Discrete x Sistek release 'Typo' (feat. Tudor & Voss)

January 10, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Electronic, Electro Pop, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We love when artists come together to work on creative projects. The collective effort and newfound friendship brings the best out of people. The final result? We’re blessed with this incredible new song titled ‘Typo’. Produced by Discrete & Sistek with vocals by Tudor & Voss, this future-pop inspired gem is a must-hear. It’s infectious, it’s fun, and it’s everything we love when discovering new music.

Don’t forget to connect with the artists online to stay up to date on what’s happening and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTISTS HAVE TO SAY:

“On how “Typo” surfaced, Sistek reflects, “Maybe the all-nighter induced Tudor and me to dig into emotions that we might otherwise not have explored. When I brought the song to Sweden, Discrete and Victoria sustained that momentum. We barely had time to think. We just rode our instincts all the way to the finish.”

Discrete remembers, “I met Sistek in early 2019 and invited him to collaborate with me at my studio. I heard the potential in “Typo” already the first time he played it for me. I asked Victoria Voss if she wanted to take this song to the next step, and within a day we had finished the song. Sistek and I polished the production soon thereafter.” ”

It’s ‘Fucking Retrograde’ and Xelli Island isn’t having any of it

December 19, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Experimental, Electronic, Indie

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist:

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Xelli Island is the latest and greatest to land on our radar. The talented and creative musician is taking on a fresh and laid-back sound that we can’t get enough of. With her new single ‘Fucking Retrograde’, Xelli delivers an experimental psychedelic experience with strong themes surrounding the frustrations tied to mercury being in retrograde. Huge props to Xelli for writing something so original and fun, right?

I think we all want to blame something bigger than ourselves when we feel regret. Writing "Fucking Retrograde" was a way for me to cope with an unexpected wave of unprocessed emotions that hit me extremely hard last summer, when my car was broken down for almost two months. I was walking everywhere in the middle of an LA summer, Mercury was in retrograde, and it felt like the longest couple months of my life. I was finally facing the truth about decisions I made a while back, in the fog of change. — Xelli Island

We have high hopes for Xelli’s future material. In our honest opinion, she’s bringing something interesting and genuine to the table and that’s all we could ever ask for. If you’re looking for a creative spirit from the inside out, Xelli’s ‘Fucking Retrograde’ should be right up your alley.
