Ticketmaster Data Allegedly Stolen in Recent Data Breach

During a recent data breach involving Ticketmaster, the personal data of 560 million users worldwide was stolen by a hacker group. The group has named themselves ShinyHunters and is claiming they have access to payment details, passwords, and personal information of Ticketmaster-Live Nation users. Consumers are being warned to look out for potential signs of compromise.
Ticketmaster has not addressed or acknowledged the situation even though it may put users of the service at high risk for theft. The hackers plan on selling the data for $500,000 (USD) on an online database but many experts believe the claim is false. There is no telling if the information has been compromised until Ticketmaster puts out an official statement.
The global data breach is still being investigated by Australian officials in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). They have assessed that 1.3 Terabytes of credit card details, addresses, and names may have been exposed to the hackers. It is being suggested to hold off on logging into any Ticketmaster or Live Nation accounts because the group may still have access to the network.

French Dance Veterans Reunite Founding Fenomena, Debut Single ‘In Your Eyes’

80s nostalgia coming to your table today from the hands of masters at work.
It’s no secret that the Dance music industry is in constant change: where projects become obsolete, they give way to new sounds to arise and conquer the ears of listeners worldwide. This often happens with quote-end-quote “newcomers“, names you’ve never heard of rising to the top and innovating with modern techniques and arrangements. But how cool is it when a new project comes backed with endless experience?!
When veterans collide, exciting — and at times even more daring — pieces come to life. A fair case in point would be Of Love And Lust, which we strongly suggest you check out. But today we bring yet another living example of those experiments gone incredibly right. Meet Fenomena, a brand new act in the French Touch and Electronic-Funk scene, but evincing familiar faces.
Fenomena
Fenomena. Credit: Linda Bujoli The band is comprised of three members. For one, it features David Vincent and Nico Bogue, both established artists with extensive history at Ed Banger Records. The third member, you may ask? If the line “Love might, bring us back together” has been engraved in your head with an inseparable melody, you absolutely know who he is. Enter Benjamin Diamond, he who marked generations time and time again with his iconic participation on the vocals of Stardust’s ‘Music Sounds Better With You’.
Fenomena’s debut single, ‘In Your Eyes‘, saw the light of day not long ago. And it didn’t come alone. Anticipating how huge of a movement the band promises to become, they’ve announced they have an entire album’s worth of tracks coming your way later in the year.
‘In Your Eyes’
The first of many compositions to come as a direct result of three old friends carrying a crazy idea to fruition, ‘In Your Eyes’ is a true call to the past, and a motorway to nostalgia. Diamond’s unique voice effortlessly evokes those long-lost feelings of simpler times, all while surfing on a delicate pairing of synths and guitars. If you told me this song was released sometime between the late 70s and early 80s, I would 100% believe you.
You’ll get a warm shower of all those sounds that described the future half a century ago. The filth of the chords, the galactic guitars, the robotic vocal layers… it’s frankly a work of art. It even fades to silence at the end!
Diamond says the band’s genesis responds to “A desire to have fun, yes, but also the idea, quite quickly, to make a beautiful record, a beautiful album… A record that we want to listen to“. Bogue further explains their sound came as a well-received surprise, even to themselves: “[While] listening to the first titles, we were amazed by the modernity of the sound. Catchy melodies, obvious potential for the dancefloor, finesse of the arrangements, perfumes of Paisley Park, seventies sparks“.

