'Rocket To The Moon' is the psychedelic experience you've been looking for, stream Elephant Castle's new song here

October 13, 2021 by Gems Secrets in Acid, Pop, Psychedelic, Indie, Retro, Rock

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Elephant Castle’s new single is a must-hear. For fans of psychedelic rock, Elephant Castle’s ‘Rocket To The Moon’ delivers a jaw-dropping experience from start to finish. From the gritty, acid-like instrumentation to the dreamy, reverb drenched vocals… the new single highlights Elephant Castle’s unique and star-strutted writing style. Real name Phil Danyew, Phil is a multi-talented instrumentalist and songwriter from the band Foster The People in which he was a touring member for over 6 years before leaving the band in 2020 to pursue his own music.

Personally, we love the solo project and the records Phil is writing. They’re unique, exciting, and showcase the artist’s unique voice from top to bottom. Born and raised in Oceanside, CA, the artist has since re-located to Los Angeles, CA where we’re hoping to catch him at a local show one day. Until then, it’s safe to say we’ll be keeping a close eye on Elephant Castle’s work going forward. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think.

'Affection' by Boys Noize & ABRA out now, stream it here

October 04, 2021 by Toby Boston in Electronic, EDM, Dark

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Boys Noize teams up with ABRA for the second time ahead of the 5th studio album '+/-' (Polarity) with the dark industrial single 'Affection', fusing licks of classic dance and synths with tight contemporary production… ‘Affection’ offers a blueprint for the future sound of the club. ABRA's brooding vocals lay on top of an authentically rich instrumental, with classic drum machine rhythms and dense synth basses, with a hazy nostalgia resonating throughout the track.

“Affection is a story about realizing that the love is only one way. Love isn’t love when it’s done as a favour - it actually implies the opposite. It is two people being seen and allowing the other to see them. You shouldn’t take away someone else’s right to exercise their self love and respect out of fear of judgement or the uncomfortable truth. That’s not love and it serves no one." — ABRA

Few electronic musicians have crafted such a unique musical blueprint as Boys Noize, +/- encapsulates the rich culture of underground Berlin, blending elements of the subterranean techno and industrial house from his home country. With a Grammy win to his name and working with some of the worlds biggest acts such as A$AP Rocky, Bon Iver and Lady Gaga, Boys Noize has well and truly defined himself as one of the pioneering electronic musicians of this era.

Stream "Affection' now alongside the +/- album from Boys Noize.
