Rohaan’s always had an air of mystique around him. Even back to his early days in the experimental trap and deep bass worlds, releasing on MAD ZOO and Deadbeats. His style has that indistinguishable quality that the likes of IMANU, Current Value and Amon Tobin have which certainly transcends genre, but also seems to transcend space and time. A powerful manifestor as well as a creator of some of the most interesting beats of the last seven years, it seems inevitable that he would eventually release on VISION. With his genreless take on deep bass, Rohaan’s first release with the Noisia boys was actually on their erstwhile “miscellaneous bass” label, Division. He made a funky, loud dubstep remix of Tek Genesis’s “Cloud Kingdom Theme” that seemed like a departure even from his own diverse style. But if we’ve come to expect anything from Rohaan, it’s the unexpected. His debut EP, Boy In A Dream, which came out earlier this month on VISION is certainly that. Containing everything from techy, clubby D&B that defies subgenre to ameny almost jungle to video game halftime to techno-infused bass house, fans shouldn’t be surprised if there were samples from an actual kitchen sink thrown in there just to make a point. Because of the diversity (even for Rohaan) of this EP, YEDM wanted to catch up with the UK-based artist to find out how the hell this extremely interesting piece of work came together. The takeaway? It’s a love letter to the club. Rohaan’s advice for making D&B? Don’t listen to D&B. Read on. Let’s start with the tagline VISION used in your promo: “2 years ago I wrote ‘Vision Recordings’ on a note and stuck it to my bedroom wall…and now here we are.” What does reaching this goal mean to you? So, I write four key goals on a note each year. These are usually written at a time where that goal is in my line of sight but very far away. So, to be here, EP made and released, it’s a wonderful career-affirming place to be. I have looked up to VISION since I was at school studying music, my best friends and peers all love the label, so it’s definitely a wonderful place to be knowing my sound fits the bill! Some fans might actually be surprised to learn that Boy In a Dream is your Vision debut EP, as your sound’s always seemed well-suited to the label, especially in recent years. Why do you think now is the right time or what do you think made this EP stand out to them? I’ve had multiple releases with them in the past, doing three remixes for the likes of Noisia, The Upbeats and Icicle, then a collab single with Tom Finster. This is my debut solo release with them. We actually started working on the idea of an EP back in September 2022, so it’s been a long process of many demos and many weeks of refining my sound to get here. Very excited to bring it to life. It seems clear on the EP that you didn’t necessarily have a specific label in mind; how did you go about putting it together, especially in terms of all the styles? In terms of this release, we had many conversations with VISION to refine the huge demo list and get them to the final 6 that you hear today. Some of these were just fun things I started, others were specifically made for VISION, so it varies. My style and sound are quite eclectic, so I wanted to showcase that in this EP. While a lot of fans think you hit the bigs somewhat suddenly with Shogun, prior to that, you released on some excellent cutting-edge imprints like Deadbeats, Mad Zoo and Unchained. How do you think your experience working with the more twisted beats labels shaped your style when it began to get more popular? With each release, I’m learning and evolving, both through external life experience and seeing the response to my music from fans’ point of view. My style has definitely evolved into two parts. Pop/more stream friendly, and club music. My recent single “Run Away” with Kelbin is a great example of the pop side. My Boy in a Dream EP is a great example of my club influences. It’s been amazing to see my name and my homies names gain so much traction the last few years. That we can actually host headline shows and make music for a living is wonderful thing. In terms of style, from do you feel you take the most influence? Did you really focus on curating your style in the beginning or was it more hit and miss? My influences are from all parts of music except D&B. I don’t really consume the genre anymore, and if i do it’s my close friends’ music, Like IMANU, Buunshin, The Caracal Project ,etc. I mostly listen to the likes of Leon Vynhall, Joy Orbison, ATRIP, Jasper Tygner, O’Fylnn, Frazer Ray and SBTRKT to name a few. I have a Patreon page where I posted a video recently about “how to find your sound and create something original.” I talk about the importance of expanding your creative inputs and horizons and the career-shifting results that will have in the long run. I’m passionate about that for sure. All your previous EPs have been, despite