been an incredible ride since Ben Gold embarked on his musical journey well over a decade-and-a-half ago. Over the course of his career so far, the London-born, Amsterdam-based DJ and producer released over a hundred singles, remixes and collaborations, created the anthem for A State Of Trance 750 and solidified his position as one of trance music’s premier tastemakers with his two-part debut album, ‘Sound Advice’ (2018/2019).

And now, after spending a month on Ibiza to draw inspiration from precious memories and new stimuli, the internationally renowned artist captures the full extent of his artistry within his sophomore album: ‘Rest Of Our Lives‘.

From energetic and emotional bangers to Balearic evocations, progressive productions and even downtempo, trance-minded piano pieces, ‘Rest Of Our Lives‘ is a remarkably diverse ten-track offering that draws from Ben‘s personal experiences and the memories he made on the island of Ibiza, all through broad-appeal tracks such as ‘Xtravaganza‘, ‘Nostalgia‘, ‘Same Sky Same Stars‘ (with Plumb) and its official title track.

There’s no doubt that Ben Gold‘s sophomore album has something for every trance fan, and that listeners will be content keeping this body of work on repeat for a long time to come.

The vision for the project was to write an album that was a true reflection of who I am as an artist and where I am in my life journey”, Ben Gold says.

“As life evolved, the album evolved with it, but it always retained its melodic, uplifting and energetic identity. I hope that anyone who listens to this album will feel that, whether they are old or new fans. And I hope it inspires them as well, since that’s what personally attracts me to an artist or song.

Jamie Jones returns to Los Angeles with his Paradise In The Park event

Jamie Jones’ series Paradise has become internationally renown for embodying the spirit of Ibiza parties. He returns to Pershing Square one last time before the park closes for renovations. A rare Dubfire back-to-back Art Department, Carlita’s soulful sundown soundtrack, DJ Holographic’s Detroit tech house and a hypnotic closing set by Airrica make for a fond farewell.

Jamie Jones presents Paradise In The Park is the biggest baddest block party we are part of. Taking over Pershing Square park’s iconic open air city center for the final time before it goes into hibernation for years long construction.

Jamie Jones is a world renowned DJ, producer, label boss of Hot Creations, founder and curator of the Paradise global event series and member of cross-genre band Hot Natured. Over the last decade Jamie Jones has pioneered his own distinct sound that has paved the way for a warmer, more melodic side of techno.

It was DJs Can Dance – the East London warehouse parties he threw in the mid 00’s – that helped him make his mark on the capital, while the countless summers spent playing in Ibiza solidified him as an integral cog in the island’s music scene.

Wanting to offer something different to the Ibiza party circuit and inspired by Larry Levan’s legendary Paradise Garage parties in New York, he set out to create a party that was eclectic, creative with an intimate family feel. Now he’s bringing a little bit of Paradise to every corner of the globe with parties landing in cities like Miami, New York, LA, Moscow and Toronto.

To date, Jamie’s label Hot Creations has put out over 185 releases and has helped launch the careers of numerous artists such as Patrick Topping, Richy Ahmed and Detlef, who also make up part of the loyal Paradise family Jamie has built around him.
