New Track: Cave In – KYOTI

KYOTI Cave in

London-based art pop project KYOTI released their debut offering Cave In.

With a focus on narratives that tell of love, loss, isolation, madness, the sugary-sweet 80s-inspired song is about the past and the future, with a friendship caught in the midst. It addresses the increasing divide between people who have grown up together and is a plea to those who have moved on, sold up, and mellowed out, to remember where they come from.

Already confirmed a session at London’s Sofar Sounds and with further material in the pipeline, the trio will also prove their multiple talents with Cave In‘s accompanying monochromatic visuals, featuring nostalgic archive footage characterised by a mesmerising motif of hands in an echo of the single’s artwork.

Having forged their own paths individually across the disciplines of music, theatre, art and film, KYOTI bring a broad spectrum of influences to the table in their unification as a band. The result is a unique meeting of music and visuals that promises to resonate with any listener looking for a sweet escape.

New Track: Shelter – Joy Oladokun

joy shelter

Described as raw, honest and heartwarming, LA-based singer/songwriter JOY OLADOKUN has revealed a brand new single, Shelter, the first release from her forthcoming debut album, Carry.

Combining roots rock, folk with a splash of ambient pop, the four-minute effort sees the present-day Tracy Chapman delivers, in a soulfully-raw style, the meaning of giving and receiving love without reservation.

Writing and playing the guitar from the age of 10, Joy has always used music as a way to make sense of the struggles and celebrate the triumph of life. Last year, she released her self-produced debut EP titled Cathedrals.

To put her next project into motion, Joy started a Kickstarter campaign and received $30,000.  The project comes in the form of  the debut album Carry, which is set for release on April 29th…but for now, get a sneak peek of the album and to listen to Shelter.

New Track: Thinking About It (Let It Go) KVR Remix – Nathan Goshen

Nathan Goshen Let it Go

Dutch producer KVR takes on Israeli pop star Nathan Goshen’s emotional track Thinking About It (Let It Go), dropped last Friday via Scandinavian label disco:wax.

Already a roaring success in his home country, named Man of The Year and Singer of The Year by one of Israel’s biggest national radio stations, Nathan Goshen’s first two albums went GOLD; a success crowned by winning ‘Composer of the Year’ in 2011 from non-profit rights corporation ACUM. Now, via a bedroom in Holland, 14-year-old KVR is taking Goshen’s music to the international stage; and with a little help from disco:wax he looks set to take the world by storm.

After stumbling across the teenager’s first rough version of the remix on Soundcloud, Alexander Ash of disco:wax – which is home to the likes of rising star Tobtok – explains that “this track just made me stop. So I reached out to him and found out he was only 14. We had to contact his parents…then we got in contact with Nathan’s people to introduce the remix to them.”

KVR discovered the original single, written and composed by Nathan Goshen, which has racked up close to 1 million hits on YouTube since its release last summer, and first created the remix on Fruity Loops with nothing but his own personal computer.

Combining a 14-year-old’s abundant natural ability, and building upon Goshen’s overwhelming success in his home country, the remix of Thinking About It (Let It Go) looks set to cement them both as one’s to watch on the international stage.

KVR‘s version of Thinking About It (Let it Go) is now available on iTunes.

New Track! My Place – SleepLust

My Place sleeplust

In the span of less than two years, songstress/poet Meghan Tartamella and twin brothers Michael and Joseph Pepe -aka – SLEEPLUST – has become one of Los Angeles’s most exciting and sought after indie electronic pop outfits.

The trio released their debut self-titled EP in November to critical acclaim and commercial success. Recorded in their hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, the five track release is an homage to the band’s roots, hometown and the major transition periods in life we can all relate to. “The EP really speaks to those shifts in emotions, priorities and relationships. It’s about coming more into ourselves and feeling safe in who/where that is.” Tartamella says wistfully.

My Place sleeplust

Their latest single My Place is the first song written and recorded in the band’s new home of Los Angeles. The three-and-a-half minute production displays the band’s unique trademark, which combines brooding electronics, wandering synths and heavy bass, all brought together by Tartamella’s sultry yet focused melodies.

This Spring,  SLEEPLUST’s music will be featured on major cable networks such as MTV, VH1, E! and Oxygen. The band is also busy headlining select West Coast tour dates and playing festivals this summer.
