&ME Drops Official Remix of WhoMadeWho & Rampa – UUUU

On April 29, following almost a year of international hearsay and speculation, celebrated Danish live act WhoMadeWho unveiled the details and upcoming release date of their seventh full-length studio album UUUU. A thirteen-track opus set for release on May 27 via German imprint Embassy One, the album announcement was marked by the release of the huge collaborative album title track with Rampa – UUUU.

Now, with the release of the band’s long player just a fortnight away, WhoMadeWho unleash one final pre-album gift, as they enlist Berlin-based producer and Keinemusik co-founder &ME to provide his own resplendent interpretation of the ethereal six-minute album single.

One of the most in-demand artists in electronic music today, there are very few producers on the circuit who can lay claim to such an abundant slew of dancefloor juggernauts as &ME. The man behind tracks including Muyé, Discoteca, The Rapture Pt.II and perhaps most notably his 2019 remix of Guy Gerber’s What To Do, the past few years has also seen &ME help spearhead the huge international success of the Keinemusik collective, alongside esteemed label mates Rampa, Adam Port and Reznik.

Delivering a beautifully nuanced underground house cut, awash with luscious analogue textures, restrained rhythms and a blissful groove that bolsters the record across its duration, &ME’s remix is an absolute masterclass from the off; its pulsating heartbeat and teasing builds sweeping and soaring with intense delight. Subtle yet immense, the remix is produced with the poise and elegance of an artist who has been captivating minds with his music for over fifteen years – an artist whose ability to link innovative production with consensual reception making him one of the most unique and original figures in the game.

In the years since their inception WhoMadeWho have established themselves as one of the definitive underground bands of their generation, renowned for their exceptional grasp of emotional depth, heartrending melody and inspired song writing.

The group, comprised of Tomas Høffding, Tomas Barfod and Jeppe Kjellberg, inject consummate professionalism into standout performances all over the globe, from Roskilde to Sonar, Melt! to Burning Man and have produced seven albums and a plethora of EPs, singles and remixes on labels like Kompakt, Innervisions, Life & Death.

With Barfod’s penchant for electronic music poetically juxtaposed with Høffding and Kjellberg’s respective backgrounds in rock and jazz, their music is an electrifying combination of sounds, merging a variety of influences to produce a unique sonic fingerprint that is emotive, irresistible and immensely satisfying.

The Martinez Brothers, Gordo & Rema link up on new single ‘Rizzla’

The Martinez Brothers have joined forces with dance music phenomenon Gordo and Nigerian talent Rema on new single ‘Rizzla’. Underpinned by a skippy 2-step beat, ‘Rizzla’ combines the infectious dancefloor stylings of UKG with Rema’s slick, instantly-recognisable vocals.

The track will feature on The Martinez Brother‘s forthcoming EP, with the duo also set to embark on their first ever headline Ibiza residency at White Isle hotspot Hï ibiza, taking over the venue every Tuesday from 14th June through to 27th September, with the likes of Paco Osuna, Loco Dice, Kerri Chandler, Marco Carola and Honey Dijon just some of the artists that will be joining them throughout.

“During the Pandemic, us and Gordo made a bunch of music, one of them being Rizzla.” The brothers explained. “It’s a special one because it bridges so many different parts of the world while at the same time crossing genres. We have utmost respect for Rema as an artist and to have him on this straight up club jam is insane.” – The Martinez Brothers

Two of the most consistent and recognisable names in the world of house and techno, The Martinez Brothers were introduced to disco and house music by their father from a young age. While known for producing lean and effective club records, from their break out ‘H2 Da Izzo‘ in 2012 to their 2019 ‘SaintLaurentYSL‘ remix, their 2020 foray into Latin pop with Rauw Alejandro, Zion & Lennox and Mr. Naisgai on ‘Química‘ shows their capacity to navigate effortlessly between underground and pop. Their most recent release saw them remix the Teddy Pendergrass classic ‘The More I Get, The More I Want‘.

Guatemalan dance icon Diamanté Blackmon is once again defining a musical movement with his new house music alias; Gordo. Previously known as Carnage, Gordo made an instant mark on the scene last year with ‘KTM‘, the project’s debut single which became an instant ‘Top 10’ hit on the Beatport Main Chart. He has since dropped two more similarly well-received singles ‘EENIE WEENIE‘ and ‘TARAKA‘ and is ramping up for the summer with many gigs and releases to come.

Bursting onto the scene with breakthrough hits ‘Iron Man‘ and ‘Dumebi‘, Rema is one of the most in-demand artists around, receiving BET Awards nominations and having his music included on the FIFA 21 soundtrack. He released his debut album Rave & Roses in March, a 16-track release that features the likes of 6lack, Chris Brown, AJ Tracey and Yseult.

Sander van Doorn

Internationally-renowned DJ/producer Sander van Doorn returns to the release radar under his Purple Haze moniker with his latest thumping original production ‘Horizons’.

The talent’s new track follows up a slew of highly successful singles under the alias such as last year’s ‘Manoeuvres‘, ‘Recover‘, and ‘Faces‘, in addition to serving as a follow-up to Sander‘s ‘Breakfast In Vegas‘ from the tail end of this February. Out now via Armind, ‘Horizons‘ is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.

