The Galaxy and Kage team up for a powerful new track ‘Get Crunk’

Dancefloors of 2022, there’s venom in the air: The Galaxy and Kage team up as dastardly dancefloor instructors on Be Yourself Music, wanting clubbers to sweat bullets for a rocky bass ride, hellbent on making you earn bruises as a badge of honour.

Get Crunk’ might be a signal for getting loose and letting it all hang out in other genres: here, this house/techno-edged hard rock is not so charitable, particularly when its synth-lead intermissions grunt and take aim like a raging bull. Tough with a capital T, ‘Get Crunk’ is elastic enough to slingshot its way across arenas and leave you seeing stars.

Now tooled up with dark side sounds after the Big & Dirty beast of ‘Wicked’ last year, The Galaxy continues to hop from playlist to playlist having sent the Balearica of ‘Bulletproof’ dipping over the horizon. The previous two-man version of The Galaxy became a big deal on the Barong Family record label, owned by Mad Decent/Roc Nation noisemakers Yellow Claw, and earned rave reviews at the Tomorrowland and Mysteryland festivals via the regular rocking of crowds across Asia.

As a solo act expressing himself on the mic as well as the decks, The Galaxy’s ‘Hero’ track became sought after across the country, and the self-titled sequel chalked up over a million streams on Spotify.

‘Rise from the shadows’ – that’s the slogan Kage works to, and one that Porter Robinson, Oliver Heldens and Martin Garrix have taken notice of. Most at home when raw bass is at his fingertips, Kage’s relatively young career has already sent ‘The Raid’ and ‘Confused’ into the sacred realms of one million-plus streams of Spotify, with Night Bass, IN/ROTATION and Riotville leading the labels that have picked the lock to his brand of uneasy listening and cut-throat club sounds.

Grit your teeth, stomp your feet and ‘Get Crunk’ – The Galaxy and Kage have all the horsepower you need.

soundslikeLANG releases his debut EP “Midnight and the City”

Los Angeles electronic-based artist, DJ and producer soundslikeLANG releases his debut EP “Midnight and the City”, capturing his die-hard fanbase with incredible emotive-house sounds, invigorating listeners’ nostalgia.

With groovy elements driving an overall atmospheric vibe, soundslikeLANG brings you on a fresh adventure through his ultra-creative mind.

Reminiscent of Electronic Artists like Odesza, RUFUS DU SOL, Bonobo and Lane 8; the EP offers emotive soundscape, insatiable & blissful deep synths, all building up to thrilling drops that will have listeners eager to hit the dance floor with good company. Produced entirely by himself, “Midnight and the City” EP evokes the feelings of freedom within the unlimited boundaries of electronic music.

I always loved music as a kid, and music started way earlier for me at a young age. My father and I used to listen to Tom Petty records in his ‘93 Mercury Capri, and I still have that tape today. That record changed my life. I used to take my mom’s tape recorder, and she used to sing in church, and she would use the tape recorder to record herself during choir practices.

The first time I recorded anything was on that tape recorder where I played that Tom Petty tape, while singing the entire tape from front to back over the audio coming from our home tape player boombox. I recorded over my mom’s choir practice tape, and I still have yet to live it down to this day.

All my friends were in a band, and I wanted to join the band. My friend Niall’s stepfather had a guitar, and I would noodle along to my friend Niall’s’ nonsense. I would go to Niall’s house and would go right to that guitar. I convinced my parents to end up buying a guitar and they ended up getting me a fender telecaster.

I learned a lot of my chops from my friend Jake, whose father was Bob Lanza, an East Coast Hall of Fame Blues Player. I saw Jake and his father play an Allman Brother’s track at a local watering hole, and I saw the connection between music through both of their guitars and the relationship between father and son connecting through something that connects us all: music.”

Before his photography & videography career, he was a professional inline skater, traveling the world and performing at festivals and venues where he thought “I’ll be performing here in a different capacity one day.” Now is that time for soundslikeLANG. In 2014 that career came to an end, where he sustained a traumatic brain injury that left him with an 80% chance of mortality. The repercussions of his brain injury left him with a serious case of tinnitus.

To overcome these obstacles, he spent his time in recovery, rehabilitating his mind, body, and soul with the guitar, which eventually helped the symptoms of tinnitus subside. This is where he found the ultimate healing power of music, through listening and producing it.

Although “Midnight and the City” is the debut EP for soundslikeLANG, his exposure to the music industry has been carried through his passion for photography and videography for notable names. Having worked with Justin Bieber, Poo Bear, The Game, Post Malone, B.O.B., Kelly Rowland. And outside of music he has worked with legends James Cameron on “Avatar”, Aaron Paul, Bryan Cranston, the Kardashians, Olivia Culpo, Russell Westbrook, and many more.

These music and industry connections inspired him to pick back up his passion for music, leading to a breakthrough realization during quarantine to start up his solo project “soundslikeLANG”.

In 2022, fans can expect performances, both locally in Los Angeles and nationwide with exciting new collaborations and a string of single releases leading into his next EP, recently teased at his sold-out release party.

Whether he is out with a camera or producing in the studio, soundslikeLANG has been able to break the music industry through God given talents which the world is now able to see through his music.

4B is Back With Another Version of His Beloved “Jersey Club Power Set.”

4B is back with another version of his beloved “Jersey Club Power Set.” As expected, the mix is filled to the brim with his eclectic spin on the genre, incorporating countless popular songs from past and modern times all blended in seamlessly with that signature bounce and rhythm.

Jersey Club is already an innately catchy genre on it’s own, but 4B knows how to spice it up in his own way that gives it a level of immersion and wide appeal.

4B has wasted no time in 2022 when it comes to presence and activity. His tour scheduled is impressive in length in stature, the DJ/producer playing some of most prominent clubs in Las Vegas to Ultra Miami.

The man is riding high as he continues to make his status as an upper-echelon electronic musician who brings the goods each and every time.

Nicole Moudaber launches new monthly mix series exclusively for Apple Music

Techno queen Nicole Moudaber has just launched a brand-new monthly mix series exclusively for Apple Music.

Already reigning the airwaves with her beloved ‘In The MOOD‘ radio show, Moudaber‘s new mix series will see the sought-after DJ record an exclusive mix for the innovative music platform. Each month will feature a different ‘In The MOOD for’ theme, with the first episode released in celebration of International Women’s Day, featuring music from the likes of Sofia Kourtesis, Desire, Gina Breeze Charly Schaller and Ela Minus.

A staunch advocate for women’s rights, Nicole was the first DJ to champion the International Women’s Day mix, and this month sees Moudaber drop not one but two specials to celebrate female empowerment.

In addition to her Apple Music mix, Nicole has put together an IWD edition of her ‘In The MOOD‘ radio show, comprised solely of female artists, all requested by her fans. This year’s show includes tracks from a diverse range of artists such as Janet Jackson, Laurie Anderson, Ella Fitzgerald, K Hand and Qrion.

This year I decided to do two IWD mixes. One I curated and can be heard on my brand new In the MOOD mix series exclusively for Apple Music. The second mix was chosen entirely by requests from in the MOOD listeners from around the world. Artists in the mix include icons such as Laurie Anderson, Janet Jackson and K-Hand to newer artists from Shindo to Qrion” says Nicole Moudaber.

With this latest announcement, Nicole joins only a handful of other artists that have been handpicked for their own Apple Music show, once again cementing her position as one of the most influential names in the techno community. Currently preparing for another edition of her world famous ‘In The Mood‘ party concept set to take place at Factory Town, Miami, later this month, the globally-adored producer’s continually evolving and expanding MOOD empire proves her a force to be reckoned with.
