Swiss DJ/Producer Silvio1976 shares his brand new single Hide And Seek, a hypnotic piece of Deep/Progressive House music! What I like the most about this song is its infectious driving beat and how those vocals are packed with emotion and soul. I am very fond of the contrast between the soothing male vocals and the dulcet, distorted vocals which effortlessly infuse the song with a memorable touch of soul while making it perfect to sing along to. Apart from the vocals and infectious driving beat, I am particularly fond of the expansive synths, groovy rhythms and killer House piano keys that…
OTHEOSE, the project of Canadian artist Kevin Krouglow, shares his brand new single No Answers Given, the second single to be taken from his upcoming album Continental Drift. Written, performed, produced, mixed and mastered by OTHEOSE himself, No Answers Given finds the talented artist blending synthpop with brooding electro-pop textures with his smooth, expressive vocals, creating a layered and emotionally-charged listening experience. No Answers Given is a song about the need to understand something — about yourself or someone else — but being met with silence, both externally and within. I am also enjoying the hypnotic rhythms and how they are…
Belgian artist Aqua Riyaz shares his brand new single Hush (Baby), a heartfelt alt-pop gem out now via HUTCHKY. Taken from his upcoming debut EP, Hush (Baby) is a confrontational track about a once-admired figure — smart, charming, beloved — whose hidden struggles and cruelty eventually led to their downfall. He sings about the pain caused by this person, acknowledging the abuse and hate they projected. In the end, the balance shifts, and karma takes over, bringing that once-praised person “falling to the ground”. A relatable storytelling flawlessly conveyed through Riyaz’s gorgeous, expressive vocals which are accompanied by cinematic strings seamlessly…

A haunting folk sound with resolute perspectives on moving on from a relationship’s demise, “Parabellum” is a new single from Atlanta-based artist Maria Deirisarri. Florida-based artist Corey Kilgannon also adds his talents, contributing musically as well as producing the track, in addition to production work from Jacob Hudson. The enthralling “Parabellum” draws its influence from Deirisarri’s sudden and painful split from a former beloved, serving as a tactful confrontation with a striking message: take what you desire, but prepare for the repercussions. “Parabellum” consumes right away. “Let me go to the ocean,” Deirisarri’s stirring vocals let out, accompanied by quaint…
