Hard Lights, Moonshine, Ember Island – Umbrella (feat. Marnik)

I tend to like select covers of this song more then the original. The is one such cover since it takes a different spin of the tune without missing the heart of it. My favorite part has always been ‘Took an oath I’mma stick it out ’til the end’. I love the cadence and rhythm there. It’s effortless and so damn catchy. This version has a smoother deeper vibe to the track. The vocals are soothing and the beat is driving in the chorus.

Hard Lights has an ear for melody and this is evident when going through his catalog of music he’s produced. Hard Lights is a Producer / International DJ racking up massive plays on Spotify.

Dance Yourself Clean – Upside Down (feat. Trenton)

The overall vibe on this track is soothing. The vocals of Trenton in the verse sections are tender but in the chorus they turn dreamy and serene. The music is upbeat and warm. The main melody sails along with burst in the chorus to get you moving. Dance Yourself Clean (DYC) started in 2013 as an indie dance party, that eventually evolved to a record label (Lights & Music Collective) and producing original music and remixes.

Queens of Club – Bones

Hooked the first second I heard that synth arpeggiator going from the start of the track. It only got better as the track carries on. It has a gothic vibe mixed with synth pop from the 80’s and modern synth wave. The vocals seduce and pull the listener in till it reaches a crescendo in the chorus with several vocals singing in harmony. This track is for fans of Grimes and Purity Ring.
