flipturn releases alternate version of album standout “Sad Disco” for Valentine’s Day
On “Sad Disco (Pine Studios)”, the band said, “One of our favorite aspects of writing music is that there can be so many different ways to interpret the same track.

Cutting Edge Industrial Visionaries DK-ZERO Release A Twisted Love Song For Valentine’s Day, Their First Single Of 2023!
Vocalist and bandleader D-Punk kicks off the track with a sinister Rob Zombie-esque verse before the song jumps into high gear with D-Punk’s vocals going from a whisper to a scream and everything in between. Meanwhile the elaborately produced backing track feels barely contained, as if it might explode or collapse at any moment, and it’s a stunning achievement that the song not only coheres but embeds itself in the listener’s conscious mind. The band also teams once again with Industrialism Films to create an equally mesmerizing video to accompany the track.

JULIANA TUCKER Releases New Single “Alone But Not Lonely”
“‘Alone But Not Lonely’ is one of my most cherished songs on my EP because it perfectly describes where I am in my life right now,” shares Juliana. “I’ve been single for over 3 years, and I can confidently say I’ve never learned more about myself as I have in that time. Growing up, we’re told we need a partner to find happiness and comfort, but I sometimes think back to my last relationship and remember feeling my loneliest, which made me realize ‘alone’ and ‘lonely’ are not mutually dependent. As someone who thoroughly enjoys their alone time, I knew this would be a perfect song for me to write. At the end of the day, the most important relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves, so I hope anyone who listens to this song can feel empowered in knowing that and remembers that just because someone is alone does not mean they’re lonely. And for all those out there like me who simply don’t like Valentine’s Day, this one’s for you!”

Sound Quelle expands horizons with vivid new album Tarazed
Sound Quelle’s singular blend of progressive and deep house is on full display throughout this expansive 17 track release. Opener ‘Origins’ sets the tone, bursting into view on a wave of arpeggiated synths before a deep house groove takes hold. Next up is the first of four distinctive singles that exemplify the album’s range. ‘Tempest’ is constructed around an exhilarating groove, the kind that the producer so often crafts with an assured ease – this time accompanied by a luscious vocal from Daniel Robinson. ‘Where We Should Be’ pairs an entrancing chord progression with Tailor’s ethereal vocals, while ‘Colours’ shows off Sound Quelle’s symphonic production. Finally, in a strong closing stretch of the album, the colossal ‘Wonderland’ mesmerises with its wall of cascading synths and sublime vocals from 88Birds.
Zae further shares, “What It Do has elements of what people are used to with the Zae France sound while introducing a newer sound that my day-one fans and new fans can vibe with. I’ve known Fridayy for a while, so working with him on this was organic and natural— we cooked up something with Bizness Boi & Fortune Beats that’s going to set the vibe for the rest of the year and show that the fellas got something to say too.”
