Color Theory releases B-side song ‘Juggernaut’

One-man show Color Theory has just released his synthwave B-side song titled ‘Juggernaut’, soon after the release of A-side ‘This Whole Nothing’. Lately, Color Theory has been supported by successful Youtube channels like NewRetroWave, The ’80s Guy, LuigiDonatello, and SoulSearchAndDestroy. His music stream count is fast approaching 3 million plays in total. He is a winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, which resulted in his music being featured in popular games like Just Dance and Rock Band. His music would also be featured on MTV’s The Real World television series.

Brian Hazard(Color Theory) upbringing happened in California. He would begin music performance at a young age and form part of his highschool’s jazz band as a pianist. He would enjoy playing the instrument so much, that he would qualify with a Bachelor of Music Degree in Piano Performance. Brian’s song ‘Ponytail Girl’ fueled a Depeche Mode fan craze. The song was relabeled as Depeche Mode B-side on Napster. The musician was humored by the accident, as he is a huge Depeche Mode Fan.

Colour Theory calls his sound “melancholic synthwave”, and is inspired by bands like Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Baths for their morbid and menacing soundscapes. However, he replicates the tone in murmurs.

Deadmau5 announces headline CUBE v3 show at Brixton Academy

After a hugely successful US tour, including five sold-out nights at the Hollywood Palladium Los Angeles and four at New York’s Avant Gardner Hall, Canadian dance titan deadmau5 has announced he will bring his state-of-the-art CUBE v3 production to London for a highly-anticipated headline show at O2 Academy Brixton on Friday 26th June. Tickets go on sale this Friday 13th March at 10 am from MyTicket.co.uk.

The renowned artist’s most technologically advanced production to date, the boundary-pushing CUBE v3 show runs on code written by deadmau5 himself, making its debut on the UK festival scene last Summer.

Deadmau5’s upcoming O2 Academy Brixton show comes a decade on from his last appearance at the iconic venue, which took place back in April 2010. He has since headlined London’s Printworks venue and Manchester’s Warehouse Project.

Joel Zimmerman, more commonly known as deadmau5, is one of the most respected electronic music producers of modern times. In 2008, Zimmerman broke through with his critically acclaimed third studio album “Random Album Title”, as well as enjoying international chart success with platinum-certified single ‘Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff’. He has since released five critically acclaimed albums, including the Grammy-nominated “4×4=12” and “Album Title Goes Here”, which peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Album Chart. Not stopping there, Zimmerman also produced the soundtrack to Netflix’s 2019 neo-noir thriller film Polar.

Arguably one of the most in-demand live acts in the world, deadmau5 will return to London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 26th June.

Oracle Sisters releases a new song ‘Asc. Scorpio’

Parisian trio Oracle Sisters return today (March 11th) with new single ‘Asc. Scorpio’, a swaying astral pop stomp of surrealist vignettes. Their first new music of 2020, ‘Asc. Scorpio’ is a taste of their long-awaited debut EP due for release later this Spring.

The idea of the song was born when Lewis (lead guitarist) was stung by a scorpion in Jamaica. The bite travelled back to Paris, along with the scorpion which he caught and smuggled through customs.

Sat down with Chris (lead vocals) one afternoon over a drum machine, an acoustic guitar, the newly erected scorpion shrine and a sudden astrological epiphany, they got to writing ‘Asc. Scorpio’. Initially inspired by A Tribe Called Quest, they built upon the drum machine, layering their now-signature three-part harmonies and reverb-drenched guitars over the beats.

Speaking on the collab, Felix Cartal tells us, “In ‘Mine’ each verse is about a different kind of love. In Verse 1 we have been sixteen and your childhood, Verse 2 a post-college adult and, The Bridge is a more mature adult looking back. We wanted it to be folk-ish in melody and in production to emphasize the focus on it being a narrative, really story-driven. Finally, the drop melody is Sophie singing a clean sweet melody and it being distorted kind of like what happens when one looks back on memories. We often remember them differently as time passes”
