The More You Give – New Disco Funk single by Prinz Leo

London-based artist Prinz Leo released his new single The More You Give featuring the Portuguese singer Ola Ruth on Friday, 27th November 2020.

Danceable rhythms and sing-along melodies meets the spirits from the 80s. Produced by Camelle Hinds (best known from the UK funk band Central Line) and mixed by Nick Hunt (Depeche Mode), this song keeps what it promises.

Prinz Leo was talking the inspiration for this song in an interview “When I moved from Austria to London I first lived in in Peckham (South London). I often saw Josh, a homeless man without legs, in his wheelchair. He always smiled at people wishing them a great day instead of begging for money. I sometimes gave him some coins. One day, I was busking in Peckham, Josh came over to listen and watch my performance and threw money in my guitar case. This event was so touching and a very powerful life lesson: The More You Give The More You Get (I’m talking about the kind of giving where you don’t expect anything in return).”

The song was written by Leonhard Wimmer (Prinz Leo), co-written by Robert Bridges and Martina Randes, produced by Camelle Hinds (Central Line), mixed by Nick Hunt (Depeche Mode) and mastered by Marcellus Frank.

‘Blind Season’ unleash an ode to loneliness and toxicity with ‘The Dark Bedroom’ on Discover Rocks 21 Now!

‘Blind Season’ are an alternative rock band formed by Shane Sigro. The new single from ‘Blind Season‘ is entitled ‘The Dark Bedroom’.

How was the writing and recording process ?

“It’s a tricky song to write in terms of tempo, but after a couple re writes I love how this song turned out”

‘The Dark Bedroom’ represents a schizophrenic feeling that can be hard to pin point at times. Feeling trapped within yourself and just not leaving your room for days on end.

Rock and Roll and turbulent relationships have gone hand in hand since the beginning of time. The origins of Blind Season are no different. Beginning with a rag tag group only forming through the means of owning instruments, and an evening involving the smashing of a mutual friend’s car.

Blind Season had undergone 5 different incarnations until Shane Sigro the founding guitarist was faced with the ultimate decision between succumbing to normalcy or proving the previous members wrong.

Choosing the latter, Sigro doubled down by taking vocal lessons and penning the new music that would breathe life into the new era of Blind Season.

Blind Season’s upcoming album is an ode to loneliness and toxicity that feel as if they were ripped from Billy Corgan’s Diary and featured in a film by Tim Burton.

With the current questionable climate of the world there’s no question that this album will find its proper home and become a sign of the times.

DISCOVER ARTIST INTERVIEWS: Find out what’s Going on with SMASH as he talks to Discover Music News

Tell us about your background getting to where you are today?

I have a degree in animation but then I discovered music production and audio engineering and gravitated towards it in my mid twenties. My journey has taken me to living and training in the Caribbean, starting off as a studio assistant and then working up to being a producer and engineer. After 4 years abroad, I’m no residing back in the UK running a studio and also Lecturing at the Academy of Contemporary Music teaching music production and audio engineering.

Where are you from?

I was born in England, my mother is from Trinidad and my dad is from Mauritius.

When did you start music?

I have always been into music, that transformed into DJ-ing in my teens, but it was just a hobby. After obtaining my BA in Animation thats when I started to get into music production and I started taking it seriously.

How did you get into music?

After graduating with my degree in animation I was doing a freelance Job in Brixton. It was in a complex that housed many offices and studio spaces. A lot of then were occupied by creatives, from filmakers, dancers, music studio producers. I was at this job for like 8 months and got to know some of the music studio owners and one day I asked if I can have a dabble for a few hours. I instantly fell in love with it and the rest is history.

What is the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?

Being creative can be tough for anyone, I already had a degree and was very good at what I was doing with art and animation so for me it was uprooting myself to follow my dream and start all again to learn something different.


Are you currently signed or independent?

I am an independent however I have a management deal with 1 2 One Entertainment.

Who inspires you the most musically?

Tough question, but I think Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and producer Quincy Jones.

What do you want people to take away after listening to your music

That they have not just heard something I have done or something I have contributed towards, but they have experienced something about who I am.