Deathpact's Merciless Debut Album Unearths the Fragile Humanity Within: Listen

Even for those of us who don't feel entirely human, is there redemption for the self-aware?
That's the question posed by Deathpact in the anonymous, humanoid artist collective's long-awaited debut album, FROM DARKNESS, which hit streaming platforms today.
When we worked to unravel the puzzling world of Deathpact a few years ago, we demystified a series of riddles embedded in their Discord server, a virtual labyrinth with enough cryptic clues and ambiguous cyphers to pen another Da Vinci Code. And their vicious, cyborgian sound had fans questioning whether or not they had fuseboxes for hearts, but their new album is proof that a heartbeat not only exists, but palpitates with fragility.
Deathpact.c/o Press
FROM DARKNESS is, at its core, carnage, both musically and emotionally. It's an album that demands your full attention before dragging you into its churning vortex of bass, and for those willing to take the plunge, it offers an unforgettable experience.
But beneath Deathpact's punishing beats, a strange vulnerability flickers. Vocals, raw and desperate, writhe and pierce through the fabric of their claustrophobic production like a single defiant flower pushing through cracked asphalt.
To that end, FROM DARKNESS is much more than a mere exercise in sensory obliteration. The album forces us to confront a darkness we all face at one point or another: the primal struggle to find meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. But even at its most nihilistic, the music is laced with exquisite slivers of tormented beauty—a suggestion that solace can still be attained amidst the wreckage of our own forsaken psyches.
Look no further than "FATE," a woozy descent into spiritual ruin that finds Deathpact dancing with the devil. "I sold my soul to the devil today," they confess, words dripping with damnation over nasty trap beats. They then confront their mortality head-on in "DUST TO DUST," where they urge you to "feed your soul" like they so desperately crave for themselves.
Deathpact's humanity bubbles further to the surface in "SONG 4," one of the album's undeniable highlights. Here, anguished vocals float atop haunting electro-soul, lamenting a love's betrayal before they're snuffed out by a squelching midtempo bass drop. "Oh look what you've done to me / I thought this was real," they quaver.
Fans of Deathpact's typically merciless sound will gravitate to "MARAUDER," a dubstep banger that hilariously samples Chris Tucker's "You got knocked the f*** out, man" line from the 1995 film Friday; and "MERCURY," where riddim drops seethe like toxic sludge simmering up from a polluted swamp.
Deathpact.Brandon Densley/DNZ Media
Much like the controversial OpenAI, Deathpact's source code remains cloaked in mystery. Even after the release of their debut album, we still don't know much of anything about the collective.
But for the now-sentient Deathpact, maybe that's for the best. In moments when our innermost feelings crave to be heard, sometimes it's best to step back from the bustling world and embrace the calmness of obscurity.

