Jet-G releases fervent new single ‘Give Me Air’

‘Give Me Air’ is the sophomore single by London-based quartet Jet-G, released on October 7th via Future London. The quartet is a collaboration of artists (Jolliffe, female vocalist ECKOES, Modestep’s founding member Tony Terror and GENTRY– making up the acronym of the band’s name) all of whom have excelled in prior projects.

‘Give Me Air’ was born from a simple piano idea. It opens with a slow, uncluttered introduction to ECKOES’ brilliant vocals, which have been honed to impart the maximum amount of emotion, and then subtly builds into kinetic instrumentals.

Speaking of the single, ECKOES from JET-G tell us: “We were in a small studio in London Fields during the covid lockdown. Rob (GENTRY) was playing about on the grand piano at the end of a writing session & we just started recording. The guys began to produce as they went & I could hear a melody & lyrics almost immediately. The songs were kind of accidental, but within a few hours, the bones of two singles had been recorded.”

Oddball electronic music producer Race Banyon shares bouncy song ‘Attention’

Race Banyon returns with fast-paced club oriented new single ‘Attention’, released via EMK – the new electronic music platform launched by Kartel Music Group.

The producer crafts an uplifting Chicago House-influenced cut fuelled by a busy summer festival season in his native New Zealand and “the joy of being out hearing dance music live again”. On the flip side, ‘Ride This Out’, sees Race Banyon exploring cathartic euphoria and ‘crying on the dance floor’ emotional and soothing textures, representing his “longing for the club and human connection.”

Diving deeper into the production process Race Banyon explains: “Attention’ is in the pocket of energy that I really enjoy – faster than traditional House but not too far up there. It feels really exciting. I wrote it over the summer, I’d been out dancing quite a bit when I stumbled into this Chicago House, Paul Johnson-esque place. The song features my own singing which was really born out of the desire to not just sample another early 2000s R&B acapella. The lyrics are somewhat meaningless though, they do sound like I’m talking about the particular brand of people I would meet in LA.”

‘Attention’ follows on from the release of ‘EP 2’, a perfectly balanced body of work, singles including high tempo ‘Back & Forth’, the London In Stereo and Indie London-approved ‘Pressure Off’ and deep house R&B-tinged cut ‘We Need It’.featuring late-night cinematic synths, tech-house club constructions and propulsive beats, While his previous releases, including the single ‘Move With Us’ – taken from EP 1, saw support from the likes of Clash, which praised his “experimental take on melody and structure” to the work of Jon Hopkins and James Holden.

Under his Race Banyon alias, Johnston has already garnered the attention of every music platform that count; his collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign and DJ Dahi for Red Bull Sound Select has seen support from the likes of Complex, Dummy, The Fader, Hypebeast and Stereogum, with Red Bull calling him “New Zealand’s next big thing”. While his “tastefully minimalist production,” as defined by Dummy has led to him sharing stages with the likes of Jamie XX, Rustie and Kaytranada, to name a few.

Cultivating a cult following online for the atmospheric pop songs he creates as Lontalius, which opened the doors to a collaboration with Ryan Hemsworth and prompt AnOther Magazine to list him their ‘New Zealand’s New Musical Revolution’ feature – Johnston was only 14 when started making music as Race Banyon – a project which he describes as “production focused and dance oriented”.

Synthwave composer Waveshaper soars to new horizons with latest song

Image credit: Joakim Reimer

Entering orchestral territory with his latest single ‘Lost In The Cloud’, Waveshaper lifts us to new horizons. This track will feature on his upcoming album release Mainframe, which is set for official release on the 17th of September via Waveshaper Music Production. The synthwave producer has been creating melodious electronic tracks for almost a decade now, sharing the stage with the prolific music producer Com Truise. Along with this success, he has featured in the noteworthy documentary The Rise of the Synths.

Pre-save: Mainframe LP

In an in-depth interview with Synthian, the producer commented on the intentions of the forthcoming album: “From the beginning, I wasn´t actually targeting an album release. It started out as an EP but I hit a creative button so I decided to grab on to that inspiration and completed an album.” After reading Waveshaper’s response, we can tell that this producer lets the creativity flow freely.

‘Lost In The Cloud’ on Spotify – iTunes

Unlike the first taster for the album ‘Friends Again’, ‘Lost In The Cloud’ sways towards darker notes and spaces. The track features much lower down the album tracklist and could mean that this album is going to follow a linear storyline of re-connection, hope and despair. We will find out what the rest all means when the album is unveiled to the public in the coming weeks.
