Listen to Nurko & Misdom's latest 'Right Now'

August 03, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Cloud Rap, Dark, Hip-Hop, Electronic

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

For fans of sultry-like vocals and dark undertones, Nurko and Misdom's latest will hit the sweet spot. Titled 'Right Now', we particularly enjoy this track for its dreamy atmosphere and melodic production. Misdom brings a magical essence to the vocal production and reminded us a lot of artists like Roy Woods and The Weeknd. We love what the two artists brewed up here and we look forward to hearing more from the two in the coming months. 

Some of Nurko's past work like, 'Your Embrace' was featured on JC Caylon’s 'Neptones' which reached #1 on the iTunes dance chart. The artist has received over 5 million streams on Spotify with their hit single 'Let Me Go' and has gained support from artists like Illenium, Pegboard Nerds, the Chainsmokers, and many more.

RAMPANT unleash insane remix of Cheat Codes x DVBBS latest 'I Love It'

August 02, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, EDM, Pop, Remix

Our favorite AZ duo is back with an insane remix of Cheat Codes x DVBBS latest 'I Love It'. RAMPANT is no stranger to Gems & Secrets, the duo continues to thrive and this remix, it might just be their best work yet.

Past articles: (Poetry In Motion Remix) & (Be With You)

We love the direction they took with this one and we felt they did an incredible job at elevating the best parts of the original—while adding their own creative touch, in the most natural way possible. Oh, and by the way.. the switch up towards the end is probably our favorite part. If you're a fan of sultry vocals, slow builds, and euphoric drops, you're going to appreciate this and probably any RAMPANT release like, ever.  

Regardless, RAMPANT continues to raise the bar and we're so excited to hear what the duo has in store for us next. Don't forget to connect with the artist online so you can stay up to date on any future releases or updates. Enjoy!

You're going to LOVE Tennyson's remix of Kasbo's 'Your Tempo'—Announces tour

August 02, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, Remix, Soul

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We're kicking things off proper this morning with this incredible remix of Kasbo's latest ' Your Tempo'. Remixed by Tennyson, the new remix explores and highlights all of our favorite elements of the track while adding a fresh spin on the new release.

We love the flutters and the vocal performance and we felt like Tennyson did an incredible job elevating the track rather than delivering something that felt over-produced. The light percussion and the soulful vocal performance are more than enough to fill your heat with joy and we're excited to hear more from the artists soon.

24 Hrs (feat. Jazzie Martian), a song by DJ Cameo, Jazzie Martian on Spotify

Get your groove on with DJ Cameo's '24 Hours' (feat. Jazzie Martian)

July 31, 2018 by Gems Secrets in House

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

DJ Cameo released a brand new deep-house record that features a small splash of Caribbean and Grime influence. We love the production style—paying homage to the old school UKG roots of dance music. This is the first release of a new series and to launch the project, DJ Cameo invited Jazzie Martian to deliver a jazzy yet soulful performance.

We love the way this record came out and we love the energy and creative direction the two artists went with. If you're a fan of old school house and dance tracks, you're going to love this. Don't forget to connect with the artists online to stay up to date on any future releases or updates.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“I wanted to kick this project off by paying homage to the old skool era of UK Garage. The first notable track I co-produced was ‘HI Grade’ with J Sweet while working at Uptown Records. With 24 Hours I decided to take it back to the very early days of my career and the sounds that influenced me when I first started my journey.”

