MOTEZ - GIVE ME SPACE FT. THE KITE STRING TANGLE
Music, Original MixCommentBorn and raised in Baghdad where he found his musical style and learned piano, Motez is an Iraqi refugee who has since stepped into a role as one of Australia’s most prominent electronic producers. With a profound life story and a courageous spirit, Motez makes dance music for dreamers. A month ago, the celebrated artist released his critically-acclaimed single “Give Me Space” featuring multi-instrumentalist and vocalist The Kite String Tangle. An endearing listen defined by its simple electronic beat and warm vocals, “Give Me Space” is a markedly emotional listen. Following up the release comes the track’s charming music video. Following a Lego-like toy in a Back To The Future-esque car, the music video is a lighthearted short film that parallels human nature. The small toy transforms into an animated character that builds a ladder out of DVDs to transport himself, through a computer screen, into the digital cosmos. Blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, this digitally-rendered music video is a sweet reminder that our wildest dreams are always within reach.
SCARS - FEAT. LUNA GREY
Music, Original MixCommentFollowing the exciting release of “Scars” featuring Luna Grey, producer and drummer COFRESI delivers a thunderous music video to parallel the wicked cut. Exploring a monochromatic pallet of white and grey, the music video follows the portrayed insanities of Luna Grey in a straight jacket. As she hurls herself about, falling in and out of reality, chopped vocals and electro-rock cadences oscillate her chaos. A sinister visual to a in impressive single, “Scars” has come full circle in terms of creative direction. Listen and watch today.
AXEL MANSOOR - TALK TO ME
Music, Original MixCommentMillennial behavior is criticized in the media on what seems to be a day-to-day basis, most of which Gen Y is unabashedly proud of—challenging mainstream capitalism, redefining how America digests art, and ultimately reshaping the American experience. While this radical group of young adults are pioneering a new way of collective thought, much of it is done with the use of technology, a medium where ideas are often misconstrued. In regards to millennial romance, this digital miscommunication can prove disheartening, and worse-off, entirely fabricated. Combining conceptual, generational philosophies with a multi-dimensional myriad of instruments, singer/songwriter Axel Mansoor captured a new age in a mere 4 minutes and 35 seconds with this single "Talk To Me." The track is a gentle, charming and welcoming piece that challenges what it means to make people move. Using predominantly traditional instruments, Axel fills the spaces between each shift in chord progression with his soft, palpable psalms. His vocals pour out of the depths of his soul, kissing his lips, almost audibly, as it makes its way into our ears. It's slow, yet moving, soft, yet demanding. Moreover, the music video release of "Talk To Me" perfectly encapsulates the mantra of the song. Undoubtedly an unorthodox video, this moving picture is made of entirely of real-time Snapchats between two romantic suitors, one of which, seems to be falling for the other. With Axel playing the main character, viewers and listeners alike are welcomed into a delicate space of his creative mind—you laugh, you cry, and you feel with this video. The release of "Talk To Me" and its visual counterpart are incredibly thought out, touching, and is set to blaze trails for the way millennials look at, and utilize their every-day technology.
