American producer and composer Moose with a Scarf (Anthony Sabatino) has returned with a variation of his energetic EDM track ‘Won’t Let You Go’, released on the 13th of October 2023. A graduate of Berklee College of Music and USC, he has composed music for over 100 different film, game, and television projects, with Moose with a Scarf existing as his EDM moniker. He has also developed an interactive music app Tabletop Tunes, writing and producing all the music for the application. 

The listener is launched into ‘Won’t Let You Go’ with a charged yet optimistic house chord progression. An energetic dance-ready beat kicks off with Lauren Richards’ clear, powerful and passionate vocals. The drop is a gratifying EDM amalgam of a four-on-the-floor beat, driving layered chords and a playfully happy synth line wiggling around in a catchy melody. This synth line is carried through in the final bridge where it dances and modulates into an ecstatic crescendo. The lyrics are wholesome and triumphant, touching on themes of love and unconditional commitment. ‘Won’t Let You Go’ is a delight to listen to. 

Moose with a Scarf commented: “There is a lot to this song, but ultimately my goal is to just make you feel good! It’s uplifting, energetic, bubbly, and overall gives a fun positive vibe. I want it to be a song you can’t possibly live without, a song that gets stuck in your head (in a good way), and something that you just wanna blast over and over.”

Renowned New York based drummer and producer Nolan Byrd recently shared his riveting remix of The Furs, ‘Autograph’ on the 11th of August. This new interpretation showcases Swedish pop genius The Fur’s signature style and Nolan Byrd’s cutting edge production skills, offering listeners a dancier and more upbeat version of the 2022 original. 

‘Autograph’ initially captivated audiences with its all-embracing sound and profound political and social message. Nolan Byrd takes it up a notch, giving it mainstream accessibility, for both radio and the club. Featuring a plucky bass, fat kick and retro Roland 909 hats, there’s also the trademark ‘Autograph’ vocal sample which is deeply infectious and catchy. Amid housey piano chords, there’s a plethora of dreamy arpeggios and melodies to give the track some atmosphere and depth. 

Athemic, the core of ‘Autograph’s appeal lies in its gentle yet impactful political commentary. Despite the remix featuring less vocals than the original, it’s still a track that questions the status quo. Against the backdrop of a shifting global political landscape, it’s more meaningful than ever before.

This new release is only adding to the hype about their forthcoming sophomore studio album, Club Romantech which also includes the tracks ‘I Want You’ with Galantis and ‘You’re Free’ featuring Ultra Naté.

TikTok users can now look forward to a new product from the company that brought the world the highly addictive video-sharing social media platform. With a simple hum, users can generate entire songs using the new Ripple app. It is worth noting that the app is still in its beta testing phase, but for those who have access, Ripple offers a world of untapped creativity. 

Ripple is unique in that it allows musicians who don’t possess the skill to play an instrument to generate instrumentation at a moment’s notice. Then, they can use the app’s built-in editing feature to cut and shift parts into an arrangement of their choosing, much like audio workstations FL Studio and Ableton are capable of. Only, with Ripple, the process appears to be more mobile-compatible.

“Ripple is designed to inspire musical creativity and help musicians, artists and composers express themselves,” said a ByteDance representative. “We’re excited to see how creators use Ripple to tap into their creativity to soundtrack their own short-form videos.”

Is Ripple the future of digital audio workstations? Who knows. But we do know that it is only a matter of time before TikTok floods with hum-generated music, being that the new app links directly to its sister platform, enabling a seamless segway from music creation to music publication!

This Friday, producer duo HUTS and singer-songwriter HOLT will be unveiling their new collaborative single ‘I’ll Be There’ via HMG. Part electro-pop, part dance track, this one hits an emotional high note. How do we know this? Well, we’re excited to share an exclusive listen ahead of the track’s official debut!

Presave ‘I’ll Be There’

A growling reese bass saturates the low end while HOLT’s impassioned vocals fill up the highs. Together, they span the frequency range, giving the track dimension. Then the track drops from a height of climactic House percussions to a soft landing of vocal-filled EDM-esque breakdowns, culminating in an energetically dynamic song.

HUTS is a chart-topping duo whose music has earned Netflix sync placement. Their smash single ‘Kill My Lonely’ ranked in numerous countries, from Poland to Australia, Germany, Croatia, France, Italy, Belgium, Hungary, Canada, and Ukraine. Similarly, their collaborator HOLT has reached heights in her own right, having co-written the song ‘First Time’ by Kygo and Ellie Goulding.

After Ryuichi Sakamoto’s passing on the 28th of March, his management shared a rather eerie playlist that the 71-year-old curated before losing his ongoing battle with cancer. Titled Funeral, the playlist contains 33 tracks by the likes of collaborator alva noto, French pianist Erik Satie (who makes a number of appearances throughout), and the German Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach to name a few. Curated by a man in the midst of self-grieving, it is a sombre farewell.

“We would like to share the playlist that Ryuichi had been privately compiling to be played at his own funeral to accompany his passing,” said his management. They first shared the playlist on Twitter, tugging at the heartstrings of musicians and fans alike when they tweeted, “He truly was with music until the very end.”
