Vintage Culture shares remix of Bob Moses’ “Love Brand New”

GRAMMY® Award-winning duo Bob Moses share Brazilian producer/DJ Vintage Culture’s club-ready remix of their hit single “Love Brand New” and an accompanying visualizer. One of the most anthemic moments on the Los Angeles-based band’s recently released third album The Silence in Between (Domino Recording Company/Astralwerks), “Love Brand New” climbed to the #2 spot at Alternative Radio this week. 

In a striking departure from the original version of “Love Brand New” — a moody and mercurial track that’s cracked the top ten at AAA Radio and reached #11 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart — Vintage Culture’s high-energy remix strips away the band’s brooding guitar tones and accelerates the tempo to a thrilling velocity. Building to a wild intensity in its first minute, the remix then bursts into a dizzying explosion of pulsating beats and potent grooves — all while expertly preserving the song’s indelible melodies and raw emotion.

“Vintage Culture is a very talented gentleman, and we feel fortunate to be able to have him work his magic on of our tracks for a second time,” state Bob Moses, whose 2020 track “Desire” was remixed by Vintage Culture and Kiko Franco. “We look forward to dropping this banging mix in our Club Sets for the foreseeable future.”

Widely recognized as one of the most influential and creative forces of his generation in Brazil and beyond, Vintage Culture has also brought his talents to impressive remixes of the likes of Meduza, Moby, Diplo, David Guetta and Sia.

“The songs that Bob Moses write and record are inspiring and have an emotional impact on the audience”, says Vintage Culture. “I admire their talent and I’m very proud to lend my production skills to the new remix of ‘Love Brand New.’ I look forward to including this new classic in my shows through the Summer of 2022.”

Cellini arrives on Tomorrowland Music with his powerful track ‘Lose Yourself’

hello@walliannika.com

Italo-Belgian rising DJ and producer Cellini is delivering his very first release ‘Lose Yourself’, released through Tomorrowland Music.

Lose Yourself‘ comes in the shape of a sublime melodic blend between acoustic and electronic sounds – sometimes deep and emotional, yet sometimes powerful and ecstatic – with upcoming vocalist Amos‘ vocals as the cherry on the cake. This excellent track is a stunning example of Cellini‘s signature sound.

2022 is definitely Cellini‘s biggest year so far! The pasta and wine aficionado is joining the Tomorrowland Music family with his first release ‘Lose Yourself‘ and will also be performing at the first edition of the brand-new CORE Festival in the capital of Europe in May.

Set to make his debut on the legendary Mainstage of Tomorrowland this summer, as well as hosting his own ‘Cellini & Friends‘ stage at the mythical CORE stage tucked away in the enchanting forests of Tomorrowland, Cellini is the name to watch in the near future!

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

The track was built around a Kalimba loop. It literally started as a fun studio jam without the intention of going into a song structure. The drums were a natural layer and for once it felt good to not keep it 4 to the floor.

In the last phase Amos joined me in the studio and started improvising vocals on the track. In the end I selected a couple of verses from the very first take and started playing around with them. The track is completely based on intuition, sometimes everything falls together without extra takes or an extra production period.

Then, growling basslines follow the drop, only to find a moment for a small interlude creating a mysterious moment. This break for suspense, is supported by airy pads, and sonic textures that mark a moment in the song; to then have Becko take the lead again and guide the listener to the next part of the journey. ‘Artificial Tears’ features Becko’s vocals and its signature sound, mixed with arpeggiated synths as sonic layers that add a technologic/futuristic texture and vibe.

The song drops again and again to growling bass and glitching sounds that give the sensation of a glitch in the matrix. Energetic song that showcases Cyazon’s dexterous style that combines futuristic and dystopian aesthetics that builds a music world of its own with every release.

Over 300 artists across six stages in a lineup unmatched by anything else, this year’s festival is easily the largest electronic music festival in Northern Germany. The Main Stage lineup is packed with global superstars such as Kygo, Marshmello, DJ Snake, and Tiesto. Superstar DJs and producers Kygo and Marshmello will play their only German shows this year exclusively at AIRBEAT ONE. Another exclusive main stage act in the Neustadt-Glewe is the acclaimed trio ‘3 Are Legend‘, consisting of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Steve Aoki, who are all due to perform one of their extremely rare b2b sets.

An incredible 37 of this year’s total DJ Mag Top 100 DJs will be playing at AIRBEAT ONE.

After two years of the Corona enforced cancellation of AIRBEAT ONE, we were insanely looking forward to being able to celebrate a carefree festival without the fear of restrictions. Unfortunately, with the war in Ukraine, inflation, rising prices, and additional expenses, circumstances have arisen this year that make it difficult for many to celebrate carefree.

Therefore, we have talked to our sponsors, who have agreed to financially lower the tickets for the benefit of festival-goers and the festival itself. Therefore we are now able to lower the price of the 3-day festival tickets to a sensational 99.00 Euros, so that as many people as possible will be able to afford the small festival vacation in Neustadt-Glewe (and can party and experience incredible music for a few days, much like we did before the days of Corona and before the war)“ explains AIRBEAT ONE event manager Sebastian Eggert.

This price drop makes AIRBEAT ONE Festival 2022 one of, if not ‘the’ most affordable three-day festivals in Germany and across Europe. AIRBEAT ONE boasts a lineup that can only be matched by electronic music festivals such as Creamfields or Tomorrowland. And festival ticket value vs quality of performer will never be matched again. This ultimate state-of-the-art production of one of the ultimate super-festivals in Europe should not be missed by any music fan this summer.

