Swedish electronic music producer HANDSHAKE IN SPACE has dropped a banging summer anthem, ‘No other beat ever hits like this,’ out now across all leading music platforms.
Operating at a driving 124 BPM and composed in the moody, resonant key of 5A (A minor), the track is a masterclass in peak-time energy. But unlike traditional instrumental club tracks, ‘No other beat ever hits like this’ features an infectious, driving vocal hook that serves as a love letter to dancefloor culture itself.
With lines like ‘Every drop, every kick, every high / I fall in love with the volume again,’ the track perfectly captures the euphoric, near-religious experience of bass frequencies taking over a room.
“I wanted the lyrics to act as a mirror to what the crowd is physically feeling in the club,” says HANDSHAKE IN SPACE. “When the bass drops, you aren’t just hearing it—you’re feeling it in your chest. That line, ‘Don’t nobody else make the room shake,’ is the exact energy we wanted to inject into this production.”
The single delivers a relentless build-up, culminating in a heavy, bass-driven chorus designed to shake club sound systems. Early tastemaker support suggests the track’s repetitive, hypnotic hook is primed to become a major summer vocal anthem for festival crowds.

BRI FLETCHER – SALT WATER
BRI FLETCHER is crying good tears on her new single, ‘Salt Water,’ an R&B leaning anthem that cleverly uses the healing properties of salt water as a remedy for heartbreak. While the production embraces a smoother, more soulful sound, Fletcher’s signature storytelling remains at the heart of the track, blending emotional honesty with undeniable vulnerability.
The song explores the idea that sometimes the first step toward moving on isn’t pretending you’re okay, it’s allowing yourself to feel everything. Fletcher transforms tears into a symbol of hope: “Thought I’d never be the one to cry online / But WebMD just said I’ll be alright”

HANDSHAKE IN SPACE – THE ONE (THE LOVE OF MY LIFE)
Swedish EDM producer HANDSHAKE IN SPACE today announces the release of his deeply personal single, ‘The One (Love of My Life).’ The release date is no coincidence; it marks exactly 35 years since the artist became engaged to the love of his life on Midsummer Eve in 1991.
‘The One (Love of My Life)’ is a tribute to lifelong devotion, inspired by the artist’s wife, whom he met in 1987. The track merges the signature electronic sound of HANDSHAKE IN SPACE with an intimate and vulnerable narrative, creating a unique bridge between the high energy of the club and the sincerity of the heart.
“This song is more than just a production to me; it is my wife’s and my story captured in sound,” says the artist behind HANDSHAKE IN SPACE. “Releasing it on Midsummer Eve, 35 years after our engagement, brings everything full circle. It is a reminder that a great, enduring love actually exists and is worth celebrating.”
‘The One (Love of My Life)’ is now out for your pleasure! Check it out below…
JULIE EDDY returns with ‘What If We Don’t,’ a country track that hits every emotional note exactly where it should, delivering a song that feels both classic and deeply personal. At its core, it’s the battle between what you know you should do and what your heart keeps pulling you toward. Logic versus emotion, caution versus hope.
The opening verse immediately sets up that tension: “I know I should turn and slip out the back door / You should pretend you didn’t see me walk in/ We should keep it surface-level, short and simple / If we can’t help but stumble into talkin’”
The vulnerability in the writing makes the story feel real, while the delivery keeps it undeniably country: honest, heartfelt, and easy to picture playing through the speakers of a late-night drive home.
The chorus arrives and completely opens the song up. It’s emotional, catchy, and impossible not to sing along to by the second listen. “Cause what if, what if, what if we do? / Give it one more shot, baby me and you / See if lightning strikes twice in the same spot / Start falling again and we never stop…/ It’d be safer to leave it in the past we both know that’s true/ But what if, what if we don’t? / Cause what if we do”
Speaking on the track, Eddy shares, “‘What If We Don’t’ was written as the opposite storyline to ‘Two Truths & A Lie.’ Since that song resonated so strongly with fans, we wanted to revisit the scenario of running into an ex at a bar, but offer an alternate ending. Instead of playing games or pretending you’ve moved on, this story is about being honest and laying all your cards on the table — admitting you still want another shot at the relationship and hoping it could turn into something lasting.”
’What If We Don’t’ showcases Julie Eddy at her strongest: vulnerable without losing confidence, emotional without overcomplicating the message. It’s relatable country storytelling with a modern edge, and it’s more than ready to make some noise.
’What If We Don’t’ was released last Friday, 26th June across all leading music platforms. Have a listen below…
Singer-songwriter and Americana troubadour DANIEL LEYES releases his collaborative LP ‘Medicinal Americana’, cultivated and produced by the the late songwriter and roots, Americana, and folk-rock legend Todd Snider. The album is available on all digital streaming platforms, and you can find it HERE.
Daniel Leyes has a life story worth telling, and an album, ‘Medicinal Americana’, that brings that story to life. Born and raised on Staten Island, Leyes grew up immersed in the sounds of the ’60s and ’70s, from Motown to Led Zeppelin. He’s been playing guitar and writing songs since his teens, steadily shaping the voice he carries today.
Everything shifted for him in 2017, the first time he heard folk-Americana legend Todd Snider, specifically the song “Conservative Christian.” Leyes recalls, “My life is divided into two parts: before I heard Todd and after I heard Todd. After that chance radio encounter, my life would never be the same.”
Their friendship truly began years later, in 2023, when Leyes attended a songwriting camp hosted by Snider. The two quickly bonded, describing themselves as “cosmic old friends,” sharing songs, stories, and plenty of smoke-filled sessions that helped spark the creative energy behind this album. What neither of them knew at the time was that Medicinal Americana would become Snider’s final production project before his passing, adding a deeper emotional weight to the record.
‘Ha Ha Weed Is Legal,’ one of the album’s lead singles, sets the tone with a carefree sense of celebration. Driven by bright horns, acoustic guitars, and an infectious rhythm, it’s arguably the most immediately memorable track. It’s playful, catchy, and almost nursery rhyme-like in its simplicity.
The next single, ‘Stoner Mating Call,’ strips things back. With just Leyes’ voice and an acoustic guitar front and center, the song leans into humor and charm: “If you wanna make love until mañana / In a funky little bungalow in southwest Tijuana / After which we could smoke some marijuana / Honey, I’m the man for you.” Beneath the cheeky lines is a sincerity that makes the song feel genuine and disarming.
Another standout is ‘Astrovan,’ co-written with Snider. Raw and reflective, it shifts focus away from the album’s lighter themes and into something more personal, chasing dreams, regardless of how messy or uncertain the path may be: “I got this dream that I’m chasing / It comes before everything / This simple life I’m embracing / Living every day to play and sing.”
Other highlights include ‘Can You Do It,’ a dark, smoky, blues-tinged track that leans into introspection, while ‘Party’ swings in the opposite direction, building gradually before exploding into a full, high-energy payoff.
Dedicated to Leyes’ friend Carl “Tinker” West (Bruce Springsteen’s original manager) ‘Medicinal Americana’ is more than just a collection of songs. It’s a journey, one rooted in friendship, growth, creative freedom, and a passionate tribute to Todd Snider’s lasting influence.

