Jarami shares gritty new record, 'Cold Blooded'—Listen here!

October 09, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electro Pop, Experimental, Funk, Indie

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

‘Cold Blooded’ is the latest from Jarami and we’re absolutely obsessed. The energy in this track is electrifying and we can’t get over how fun and energetic the vocals are. Everything from the funky guitar work to the driving bass-line, this record has it all.

Jarami is Swedish producer duo consisting of Jacob Olofsson and Rami Dawod. The two artist’s connected 8 years ago in their local jazz scene and formed officially back in 2015. The duo has been making their own colorful blend of soul, house, and electronic infused music ever since.

Unlike many producer duos, Jarami is the sole creator and mastermind behind all of their music, visuals, and artwork. They write, sing and perform all of their own music and they certainly grabbed our attention with their latest.

You're going to love this music video from Abby Diamond — 'Irrelevant'

October 06, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Contemporary R&B, Indie, R&B, Soul

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Okay, before our brains explode with out awesome this track is, allow us to at-least explain why.

‘Irrelevant' is the latest from singer/songwriter Abby Diamond. Their new song highlights some of Abby’s rich lyrical writing style and her smooth, angel-like voice.

Also, if you’re a fan of slow, future-like R&B, the track has a really spacey and colorful soundscape that you won’t be able to turn off. The drums are crisp and sharp and the little details throughout the production really make the track pop out to us.

And last but definitely not least, what Abby did with the visuals is both creative and inspiring. We love the direction she took color, look, and design-wise and we absolutely love the cinematography. I think you can safely consider us a fan after seeing all of this and we honestly can’t wait to see where she goes from here.

Dirtyphonics releases new song 'Scorpion' on their 10th anniversary

October 06, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Bass, Drum & Bass, EDM

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Parisian electronic trio, Dirtyphonics, released their 10th anniversary record last week ‘Scorpion’. This is a really exciting release, and not for obvious reasons. Yeah the group has been around for nearly a decade. Forging their reputation early on with remixes for Skrillex, Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, Nero, Diplo, Zeds Dead, Kaskade, which lead to their first label signing and debut album, "Irreverence" on Dim Mak Records in 2013.

But what really makes this track special, is the underlying classic drum n bass sound that started it all. We can’t get over how much of a throwback this track feels. What the group did here is absolutely incredible and if you’re a drum n bass fan at all, you’re in for a nice treat. Enjoy!

Twitter / Instagram

WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY:

"Scorpion is a throwback tune to the DNB we loved back in the late 2000’s with a contemporary approach. It’s pure raw energy and an hommage to what had inspired us in those years.”

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

For fans of trap and bass, Eskei83—German world-class DJ champion and 8-fold DJ battle winner—released an insane and flawless sounding trap tune a few days ago and we’re still buzzing off the production.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“As a DJ with a long and successful Turntablism and DJ battle background, performing my tracks live was always very important, and still is. I scratch, do work with a sampler/drum pads and use turntables. My sets stand out because I’m not just playing tunes; I actually do something during the set. Especially in EDM/bass music, it’s not very common that DJs do more than just playing tracks.”

KOPS 'Salvation' is the catchiest song you'll hear today

October 03, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electro Pop, Pop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

20-year-old multi-instrumentalist KOPS released their groovy pop tune ‘Salvation’ last week and if you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re really missing out. Not only is this release a gem for any follower of electro-pop or pop releases, but because KOPS is focusing more on his vocal delivery and vocal techniques to blend something new and exciting.

Sure we love the bouncy bass and punchy kicks but ‘Salvation’ is a burst of positivity and sunshine because of how well KOPS writes and sings. For fans of electro-pop, KOPS is making his way as the next big thing you need to know about. Don’t forget to subscribe to the artist online and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“I either spend a day or a year on one song. I love incorporating wordplays and use a childlike way to tell about love, death, depression, astronomy, and religion. To me, some of the most beautiful music in the world is the classical Hymns and that is where I get a lot of my inspiration”.

“To me it is centered around the feeling of powerlessness. When it’s always possible find someone to be with but nevertheless always feel alone. That you can feel on top of the world though still with the knowledge of being rock bottom. The feeling of knowing it all even though you just don’t get it. To feel so lonely that it seems impossible to ever be understood again”.

Like an astronaut floating aimlessly in space just waiting for the oxygen run out” - KOPS

Brika released a catchy new record last week and upon hearing it for the first time we were immediately hooked. Brika has a hypnotizing sense of power in her vocal work. A sort of blend between dark pop and R&B or electronic music. It’s an exciting track with a production style that’ll accelerate your day given the exhilarating instrumentation and melodic soundscape.

“Taxi Man was inspired by an actual cab ride I took in Miami after a night out in Brickell with my friends. I was unexpectedly given unsolicited advice from a very wise old Bahamian man. His message really impacted me in a way that brought out dormant emotions of my past. I originally recorded him talking to keep for snapchat
 But ended up using the actual recording in the song.”
