Showtek enlists Belinda and Nacho on ‘Una Mamacita’

Showtek is making their highly-anticipated return to the release radar with ‘Una Mamacita’, a new collaborative Latin-inspired track featuring the vocal talents of Belinda and Nacho.

The new single from the esteemed brother DJ duo follows their April-released tune ‘The Weekend‘ with Eva Shaw. Out now via Universal Music, ‘Una Mamacita‘ is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.

The fun, energetic track kicks off with soft, sensual Spanish lyrics. The first half of the single features a harmonious flowing vocal, courtesy of highly-renowned Mexican singer/songwriter Belinda. Famed Venezuelan singer Nacho‘s rich, textured voice quickly makes an entrance, flawlessly complementing Belinda’s melodious sonic performance. The latest to come from Showtek is audibly a slight pivot from the norm for the pair.

Exchanging hefty bass drops for more refined pop-leaning electronic dance music, this song is an exciting precedent for what’s to come musically from the duo in the near future.

The song has been a really fun process. We all met for the first time in the studio in Miami and were supposed to do a 3 hour session but we ended up recording until 5 in the morning.

When we left the studio we felt we had a smash record, you can really hear the good vibes in the song when you listen to it. As Showtek we always try to surprise people with what we do and we love the outcome of this song

Juggling tender harmonies and soothing melodies with warm vocals that ooze with heartfelt emotion, ‘Underwater‘ is exactly the kind of record that’s best enjoyed on infinite repeat mode.

Le Youth: “I spent a lot of time on ‘Underwater’, which went through a lot of different versions over the last two years. Not surprisingly, I ended up releasing the first version I ever did. I think it’s a great fit with ‘Other Voices’ musically, which is why we decided to release them together. I hope everyone will enjoy both!

Dutch DJ and producer genius Julian Jordan has been using the past couple of months to focus on his music and to bring his sound to the next level. His newest track ‘Boss’ is undeniably the fruit of all his hard work and discipline.

Not only is ‘Boss‘ the perfect example of Julian‘s characteristic sound, it also showcases the electro house side of his production scope. Voted number 1 DJ of 2020 in Beatport‘s Top 100 Electro House chart, Julian is proving that he has rightfully earned his spot and is there to stay.

Boss‘ starts off with a chime and a buzzing beat which are very characteristic of Jordan‘s productions. It then immediately accelerates, coupled with squelched synths, the beat quickly builds up to a bassline-filled drop. Never restraining himself, Julian decides to stir ‘Boss‘ in a different direction with a melodic bridge that develops into a second hard-hitting drop.

After being crowned number 1 DJ of the Beatport 2020 Electro House Top 100, and climbing 22 ranks in DJ Mag’s Top 100, placing at number 71, Julian Jordan wanted to thank his fans by releasing a state-of-the-art production. With new episodes of his YouTube series ‘It’s Julian Jordan‘ coming up and lots of new music ready to be released, Julian is not sitting still!

ADDAC System announces its new, long-awaited Eurorack module ADDAC403

ADDAC403 VC Time Signature Clock Sources

ADDAC System announces its new, long-awaited Eurorack module, ADDAC403 VC Time Signature Clock Sources. Featuring multiple sections for a combined total of (8) independent trigger outputs, the module presents many clocking possibilities for users — both conventional and unconventional.

ADDAC403 — available in January for €350 — is capable of producing standard time signature musical notation, but it is also possible to generate syncopation, irregular tempo ratios and phasing all at once — all in a single, straightforward unit.

The module features an extremely stable digital clock with over time drift compensation, adjustable to any BPM up to 1 decimal case (from 0.1 to 250.0 BPM). Also, there is a tap tempo button and pingable input for syncing to external clocks using either soft or hard sync modes.

In addition to comprehensive time signature and divider sections, a phasing section features a totally independent clock that can run in two modes: Tempo, running at a slower/faster BPM phasing in and out of tempo against the main clock; and Offset, which runs at the same BPM but offset and delayed against the main clock generating a steady syncopated beat.

Four modes allow different trigger and mute functionalities, which can run in a loop or in a ‘one shot’ mode. Among other features, a ‘Swing Delay‘ section allows delaying one beat at certain beat intervals, and a dedicated delay knob defines the delay in a fraction of one beat — also allowing the generation of syncopated beats.

Each section of the ADDAC403 features its own LED, and by default, the default display shows the current time signature status. By pressing the [SHOW/MENU] button, it will display each section setting in sequential order. All settings on the unit can be saved to a single memory slot, and upon startup the memory state will be automatically loaded. Further, all knobs and push buttons have their own dedicated CV/trigger inputs, except the [BPM] encoder and [SHOW/MENU] button.
