Monday Choon: Kill The Noise, Seven Lions & Julia Ross - Without You

 

Fresh off the stage at Ultra Miami having played yesterday, we have Kill The Noise with an epic track this week. This American DJ and record producer, Jacob Stanczak from Rochester, New York isn't the most noticeable name in the industry but he's been around long enough to work with some of the greats, that includes Skrillex, Fatman Scoop and Michael Angelakos. He teams up with Seven Lions who really need no introduction to this blog and Julia Ross on the vocals for "Without You", it's a bit of a different track to what we normally select but the energy of this track is so great, from the beginning to the build-up and the drop is just nothing short of superb. The vocals by Julia aid the song so well, it's the focal point of the intro the song as melody builds up. It's that euphoric type of track we've come to love from the Seven Lions guys with some added oomph from Kill The Noise.  You definitely going to be hearing a lot of this one in the coming months so turn up the volume and enjoy!

Monday Choon: Above & Beyond and Seven Lions feat. Opposite The Other - See The End

It's always a pleasant surprise when you're listening to your weekly international podcast and they mention an artist feature from your own country, makes you feel all patriotic and shit. South Africa has it's fair share of global icons in the music world and could this be another in the making? Well we hope so! This week our featured track has Cape Town based band "Opposite The Other" teamed up with legends of the trance industry, Above & Beyond as well as Seven Lions on the track "See The End". It's just been officially released and while I've heard the track previously on their live sets at EDC and elsewhere, I had no idea it had a local influence. Opposite the Other have a very distinct sound to their music, almost Springbok Nude girl vibes and it works so well in this track. The melodies and synths with the vocals just elevate the entire track to that uplifting heights that we're so used to. Hopefully more colabs in store for the future for them. 

Monday Choon: Seven Lions - Don't Leave feat. Ellie Goulding (Tiësto Vs Twoloud Remix)

You know that moment of awesomeness when all of your favourite things is in one? Well this song sort of epitomises that for me. Seven Lions has really grown on me over the past few months and I'm really enjoying their worrk, then you got Ellie Goulding who's currently one of the best vocalists around and for me, her voice just suits this style of music to the t. Then you got the guys that worked on the remix of this song, Tiesto, my all time favourite DJ and the up and coming guys of TwoLound. The production of this song is really top class and when you listen to it you will know why.