'Wine' by Sam Setton Written & performed by: Sam Setton Produced by: Alexander Glantz Mixed by: Jon Buscema Mastered by: Alex Psaroudakis Lyrics: (https://genius.com/Sam-setton-wine-lyrics) [INTRO] I won't miss you, I swear I won't miss you, I swear it [VERSE 1] Weepin’ in the hallway (mhm) After Silence for 3 days (yeah) I’m sick of all foul play Where did we go the wrong way? You're out here on your own (mhm) But you never seem to call home (no, no) I got 0 texts from your phone Where did we seem to go wrong? [PRE-Chorus] Can we make it alright? I’ll tell you I love you for the first time You and me feels so right I promise this will be our last fight [Chorus] There’s nothing This bottle of wine can do There’s nothing This bottle of wine Can do for you [VERSE 2] I thought about you all day (mhm) I think you could be my soul mate Oh now you’re telling me I’m too late How did I go the wrong way? Why do you think you’re above me? Baby, I wish you would trust me You act like you don’t fucking love me How does this get so ugly? [PRE-Chorus] Can we make it alright? I’ll tell you I love you for the first time You and me feels so right I promise this will be our last fight [Chorus] There’s nothing This bottle of wine can do There’s nothing This bottle of wine Can do for you [BRIDGE] This real shit ain't no fun Think twice but hold my tongue You still act hella young I'm not just anyone Throw my shit I don't care Our love was never fair Hope that you heard me clear I won't miss you I swear I won’t miss you I swear it [Chorus] There’s nothing This bottle of wine can do There’s nothing This bottle of wine Can do for you

We're obsessed with Sam Setton's latest 'Wine'

July 31, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, Electro Pop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Sam Setton makes his big return with 'Wine'. An intimate R&B gem with dark undertones and rich lyrical imagery. We love the production style but most importantly, Sam delivers some of his best work yet. The sultry like vocals and bouncy production elevates Sam's emotional distress as he reflects on a past relationship. We love this side of the artist and we felt like Sam did an incredible job portraying his frustration and energy in the song.

This isn't the first time we've covered Sam on the site and from the get-go we've admired and loved Sam's writing style. We're excited to see what's around the corner for the artist and it's safe to say we'll be supporting all the way to the top. Don't forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on any future releases and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"I wrote 'Wine" about my stressful relationship with my ex-girlfriend. Our love and dependency on each other was so intense, that after our fights we would turn to drinking and substances to ease the tension and delay confrontation. Often times the lines between love and hate, drunk and sober, became blurred. This song channels my frustration and conflict about the relationship as at points in the song I say she's my soulmate and at other's I say that I won't even miss her if we end things.. even if it’s just to get a rise out of her. 'Wine' is a confrontational song, but writing it allowed me to grow and learn from the relationship." - Sam Setton

[Premiere] Peter Kuli shares beautiful new single 'Potion' (feat. Still Haze)

July 31, 2018 by Gems Secrets in R&B, Indie

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

It's a beautiful Tuesday morning and to get things started we have this brand new record from Peter Kuli and Still Haze titled 'Potion'. We love this track for several reasons.. the instrumentation is light and minimalistic and doesn't take up all of your attention. The atmosphere of the pads creates a warm energy that we felt was soothing and relaxing and places a clear emphasis on the vocal performance—the vocals add an intimate touch and the lyricism is rich with imagery (pay attention as you listen along).

(Stream this song in our Spotify playlist here)

There's a healthy balance between the instrumentation and the vocal style and that's what makes this record so special—perfect synergy. If you're a fan of dream pop or bedroom pop, you're going to love this. Together, these two artists make some really exciting stuff and we look forward to hearing more from the two in the coming months.

Out now via Majestic Casual, this release marks the second collaborative single between the two artists. Don't forget to connect with them online so you can stay up to date on what's happening next. Enjoy! 

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

''Potion' was conceived as an acoustic idea written with just guitar and vocals. It's a self-reflection with an air of sass. It describes a newly attained mental state of moving forward in a bit of a pragmatic manner. There are references about cutting toxic people out of one's life and getting tired of being burdened by others' complaining and negative energy. It's a lash back at people who are not taking responsibility or holding themselves accountable for problems that they're not taking steps to change.

My songs are always written from a place of almost contradictory duality. So there are lines that purposely play the alternate perspective.' - Still Haze
