Rinzen Releases Final Single ‘Déjà Vu’ ft. Molly Moonwater
Rinzen’s releases ‘Déjà Vu’ third single from his anticipated debut album Bend To The Light on This Never Happened. Get ready to enjoy this sci-fi track with the dark and enchanting vocals of Molly Moonwater. ‘Déjà Vu’ Picture credit – Annie Noelker Did you recognize this track? Lane 8, the boss of This Never Happened, featured it in his mixtape that was released last week. ‘Déjà Vu’ is the final release by Rinzen before his album drops on TNH on April 5th. The song begins with Moonwater’s upbeat voice along with glissando bass notes, creating an ominous vibe, and Rinzen incorporates a chunky synth melody. Sundius’ sci-fi concept is once again portrayed through this track, bringing out a contrasting theme of harsh reality and hopeful intention. Rinzen highlights his choice of collaboration with Molly Moonwater or known as her indie/alt moniker Sophie Bel. ‘Molly Moonwater’s original demo of ‘Déjà Vu’ was very slow and felt like a ‘90s ballad, but I was enchanted by her vocal. I sped up the song to 120 BPM and added a chugging bassline and suddenly it took on this entire new life. Once I figured out the synth melody, I knew it was going to be a key song on the album Rinzen Lane 8 dropped his first seasonal mixtape of 2024 last week. It was almost three hours of pure bliss that included three brand new tracks from Rinzen’s upcoming album. So now fans have heard more than half the album and I must say I am super excited for this treasure to be added onto the accolades of TNH. Get ready for an epic release and catch him play live this Spring. He will be supporting Sultan & Shepard’s live tour in Toronto on April 19. An all night long show at Sound LA on May 4th, Newspeak Montreal on May 17th an extended set. He will also be at We Belong Here Festival in NYC on May 24th. Pre save Bend To The Light here.

Watch the Legendary Skream and Flowdan's Entire Boiler Room Performance in Liverpool
The pain of missing a rare set is a lot easier to manage thanks to Boiler Room. Earlier in the year, the legendary Skream and Flowdan took the stage at the brand's massive Liverpool outing for a show to remember. Now, their complete set has been shared for all to enjoy. In the recording you can hear Skream and Flowdan, who have been friends since they were teenagers, throw down iconic tracks from their storied careers as well as new releases from some of the most exciting young artists in bass music. As one would expect from this duo, the selections were on-point, so much so that only minutes in, Flowdan had to politely ask Skream to reload only once per four songs. Skream, of course, hilariously responded with a reload just seconds later before taking to X to acknowledge his antics. Yes there’s too many reloads….. 😂 https://t.co/DIhePCtCPf — Oliver Jones (@I_Skream) March 21, 2024 Skream has been on a tear with many recent high-profile show announcements. Later this year he'll go open-to-close for four nights in Denver with his longtime friends and fellow electronic music trailblazers Benga and SGT Pokes. He'll also join Benga on stage at Coachella and Lollapalooza this festival season. Flowdan, on the other hand, closed out an industry-shaking 2023 with a Grammy win for "Rumble," his global hit collaboration with Fred again.. and Skrillex. He was also named on EDM.com's list of the year's best electronic music artists. You can watch Skream and Flowdan's complete set from Boiler Room: Liverpool below.

Look Inside a Secret "Farmer's Market for Ravers" Hosted by Dirtybird
Leave it to the madcap minds behind Dirtybird to think of yet another event to redefine the rave. Last month, the beloved dance label curated a "farmer's market for ravers." Hidden deep in a secret location in downtown Los Angeles' Arts District, the event helped usher in 2024 after Dirtybird soared to new heights last year. Dirtybird implemented a number of unique experiences at the rare "farmer's market," including a Michelada stand, vinyl shop and even a pop-up tattoo parlor, Label Manager Deron Delgado told EDM.com. It was truly a one-of-a-kind night, considering vendor hubs in the music scene are more often than not relegated to the backdrop of festivals. While attendees made their rounds through the event, house music filled the area. Channeling the intimate feel of a DIY bloghouse rave, Ardalan, Mary Droppinz, Shiba San and more played DJ sets throughout the night. Check out photos from Dirtybird's "farmer's market for ravers" below.

