New Track: Undone – Art of Shades (ft. Sylo Nozra)

Franco-Italian producer ART OF SHADES has teamed up with singer Sylo Nozra for the release of single, ‘Undone’, taken from the forthcoming EP set to drop this spring via his record label, Sounds of Shades.

Although ART OF SHADES is based in Paris and Sylo Nozra resides in Toronto, thanks to the power of the internet, it didn’t stop the pair cooking up a four-minute production, packaged in a downtempo electro-hip-hop slammer. Through this collaboration, they became great friends and are now both a part of the same Canadian squad, OTrip.

‘Undone’ marks the slick beatmaker’s new musical direction and his request to collaborate with different musicians across the globe.

Check out the video to ‘Undone’.

HUMANS Release New Video For ‘Sip It’ ahead of EP ‘The Feels’

In the run up to the release of their EP, Vancouver duo HUMANS have dropped the video to their single, ‘Sip It’.

For their latest offering, the indie electro producers started a contest on SKIO, which gave their fans the opportunity to remix ‘Sip It’. The contest concluded with over 250 submissions.

This is not the first time the HUMANS have pushed the boundaries when it comes to dropping their releases: The trippy dance visuals for ‘Boys & Girls’ translates the band’s 2D animations into an interactive 3D space and the VR for ‘The Feels’ puts the viewer directly into a space of unease, prodding them forward, as the track builds to a nightmarish warehouse rave.

‘The Feels’ EP, which includes the aforementioned singles, is set for release this Friday (26th January via their label, Haven Sounds.

Song of the Day: Jungle – Makk Mikkael

The gripping downtempo drive with contrasting heavenly overtones has given MAKK MIKKAEL‘s sultry piece ‘Jungle’ a well-deserved place on NEW LEASE MUSIC’s Song of the Day hotspot.

The song is about sticking with someone who is impossible in hope of a happy ending – only to find out there’s no ending. The accompanied video sees the Canadian singer wearing the colour yellow in which she associates with being bright with hidden depths.

It’s time to check out the video to ‘Jungle.’
