Swedish So&Such signed bass talent Elgus is sharing his last work of 2017. A deliciously twisted edit on Bruno Mars’ 2016 single ‘Finesse’. For reference, the list of the producer’s best known work yet includes saucy original tracks like ‘Faith‘, ‘Time Traveler‘ and ‘Blue Sky‘, as well as great remixes on Elliot Berger and San Holo. More recently Elgus has been working out smooth edits on Missy Elliott and Schoolboy Q which in terms of style sound a lot more like the Swede’s most recent rework. Elgus’ ‘Finesse’ edit pitches the audio of the entire track from Bruno Mars’ ’24K Magic’ album down a notch. Elgus about the track: “It goes in the same direction as Bruno’s later, synth-funk vibe, but with a bit of my own touch. It’s groovy, it’s bouncy, it’s melodic and the sound meets somewhere between clean and lo-fi dirt with the DIY, pitched down acapella and the somewhat off grid drum groove. A taste of what my future original music will sound like.” The post NEW MUSIC: Bruno Mars – Finesse (Elgus Edit) appeared first on Jackplug Blog.

18-year-old talent Lucq is presenting his first official single today, titled ‘Slow’. The Dutch producer is sharing through Dutch label Dirty Soul Music. Lucq (Lucas Rijnsburger) has recently signed to the label, setting out to create a sound ‘driven by organic elements combined with electronic beats and heavy basses’. Other than this very smooth Jersey Club rework on Janet Jackson’s 1993 single ‘Anytime, Anyplace’, there’s not that much material to be found by Lucq yet. However the label does confirm that there are more releases lined up for the producer in 2018. On his new EP ‘Slow’, the young Dutch talent works together with Nashville singer Jacob Steele. The US vocalist/producer has in turn most recently worked together with creative partner and wife Sita Steele on ‘Around Me‘ and commercial work for brands such as Häagen-Dazs, Amazon, Smart and BMW. In collaboration with Lucq, the vocalist sounds formidable on ‘Slow’, a project that sounds like a perfect blend between electronic beats and high quality acoustic performance. Enjoy below.

Antwerp based producer Taska Black is sharing one of his new tracks through NYC based independent record label Lowly Palace, titled ‘Nothing Lasts’. The Belgian producer’s ‘Nothing Lasts’ is a collaboration with LA based singer/musician/graphic designer Pauline Herr. The (what sounds to be repitched) vocals apparently were not supposed to be on the record at first. Taska Black: “I debated singing on it first, but then I found Pauline and I knew she would be the perfect voice for the record to convey the sense of frail yet powerful emotion I was looking for.” ‘Nothing Lasts’ is a further testament of the producer’s excellent ability to capture both power and emotion in his work. “I really wanted to write a song that was definitely emotional, but also open to different interpretations. To me, ‘nothing lasts’ refers to the end of the world or something massive like that, but I think it has equal meaning to the end of a relationship or the death of a friend. All very heavy and emotional.” The post NEW MUSIC: Taska Black – Nothing Lasts (feat. Pauline Herr) appeared first on Jackplug Blog.

A few days ago, Australian singer/songwriter/producer James Chatburn released his much anticipated sophomore EP titled ‘Damen’. On it, this really cool rendition of a classical piece appears, titled ‘In The Wild’. After getting much attention from collaborations with Hilltop Hoods and XO, a succesful Mahogany Session and releasing his debut EP ‘001’, James Chatburn Returns with his new five track EP. While songs on ‘Damen’ such as ‘Omens’ and ‘Darling I Missed Your Call’ have been getting most plays, this song below has a nice surprise to it that simply doesn’t get old on replay. ‘Into The Wild’ is a soulful song built around the melody of classical 1875 composition ‘In The Hall Of The Mountain King’ by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Through time the composition has made quite a few appearences in cinema/tv – for instance look up movies such as Rat Race, Needful Things or The Social Network. What’s cool about it is that James Chatburn pours the pretty hectic classical piece into new form. ‘Into The Wild’ is a slow, tiptoeing, hip-hop version about inhibition and tension between two people.