Phace’s Sonic Revolution: Creating ‘Everyday’ and Embracing the New

After six long years, drum & bass titan Phace has finally returned with his latest sonic masterpiece, “Everyday.” And this far from just another album for the acclaimed producer, but a nothing short of transformative journey, reflecting personal growth and a bold sonic shift. 
Inspired by the challenges of fatherhood and a world-altering pandemic, Phace has shed genre constraints and embraced a broader musical palette. 
Join us as we delve into the creative process behind “Everyday,” exploring his evolving production techniques, his bold decision to master the album himself, and the impact of his new state-of-the-art studio. 
This is Phace, unfiltered and reinvented.
Hello Florian, congratulations on your new album “Everyday”! How long has it been coming?
Phace: Hey, Michael! Thank you! It’s hard to pin down exactly, but I’d say about two years. The whole process grew organically. I didn’t set out to make an album at first, but about a year ago, I realized the tracks I was working on belonged together. That’s when it hit me: this could be an album.
So, you got that inspirational impulse back then?
Yes, you can say that. Very often, things happen while you „walk“ or, better yet, while you progress. I’ve had the pleasure to release quite a few albums in my life, so I think I got some experience with bigger creative projects, bringing everything together in the end, tying up ends.
For „Everyday“ I ended up deciding I didn’t want to stick to just one genre, like only to drum & bass, for example. Such a more mono-dimensional idea wasn’t something I vibed with anymore, as I had done those kinds of albums before. So, to sum up, this album indeed took shape over time, also reflecting personal changes and a broader range of influences.
How have these personal changes influenced your music? Did you get to this point redefining yourself as an artist after so many albums? 
Well, yes, a lot has changed the past 6 years since I released my last long player “Between”. Especially with the pandemic and becoming a father. My daughter is four now, and my life has changed significantly over the past years. In a good way. The whole change wasn‘t and still isn‘t easy though. But we are all healthy and that is what counts. I think all these personal shifts naturally affected my music too and led to a new phase in my music „career“, yes. 
It feels like a natural process, though, and like a positive one too. Of course, there are downtimes involved too, like with everything you do. It’s all ups and down. Things can be challenging. Challenges belong to life. And music is a great channel to pack all of these emotions and feelings into.
I can hear that on the album! With all the time that has passed since your last album, did you approach production differently this time as well?
Yes and no, I always try to alter my music production methods with each project. I always try to dig for new things, and I always seek out for unusual ways to work with sonics. But I also like to work with methods and gear I have been working with for years. Things that make me feel comfortable, or confident, which I can trust, and which help me translate my ideas and solve issues that come up when working on music. 
For this album specifically, I worked in a new studio I set up at the end of 2020. A new room, a new PC, a couple of new hardware toys – a pretty fresh vibe. Also, it was the first time I had a studio outside of my apartment. It took me some time to get comfortable with the room and all the new setup. 
I also invested in new monitoring. That change specifically pushed me to try out new techniques and to listen to music differently. To also process it differently. With a new pair of ears, so to speak, aiming for a warmer, more cohesive sound.
“Everyday” as the title track really sets that stage sonically
I think so too; it feels powerful, punchy, and energetic, but not too pushed and harsh on the top end. I tried to go with this sonic aesthetic for the whole album. I wanted it to sound big and dancefloor-oriented but in a fresh and smoother way.
I actually mastered the whole album myself, which was quite a learning curve, for which I am very thankful. When I was unsure about it, I got positive feedback from other professional mastering engineers I highly rate, which reassured me. 
Mastering it myself allowed me to have it sound exactly how I wanted it to be without having to compromise a lot. It also allowed me to keep on fine-tuning all the mixes in a way that felt right for me, and the whole process also helped me to connect all the different genres on the album too.
That’s interesting, so did mastering it influence the creative process as well?
Looking back now, you can say so, but I did not plan for this initially, and the creative part in mastering is way more minimal than in writing and mixing. Mastering is more about controlling, shaping, or supporting a style that is already there. The creative process always comes before or first.
For this project, the specific workflow I ended up with was quite handy, but still intense, as I needed more time to reflect and gain objectivity. If I found something annoying in the mix while mastering, I simply went back to the mix and fixed that element or part. 
This back-and-forth process again helped me learn a lot about my sound and how to improve it. Even though there never is perfection. It’s a moving target.
Ultimately, mastering is about those small final tweaks, and I believe a good mix doesn’t need much mastering these days. All the technology, knowledge and tools are out there and accessible to anyone interested in. It’s not magic anymore, in my opinion.
And how did the new studio setup impact your work precisely?
One of the things that made a big difference was the new monitoring system I got. To me, this upgrade was a game-changer. I am using Kii Audio’s monitoring solution, and to me, it is like having magnifying glasses for sound—a tool I can trust, allowing me to make precise and fast decisions without the room’s acoustics interfering too much. 
I can focus on the vibe and not keep guessing about the quality of the sonics. You can say that this setup helped me shape the warm and big sound I wanted for the album.
Are you generally planning to explore more genres in the future, as you did on the LP?
I don’t specifically plan such things in detail, to be honest. I am not sure if that is a wise thing to do or not, from a business point of view. I literally just make the music I enjoy listening to myself. Likewise, I try to make sense of certain sounds and styles; I try to figure out what I like, why I like it, and how to put it on paper. And eventually, things come together in the end. 
This album happened organically while I was experimenting in the studio. I’m not really aiming to define my career by specific genres; I’m focused on what feels right at the moment. I always have been and probably always will. But never say never, maybe I end up doing “just” Techno one day It’s all unwritten still.
What’s your take on the music industry and planning a career in it?
That is a big question. I think it’s about doing cool shit at the right time and being the right artist with the right vision, style, branding, and also having the right network or people around you. It comes down to so many factors to have a career. Planning it can work for some, but I don’t believe success in music is really something you can plan. 
For me personally, it’s more about the process, about staying happy with what I do. I don’t expect success with what I do; I am not in for the fame; I try to focus on the actual process and making the best music I can to feel good about myself. 
Of course, I have family, so I do have responsibilities to them and also to myself. But the business side of things was never a driver to create. If others like my music, I see this as a real benefit, and it makes me happy. Again, I am very thankful to be able to make a living of my art in this mainly capitalistic-driven system we are caught in.
And in terms of performing, are you touring with “Everyday” this summer?
Yes, I’ve already played a few shows under the “album banner”. I have some more gigs and festival appearances lined up throughout the summer, and we are working on adding more shows for the rest of the year. 
I’m also considering returning to the American market and to Australia and New Zealand, but only if there’s enough demand and if it makes sense. The event market is tough these days, so I sort of wait and see how things evolve. I have been touring so much worldwide over the past years. I love playing out still, it has to feel right, though.
Now that the album is out, when you are looking back on it musically, would you change anything about it?
Actually, not; I’m happy with it as it is. This is the first time I feel very satisfied with an album; at least that is how I feel about it right now. That might change in a few weeks, maybe it doesn’t. My opinions are often transforming fast. 
In the past, I often felt like I could have done more or better with more time or more of this and that, but not with this one, I think. I’m pretty happy and confident about it, and I believe it’s actually my best work to date.
You just had faith and let the process take over, so to speak
Yes, sort of. It felt good all over because I didn’t really push it. Don’t get me wrong, it was also mad to write it on some sessions. So, it wasn’t an all-smooth delivery. But I tried to let everything evolve at its own pace; I didn’t really have a timeframe or a goal. 
At some point, when I figured out which label was going to release it, it felt more like work to finish it properly. But that is also part of the process for such bigger projects. Up until that point, it mainly felt like one big jam.
With all the years you have worked in music and all the knowledge you must have gained; I saw you opened a Patreon start of 2020. How has that experience been?
It really has been a very cool one. I did not see that coming, but mentoring young producers helped me understand my own process better. Explaining my techniques to others made me reflect on and improve my production methods. This album reflects that growth too. I am very thankful for that and to have such a loyal Patreon community, which literally helps and supports me to be able to keep working on music every day.
Any advice for producers dealing with things such as writer’s block or not forcing things too much?
Most importantly: do something that makes you happy in the first place. If you create something that makes you happy, it usually comes across as authentic and is an enjoyable process. If you want to force something, maybe even try to fulfil someone else’s vision, you usually run into writer’s block faster.