Any new music coming out soon

Yes! Working very closely with Krishane (son of the Reggae legend Barrington Levy). We have something we have been working on few things now for a while, things will drop as and when its ready, so watch this space, its happening soon!


What is your greatest achievement as a musician?

When I started teaching students at a degree level. I’ve not been formally trained in music, so I always had a self belief that I couldn’t teach it. Its very touching when some of these kids are so eager to learn from you.

Do you produce your own music? If not who do you work with?

Yes, pretty much all of my music is created and mixed by me. I have worked and collaborated with other producers, I think more now than ever collaboration is important.


Who is one artist you wish you could work with?

Ok someone who is no longer with us: Michael Jackson, I think doing a record with him will not just be the creation of something memorable, but I believe I would have been pushed and taken away some valuable lessons about music and life. The other person(s) would be the Marley brothers especially Jr. Gong and Stephen.


Tell us about any new music you have coming out? When is coming out? What is it about?

I have a record with Krishane called Lockdown that has been in development for a while now.

What does a day inside your shoes look like?

Always a cup of tea to start the day, after it all depends on if I’m teaching or not. If I’m teaching all day, I will very rarely end up in the studio in the evening unless its a must. I’ve started to value my down time as much as my time creating, that balance is important. If I’m not teaching, it all depends how I feel, I might make some music, or finish off any pending mixes, but if I’m not doing any of those things I dedicate time to learn new things about what I’m doing within music and audio engineering, this industry moves very fast and I think that its important to always be a student to your craft.


Anything else you want the audience to know about you?

When I’m not in the studio I really enjoy cooking.

Listen to “No Rainy Days (Jiffthegeneral Garage Mix)” HERE.

Shana says, “I’ve always been a fan of garage. I don’t think a day passes where I don’t listen to at least one track from the past, so I’m really excited to be able to inject that into my own project.”

At just 17, Shana is determined to reach as many people as possible with her music and not allow genre to box her in. A video already accompanies the original version of ‘No Rainy Days’ and additional vocals were added to the remix.

VivaSwan & Indian Trap Release New Genre Bending Record titled “Whatever It Cost”

VivaSwan is excited to reveal his latest single “Whatever It Cost” together with super producer Indian Trap. The two iTrap Records artists introduce a whole new sub-genre of Hip-Hop, coined “Activation Records” to the game, bringing together the ancient practices of their ancestors, with sounds of the future.

The single is an amalgamation of diverse musical influences and draws inspiration from Hip Hop, Trap Music, Cinematic Music, and Classical Indian music. “Whatever It Cost” is an infectious, catchy song with an array of vocal styles. The single pushes the boundaries of music with a variety of colourful textures in Vivaswan’s voice while he delivers a hard-hitting, empowering, and unforgettable rap performance. The beat is driving with hard-hitting tribal drums, custom 808’s, and powerful chants from the Vedic culture.

This record is sure to transport you to the jungles of South East Asia, all while having your trunk rumbling with unbelievable bass.

VivaSwan shares, “I’m so excited to be releasing this single, as this is my favorite single in the arsenal! I wanted to gift my fans a track that gives them the highstakes, adrenaline filled energy of battle, while also taking them through an empowering, 3rd Eye opening journey into the spiritual world. The chants on this track date back tens of thousands of years at least, and listening to them alone make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, while triggering powerful ancestral memories.”

He goes on to share, “The track also features other sound healing instruments, like the Shankha (conch) which has been used to signify the beginning of ceremony, or battle for millenia now. Growing up in the urban jungles as well as the rural ones, this track is a perfect matrimony of the two sides of my life. Listeners will definitely not be disappointed!”

VivaSwan is a full time artist, born in the jungles of South India, and raised on the streets of California. Working with the likes of Dr. Luke, Mad Decent, KSHMR, Jhene Aiko, UMG, and more, he’s also a frequently working actor, doing campaigns with the world’s top brands like Toyota, Tinder, Google, Facebook, Apple, and Uber to name a few. In 2018, he teamed up with hit producer J2, to champion the movement called Indian Trap together.