James Blake Launches New Music Platform, Vault, to Address Streaming Inequity for Artists
After taking a stand against streaming inequities for artists in today's streaming landscape, James Blake is taking his passion a step further after announcing the launch of Vault, a new platform to share unreleased music with fans via a subscription service. Vault, Blake says, is a platform for artists to "make money directly from the music they make" by enabling them to cut out intermediaries and avoid contracts that often prevent them from releasing their music. It's also a workaround to record labels who take the lion's share of royalties of songs and social media platforms like TikTok, which he said "doesn't pay properly." If we want quality music somebody is gonna have to pay for it. Streaming services don’t pay properly, labels want a bigger cut than ever and just sit and wait for you to go viral, TikTok doesn’t pay properly, and touring is getting prohibitively expensive for most artists. — James Blake (@jamesblake) March 3, 2024 "About a week ago I went viral with a post about the effects of streaming and TikTok on artists' ability to support themselves," Blake said in a video he shared prior to the platform's launch. "I wanted to give you some figures. This is how much artists make out of streaming: Between $0.0003 and $0.0005 per stream depending on that platform. Which is one million plays equals $3,000. If you're signed to a label, then imagine that number's cut at least 50%. And after management cut, which is between 15 to 20%, and taxes and recording overheads, it's just not sustainable for an artist to focus just on their art." Blake also hopes Vault will remove some of the red tape around releasing music and eliminate the need to develop TikTok campaigns to earn recognition. The goal is to redirect musicians' focus back onto their art rather than forcing them to relinquish their time and creativity in favor of exhaustive—and oftentimes fruitless—marketing. "Most musicians are not extroverts who are social media and branding geniuses, least of all me. And I wanted to find a way for musicians to make money directly from the music they make, not least to be able to reinvest in the very expensive process of renting studios, hiring musicians, etc.," he continued. "I've spoken to a lot of artists who feel frustrated that so much great music goes unreleased because it doesn’t meet certain requirements or trends." Check out Blake's announcement below and find out more about Vault here. Ok, so for the first time I’m going to be releasing from my vault of unreleased music We are launching @vaultdotfm to show music has inherent value beyond just exposure Subscribe to unlock 👇 pic.twitter.com/pIic7Ef47G — James Blake (@jamesblake) March 20, 2024 FOLLOW JAMES BLAKE:Facebook: facebook.com/jamesblakemusic X: x.com/jamesblake Instagram: instagram.com/jamesblake Spotify: spoti.fi/30HCwq9

Barkin Drops First Release of 2024 With ‘Touch Me’
Barkin presents his first release of 2024 with a new sound. ‘Touch Me’ represents a new direction for the New York artist. The record is faster than his previous releases at 134 BPM. It is Techno–esque while staying true to his signature house sound. Barkin always brings the energy to each track and ‘Touch Me’ is no different. It features sultry and inviting female vocals. As energy begins to rise our ears get hints of the coming drop. “Touch me right here and I like it right there” are the final vocals before a massive drop. Huge horns and a groovy thick bassline take control of our bodies. The Kick and Sub are expertly crafted and bonded for the club setting. The track continues to evolve as it progresses with an even more tension–filled break and build. The 2nd drop stays true to the 1st but with even more ear candy and tingling effects. Barkin had this to say about the record: “I created the lyrics for this track during the pandemic. My girlfriend and I came up with them and we would just joke around and say them all the time. Eventually, I decided it was time to make it into a real track and I am so happy with the result. “ Make sure to check out ‘Touch Me’ below!

Studio Survival: Burr Oak
Roland Juno 10 Burr Oak let us know what they can’t live without in the studio. We had the privilege of having this classic hardware synth in the studio for several years thanks to a friend of Julien’s, and this iconic piece of hardware has become an integral part of our music-making process, infusing our tracks with its distinctive melancholic and emotive synth tones. What we love about this synth, like many vintage hardware synths, is how its sound evolves over time. Even more so with the background noise becoming more prominent. It’s something we utilized extensively to breathe life into our synth leads, often resampling our presets. We even incorporated the background noises into our special noise folder for creating snares or hats. It’s a very simple and easy-to-use synth, yet it possesses its own signature sounds, perfect for infusing our productions with retro emotional feelings. Nowadays, we primarily use an emulation of the Juno 60 (which closely resembles the 106) called Tal-U-No-LX. It’s easier to use as we primarily work in-the-box now, and its influence can be heard throughout our music.

Listen to Ghost In Real Life's Unapologetic Single "You Can't Tell Me What To Do"
Ghost In Real Life has released her most defiant single yet, a drum & bass heater called "YCTMWTD (You Can’t Tell Me What To Do)." Out now amid Women's History Month, the track highlights Ghost In Real Life's diverse musical background. The track is a pop-punk-influenced joy ride, forgoing the traditional structure of drum & bass. The halftime-inspired drops are filled with rumbling percussion and winding synths, hypnotizing while an earworm of a vocal ebbs and flows. The recent wave of Ghost In Real Life's production has heavily leaned drum & bass, from her collaborative effort with Slippy "Youth" to her first single of 2024 "Stuck In Purgatory." Her latest single isn't the only thing she's done to support women recently after releasing a limited merch collection, with 50% of proceeds benefitting Girls Make Beats. Ghost In Real Life was also recently announced as direct support for Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock and 1991's upcoming sold-out show at the Hollywood Palladium on March 30th. You can listen to "YCTMWTD" below.

