The dedicated fans of the festival have taken social media to vent out their thoughts and concerns with this years line up. Calling out to Diplo “Please don’t show up for movement fest @diplo,” one of the angry tweets reads.

I am sorry but you cannot diss one of the electronic music pioneers. Yes, he might not be a known for his techno known sound but let’s not forget that Diplo early careers started with House music.

Another angry tweeter calls out Diplo, Rezz, and Mija as “hacks.” Come on, let’s get on things straight very artist on this line up has dedicated time and effort and deserves the opportunity to perform without haters tweeting negative comments on Twitter.

Let’s face it there are multiple stages with a variety of artist playing at the same time. if you are not a fan, all you have to do is walk away. There’s plenty of people who are going to appreciate and enjoy all music.

Diplo is handling the criticism like a boss and is already stating he is bringing something fresh and funky.

ARTBAT

Showcasing their talent through a brand-new EP, Ukrainian DJ and producer duo ARTBAT, delivers three fresh tracks labelled ‘Planeta’, ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Sand in your shoes’ on Diynamic Music.

Taking the electronic dance music world by storm over the past few years, Ukrainian superstar DJ duo, ARTBAT have been on a mission to bring the sensational sounds of Ukrainian Techno and Tech-House to the rest of the world.

In February 2018, Artur and Batish aka ARTBAT are bringing their first full EP release to Solomun‘s well recognized label ‘Diynamic Music‘. The three-tracker “Planeta” starts off with the title track “Planeta”, a rapid-fire techno odyssey that might as well be taken from a relentless pursuit in a futuristic action movie.

This is followed by the gloomy bassline of “Prometheus”. Heavy on percussive elements, the track is divided in half by a cascading synth-break only to return with more layers of percussions, strings and the hypnotic bassline.

Closing off the EP is “Sand In Your Shoes” featuring London based artist Dino Lenny, who has previously worked with Madonna or Wu-Tang Clan and produced remixes for Underworld, Missy Elliot or Timbaland. The collab track is a dreamy Deep-House tune and a perfectly emotive way to finish the record.

ARTBAT ‘Planeta’ EP on Dyinamic Music

The key to ARTBAT’s success lies within their powerful and inventive sound of the highest quality. Their tracks have an impressive capacity to fuel both intimate dance floors and huge arenas with energy and drive. It’s for these very reasons why many renowned artists are attracted by Artbat’s music. Such dance music authorities like Solomun, Maceo Plex, and Richie Hawtin are now regularly spinning ARTBAT’s tracks during their sets.

ARTBAT are definitely a duo you want to keep in your radar if you’re into techno, tech-house and deep-house tracks. Take a listen to “Planeta” below:

Synchrony are armed and ready to take on 2018 with their 7 track EP ‘Project 1’ !

It’s no secret that Marabella’s electronic music jewel pull out all the stops each time they hit the studio and it continues to show through their onslaught of ear-splitting records. Proving to the world that their sonic mean streak didn’t end in 2017, the Spanish duo released their ‘Project 1 EP’, a seven-track package so powerful a nuclear warhead has got nothing on it.

From the opening track titled ‘Deeper Feelings‘, right through to the closing cut ‘Introspective‘ – Project 1 EP sets the bar for the Synchrony & due to pick up a plethora of global club & radio airwave love, in the weeks ahead.

Yves V & Florian Picasso unite for the feel-good vibe of ‘Here With You’

yves v

After an absolutely incredible 2017, Yves V gets his year off to a wild start by landing on KSHMR’s Dharma label with an amazing collaboration with Florian Picasso on ‘Here With You’.

Melancholy violins glide across the track as muted piano chords breathes it into life. Delicate male and female vocals trade blows, hyped up through stereo delays, bitcrushing and glitch effects, and out of nowhere comes a sudden build thrusting us into the meat of the track.

The meat in question takes the form of fist-pumping, feel-good fizzing synth chords, energetic beats and thick slabs of melodic bass and makes for a grin-inducing mood. Plucked arpeggios greet us in the break with rising on-beat bass tones building up the energy. The glorious vocal effects sound even more mesmerizing as the kick drops back in, leading us into a bruising snare build. The winding bass of the outro will leave you begging for more and hitting that repeat button.

With super-cool computer game / comic influenced artwork, this one is the whole package. It’s been going off in both Yves & Florian’s sets in a big way and looks set to become a staple of stereos and dancefloors the world over.

Listen to the track here.