Jay Singh, also known as J2, the hit record producer and composer, is the man behind Indian Trap. Jay first burst into the scene when he won the prestigious Ministry of Sound DJ Idol Competition in 2002. Since then he has produced and remixed songs for many reputable artists including LL Cool J, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, and Madonna to name a few. Powerfully establishing himself in the pop world under the J2 moniker with his hit single “Dare La La La,” which he co-wrote and produced for Shakira’s 10th studio album, the track debuted in most of the top 10 lists around the globe.

A reworked version was released as an official theme song for the 2014 FIFA World Cup titled “La La La” Brazil,” which is featured on the One Love, One Rhythm World Cup album. The song was also featured in a T-Mobile commercial and on Shakira’s Activia Commercial, which became the most shared advertisement of 2014.

His J2 songs can be heard in over 100 movies, trailers, video games, TV Shows, and advertisements. Collectively his songs have garnered more than 250 Million Streams across YouTube and all other major DSPs.

The Unicorn Unicorn Unicorn Unicorn Tribe!

The Unicorn Tribe! The Unicorn Tribe!

The world outside may not see us for who we are

A prism of light within, we are made of stars Innocent and wise, but pain is the price we pay

Standing up for what’s right, we will not obey

All we need is to be who we are inside

To be a part of The Unicorn Tribe

The Unicorn Unicorn Unicorn Unicorn Tribe!

We all want the same thing To be seen for who we are

N2BLÜ POP HISTORY

IMG_5953

Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!

At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.

Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.

In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).

As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From The Ashes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.

After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.

While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.

Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.

Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.

After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.

Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.

Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.

At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like Peter Rauhofer and Abel Aguilera.

In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.

‘FaB’ a.k.a ‘Fitzsimon and Brogan’ from ‘Pretty Blue Gun’ and ‘Jack Dagger’ fame to release Special 2CD ‘This Wicked Pantomime’

Fitzsimon and Brogan were both members of the band, Pretty Blue Gun, who were signed to an indie label licensed to Sony.  They released two albums which were critically acclaimed. Some of the guest musicians included members of The Art of Noise, Dave Bronze (Eric Clapton’s bass player), Tobias Boshell (Moody Blues) and Pip Williams who played guitar on the Walker Brothers’ track, ‘No Regrets’.  The albums were produced by Pat Collier, who produced Katrina and the Waves’ international hit, ‘Walking on Sunshine’.  The band went on national tours across the UK until disbanding.

Neil Fitzsimon, the songwriter, and Bee Brogan, the vocalist, then went on to form a song writing/production partnership that led to placement of their songs in Film and TV.  They also wrote a musical, Jack Dagger, which was showcased at the Greenwich Theatre, London for the Musical Futures Award.  It was also showcased at the Bridewell and the Royal College of Music in London.  They have also just had a song placed in a USA Sci Fi Feature film. They recently had a track reach number 3 in a French national download chart. Their single, Girl in a Gilded Cage, reached number one on the iTunes chart in Belgium for all genres.

All songs are written by Neil FitzsimonVocals, keyboards, drums and engineering by Bee Brogan.  All guitars played by Neil Fitzsimon. All mixed by Pat Collier at Perryvale Studios, London.

Fitzsimon and Brogan see themselves as a studio act much in the vein of Tin Tin Out and Talk Talk.  Their influences range from The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Jimmy Webb, Jacques Brel, The Smiths and David Bowie. Their aim is to produce pure pop for now people.

They are honoured now to be working with one of their heroes, David Bowie’s drummer from The Spiders from Mars, Woody Woodmansey. Previous to this they worked with Elvis Costello’s drummer, Pete Thomas. These new tracks are on their newest album, This Wicked Pantomime which is to be released soon.

FITZSIMON AND BROGAN

Every once in a while, we like to push the boundaries of the scope of the pop music we release. FaB (Fitzsimon and Brogan) are one such example. In the 90’s, Neil Fitzsimon and Bee Brogan were both members of the band Pretty Blue Gun who were signed to Cavell Records, an indie label licensed to Sony.

They released two critically-acclaimed albums. After PBG split, the couple went on to form a song writing/production partnership that led to placement of their songs in film and TV. All the songs on this specially-priced 2CD “This Wicked Pantomime” (Disc 2 consists of 11 previously unreleased tracks) are written by Neil who also plays all of the guitars. Vocals, keyboards, drums and engineering is by Bee.

