We love this new dance track from Maurice Lessing, stream "Deeper" here

February 04, 2022 by Toby Boston in House

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Maurice Lessing's dark and subtle new single “Deeper”—released via Don Diablo's “HEXAGON” imprint takes us on a retro journey through space. Boasting Deadmau5-reminiscent chords, noisy synth leads and a moody atmosphere from beginning to end are infectious. The upcoming artist crafts a clean and clinical future house and deep house cross-over, with unique, angular sound design elements and an understated and spacey production.

“Deeper” feels like the backdrop to an exploration of space on a ship flying light-speed, with a lighthearted yet dark and emotive attitude, Maurice Lessing manages to sound how retro-futurism feels, finding the perfect intersection between nostalgic, retro house elements and a futuristic, out-of-this-world sound. Go ahead and check it out and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Maurice Lessing online to stay up to date and enjoy!

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Restless Modern’s recently released single “On and On” deserves some love this week. The infectious and brilliant pop song delivers an energetic performance with some of our favorite riffs and melodies we’ve heard in weeks. But don’t let the glittery pop production distract you from the dark and deeply troubled lyrics. Something we felt highlighted the brilliance behind the entire track and its double meanings.

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

BRÍET is no stranger to the Gems & Secrets platform. Her ability to convey such complex emotions and heartfelt messages has left stunned time and time again. Which is why we’re thrilled to share her latest work with you today. Titled “Cold Feet”, this is what BRÍET has to say about her new song;

“I recorded the song about three years ago and shot the video on the shortest day of the year 2019.” Bríet says and adds “the memory of sitting in an ice cold glass box for four hours definitely is a moment I won't easily forget.” The song and the video was scheduled to be released earlier but then life happened and Bríet decided to follow her own flow as heartbreak took over,  Bríet explains, as she wrote a whole Icelandic album about that which was released in October 2020. “And here we are three years later and finally the song is out.”

“Cold Feet” is an emotional rollercoaster. The lyrics, the delivery, the double meanings… what’s not to enjoy? Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with BRÍET online to stay up to date and enjoy!
