'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.

New music from Darci and BEAM out now, stream "Burn" here

July 21, 2021 by Gems Secrets in Cloud Rap, Conscious Rap, Feature, Hip-Hop, Rap, Dark

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Darci landed on our radar years ago with the release of his 2016 single titled “Come Around”. It was at that moment we knew this would be a special project. Since then, the rapper has built up an incredibly diverse discography that features a number of dark, cloud-like singles that showcase the versatility of Darci’s talent. All of which showcase their own unique features and sound palettes that could only be described as mysterious and vibrant. Which at this point clearly distinguishes the artist’s vision and writing style.

With Darci’s latest single titled “Burn”, we’re proud to to say the artist is continuing this trend of innovating as he pushes the boundaries of his own universe. “Burn” is a gentle reminder that Darci is in his own lane and there’s no one else quite like him. We’re excited to hear more from him in the coming months (obviously), but also, we will say that we can only hope to see more music videos from the artist too. With only 1 or 2 under his belt at the moment, we would love to see more of his vision on a larger scale.

In closing, there’s not much else to say when the music is this good. So, check it out for yourself and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Darci online to stay up to date and enjoy!

Listen to Heart Attack on Spotify. Silent Child · Song · 2020.

Brand new music from Silent Child, stream 'Heart Attack' here

November 24, 2020 by Gems Secrets in EDM, Electronic, Pop, R&B, Alternative, Bedroom Pop, Dark

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Atlanta based artist Silent Child — real name Rodney — is currently putting out some of the best music of his career. From the songwriting to the sound design, Silent Child has not only formulated his own unique sound but his energy and direction are bold and unmatched. It’s been exciting watching him flourish into the artist he is right now but we’re even more excited to see where he goes in the coming years. As his own writer, producer, and engineer… the potential Silent Child possesses is limitless.

“This song is about my caution for the future based on past damage. When I started making music, it began with me thinking I was a god. I would make anything and believe that it sounded amazing. A rude awakening hit when I sent my music to actual professionals and would get bombarded with destructive criticism and told to quit. That idea sunk in my head long enough for it to be a permanent feature of my personality. I almost gave up on my dreams and I’m a heavy victim of self-loathing/doubt. But I stuck with it only because I knew that one day, I wouldn’t hate myself or my music anymore”.

Check out the new single and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Silent Child online to stay up to date on his plans and enjoy!

Listen to I Can't See on Spotify. ROW · Song · 2020.

ROW and Samuel Miller team up to delivery 'I can't see', stream the new single here

November 03, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Dance, Dark, Dreamy, EDM, Electronic, House

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

His first song in over 20 years ROW returns with a beautiful, dark new single titled ‘I can’t see’. Featuring Samuel Miller on vocals this brand new dance track highlights an uplifting and poetic writing style backed by punchy house drums and a moody soundscape. We love the melodic elements but the stylization and the lyrics truly bring it all together.

We’re hoping ROW will continue to write and produce new music (without having to wait 20 years), but if not, at-least we have this gem to play out until we’re dead. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date and enjoy!

Listen to Parasite on Spotify. AWAY · Song · 2020.

AWAY, Roniit, and Crywolf team up to deliver 'Parasite', stream the new single here

October 26, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Alternative, Dark, EDM, Electronic, Feature, Experimental, Grunge

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

AWAY, Roniit, and Crywolf recently teamed up to deliver this haunting new track titled ‘Parasite’. Fueled by ominous vocals and dark instrumental undertones, ‘Parasite’ does an incredible job at unleashing a darker side within all of us. Not only did we find the new song unique in its own design but it’s safe to say it’s one of the few genre-blending records—that we’ve come across this year—that feels powerful enough to stand out on its own. Or in other words, AWAY is paving a new path for himself sonically and creatively, which ultimately, will inspire the many artists who will choose to follow him in his footsteps.

And to us, that’s something worth paying attention to.

In closing, we’re already looking forward to hearing more from AWAY, but in the meantime, we’ll just have to keep ‘Parasite’ on repeat. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date and enjoy!

It’s been awhile since we’ve covered anything within the drum & bass universe but that changes today. With the release of Reaper’s ‘Pulse’, we knew this track was gonna hit different.
