SUMMER TUNE! ::: A meeting of Sunny Boys ::: Sonnengruss X Amit Benita “See You Later”

Eis Am Stiel 2021 – Bridging Germany & Israel

Israeli singer & all around sunny boy Amit Benita teams up with German Dj & all around sunny boy Sonnengruss for their sunshine infused single “See You Later”.
The song captures one’s peaceful state of mind, when taking a trip to the beach with your friends, your new love, just hanging out chilling until late into those beautiful summer nights, no matter if you are in the city or on the country side.

The video also does a fantastic job of capturing the songs vibe: warm colours, friends and love.

Sonnengruss and Amit Benita – a Match made in Heaven. Their Love for warmth and comfort in Their Music brought them together. the result is a song about peace, Ease of mind and Unity. In Times of Political Uproar, media manipulation and discriminqating people for not taking a vaccine or having a dissident opinion, the wish to create a song to unite people was even stronger. The Collaboration came to be in a time, in which honest positive Messages are rare. Sonnengruss and Benita want to send a message – We need to ease our minds. Step out of propaganda. Be Love.
The song was written in Byron Bay, Australia, recorded in Israel and produced in Berlin

Pure Summer Vibes! “Apple of My Eye” by Jesse Whitney

Here is a friend of mine whom i met on Zoom (what a sad world that is), who then told me he was doing music while we talked about lizards, UFOs, conspiracies and Wikileaks and stuff…
Well send it he did! He made a super, uber-sweet beach, reggae, folky songwriter tune and it’s *****ing mindblowingly lovely! Play it at all summer, play at your garden party, play it in your barnhouse, play it on your balcony with your loved one! A proper 100% YUM YUM top tune, for the late night hours on the beach… Really wants me make a new Mixtape!
Proper music, not just some soundbytes to torture your brains memory center (actually lol’ed while writing this). Jesse is straight out of Melbourne, and spent some time in Berlin, where the hook-up happened, and although i am officially on team Sidney, simply bc my good friend Mat McHugh is from there, i should be biased (i am)  but this tune is some sweet, sweet summer wine. Check out “Apple of my Eye”!

ps. usually i would have posted a sunny beach pic like this, but Jesse has an unusally good so i had to repost it!

Dj Sosa – Orange Peel

Kind of tropical this kind of hiphop does feel (Yoda). I stopped listening to hiphop lyrics years ago, there are more important things in the world, like everybody wearing a slave mask, and that’s just so sad to see. So in this kind of situation where music has a different role than listening to some ego mantras, i am mostly looking for tunes with a positive or charming feel. Orange Peel and especially spiced up with that soul sample, gives it that certain bubbly bump. Hats off to Sosas production, for that tropical, sunny lofi-fruit and if that bad, reduced mix is itentional, even more kudos. Add it on Spotify

Ps here is a presave of that tune, and i only appreciate presaves where you can get something out of it, like this one. Everyone’s a dj and Spotify is not. So presave & download away !

Energy to combat the lockdown blues? Check out this big rock anthem

In these challenging days of being locked down and isolated at home (for more than a year!), stumbling upon this energy bomb of a rock anthem from newcomers DEAD STAR TALK was a much needed treat. What a debut single! DEAD STAR TALK truly take us back to the carefree days of rock ‘n’ roll partying in the 90’s. How we miss those days right now!

“Love Leash” (which is released this Friday – 26.03.2021), already has this lovely lyric video (that’s how we discovered the lads). Check it out:

 

Perfect Winter Song! – Running Away by Sonnengruss

Everynow and then comes along a track that pushes you into daydreaming like no other. Sonnengruss just delivered one of those gems, his new track “Running Away”, which has been out since last Friday. Sonnengruss delivers a wonderfully lush vocal line with a very reduced instrumental track, that pushes forward with its deep bassline. Listen to this on full volume and close your eyes and drift away in your dreams about your once unknowingly loved ones. Keep two ears out for this guy!

Sola Plexus – Purple Frog Curly Legs

Yes, you have read that right.

Purple Frog Curly Legs, the new EP by Sola Plexus, is a family thing and I’m more than happy that the brain child of my dear friends finally came to fruition.

Not for the faint hearted but for friends of UK Rave, Grime and the likes. Favorite track of the EP for me personally would definitely be Dirty Digi Boom. The accompaning video is an adorable reminisence to 90s MTV video astethics.

If you care to show some love you’ll find Sola Plexus on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Here’s the full EP for your listeing pleasure.