Listen to Kygo and Hayla's Smoldering Dance Anthem, "Without You"

Kygo and Hayla pour their souls into "Without You," one of the year's biggest collaborations in dance music.
An ecstatic ode to romance's spellbinding power, the impassioned track marries tortured lyricism with sleekly smoldering dance grooves. The summertime anthem arrives ahead of Kygo's new self-titled album and world tour, which will see Hayla deliver supporting performances in a handful of major cities across the globe.
With lines like, "Our soul is a fire and your kisses feed the flames," Hayla's evocative lyricism doesn't just bleed—it hemorrhages. That visceral imagery gives way to spiritual yet earthy metaphors, likening a magnetic attraction to the moon's irresistible gravitational pull: "Just like the moon that pulls away," she sings, "I'm only moved by your embrace."
This celestial devotion finds its crescendo in the track's sublime drop, where the energy of Kygo's euphoric production meets its match as Hayla's vocals plunge deeper into the depths of infatuation. To that end, "Without You" is a song that will have countless festival-goers swaying under the moonlight, longing for that connection that makes the world complete—and wondering whether they're a mere stage away.

Decadon releases 20-track bass-rock fusion album ‘Lovely Destruction’

Las Vegas-based artist Decadon, originally from Denver, Colorado, unveils his debut full-length album “Lovely Destruction,” a deeply personal 20-track odyssey that blends his rock music roots with dubstep and melodic bass.
Known offstage as Donnie Miller, Decadon is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist whose fusion of rock’s raw energy with bass music’s pulsating rhythms has earned support from industry heavyweights like The Chainsmokers, Excision, and Diplo.
His magnum opus, ‘Lovely Destruction’ was meticulously crafted over nearly three years following the death of his father in 2020. The album, which began as a therapeutic project and a way for him to cope with his loss, reflects Decadon’s emotional journey and commitment to honoring his father’s memory through music. It opens with the ominous “Fragile State of Mind,” moves through the punk-rock, bass-infused “My Ever After,” and concludes with the healing tones of “Save Me.” His live performances are a spectacle, combining DJing with live guitar to create an electrifying experience. The significance of “Lovely Destruction” lies in its ability to convey both beauty and pain, reflecting Decadon’s resilience and creativity. Fans can expect an album where beauty and destruction intertwine, showcasing Decadon’s intricate craftsmanship and raw emotion, and highlighting the power of music to heal and connect deeply with listeners.
Reflecting on the album, Decadon shares, “This body of work is extremely important to me because it was something my father and I talked about putting together for years. I always wanted my debut album to really show both sides of the music I love. There’s beauty in destruction, even though it’s tougher to see, it’s there.” He adds, “This album started as a collection of a few songs I had written very soon after losing my father in 2020. It was my therapy, and then as the music started to flow more and build upon one another, I started seeing a body of work forming.”

