Jameson Tabor- In the Glove
Jameson Tabor released his new track In the Glove late last year, evoking the god of pop in his title. The California based singer, songwriter and producer really gave the world a new age techno track to moonwalk to. It’s honestly hard to not give in to the sway of the rhythm. Jameson is bringing back Disco and throwing in some techno pop to the mix. Jameson Tabor has packed a lot into this song and it surprisingly works. He gives us the soulful vocal riffs, the techno keyboard and the enticing drum guitar combo. He showcases his vocal prowess in this track with his high pitched notes and the baritone entry. It begins with a keyboard section and Jameson’s voice follows with a “Come hither” quality to it. The song has such a crackling quality that hooks you in right from the get go. The brief moment of vocal layering when Jameson has his solo adds so much texture to the song. A special shout out to the concept of the song cover art, the glittery hand adds great character to the song even before you hear it. The glitter glove and sections of the song is a tasteful tip of the hat to Micheal Jackson. The song would fit in like the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle in 2011 release- Crazy, Stupid, Love. You can imagine the song in the background to a montage of the characters having their respective experiences of love. This song would add a layer to the biting comedy of the movie allowing the scene to pop even more. Jameson is a self made artist who has worked with some of the industry's finest, a few of whom have even been Grammy winners. You must follow him to stay tuned to his new releases.
PRATTO-Into the Night
PRATTO controls the digital fabric as a mere mortal. Or so we assume, that he is one. With exploratory soundscapes and magical spheres taking us into each song in depth-music is the method to his madness. With this being the third single released, he already has 67k+ streaming for both his other singles. This is his latest track, Into the Night. I remember the years Hardwell and Guetta used to control radio airplay. People were obsessed with electronic music, and it suddenly dwindled. PRATTO brings that hook, that sprinkling magic back to the portal. Songs that used to inspire people to jump, dance and lose themselves to music. True EDM. Into the Night is such a track through and through, bringing a resonating, pulsating energy to it. This is something that could play at Tommorrowland and would make tsunami waves. With beautiful lyrics and effortless transitions, this is where DJing becomes an art. An artist like this deserves 10 times the streaming numbers, only owing to the quality of what he is making. It is a compounding, organic and building spirit that prefaces the purpose of melding music with technology. It was for high quality audio, beautiful experiences and all coming together for the love of dance. PRATTO makes it possible again. I could totally see this audio unite many moments in TRON:Legacy, all due to how it has been designed. It is an incredible experience, and you must hear it with some powerful surround sound. His other two tracks are The Ode and Just for the Night, raw and vigorous yet polished in execution. Experience energy from dance music like you have never before. Follow him for more music as well!

Horizonte Lied-Memorias de Crónicas Futuras
Horizonte Lied make the temperature rise and drop with their brand of pop. This is their reckoning with a new sound- a brand of bands that would make stadium rock look feeble. The way they manipulate the beat and the feelings, there’s a good chance you won’t get this experience very frequently. This is their latest album, Memorias de Crónicas Futuras. Through their pulverizing take on new wave, they’ll change how you experience this resurgence. Destello Inmortal is a dead ringer for a song Depeche would write. With their energetic electronic riff, it is easy to get swept up in the incredible feel they show in the track. At times, even the vocals fade away because of the immense and impressive instrumental control. Espectro de Vida churns energy through the rhythm, a rare feat when you’re in this genre. Horizonte Lied make synth-pop feel novel again, with their exciting ways of exploring these seemingly seen rhythms and tunes. Each melody is a dive into a forgotten or unexplored territory. Sin Claridad is next, and that darker bassline is one to cherish. The echoing vocals transcend the song itself, tattooing itself in your brain. The pulsating core If they explored more somber items through the previous tracks, Acertijos plays with percussion and synth pulses. It is incredible to hear in unison, like an army is following you with the sound. The instrumental accents are what sell the lyrics even more. Imploring the human mind and interactions in parts makes this as thought-provoking as it is layered and genius. Their single released recently through many moulds comes next. El Peligro de la Gente makes the dance floor available to some serious movement. It has a collection of tunes and tones that aren’t heard until connoisseurs of the art form change it. The doom of Por Tu Ausencia is heard before the light melodies distract you. It is masterful layering, with special attention paid to the attack and release. In your absence features that hollow emotion that might become propagated within the body and mind. El Abismo features some classic 80s pop sounds. Especially the spicy snare, along with the buzzing low frequency background, does a lot of feel transfer. Voz de Fé brings the party energy back, just like the industrial echo of Illuminado. Horizonte Lied ensure they end the album on a high, and what a high it is. The 2019 movie Ema would be a brilliant movie to put these songs in. The complementing scenes along with the dance sequences and storyline would be ideal for this music by Horizonte Lied. They are just getting started with their collection, and the catalogue is quite impressive to explore. Listen to their singles above, and ensure you have your dancing shoes on!
