ABOUT THE ARTIST:

20 year old Australian artist Max Byrne, aka Golden Vessel rising from Brisbane, Australia, releases his latest record ‘BIGBRIGHT’ featuring friends Elkkle, E^ST & DUCKWRTH via Ultra Records. Some kicking off in 2015, Golden Vessel has kept consistency in the quality and intensity of his music.

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Where to begin… well, firsts things first, the visuals for Golden Vessel’s ‘BIGBRIGHT’ are breathtaking! I’m absolutely in love with the artwork, the psychedelic habits, and the uplifting harmony that radiates off the instrumentation.

‘BIGBRIGHT’ is a fun and groovy track and if you’re looking for something to pick you up during that mid-day slump, well, you came to the right place. Pay attention to the details of the instrumentation while you kick back and let the artist do what they do best. Enjoy!

VCATION, the brain behind some of your favorite dance music releases such as Swedish House Mafia’s ‘Don’t You Worry Child’ or ‘Save The World’— the songwriters are behind some of the biggest dance hits in the last decade. Artists like Martin Garrix, Tiesto, David Guetta, and Avicii.

‘When We Were Gold’ is an exciting new track that thrives off of classic dance music sound design with a blend of melodic pop production and flawless instrumentation. It’s honestly insane how catchy this song is and how much it’ll grow on you.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“When We Were Gold” is like a nostalgic postcard from golden times. You know how old memories often fade, until only the shimmer is what’s left? That’s what we wanted to capture”

“The song - which actually was written on a grand piano in a large, empty concert hall - is inspired by late 90’s and early 00’s sounds, acts like Faithless. We wanted to embody that nostalgic vibe with trance-like influences and an energetic dance atmosphere.”

Hodgy and Alvin Risk present their new project HA O.P.E.N. The first song from the HA catalog Listen on all platforms: https://stem.lnk.to/OPEN Follow HA @HA_universe Follow Hodgy IG @monkmiyagi FB @hodgymiyagi Follow Alvin Risk @alvinrisk

We're obsessed with this new Hodgy & Alvin Risk project 'HA'—Listen to their brand new single 'O.P.E.N.' here

September 24, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Hip-Hop, Electronic

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

So it’s worth mentioning we were really excited to see Alvin Risk’s name pop up on our timeline last week. We were following the artist back in 2012 and sorta lost contact as we were preoccupied with other matters.. but nonetheless, it was a big deal when we saw the producer was teaming up with lyricist and hip-hop artist Hodgy. Their new collaborative project titled ‘HA’ explores a fun and catchy nu-hip-hop/R&B styled track with a creative direction worth your attention.

In contrast, it’s a pretty big difference from what Alvin was creating back in the day but the blend of styles from the two artist’s are unmatched. It’s an exciting new project with a really great sound and we can’t wait to see where the project goes in the coming months. If you like the new track, be sure to subscribe, like, and enjoy!

You're going to love this new Kyan Palmer & Aire Atlantica collab 'Five Night Stand'

September 22, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, Pop, R&B

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Aire Atlantica released a gem this week featuring pop-vocalist Kyan Palmer and it’s absolutely amazing.

The two collaborate on a slower future-R&B styled track titled, ‘Five Night Stand’. Not only did we feel like it was some of Palmer’s best vocal-work yet, but on top of that, we couldn’t get over how catchy the instrumentation is.

Aire Atlantica brings a refreshing and youthful energy to his music that leaves you wanting more and more after every listen. If you’re looking for something to kick-back to and you don’t mind getting in your feelings… you’ll LOVE Kyan Palmer’s lyrical-imagery and sultry-like vocals. Pair that with Aire Atlantica’s light and melodic production style and you might just discover your new favorite song.

Feeling hooked already? Go ahead and check out the rest of the ‘Etiquette’ EP here.

Don’t forget to subscribe and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"Etiquette is a project that was created during my time living in California in the first half of 2018, and I feel like each song recreates moments in time and things that I learned along the way... In terms of this project, the songs were created while growing and refining with other musicians and sharing a love for a specific art... Each one conveys a different emotion, but all blend together and that's what helped the project come to represent this period in my life."

Govi shares brand new remix of asal hazel's 'usayudo'

September 22, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, House, EDM, Remix

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Govi shared their remix of asal hazel’s ‘usayudo’ with us just this last week and upon hearing it for the first time we immediately fell in love.

We’ve been fans of Govi’s production style for awhile now and we do say so proudly. Since landing on our radar, the producer continues to amaze us with each and every release—due to his infectiously catchy melodies and heart-throbbing vocal sampling techniques, Govi’s music is as fresh and as exciting as it can possibly get. Nonetheless, Govi maintains a level of simplicity in his music that gives it a polished and calm energy that you’ll never want to turn off.

For fans of deep-house or chill-out, Govi’s latest will have you feeling great in no time.

September 21, 2018 by Gems Secrets in EDM, Electronic, Experimental, Bass, Breaks

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

It’s a unique blend of sounds, both new and old, and carries in-a-way, a very retro, and ultimately exciting style. Boyz Noize is one of those special artists who really digs deep into breaking boundaries and often popularizes industrial and gritty sounds into his work.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“Being a 90’s kid, I kind of grew up with this song which later became one of these tunes I’d play out at the end of the night. When I met Steven and heard his voice for the first time I immediately thought of that track and the idea of doing a cover version was born. It was initially just for fun, but it turned banging and lit the dance-floors wherever I’d drop it - so here I am sharing my industrial KILLER.”

ODESZA's 'Loyal' is a must hear 🔥

September 20, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, EDM, Trap, Bass

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

It’s finally here, the duo has been teasing the release of ‘Loyal’ for what feels like forever and yet it feels like the excitement has just begun.

‘Loyal’ has achieved a cult following among ODESZA fans who have speculated the name of the song and its origin, and have traded bootleg recordings around the Internet for years.



In their latest release, ODESZA embrace the gritty, curb-stomping energy of bass music. Inner-channeling their Trap-style like production, the duo deliver waves of intensity fueled by brass horns and tribal-like-sounds. A nice contrast and follow up to their Grammy-nominated album ‘A Moment Apart’ released just over a year ago.

Let us know what you think of the new release and if you’re eager to hear more. Don’t forget to subscribe and enjoy!