Otherworldly Bass Manifests in CANVAS' New Single, "Unknown Number": Listen

Diving headfirst into the exploratory realms of left-field bass music, CANVAS has dropped a new single, "Unknown Number."
The track throbs with both wonky and melodic sounds, marrying deep bass with hypnotic vocals to induce goosebumps. Painting an emotionally charged soundscape, CANVAS, who's gearing up for a landmark festival set at Nashville's Deep Tropics this summer, effortlessly weaves both dark and light elements into "Unknown Number." 
The psychedelic song kicks off with a phone's eerie dial tone before a soft, enticing vocal refrain melts into an all-encompassing bassline. Meanwhile, CANVAS' production brims with emotion and depth.
"'Unknown Number' is about that inner call that can’t be ignored," she said in a press release. "The call that is unique to you, ringing indefinitely and growing in persistence until answered. It’s timeless. For me, that call has always been to create music. To create sonically-driven experiences that express the visceral nature of the human condition."
With previous releases on Deep, Dark & Dangerous and CloZee's OdyZey, among other labels, the Zimbabwean producer has a bright future in bass music. Out now, "Unknown Number" is a testament to that unrelenting vision.

Anderson .Paak, Fred again.. and CHIKA Join Forces for Genre-Bending Track, "places to be"

A dream collaboration has taken shape in "places to be," a new single released by Fred again.. and Anderson .Paak.
A masterclass in dissonance, the track is a meeting of the minds that feels like watching a wave crash perfectly—unexpected, yet undeniably cool.
Alabama rapper CHIKA features on "places to be," wherein Fred lays down a foundation of frenetic breakbeats underneath sultry lounge synths. This frantic energy collides head-on with the velveteen vibes of Paak's smooth delivery, creating a compelling contrast.
A commentary on the seductive power of distraction, his vocals crackle with bravado at times but hang heavy in the air at others. Paak has always been a master at exploring the depths of conflicting emotions with his lyrics, and his latest effort is as masterful as ever.
In other Fred again.. news, the British superstar recently performed a surprise set at EDC Las Vegas, one of the world's largest and most popular electronic dance music festivals. He's also stayed busy in the studio, releasing "stayinit," a collaboration with Lil Yachty and Overmono; and "BerwynGesaffNeighbours," an official rework of Gesaffelstein's "Destinations."

Following the success of their recent hit “Let You Down” with Gabry Ponte and Sofiloud, DVBBS is poised to dominate the festival season with “Warmth.”
Since their explosive entry into the electronic music scene with hits like “Tsunami” and “Not Going Home,” DVBBS have been main stage staples for over a decade. Their signature sound has become synonymous with festivals worldwide. Known for their high-energy performances and ability to collaborate with talents like blackbear and Galantis, DVBBS continues to redefine their sound and in tturn the dance music landscape.

This Week on Tomorrowland Music (and Core Records): May 2024

The summer festival season is just getting fired up, and Tomorrowland’s labels have been coming through with some certifiable heaters to get the party started. Let’s dive into the latest releases that’ll be ringing off in the fields and airwaves very soon.
Goodboys and Chain Reaction
First up, we’ve got the hugely anticipated return of UK house music duo Goodboys to the Tomorrowland Music imprint. These lads have been relatively quiet over the last couple years, but they’ve re-emerged with an absolute belter called “Chain Reaction.”
If you’re familiar with Goodboys’ style, you’ll know they always bring those chunky, energy-packed grooves with earworm vocals and melodies. “Chain Reaction” doesn’t disappoint on that front.
From the first pulsating kick drum, you get that sense of euphoria that only Goodboys can conjure up. The filtered vocals have a nostalgic, almost trance-like quality as they deliver lyrics about the dizzy rush of new love – “The way you make me feel, a chain reaction.”

As the energy builds through the breakdowns, you can already envision the hands in the air and eyes rolled back in pure bliss when this one drops live.
The Goodboys guys told us they’ve been testing “Chain Reaction” in their shows recently, and crowds are going suitably mental for it. They intentionally crafted it to be a real set-piece banger for their summer festival runs.
Of course, their debut at the fabled Tomorrowland stages is definitely a highlight they’re buzzing for. All I can say is get ready for an explosion of pure pumping house ecstasy when they unleash this beast in Belgium!
CORE welcomes Cellini
Staying on the Tomorrowland Music’s boutique label CORE, we’ve got a really cool new single from the mysterious artist Cellini. Having built a solid rep with his fresh take on blending electronic styles with traditional Mediterranean and African influences, Cellini’s latest is called “Terril” and it’s a beautiful, atmospheric yet hard-hitting number.
For this one, Cellini teamed up with Moroccan singer Simo Lagnawi to create a hypnotic, culturally-fused journey drawing on ancient Gnawa melodies and rhythms from Cellini’s Italian-Belgian roots.

