Staygold releases two new tracks, 'Snow Girl' & 'All I Do', stream them here!

October 22, 2018 by Gems Secrets in EDM, Electro Pop, Electronic, Hip-Hop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We love ourselves a good pop record from time to time but Staygold went above and beyond that with their latest work, ‘Snow Girl’ & ‘All I Do’. The Grammy-nominated songwriters and producers shared two new tracks this last week highlighting some of the duo’s signature and exceptionally sounding design in the arts of electronic, hip-hop, and pop music.

‘Snow Girl’ is an upbeat party starter for anyone who loves a strong hook over electronic production… Staygold brings a little bit of everything to their music, so it’s a safe to say, whether you’re a fan of EDM or Pop bobs, ‘Snow Girl’ possesses a lovable sound that you’ll want to share with all of your friends.

‘All I Do’ highlights the duo’s gritty and raw talent for hip-hop production. Blending in a signature flavor of design and style, Staygold fuses elements of jazz, dance, and soul with a heavy set of hip-hop inspired drums, creating an infectiously catchy west-coast gem with a modern electronic twist.

**The duo is based in Los Angeles, not Germany

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“My idea for this was simple—traditionally, people score films with music.  Well I wanted to try something different and score music with a film (not just a music video).  So, I took 3 songs that have ENTIRELY nothing to do with one another and wrote a 3-part story to it. I hope people enjoy it even a quarter as much as I enjoyed creating.” – Clay Dub

Hodgy and Alvin Risk present their new project HA O.P.E.N. The first song from the HA catalog Listen on all platforms: https://stem.lnk.to/OPEN Follow HA @HA_universe Follow Hodgy IG @monkmiyagi FB @hodgymiyagi Follow Alvin Risk @alvinrisk

We're obsessed with this new Hodgy & Alvin Risk project 'HA'—Listen to their brand new single 'O.P.E.N.' here

September 24, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Hip-Hop, Electronic

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

So it’s worth mentioning we were really excited to see Alvin Risk’s name pop up on our timeline last week. We were following the artist back in 2012 and sorta lost contact as we were preoccupied with other matters.. but nonetheless, it was a big deal when we saw the producer was teaming up with lyricist and hip-hop artist Hodgy. Their new collaborative project titled ‘HA’ explores a fun and catchy nu-hip-hop/R&B styled track with a creative direction worth your attention.

In contrast, it’s a pretty big difference from what Alvin was creating back in the day but the blend of styles from the two artist’s are unmatched. It’s an exciting new project with a really great sound and we can’t wait to see where the project goes in the coming months. If you like the new track, be sure to subscribe, like, and enjoy!
