Monday Choon: Elysian - Light Years

 

‘Light Years’ has travelled 9.46 trillion kms to reach us - impressive given that Elysian (Emma Hewitt, Maor Levi & Ilan Bluestone) only started their collective in 2020. ‘Light Years’ aside, they’ve packed a considerable amount into that time and space, delivering Anjunabeats the galactically titled ‘Little Star’, ‘Moonchild’ and others. 

‘Light Years’ however sees them jump to another universe, that of Black Hole Recordings, for a succession of outings throughout the year’s course.  

While we say: “spectacular intro to 2024”, there are those who’ll already have made contact with ‘Light Years’. Ilan snuck it aboard his ‘In Search of Sunrise 19’ disc back in December … and to no small effect. That, along with Emma’s Black Hole-released ‘Ghost Of The Light’ album last year, has trailblazed a new Elysian singles run.

Through jacked beats and cyberish FX, at its outset, ‘Light Years’ rocks down some darker corridors. Emma’s song however quickly identifies beauty lying in its depths. As its synth rays rise, Ilan and Maor’s riff lifts the feel, as Emma ponders the eternal question … “is anybody out there?”

Monday Choon: Giuseppe Ottaviani & Mila Josef - Fade Away

 

Good things come to those who wait, that is the saying and I have been waiting for 2 weeks since I first heard this song which was only released last week Friday. Italian DJ and producer  Giuseppe Ottaviani teams up with Mila Josef for this killer track titled "Fade Away". This track is from a series of songs that have been released by him which is in lead up to his fifth artist album. Mila's vocals are the prefect combination to the backtrack of this song, Giuseppe fell in love with her voice and teamed up with for their first single together, judging by how well this worked out, it might not be the last time we hear her on one of his tracks. It is a magnificent track one that hits all the right notes, hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 

Monday Choon: Somna & BLU EYES - More (LTN Remix)

Something a little different on the feature today, more soulful trance track brought to you by one of Canada's leading trance DJ's and producers Somna. Occupying the number 65 spot on DJ Mag top 100 he has had his music featured on many of the house hold names in EDM including Armada Music, Future Sound of Egypt, Black Hole Recordings and such. Today's track was released on AVA Recordings and has been remixed by LTN, the original track is beautiful but might be considered a bit slow so Indonesia's LTN gave it a breath of fresh air but still keeps the romantic essence of the track. Really beautiful track and a perfect way to get the week going.