ANDREW MOORE & HOOCH FT. JOHN DALY & DAN TYMINSKI – TYRANT
ANDREW MOORE & HOOCH‘s latest single, ‘Tyrant,’ is a gritty, blues-infused Americana anthem that explores the emotional toll of living under constant criticism, control, and negativity while ultimately finding the strength to reclaim your peace. Featuring Grammy-winning vocalist Dan Tyminski and PGA legend John Daly, the song transforms a deeply personal struggle into a message that resonates far beyond any one situation.
Daly’s involvement extends far beyond a feature credit. After hearing Moore and the band perform the song, he immediately connected with its message and became an active part of the project, serving as co-producer, appearing in the music video, and delivering the spoken-word closing that brings the song’s story full circle.
”The song is awesome and I feel a lot of people go through divorces which really sucks and the song is just so good it really touched my heart the first time I heard it.” — John Daly
Driven by Moore’s soulful vocal performance, heartfelt songwriting, and the band’s signature blend of blues, country, rock, and Americana influences, ‘Tyrant’ speaks to anyone who has ever felt weighed down by a relationship, addiction, family dynamic, workplace situation, or personal struggle that continually diminishes their sense of self.
‘Tyrant’ is released today across all leading platforms. Watch the official music video below…
INDIGO SYNDICATE – c e i l i n g s
INDIGO SYNDICATE returns with ‘c e i l i n g s,’ a laid-back, jazz-influenced track that reveals a more vulnerable side of the group while still holding onto the sharp lyricism and personality that define their sound. Built around themes of perseverance, self-reflection, and personal growth, the song explores the challenge of navigating uncertainty while continuing to move forward.
From the opening lines, the track settles into a hazy, introspective groove before expanding into an uplifting chorus that feels like a conversation with yourself: a reminder to keep going, trust the process, and focus on growth. The song balances emotional honesty with effortless cool, pairing hypnotic production, jazz-inspired textures, and memorable melodies that reward repeat listens.
Speaking on the track, Indigo Syndicate shares: “‘c e i l i n g s’ is a song about perseverance. This track is meant to reassure listeners that they are not alone and motivate them to keep trying. We felt the timing of this song was especially important. During such an intense and uncertain time across the globe, this is meant to help anyone who needs it.”

Nine months after their last collaborative release (Yesterday’s Weirdness…EP with Alaska), ALEX LUDOVICO and JASON GRIFF are back with ‘A Lot to Unpack’, a new 12-song LP that feels more like an EP, despite its 20+ minute runtime. The project spans a wide variety of lyrical subjects, ranging from politics to one-night stands to baseball to showing love to Westside Gun to just spitting crazy bars.
