You’re Going To Want To Have This Week’s New Music ‘On Repeat’ | ICYMI Monday

by The Freaks - Staff

Giuseppe Ottaviani – ‘Slow Emotion 4’

Like its first three incarnations, ‘Slow Emotion 4’ is quick to toy with the pace and tone expectations that have — over time — gathered around Giuseppe Ottaviani’s music. The track pumps and bleeps its way through a fiery intro, before flaring the pitch-wheel and timeslipping its tempo, dropping into a slow march. Backed by warpingly techy bass, the track takes a distinct turn for the meta, as this track becomes sentiently self-aware and starts to vocally narrate its own arc. 

Armin van Buuren x Brennan Heart – ‘All On Me (Brennan Heart VIP Mix)’

A snappier, more devastating version of his collab with Armin van Buuren and Andreas Moe, the Brennan Heart VIP Mix of ‘All On Me’ digs into the deeper styles with great effect. From the musically impeccable breakdown to the monstrous drop with ravaging kick drums, this edit adds even more dance floor appeal to the inspiring original.

Jody Wisternoff – ‘Nightwhisper’

“‘Nightwhisper’ is an attempt at finding balance and inner peace during the ever-changing life journey. In some ways, it’s a personal lullaby, a call back to simpler times which of course is impossible, but comforting nonetheless.”

Jody Wisternoff

Space Corps – ‘5th Dimension’

Coming on strong once more with an absolute belter, Space Corps complete the proverbial hat trick with ‘5th Dimension’ as their third call-out. From the glowing arpeggios and gliding pads to the massive melody ripping through space and time, this record radiates unity between all worlds involved.

Simon Patterson – ‘Close My Eyes (feat. Sarah de Warren)’

Bringing his next spark of Vocal Trance brilliance to the Armind imprint in tandem with Sarah de Warren, Simon Patterson picks up where he left off after ‘Now I Can Breathe Again’ and ‘Fall For You’. From the divine vocals to the soaring melodies and high-energy bassline, ‘Close My Eyes’ bears all the hallmarks of a monumental, crowd-pleasing Trance record.

Cosmic Gate – ‘Wake Your Mind Sessions 004’

It’s here! The fourth edition of Nic & Bossi’s celebrated music compilation series, ‘Wake Your Mind Sessions’ walks the line from today. Containing thirty Cosmic Gate-embodying studio works — from the group’s own hands and likeminds alike, the album spans the entire Cosmic cosmos. 150mins of music, including tracks from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Chicane, Tinlicker, Genix, Andrew Bayer, Mauro Picotto and others, all mixed to perfection are just a couple of clicks away.

Super8 & Tab – ‘These Little Stories (Part 1)’

There is always a story behind music, no matter how big or small. Shaped by the memories of valuable experiences, they not only allow the artist to tell their side of it all, but also encourage listeners to share theirs. And that’s exactly what Super8 & Tab aim for with part one of their brand-new album: ‘These Little Stories’.

If you listen closely, you can hear the little echoes of the past being brought back to modern days. And it may just be ‘These Little Stories’ that bring a smile to your face every single time.

ARTY – ‘Kingdom (feat. Conrad Sewall)’

A genre-crossing record, ARTY and Conrad Sewell’sKingdom’ is an inspiring anthem about self-belief. With soaring vocals and melodic brilliance, this record shows once again why ARTY is an astute, innovative star in the dance community.

Brando – ‘Millennial Rhapsody’

Brando’s first new single after signing an exclusive recording agreement with Armada Music, ‘Millennial Rhapsody’ sees the L.A. singer-songwriter push the boundaries once more. With his soulful, uncomplicated vocals taking charge of the moment atop a flawless, delicately vibed instrumental, this record shows how brilliantly effective his music can be.

Marshmello x Halsey – ‘Be Kind’

Party Favor – ‘Fresh Laundry’

The EP opens with title track ‘Fresh Laundry’, a majestic bass and trap composition reflecting Party Favor’s eclectic production style. Next up is ‘Happee’, which features the delicate vocals of Runn and channels equal parts raw emotion and dancefloor energy. Moving into recent single ‘Once More’, English singer-songwriter Georgia Ku lends her vocals over a  harmonically rich track paired with Party Favor’s brilliant production. Closing things out, ‘Alien Party sees Californian artist Yung Pinch rap over sparse, futuristic beats and ‘Switchup’ featuring Wes Period, which harnesses a mutated emo-rap vibe. 

JVNA – ‘Safehouse’

Kicking off the single with her own harmonically-rich vocals paired with rhythmic drum patterns, JVNA drops into hard-hitting basslines to create an emotionally charged tune. ‘Safehouse’ sees JVNA shine with her masterful production style and unique ability to craft mind-blowing music. 

Illenium x X Ambassadors – ‘In Your Arms (Stripped)’

ILLENIUM’s powerhouse track ‘In Your Arms’ with X Ambassadors gets a brand-new take in a stripped-back, acoustic version. 

Kai Stevens – ‘The Fire’

Kai Stevens is only a junior in high school, but he’s already making an impact with his unique brand of melodic dance pop. At only seventeen years old, he’s already been producing for seven years. On top of producing, he plays piano, guitar, mixes all his own music, and can now add singer to his resume with his newest single, ‘The Fire’. 

Vampa – ‘Dark Matter’

Dark Matter’ dishes out a heavy, haunting theme through its two tracks. The title single kicks things off with Vampa going all out for a straight up wonky dubstep original. ‘Masquerade’ keeps the energy going with some absolutely gargantuan growls that scream epic. Vampa proves yet again why she can compete with the best of them!

Jeffrey James – ‘Aftermath’

“‘Aftermath’ is a delightful, piano-driven love ballad, complete with soul-baring lyricism and captivating vocals. It’s about watching a love grow more than you thought was possible. You realize it’s strong enough to make it through any situation and even if everything fell apart around you, you’d have the strength of the bond to help you both rebuild.”

Jeffrey James

Weiss – ‘First Sight’

UK DJ and producer WEISS marks his first release of 2020 with new single ‘First Sight’. An infectious 80s-infused house cut, ‘First Sight’ brings new life to retro-tinged synths, delivering a sound that’s simultaneously nostalgic and fresh-sounding. It acts as the first installment of a multi-track story exploring themes of creative expression, unity, love, and positivity inspired by memories and impressions of formative raving years with good friends, new friends and strangers alike.

Mike Mago x Kelli-Leigh – ‘On Repeat’

Dutch DJ/producer Mike Mago and UK vocalist/songwriter Kelli-Leigh team up on the new single ‘On Repeat’. Kelli-Leigh’s soulful vocals powerfully capture the experience of not being able to get someone out of your mind — a sense that Mago echoes and amplifies musically in the propulsive, dance floor-ready track.

Space Funk – ‘A Love Like This’

Making his Glitterbox debut, Space Funk is an alias for one of house music’s most intriguing characters taking time to explore a brand-new disco-leaning sound with this pseudonym. Bursting onto the scene with ‘A Love Like This’, dancing keys, a bounding bassline and soulful vocals give the record an infectious and uplifting energy.