the complexity and diversity of the sound, honed around a specific concept. Were you thinking concept EP for Boy In a Dream? If so, what was it? To be honest, this is more of a collection of club leaning-tunes. No deep story with this one. Each track is its own world, its own universe for people to explore. My Bleach EP was a true story-driven EP, but this one felt great to just give it all to the club scene. I have been on tour for the best part of a year and a half now, all over the world, so my input is mostly club music and energy leaning that way, hence the output of this EP. I’m a boy living his dream Each individual track seems to be its own mini theme or concept within the EP. How do you go about putting a vibe together for a track? What was your goal for some of your favorites on the EP? I really try to say one thing through a track and say it the best I can. So each track is a refined version of its demo self. Each track has a clear theme from start to finish and says it the best I could get it to say it with my current creative self. Each track serves a different purpose. Conceptualizing aside, do you think fans will be able to recognize the vein of your style that runs through all the tracks? It’s not something that I think about really. It’s all got the Rohaan name on it, it’s a more refined version of my sound and gives them a taste of it all. If they come to a show of mine they will see the full extent of my style come through What do you want listeners to take away from the EP as a whole? I want them to play it as loud as they possibly can and to as many people as possible. This EP is for the club and the house party, so enjoy! Anything else exciting on the horizon? What can fans expect next from you (aside from the unexpected)? Many a thing! I’m just about to finish my 4four-week North American Tour, and I have loads of singles already lined up for this year. I’m playing Tomorrowland, Lightning in a Bottle and some more huge festivals that I can’t say just yet. But what a journey so far! I’m so grateful and full of gratitude for every person that reaches out about my music. I just got gifted a watch in NYC! So I’m just taking it all in, really. Thank you for having me and be sure to come to one of my upcoming shows. They are special! Boy In a Dream is out now on VISION and can be streamed on Spotify or purchased on Beatport.

Tinlicker’s emotional yet danceable highly anticipated third studio album, Cold Enough For Snow is out now on [PIAS] Électronique. The LP features a starry roster of collabs on most of the 13 tracks, inc. focus track ‘Glasshouse’ with Julia Church. Dutch duo Micha Heyboer & Jordi van Achtoven will unleash the album and their organic live sound on an accompanying European, and just-announced North American Album Tour. 13-Track LP ‘Cold Enough For Snow’: Tinlicker’s diamond-sharp production skills reinforce their signature melodic sound with emotion-invoking indie guitar sounds, soulful vocals, arresting lyrics, and orchestral instruments, so that hearts, minds and feet can only blissfully surrender. ‘Glasshouse’ feat Julia Church showcases Church’s stirring, yearning, yet edgy voice with lyrics affirming faith in love – ‘I know/there is hope, even in the dark, you glow/…/ I was never in doubt’- while fast, breaksy beats and melodic piano arps create an uplifting yet thought-provoking vibe. ‘Glasshouse is written about having a recurring dream about someone you love’ Julia says. ‘How their memory flashes in and out of your world in the same way they did – and no matter where they are, continuing to live in a way that would make them proud. Nathan [Nicholson] and I fell in love with this beautiful instrumental and we loved working together to find the perfect topline.’ Album Tracks/Collabs: South African vocalist/producer Church (60mil+ streams) also sings on ‘Slipstream’, (supported by BBC’s Sian Eleri and Pete Tong), written/produced with major album collab partner, Boxer Rebellion’s Nathan Nicholson whose haunting, soul-tearing voice rides the woodwind melodies of the Metropole Orkest on ‘Strawberry’, the breakbeat, pizzicato ‘Crossroads’, and the disjointed keys and punchy arps of ‘Staring Down Sunset’. An uplifting indie singing guitar sound duets with Editors’ Tom Smith’s world-weighted, heart-catching voice on ‘This Life’, complements Kieran’s soaring vocal on ‘Nothing To Lose’ feat Circa Waves, and emerges through the breathy voice and harmonium chords of ‘Who I’m Not’ feat Cloves, while Brian Molko’s decadent tones cut through the uncharacteristically trancey setting of ‘Nowhere To Go’, to create a different kind of ‘Placebo’ effect. ‘I love what music can do for people, become the soundtrack to lives we don’t know about, become very special to them.’ Micha/Tinlicker The 2024 EU and North American tours: Tinlicker return to the UK, to the legendary Troxy London, Marble Factory (Bristol), Mandela Hall (Belfast).