The floor-shattering melodic techno offering is wholly anthemic in nature, providing a larger-than-life ambiance throughout its entirety. Beginning with a propelling bass and flowing rhythm, the atmospheric opus sets the stage for an eventual slower pace.

An enticing vocal enters the sonic space shortly after, instilling the tune with lyricism replete with a sense of optimism and hope. The high octane sensibilities pick back up, taking the listener on a journey of sound quite unlike anything heard before it. An ambient flair, shimmering soundscapes, and heady tone round out the rest of the enthralling release, in turn producing quintessential Purple Haze listening material.

Eats Everything & Shermanology link up on new track ‘Tell You What It Is’

By
Metodi Gogovski
-

House and techno titan Eats Everything also known as Dan Pearce has joined forces with Caribbean duo Shermanology on new single ‘Tell You What It Is’, out 13th May.

Capturing the essence of house music, ‘Tell You What It Is’ combines euphoric gospel-like vocals, rousing organ chords and a pulsating bassline – an irresistible combination that’s simply made for the dancefloor. Eats Everything and Shermanology’s first single release of the new year will launch as Danny Howard’s ‘Hottest Record’ on Radio 1, and precedes shows at Amnesia Ibiza, Creamfields South, Parklife and Love Saves The Day in his native Bristol.

“This is new territory for me,” Dan explains. “Working with full choirs, vocalists and instrumentalists is something I’ve never really done before so it’s out of my comfort zone making proper ‘songs’. The lockdown period gave me a lot of time to reflect, experiment and create and this record (along with the others coming) are a product of that time of experimentation. I really hope that people are into it!”

Shermanology add: “It was so dope working with Dan aka Eats Everything on this project. For us to be able to blend both our sounds feels great. We went in the studio with a choir consisting of family and friends, which makes it even more special for us.”

Dan invited Shermanology to join him on his 10 years of Eats Everything tour to play in his hometown at Lakota and their friendship blossomed. Shermanology also are set to release forthcoming music on Dan’s Edible label which he is really excited about.

A contemporary UK electronic music institution, Eats Everything has a global reputation built on versatility, superlative skills and a positive outlook: core fundamentals that have made him one of the most in-demand artists around. With his roots firmly embedded in the vibrant, influential music culture of his hometown, Bristol, Dan channels his broad musical palette into every aspect of his output.

Curaçao-born, Netherlands-based brother-sister duo Shermanology have spent the last five years refining their dynamic blend of soul-infused tech house, donning the edge and energy of their Caribbean and Dutch roots to give the dancefloors and airwaves a kick that has otherwise been missing in electronic music. More recently they received global acclaim on the 2021 hit ‘Boyz N Da Club’ which amassed over 5.6 million Spotify streams and was supported by BBC Radio 1. They also teamed up with FISHER to release the slamming ‘It’s A Killa’ on his Catch & Release label.

His first time working with choirs and vocalists, ‘Tell You What It Is’ sees Eats Everything add yet another string to his already-sizable bow.

Fans who donate their blood and save lives can get free access or discounts for the Romanian music festivals, UNTOLD & Neversea.

The best place to donate blood is in the land of Dracula, in Transylvania, Romania. The festival-goers can donate blood to save lives, and they will receive a free pass or discounts for one of the biggest music festivals in the world, UNTOLD. Fans can also pay with blood their entrance at Neversea Festival, the largest beach festival in Europe in Constanța, Romania.

Blood Network, the longest-running donating blood campaign in Romania, initiated by the organizers of UNTOLD and Neversea, is once again waiting for the heroes to save lives and then enjoy unforgettable experiences at two of the biggest music festivals in the world. It is the 8th edition of The Blood Network campaign, and it will run from May 14 to July 3 in all the blood transfusion centers in Romania and a mobile caravan. The need for blood to save lives persists in hospitals across the country. There are needed 500,000 units of blood annually.

The idea of the Blood Network campaign is to encourage people to donate their blood. This way, donors can pay for their entrance to UNTOLD Festival or Neversea. Each year more and more people are making this kind gesture, and now there are thousands of donors in the Blood Network and thousands of lives saved.

Those who donate blood in the mobile caravan have free access to UNTOLD Festival or Neversea Festival. They also receive shopping vouchers. The CSR campaign started in 2015 with UNTOLD Festival, and since then, each year, the organizers have added new cities for the mobile caravan and the Neversea Festival, which was born in 2017. Today,  12 big cities in Romania are included in this campaign.

Fans who donate blood in the transfusion centers in Romania receive a discount voucher for tickets at UNTOLD Festival or Neversea Festival (up to 70 euros savings).

Here’s what Edy Chereji, Director of Communication UNTOLD Festival & Neversea Festival had to say about the campaign:

“We are continuing the longest-running blood donation campaign in Romania. Together with our traditional partners, doctors, and, last but not least, beautiful people who donate blood, we save lives! And because this year we are also enjoying a return to life, to festivals without restrictions, we are raising the campaign’s stakes.

All those who donate blood in the mobile caravan will receive full passes to UNTOLD and Neversea this year and not only a one-day ticket. We thank all those who will make an effort to break their time to donate blood. A small effort, but with enormous importance!“