Mix of the Week – Dosem
Truesoul · TSS012 – Truesoul Sounds – DOSEM Mix from Spain This week we head to Spain with an industry legend – Dosem, who recorded for Truesoul monthly mix series Fusing over a decade of mastering his craft in the studio, along with an unmatched touring pedigree across some of the world’s leading clubbing brands, his fusion of deep textured sounds and driving percussion grooves have driven him to become one of the most influential Spanish artists in the scene. Honing his craft since 2008 with a string of releases on imprints such as Christian Smith’s Tronic, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, Slam’s Soma Records and John Digweed’s seminal Bedrock, Dosem’s journey through the underground landscape has been catapulted by a thirst for delivering forward-thinking groove materials of the highest calibre. With his debut album ‘Parallel’ on Sino bursting him onto the scene showcasing his rich fusion of atmospheric Techno, his musical pallet has gone from strength to strength, with the following albums ‘Origin’ on Tronic and Vicious Magazine’s ‘Album Of The Year’ ‘City Cuts’ on Suara unveiling his diverse approach to building expertly designed dancefloor cuts, while also leading to the coveted spot as one of Beatport’s Top 5 techno artists in 2014. With a versatile sound which is as dynamic as it is forward thinking and with stellar remix duties on Hot Since 82’s ‘Planes & Trains’, which reached #1 on Beatport’s Techno chart, to working his deep house magic on Umek & Mike Vale’s ‘All I Want’, which hit #1 in Beatport’s deep house chart, his ability to cross between different styles of house & techno has led him to work with some of the industries most respected talents. As an artist whose talent for production is of world-class appeal, so too is his ability to hold down the top-tier dancefloors of the world’s best clubs and festivals. Little surprise then that Dosem’s tour schedule has escalated year after year. Highlights in 2015 such as his ‘City Cuts’ Worldwide album tour bolstered his international profile, alongside warming up for The Chemical Brothers at one of the finest events in the dance music calendar Sónar, on top of stellar performances at festivals like Ultra Miami, We Are FSTVL and Ultra Europe, as well as a and a 4 year residency at Ibiza’s Blue Marlin. Reaching new soundscapes worldwide with a strong touring presence with his Houstrike brand in Japan with parties at Womb (Tokyo), Osaka and Nagoya, as well as a continued presence across the US with shows through LA, Miami, New York, Chicago and Detroit, his relentless schedule has signalled his sound far and wide across the dance music calendar. Delving deeper into 2015 with his remix of N.Y.’s Finest ‘Do You Feel Me’ which stormed straight to the top of the Beatport charts with a piano-driven, tech house roller adding a fresh dynamic to the 90’s NY house classic, to 2016’s Beatport #1 remix of Mat Joe’s ‘Nighthawk’ melding together more deep grooves and synth work. Dosem’s recent output continues to reach further towards elite territory. That same year also saw Dosem introduce his original work ‘Projection’ on Toolroom Records, putting forward a jacking house groove and building on his refined and perfected ability to construct percussion built for dominating the dancefloor. Reaching new highs in 2017, Dosem made his Boiler Room debut under the arches of the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia in his home town of Girona. On the road, his diary was littered with high-profiled shows that included Resistance Ibiza, Ultra Miami and Tomorrowland, whilst out of the studio he continued to put forward his sound in new, exciting directions. Delivering a selection of singles and remixes via imprints such as Houstrike, Octopus Records, Stereo Productions, Toolroom, Incorrect and Tronic, just to name a few. Stepping into 2018 having spent the latter part of 2017 buried away in the studio, it’s fair to say that Dosem is armed and ready to bring a slew of creative output to the table. One of his immediate projects is the development of his Houstrike brand, which has become his multimedia lab for exploring deeper and darker sounds. Ever seeking musical versatility, Dosem plans to enrich Houstrike with a flourishing stream of new output. Further studio activity will see Dosem deliver a cluster of new music on a selection of labels that include Stereo Productions, Toolroom and Anjuna Deep. Whilst away from the studio his movements across the year and back on the road include a run of globetrotting adventures that will see Dosem headline parties in Europe, and North and South America. A turning point has occurred in recent years thanks to its releases on the renowned Anjunadeep label, which consolidated him as one of the Melodic Techno most demanded profiles in the international club and festival circuit. Releases such as ‘All Locations’, ‘Stay True’ and ‘Extraction’ occupy the first positions on the world charts alongside epic Remixes of ‘1998’ by Binary Finary, ‘Air For Life’ by Above & Beyond & Andy Moor, ‘Hyperlude ‘By Yotto and ‘Parfume ‘by Eli & Fur, and epic performances at Anjunadeep Explorations and Open Air in London. In 2020, Dosem presents his fourth studio album ‘Dream Decoder’, a considered mix of ambient atmospheres and melodic techno preceded by the singles ‘Tower’, ‘Megacities’ and ‘Eternal Summer’. With DJ support from the likes of Tale Of Us, Hot Since 82, Maceo Plex, Camelphat, Gorgon City, Nora En Pure and Solomun and tastemaker stations like BBC Radio 1, Triple J, and KCRW, Dosem’s newest LP is set to solidify his reputation as one of Spain’s premier dance producers. Tracklist: Aircargo – Oscar L, Dosem The Snake Charmer – Giza Djs Neonride – Ken Ishii, Dosem 20Ms Cristoph Remix – Spencer Brown, Qrion Melange – Dosem, My Friend Mindvoice – Oscar L, Dosem Sunset Drive Calussa Remix – Stereoclip Lockdown – Brian Kage Who Do You Love? – Simon Doty, Artche The Falling – Archie B Trigger – Cristoph Changing Lanes – Joseph Ray The post Mix of the Week – Dosem appeared first on Decoded Magazine.