New directions for What So Not on a new track with Australian vocalist Daniel Johns, titled ‘Be OK Again’. The project is the first time for Chris Emerson (What So Not) where he features his own vocals. According to What So Not, Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns walked in on a jam session somewhere this year: “Dan seemed intrigued and started joking he had to leave before he decided to cancel his plans and track vocals with us for the next 10 hours. A few days later, he reached out via a mutual friend and invited me up the coast to stay and work with him out of his home studio.” Both musicians end up working on one song in particular, ‘Be OK Again’: “I was kind of embarrassed to show someone of his calibre as I had written and sung my own topline to feel out the idea. To my surprise, he loved it and not only was he happy to re-sing my parts, he encouraged me to keep my voice on the record.” Featured Image Jem Cresswell The post NEW MUSIC: What So Not – Be OK Again (feat.

‘Rust’ in an extraordinary new single released by Australian indie artist Ollie Thorpe, released just before the weekend. Ollie Thorpe is a singer/musician from Sydney. He’s a recording artist with a background in rock and jazz, having studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. On stage Thorpe (on guitar/vocals) is backed by drummer Miles ‘Cannonball’ Thomas (also works with bands such as Japanese Wallpaper and montaigne) and bassist Brendan Clark (also with other bands, Broken Mountain and Jesse Redwing). The three formed a collective through a mutual appreciation of rock and of roll. As current influences, Ollie Thorpe mentions bands such as The Drones, Queens Of The Stone Age and Andy Shauf. Ollie Thorpe’s song writing – especially on ‘Rust’ – feels refrehsingly unpredictable. Thorpe’s been described as ‘an eclectic mix of angular guitar melodies and an incredible sense of dynamic’. In the recent past, the Drummoyne based frontman has released different singles such as ‘Protege’ (see it played live here) and Wonder. Both tracks – as well as Thorpe’s new single ‘Rust’ – have been getting support through Triple J Unearthed. The post NEW MUSIC: Ollie Thorpe – Rust appeared first on Jackplug Blog.

Powerful new single from Stockholm based group NONONO titled ‘Lost Song’. According to NONONO on social media, the song brings good news: “It was the start of a new process that in the end led to us making a new album.” NONONO already has an impressive list of accomplishments to take into account. The Swedish trio, comprised of Tobias Jimson (Astma), Michel Flygare (Rocwell) and Stina Wäppling is probably best known for their single ‘Pumpin Blood‘. The song landed the group a peformance on Jimmy Kimmel’ Tonight Show, as well as being able to tour with different artists such as Twenty One Pilots and Foster The People. After their success, NONONO took an 18 months break. Astma and Rocwell got catapulted straight into the studio again to work with different artists – think Madonna, Maroon 5, Tove Lo and Zara Larsson. Stina Wäppling has taken a different route by traveling through India, Sri Lanka and Bali. Upon return, the singer began finishing her master in psychology as well as getting back together to work with both NONONO producers again. Wäppling: “Tobias played the track for ‘Lost Song’ to me in the car when I had just returned from India and I remember feeling really stunned by the fact that it mirrored a lot of the feelings and emotions that had surrounded me in that country so far from home. The song is about losing and regaining trust in life. Having the cornerstones of my belief system crushed but finding trust in the basics of being, like being a tree or the way a child just is. To me this is a very powerful and healing feeling and I hope it can reach and translate to anyone who is listening.”</> The post NEW MUSIC: NONONO – Lost Song appeared first on Jackplug Blog.

Impressive dubstep EP by BLOQSHOT, a producer who actually comes from releasing a string of succesful hardstyle productions in the past. The Dutch music maker releases on the label of fellow Dutch EDM-duo Showtek, SKINK. Bloqshot is Dutchman Arjan Terpstra.

The duo split up in 2013, citing different creative ambitions as the main reason for breaking up. Next to his work as part of the hardstyle duo, BLOQSHOT has spent studio time with established EDM artists such as Dannic and Jordy Dazz. The Utrecht based producer has also released solo work under aliases such as Killer Clown and Chaeljo. As his most recent solo alter ego BLOQSHOT, Terpstra has released his music on labels such as WOLV, Nax Pluto and now for the first time, SKINK. His latest EP on SKINK features two tracks by the Dutchman. First track ‘Ard’ is the bass house side of the EP.