3-day tickets for AIRBEAT ONE Festival, which takes place from July 6th to 10th at the Neustadt-Glewe airfield in Mecklenburg – Vorpommern, are available from 99.00 Euros at tickets.airbeat-one.de.

Pharoah Phonix is releasing their first ever compilation album Pharaoh’s Gold Vol 1

Thomas Xavier-founded label Pharoah Phonix is releasing their first ever compilation album Pharaoh’s Gold Vol 1. The compilation will feature 5 artists across 5 tracks, showcasing a diverse lineup of rising talent covering a wide spectrum of house genres.

The endeavor symbolizes the biggest projects the label has ever pursued. Considering the past success of Thomas Xavier and all past Pharoah Phonix releases previous to this, the momentum is shaping up beautifully for the first installment of this compilation.

Diving into each song, Thomas Xavier takes the lead with the first track via “I’m A Boss.” The single saturates the listener with thick basslines and a four-on-the-floor rhythm. Featuring a shredding synth effect within the drop, aspects of dark house, bass house, and tech house collide to make this experience one that wins.

black a.m. and Thomas Xavier team up on the next one with “Say You Got Me.” The tune turns down the energy just a tad and amps the spirituality and sophistication parameter. The result is a near-all instrumental vibe that’s as alluring as it is hypnotizing. The melody in the bassline and crisp percussion examples are like icing on the cake as you are brought into a world that merges the two styles of these talents beautifully.

Chomper isn’t afraid to get in your face with “Up All Night.” Oozing with upbeat energy and feisty personality, the track keeps you on your toes. A highly technical house tune from tip to tail, there’s tons of surprises around the corner with this one. Snap moments of silence, tons of diverse effects, and a sensual well-sampled topline are what packages this single up nicely to be one easy to repeat listen.

St.Sinny drops what could be the most haunting and alluring of them all. “H.E.R.,” brights listeners to a technocracy of sorts. The vibes going on sonically here trigger a mental visual of a dystopian realm where you are the hero. Trippy effects and punchy mixing/mastering are just 1 part of a greater essence that makes this track stick.

A somewhat surprising combination closes out the experience with heavy-handed bass artists Elevatd and Thomas Xavier colliding two different perspectives to capture one epically filthy experience. “P&B,” is the name and isn’t for the faint of heart in the least, showering well-designed intensity with a thick house drum kit and elongated rhythm effects that shoot adrenaline throughout the body.

Thomas Xavier is a house artist based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with an incredible hustle. He launched the original music side of career 12 months ago. Within this time period, he has clocked in nearly 1 million plays across his streaming platforms, support from some of the top outlets in the world like Dancing Astronaut and YourEDM (multiple times over), and has founded his own label: Pharaoh Phonix. On top of this he has a returned event showcase he hosts in Milwaukee titled Pharaoh’s Chamber, which continues to achieve more success in its own right. He’s outdone himself once again with Pharaoh Phonix Compilation, cultivating a community around music, shows, and a label – all of which are steadily growing in popularity.

Marco V sets the bar with a brand new Vision 20/20 release FE/AR

The ‘FE/AR’ factor is real with this one when master arena manipulator Marco V starts winding up another one of his legendary tech-programmed bangers.

The urge is there to blast the place into tiny pieces; however, once he’s fired a synth riff the size of a super collider into the night, the track takes on a different, melodious, more optimistic tone for trance devotees to latch onto.

Absolutely scintillating when his chord changes become a sign of peace and love, it’s Marco V at his absolute best.

From now on, Michael Kronenberger will continue as Milk & Sugar on his own, as well as overseeing the record label Milk & Sugar Recordings and their extensive back catalog.

After more than 20 years together Milk & Sugar are continuing, with Steffen Harning leaving the act.

Since the 1990s, Milk & Sugar have spawned hits like “Let The Sun Shine,” an adaptation of 5th Dimension’s 1969 classic that became a Milk & Sugar musical milestone. Initially only a hit in Ibiza, the track made it to number 1 on the US Billboard Dance chart and the top 20 in the UK pop chart. The single “Hey (Nah Neh Nah)” was certified five times gold and reached the top 10 in ten countries. “Canto Del Pilón“, “Stay Around” and “My Lovin” (featuring house icon Barbara Tucker) also reached the top Sales charts in several countries and are still present in the sets of many DJs.

Paris, Tokyo, Madrid, Hong Kong, Ibiza or Rio – in the last two decades, Munich’s Milk & Sugar have played in every big party and festival in the world. They have received numerous awards too, including the German and Italian DJ Awards and the German Dance Award for best independent label.

Here’s what Michael Kronenberger had to say: “I would like to thank Steffen Harning not only for the many years of cooperation, but above all for the close friendship that has always connected us. We have created great things. I wish him the best of luck and success in his future endeavours.

At the same time, I’m looking forward to an exciting new chapter for Milk & Sugar, the upcoming performances in a new formation and the new music titles that will be released soon.

In the future, a guest singer will join forces at the live performances to perform the new Milk & Sugar songs.”

The new Milk & Sugar single “Riding High” will be released on June 3rd and will be performed live for the first time on June 4th at the BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME in Frankfurt.
