This Daktyl and MOONZz collab hits the sweet spot—'Weather'

This next track hits the sweet spot for us, produced by Daktyl and featuring the incredible singer/songwriter MOONZz, the two artists shared their latest work titled 'Weather' last week and upon hearing it for the first time we knew we had to share it on the site. MOONZz's writing and vocal style is some of the best work we've heard in awhile. Her ability to stun the listener with her relatable and moody lyricism is something that immediately grabbed our attention. MOONZz reveals the inspiration behind the song, stating that;

"when you're you're with that one person that makes everything feel effortless, that's the perfect weather, there's nothing more beautiful than that feeling."

Listen to our current obsession from Charlz—'Colors'

We've been obsessed with this single since it's release nearly a month ago. Charlz's vocal style immediately grabbed our attention and it didn't take long before we fell in love with the warm and colorful production. Produced by award-winning producer M-Phazes (AKA Mark Landon), who is best known for his work with artists including Eminem, Madonna, Lupe Fiasco and Amy Shark. 

“I was paired up with Mark at a songwriting workshop in Melbourne, early on in his career. We spent all day in the Abbotsford Convent, drinking wine and making music.” - Charlz

As the song progresses, melodies dance around the beat and were given a small taste of the delicate and emotional energy Charlz places within her music. You should pay attention to the rich lyrical style and dig deep into the message behind the song. Overall, it's a beautiful record from start to finish and if you have the time, we strongly encourage you to check out the rest of Charlz's discography on Spotify.

Dhruv Visvanath's music video for 'Wild' is a cinematic treat, watch it here

Dhruv Visvanath's story is an inspiring one... and you can feel and hear it in their music. Their new song 'Wild' is an inspiring ballad that'll leave you quite... speechless. It's absolutely incredible and if you have the time, really take the moment to submerge yourself into Dhruv's world. A world fueled by gentle, melodic guitars and moved by a vocal style that'll send chills up and down your spine.

Written as a tale of a heart in search of freedom. True-freedom, freedom from the confines of modern responsibility. I guess you could say that we're really impressed by Dhruv's writing ability and we can only hope it moves you the way it moved us.

And as if we didn't love the song enough, the music video offers an inspirational look at a life of isolation through the eyes of living mops. These mops are faced with loneliness and heartache like many around the world who are confined to their roots, shut down each time they try to achieve something greater. It's a cinematic treat directed by Tanvi Gandhi and the imagery is flawless.

Listen to the full album here: Spotify

We really hope you love the track and if you did, we strongly encourage you to reach out to the artist yourself and connect with them online to stay up to date on any future releases/updates. Enjoy!

Dugong Jr and Ruby Chase delivered this catchy new single 'Voyager' — Listen here!

All things are right when it comes to this new collab between electronic producer Dugong Jr and vocalist Ruby Chase. Titled 'Voyager', the new single is as refreshing and as catchy as you'd expect. The production follows a bouncy and colorful soundscape filled with glitchy vocal chops and chilling melodies. Ruby's infectiously catchy vocal style is some of the best work we've seen from the artist and that's one hell of a combo for a hit song. We absolutely love what these two artists brought to the table and we think it's safe to say they definitely have our attention. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think.