If anything good ever came from Soundcloud’s copyright notifications, it has to be Pomona Dream. The Swedish duo is sharing a silky new track this week, titled ‘Easy Raider’.

Ribbs ends up moving to Stockholm to live with he vocalist. Within three years, the duo Pomona Dream has gotten support from Indie Shuffle, KCRW, Loudersoft and many more.

Most outstanding dance track that came in over the weekend. Melbourne duo Kult Kyss are presenting their fourth single to date, ‘I Am One’. Kult Kyss is the name of the collaboration between Claire Rayner (Rromarin) and Jack Arentz (Haxx).

As vocalist Rromarin, Rayner has previously worked with artists such as Jordan F, LUCIANBLOMKAMP and Mazde. Arentz has been producing under different monikers, making well received projects under names such as Haxx, I Know Leopard and War Is Over.

The duo received support from blogs such as iheartmusiq, Repeat Button and The Revue a few years ago. To get to know this previous project, be sure to check out outstanding tracks such as ‘Heart‘ and ‘Heavy Water‘.

Last week’s biggest inbox surprise comes via Glassnote Records: Flight Facilities working together with Broods, Reggie Watts and Saro on this beautiful, teasing song titled ‘Stranded’. The Austrlian duo’s ‘Stranded’ is different from the usual composition you’ll hear in pop music of late: “Given an opportunity, with 7 of the most talented musicians to ever cross our path, we wanted to bring something special to life.” ‘Special’ means that throughout the first four minutes of the song there’s little relief. Just different verses in the song – pefectly performed by Broods, Reggie Watts and Saro – that seem to build up to nowhere. Up until the 04:09 mark. That unusual long buildup falls into place if you pair up Flight Facilities ‘Stranded’ with the video, directed by Tom Noakes. Each movement in the video lines up with the tension in the song. The video about a simple embrace between two lovers – which was recorded in a decommissioned prision in Sydney – is best explained in Noakes’ own words: “I trust it’s a common human experience no matter who you are or where you’re from. A sherman returning from sea, refugee, soldier, explorer or inmate; that singular embrace has the personal significance of a neutron star…To cinematically convey this emotion, I’ve taken the ‘kid being carried to bed,’ metaphor I used before, literally.

Getting into music by Madeline Tasquin, there’s definitely a lot of beautiful work to slowly dive into. This week the Canadian/Californian musician is sharing her newest EP, called ‘Future Telephone‘. It’s a seven track EP, with ‘Future Telephone’ (below) as title track. The leading song is about Tasquin’s own experiences in a long distance relationship: “The lyrics of this tune are paraphrased from actual lines and emotions spoken and felt by myself and my (now ex-) sweetheart in a long period in different timezones, when our words and intentions got lost in pixelation thanks to these future telephones we were trying to communicate complex emotions through.” If ‘Future Telephone’ is something you like, listening to the rest of the EP is going to be a really good ~22 minutes. The EP itself – at least for Tasquin – seems to be more about communication. Or miscommunication between people, to be more exact: “I feel like our communication as a species is rife with misunderstanding, riddled with assumption and an epidemic single-mindedness. These songs carry with them a hope that we can regain some of our natural empathy and the humility that comes with some sense of the vast complexity of life and all things.” Future Telephone by Madeline Tasquin The post NEW MUSIC: Madeline Tasquin – Future Telephone appeared first on Jackplug Blog.