As those trancey vocal lines weave around the stuttering hand drum patterns, you can just feel the sense of longing for one’s homeland and desire to connect with your cultural origins.
It has that magical, almost mystical quality that Cellini has mastered in his productions.
According to Cellini, growing up in a coal mining community in Belgium, he was surrounded by the traditional folk music of Greek, Italian, Turkish and Moroccan immigrants who had that deep yearning for their home countries.
With “Terril,” he wanted to capture that vibe and fuse it with Simo’s African Gnawa heritage for a totally refreshing, cross-cultural dancefloor experience. Consider me fully absorbed and transported!
Andromedik
Last but not least, we’ve got an absolute summer raver from the meteoric Belgian drum ‘n’ bass sensation Andromedik. Having already racked up millions of streams on bangers like “Forever” and his huge collab with Lost Frequencies, Andromedik is going stratospheric. His new single “Bleed The Same” is about to set this festival season fully ablaze.
Teaming up with Dutch singer RANI, “Bleed The Same” is just pure dancefloor dynamite from the jump. Those nursery rhyme-style vocal hooks are going to be stuck in your brain for weeks. But it’s the sheer relentless energy of those pounding neuro bass lines and ripped beats that’ll have you heaving and wilding out nonstop.
Andromedik has this knack for walking the line between cutting-edge sound design and maximum peaktime rave euphoria. Whether it’s the warping, grinding growls of the synths or those addictive two-step drum patterns, every element is purpose-built for uninhibited dancefloor mayhem.

We can only imagine the sweat-drenched, bass-faced pandemonium when this one detonates at the festivals and raves he’s hitting up.
Speaking of which, this guy’s rapidly rising stock is about to reach new heights.
He recently sold out back-to-back nights for his “Andromedik Invites” concept in Antwerp, and he’s got a 9-hour rave marathon booked there in November. But the crowning moment might be hosting his own stage at Tomorrowland for the first time this July! Absolutely mental stuff.
Andromedik See you at Tomorrowland 2024
So there you have it – three monster releases from Tomorrowland Music to amp you up for summer.
Our advice? Gas up the crew, get flexible, and brace yourselves for absolute insanity when these anthems start doing the rounds!

Tenuous Is Reigniting Australian Trap With Latest EP, JUMP / Through The Night

Listen to a terrific EP we recently came across.
Just in time for your weekend ahead, we’re really excited to share a double-A-sider that may just go on to become the soundtrack of your next days. Are you a fan of all things Trap? Aussie Trap perhaps? Curious about what it sounds like? Meet Tenuous.
Tenuous
Hailing from The Land Down Under, Brisbane-based Enoch Mooy, known in the business as Tenuous, is a Bass and Trap producer and keyboardist, on a mission to shine a light on a much-deserved part of the local musical spectrum. He says it’s “challenging yet rewarding” to be a part of the re-emerging Trap scene in Australia.
His focus leans towards Trap and other 140-BPM-tangential genres, with a driving emphasis on melodic and Bass-heavy grooves. What makes him stand out from the norm is the use of modern, custom-built synths he brings to his live performances to add that extra spice to each piece. So far, he’s shared the stage with acts such as Doctor P and MUSTD!E, and he’s firing up the engines for his next gig on June 14th.
JUMP / Through The Night
Mooy is, quite frankly, not only reigniting the genre’s presence in Australia, but also the industry as a whole through the sounds of his latest EP, JUMP / Through The Night. The release, comprised of the two aforementioned tracks, rocks a minimalistic nature, in which every element matters. You might know that’s a make-it-or-break-it situation, and, well, he aced it.
While ‘JUMP’ contains a dark atmosphere, with groovy elements that all add levels of heat to the beat underlying, and counts with an electric guitar solo halfway through, ‘Through The Night’ — a conjoint effort alongside Sydney producer and DJ Gemunji — showcases a heavy Trap beat filled with several textures that give the piece a unique Arab/mysterious vibe.
Listen to Tenuous’ JUMP / Through The Night in full by clicking the Spotify button we’ve provided. Also, be sure to follow him on his socials. And don’t forget to stay tuned to our page for the latest news and reviews from our beloved EDM industry.
