Lowly Light – “Impossible Possibility”
“Impossible Possibility” is the exact kind of “earworm” song that gets stuck in your head and refuses to leave unless you’ve injected every second of it. Award winning songwriter Matt Gorny a.k.a Lowly Light joins forces with Grammy nominated artist Mishell Ivon to craft this infectious nu-disco synth-pop track.
Gorny’s production on “Impossible Possibility” is anchored by its driving bassline and fluttering synths. MishellIvon’s hypnotic vocals are measured but they glide over this lush soundscape like silk, giving the song its soul. Thus, the voice and the instruments ensure that the song never feels static; it’s always grooving. This is an infectious high energy anthem that reminds you that even the most “Impossible Possibility” is within your reach.
Gaz Haz – “Like A Family Photo”
If you felt like trance music was all club bangers with no emotional connectors, allow Gaz Haz to prove you wrong with one of his latest releases “Like A Family Photo”. Falling into the realm of melodic trance, the song builds a warm shimmering atmosphere and evokes the nostalgia of an old memory.
The contrast between the joyful looping synths and vulnerability of the vocals is what makes this song. However, the highlight of “Like A Family Photo” is the gorgeous, recurring flute melody. It is the heart of this piece and conveys its core message. Gazhaz truly uses the trance genre here to connect with our emotions, proving that the genre has a lot of heart.
Mission Creep – “(What Ever Happened To The) Neutron Bomb (?)”
You just know that when you encounter a song with a long, eccentric title such as “(What Ever Happened To The) Neutron Bomb (?)” you can expect a fun, chaotic soundscape that matches its energy. Hailing from Massetchuchets, Mission Creep’s entire schtick is blending retro soul jazz with futuristic electronic grooves.
It has a frantic, almost whimsical vibe that captures the artist’s self described “atom punk” and “gogo jazz” spirit. Moreover, it evokes the imagery of a high stakes speed vintage spy thriller film with its syncopated percussion and soulful bass. Mission Creep adds a lot of eclectic blends, such as layering saxophone runs with shifting grooves and distorted bits of dialogue. Ultimately, this quirky mix of jazz instrumentals over modern elements showcase the wild, unpredictable energy promised by the title.