Official debut single of Miami based producer Luis Crucet. The musician is working together with fellow Floridian vocalist Silk Matthews on a mighty bass anthem, ‘Power’. Luis Crucet is most known for his remixes on Clean Bandt’s ‘Rather Be‘ and Rihanna’s ‘Goodnight Gotham‘. Before 2015, Crucet was also known as Atrasolis. Under that more dubstep/bass focused name the Miamian for example worked out this remix on System Of A Down’s ‘Chop Suey!‘ and an original track titled ‘Turn Up The Heat‘. Vocalist Silk Matthews is – as well as Crucet himself – part of the Miami based WNWD artists collective. In turn, Matthews already made appearances on a few other tracks such as Atellagali’s ‘California Vibin’‘ and ‘Cloud Watching‘ together with Kaixen. According to Luis Crucet, ‘Power’ is about a choice between staying true to passion or ‘selling out’: “‘Power’ embodies emotions of struggling stories in someone’s passion or craft and what you’re willing to choose to sell out or not with all the costs.” Featured Image Emilio Areas The post NEW MUSIC: Luis Crucet – Power (feat.

Swedish RnB/pop duo Newtimers are presenting their new yet long-in-the-making single ‘Game Over’ today, together with label Cosmos Music. The two – Andreas Brutton (vocals) Cavaco and Tim Lundblad (drums/production) – have been around and working together since 2004. They have worked with various other artists such as The Magician, CAZZETTE, Saturday Monday and Vanessa Falk. Some of their best known original tracks include ‘Best Of Me‘ and ‘She’s A Gun‘ – with that last one being (sort of) re-released in 2016. The same seems to be the case for Newtimers’ new ‘Game Over’, which seems to be a new version of the same tracks from their 2013 ‘EGO EP’ which was released through Rec Rec Records. The EP disapeared from most online music channels over the years while it held some truly brilliant songs; so here’s to hoping songs like ‘January Love’ and ‘Heavy Weather’ will find their way back to those channels via re-release also. Newtimers’ ‘Game Over’ is a song about superficiality: “We were both dating models around the same time, both of them living for the lens and all that’s portrayed in pictures. We didn’t fit into the frame and neither did they actually, all you really saw was ego. Fakeness got real. We broke up. And it resulted in Game Over.” The post NEW MUSIC: Newtimers – Game Over appeared first on Jackplug Blog.

It’s the debut EP of Swedish duo Snow Culture on NYC’s Neon Gold Records; ‘EP1’. This week the Swedes – whose name is a reference to their home country’s cold winters – share another single from the EP, titled ‘Paris’. The duo, consisting of Ana Diaz and Oskar Sikow , released more music earlier this year. ‘No Sleep’ was the duo’s official debut in february 2017, followed by ‘The Box’, ‘Cold’ and finally – together with the full EP1 – ‘Paris’. Before putting more time into Snow Culture, both artists had different careers in music. Sikow worked as a producer on music with artists such as Erik Hassle, Marlene, Kate Boy and Giorgio Moroder. Vocalist Ana Diaz is working on Snow Culture next to a solo career, signed under her own name to Sony Music. When Diaz and Sidow met, Snow Culture came into existance pretty quickly after (according to this Billoboard interview). Diaz: “I’d just moved back to Stockholm after over a decade in the US/UK. Oskar was just about to move to Los Angeles. We kicked it and early in our conversations Snow Culture started forming – we both needed an outlet. It was a very swift process from meeting to creating to signing with Neon Gold.” The post NEW MUSIC: Snow Culture – Paris appeared first on Jackplug Blog.

Gold Coast breakdancer turned music producer Wongo shares an interesting new sound this week, on a new single titled ‘Paradise’. When it comes to Wongo, you might have already heard more housey tracks such as ‘Maybe Why Not‘ (featuring Cut Snake), ‘Be 2 Be‘ (featuring Ducky) or his remix on Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP’s 2013 single ‘Money‘. This new single shows a more mellow side of Wongo’s musical doings. On his new single, ‘Paradise’, the Australian producer – aparently it’s for the first time ever he’s working with a fellow Gold Coast local – is joined by San Mei (featured image), who in turn has already worked on really good music as well with Ascio and GOVS, as well as through a few originals of her own such as ‘Rewind‘ and ‘Brighter‘. According to Wongo their collaboration is a hommage to Gold Coast: “When I first heard San Mei, I had a feeling we would be able to come up with something special. It’s a track that portrays our sunny hometown whilst staying true to the vibes of my production style.” The post NEW MUSIC: Wongo – Paradise (ft. San Mei) appeared first on Jackplug Blog.