YEDM introduced K4LT as a new artist in July 2023, with his pensive, ambient track called “LCPD”. It was a follow-up to his first EP, Endgame, and was two years in the making as well as a departure from his original style. Now focused more on electronic production, “LCPD” has seen an intriguing amount of buzz, both from the industry and fans. Audiences are put on notice, however, not to settle into the dreamy, celestial vibe of “LCPD”. A very different mood is incoming with K4lT’s latest track, “This Room (Reprise)”. The Belin-based K4LT, whose artist name is a stylized version of the German word “kalt” (trans. “cold” in English), has said his new rash of songs is a reflection of the isolation created by the COVID lockdowns and the struggle of people even now to remember how to socialize. “This Room,” released early this month, with its pseudo-goth synth styling, relentless, quick-paced beat and the ennui and anxiety heavy in the lyrics, gives a disturbingly accurate picture of what many people are experiencing post-pandemic. …the experience of more and more of your friends (and probably yourself too a bit) turn into modern day hermits, giving up on parts of life like relationships or having fun in life at all. Just trying to make it without giving any efforts into what would make them truly happy. And the songwriter being afraid how that ends (reading the “list of deaths per year”). In the end the song is about not accepting this defeats and fighting to get up, be motivated (“up to interfere”). “This Room (Reprise)” is also meant to be throwback to a song of the same name by The Notwist, one of K4LT’s biggest influences. This is not a remix or a cover, but a complete re-imagining of the track, as The Notwist’s original is more directly shoegaze and post punk with some interesting vintage and experimental interludes, which might remind some fans of mid-era Radiohead or Death Cab for Cutie merging with Venetian Snares. Refreshingly honest about naming his influences and inspirations, K4LT’s version is both a continuation of the original tone of the track and a reversal. Where The Notwist’s original is soft, vulnerable and largely rock-based, K4LT’s reprise semi-industrial and itchy, pacing, impatient, bordering on frustrated. A contrary statement to the original, but no less impactful. Perhaps “This Room (Reprise)” meant to show the difference in the way we manage relationships and interact with each other since the lockdown. Rather than focusing on a relationship and where it’s going, we’re constantly looking outward whilst staying inward, not satisfied but not willing to do anything about it. A tech-driven futility and an inability to process emotions through relationships – or even at all – stamps this track. That itch is there though, K4LT warns, and it’s ready to break the surface, the portends of the last line repeated before the song cuts off: “…up to interfere; up to interfere.” “This Room (Reprise)” is out now and available to stream along with K4LT’s other works on Spotify. They can also be purchased on Bandcamp. This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: New K4LT Track ‘This Room (Reprise)’ Pays Homage to Artist’s Muse

ZUSO, spearheaded by Australian producer Gabriel Cuenca, is carving out an exciting niche in atmospheric house music that has begun to garner him a global fanbase. In October 2023, Gabriel teamed up with the Sydney-based collective LOVE CLVB for the release of his single ‘Hold Me.’ The track quickly garnered widespread acclaim, capturing the ears of music enthusiasts and tastemakers globally. As he ventures into the new year, Gabriel recently unveiled his latest offering, the tranquil atmospheric piece titled ‘In The Dark.’ Featuring the ethereal vocal talents of Californian artist KORA, the track serves as another testament to ZUSO’s exceptional production prowess and distinctive style, expertly blending downtempo elements with a thumping liquid drum and bass groove. “I wanted to give this song a bit of a dark tone whilst also making it still fun and hooky. It’s written from the perspective of being left in the unknown, whether that’s in a relationship or with someone that’s special to you. It draws upon those emotions with a somewhat gloomy but optimistic feel. I wanted to make it fun whilst also painting that picture and feel, the fast tempo drums and breakbeats make it more uplifting and contrasts quite nicely with that theme. Overall, it was a fun song to write, big ups to Kora as well who sings the lead vocal, her voice really bought the song to life and adds such a hooky layer to the song. Hope you all enjoy it.” ~ ZUSO Listen below! This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: ZUSO Releases Downtempo, Liquid DNB Single ‘In The Dark’

Aussie emerging artist Arky Waters continues to make a splash with his distinctive fusion of breakbeat and tech-house electronica. Following the acclaim garnered by tracks like ‘Take My Time’ and ‘Gum,’ Arky Waters has now offered fans another glimpse into his forthcoming four-track EP with the release of his latest single, ‘Hercules.’ ‘Hercules’ stands as a testament to Arky Waters’ artistic growth, seamlessly blending powerful beats with intricate production elements. The track represents a significant evolution for the artist, serving as an enticing preview of the EP’s potential. With its captivating soundscapes, ‘Hercules’ further solidifies Arky Waters’ position as a forward-thinking presence within the electronic music landscape. “I was running through some samples and came across this huge vocal, I slapped it on a breakbeat and it sounded massive. It carried so much spirit and energy. The track came together pretty quickly after that. It just screamed massive desert vibes so I just went with it – I’ve been trying to let go a bit more and allow the songs to form themselves. I reckon it’s the perfect dune-core song.” ~ Arky Waters Listen below! This article was first published on Your EDM.