Bee’s a vocal phenomenon with a unique range. At times, she can sound like Peter Perrett of The Only Ones, and at others, like a sultry Marianne Faithfull. David Bowie’s drummer from The Spiders from Mars, Woody Woodmansey and Elvis Costello’s drummer, Pete Thomas both guest on the record.

The record was mixed by Pat Collier (of The Vibrators).

What are the Press saying ?

 “Manhattan’s avant garde would be proud of them.” – Pete Thomas

“They have a unique and refreshing approach to their music especially at a time when so many things being produced seem to sound the same.” – Woody Woodmansey

“Their goal is pretty clear and they deliver with tremendous musicianship and melodies that stay in your head from the get-go.” – MusicExistence.com

“When Fitzsimon’s brilliant arrangements, witty lyrics, beautifully whimsical melodies, and Brogan’s perfectly coy vocal deliveries come together against a backdrop of shimmering keys, jangling guitars, and bewitching backup harmonies, something magical happens.” – Jamsphere Magazine

“Anchored in pop, FaB incorporate a great deal of styles into the sound ranging from Glam Rock to Psychedelic Rock. By far the heart and soul comes from their poetic lyricism which is delivered with a fiery passion that recalls David Bowie’s most playful and theatrical work.” – BeachSloth.com To our ears, FaB have created a swaggeringly fun record that cultivates some of the most beloved traits of pop music and yields a product that is not only easy to relate to but is stylistically different from anything else that’s on the market today.

LA’s ‘Shani’ returns with the beautiful ‘Sade’ esque ballad ‘Changing Tides’

These days, it’s rare enough to find an artist you truly love, be it an actor, musician or director.

It’s even more rare, however, to find one who is naturally skilled in all three sectors and manages to produce a delightful result every single time. That’s right, in this article, we’re talking about American artist Shani, a talented singer, and songwriter, as well as a gifted performer, director, producer, and actress. At first glance, it seems there’s truly nothing Shani can’t do (and do well, at that!).

The Los Angeles-based artist has penned multiple award-winning tracks, such as “El Llamar de Pasión – Call of the Wild” in the movie “Crash”, and “Rise” from the soundtrack for “American Wrestler”, which she performed with fellow musician Andy. As an actress, her credits include the Jack Black movie “Crossworlds”, as well as numerous TV appearances. And in between all this work in the arts sector, she’s still managed to put her seemingly interminably energy behind numerous charities and causes, using her voice to shine a light on the less fortunate.

Now, Shani returns to the music world with her latest release, entitled simply “Changing Tides”, a track recorded in quarantine, by the looks of it, yet not made any less great by it. Quite the contrary, in fact, since it seems that “Changing Tides” is rapidly gathering critical acclaim, despite being on the market for only a couple of weeks. The powerful melody that carries the piece resonates with even the most reluctant of listeners, and Shani’s sweet, yet emotion-charged voice lends a seductive feel to the whole tune. Accompanied by a tasteful arrangement of guitar, bass, sax, and keyboard, Shani creates an instant winner with “Changing Tides” and captures the listener’s attention.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, “Changing Tides” manages to inspire, in a world that desperately needs something good right now. And seeing that something can still be made in 2020’s nightmare-ish setting really gives one hope that things can and will return to normal.

And that’s no small feat, so do yourself a favour, if you haven’t already, and check out Shani’s “Changing Tides”.

If there is one way to transport the body, mind, and soul to a better place, time, and realm, it is the creation and listening of visionary melody. This is one major belief of alternative (pop/rock/rap) artist, UnderRoot (Sulav M. Aryal). The Kathmandu, Nepal born up and coming artist has got the strings and keys to pull to take music lovers and passionate musicians on that quest to a better place, time, and
realm.

Some start and finish while some start and never finish. UnderRoot, who is on a quest to finish strong, has never given up even in the face of challenges to give listeners a perfect tune. From tender age,

Staying stagnant is one thing UnderRoot never does as he has gained experience over the past years to
