Monday Choon: ARTY feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn - Lightning Strikes

 

Arty has been on a roll with his alias Alpha 9 over the past year but its great to see him return to his original stage name this year with his first release "Lightning Strikes". The Russian DJ has changed up the sound on his ARTY name with this track having a more melodic sound echoing a new direction going forward. Today's featured track see's him team up with American vocalist Jonathan Mendelsohn, a name that isn't a new a one to electronic dance music as he has lent his vocals to tracks from the likes of Dash Berlin, Hardwell and Blasterjaxx to name a few.  Johnathan has a "less is more" production style with his hopeful lyrics which he lends to the track and it really is a great fusion which is sure to have many hands in the air when played across the summer. 

Monday Choon: ALPHA 9 feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn - Down to Love

Ever since I heard the sounds of Artem Stolyarov, I immediately took a liking to his style and became a big fan. Whether it is music under his ARTY alias or Alpha 9, its almost as if he can do no wrong. His latest release comes off his debut album 'New Horizons', which has 14 tracks, this particular one "Down To Love" features the vocals of Jonathan Mendelsohn and has been doing constantly well leading up to the official release. Avid listeners to the Anjuna Beats label will recognise Jonathans voice as he has sung for Seven Lions, Jason Ross and many others including Hardwell. To celebrate the launch of his first album, Alpha 9 will be embarking on an album tour in 2023, here's hoping he decides to make a stop in South Africa.
