OUT TODAY: Nana Koloda and Sayhelooo Unveil New Single, ‘Lift Him Up’

Ukrainian duo artist NANA KOLODA and producer SAYHELOOO are set to ignite dance floors worldwide with their new single, ‘Lift Him Up’, out today (18th September) across all major streaming platforms. The track is the lead single from their forthcoming four-track EP of the same name.

Blending electronic, techno and pop with an unapologetically powerful energy, ‘Lift Him Up’ explores the greater divine within each of us. The track encourages listeners to awaken their inner light and strength, allowing what already exists within to rise to the surface.

‘Lift Him Up’ follows their well-received track, ‘Zozulia’, which generated support from multiple radio stations around the world.

United by their passion for music and a desire to create on their own terms, Nana Koloda and Sayhelooo’s collaboration is rooted in artistic freedom rather than following trends or seeking to appease the masses. Instead, they invite listeners into their distinctive and esoteric approach to electronic music — one that feels deeply personal yet remains open and inclusive. 

Nana Koloda’s passion for music began at a young age and intensified during her time working in clubs as a dancer. Her love for electronic music developed through discovering the work of artists including Boris Brejcha, Black Coffee and Worakls, influences that continue to shape her artistic identity.

For Sayhelooo, the journey into electronic music began after listening to Apparat’s hit ‘Escape’. Like Nana, his connection with music dates back to childhood, with Queen among his earliest major influences. His evolving fascination with eclectic rhythms has since opened doors to creating music for advertising and film.

The duo continues to embody what their burgeoning collaboration stands for with ‘Lift Him Up’ — a track that moves confidently between the underground and the mainstream without compromising its identity. 

‘Lift Him Up’ is out today (18th September) via all music platforms. Check it out below…

EP Review: Je Ne Sais Quoi – Gemini Chris

Of all the years of reviewing albums and EPs on NEW LEASE MUSIC, I am quite ashamed to say that I’ve never covered a house music album or EP. Well GEMINI CHRIS has broken that void and slipped his new EP entitled ‘Je Ne Sais Quoi’ into the blog’s limelight.

The Jamaican DJ take us back, way back to the late eighties/early nineties where techno house was rife, with infectious thumps of electronic hooks, coupled with the underlying bass which somehow gives the arrangements that extra fire.

Although this London-residing beat maestro arguably takes heavy influences from notable electronic acts such as Derrick May (Strings of Life), 808 State and Shades and Rhythm, he adds his own magic to techno house of the aforementioned era, giving it that certain Je Ne Sais Quoi… check out his set below:
