Today, DJ/producer Bruno Martini has emerged with ‘Youngr’ (feat. Shaun Jacobs), released on Armada Music/Universal. The Brazilian star produced the fresh, upbeat House track in tandem with Timbaland (their second collaboration) and is featured in the song’s video along with Brazilian actor and drift car racer Fiuk.

Bruno Martini’s ‘Youngr’ truly is a cross-culture creation. The Brazilian DJ, producer and songwriter co-wrote the track with South Africa native Shaun Jacobs, and recorded it in L.A.’s West Lake Studios with American-born super producer Timbaland. 

The video for ‘Youngr’ was shot in São Paulo, the hometown of 26-year-old Bruno Martini, and tells the  story of a young woman caught between a current (Fiuk) and ex-boyfriend (Martini), all filmed against the backdrop of spectacular drift car stunt performances.

In just a few years, Bruno Martini managed to build a following at some of the world’s biggest festivals and venues, including Creamfields UK, Tomorrowland, Parookaville in Germany and Hi Ibiza in Spain. His international smash called ‘Hear Me Now’ paved the way for the likes of ‘Sun Goes Down’, ‘Never Let Me Go’, ‘Road’, ‘Living on the Outside’, ‘Savages’ and other tracks, and enabled him to generate over 700 million streams along the way. This year, he created an official remix for Zedd’s ‘The Middle’ and worked with Dutch duo Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano. In between festivals, Bruno Martini is working on his first album project, due for release next year.

 If the name Burak Yeter doesn’t ring a bell, you’ve obviously been oblivious to the fact that he just came knocking on the dance music door with a sledgehammer. Off the back of scoring almost 300 million streams on Spotify alone with ‘Tuesday’, the Dutch-Turkish DJ and producer follows up on the mega smash with ‘Wanna Know U’, his debut single on Amsterdam-based record label Armada Music. 

Listen to Burak Yeter- Wanna Know U

As far as label debuts are concerned, chances are you won’t find any better than this one. A stellar productions from the hand of Amsterdam-born talent Burak Yeter, ‘Wanna Know U’ combines scintillating piano chords with amazing vocals and rapid-fire synth shots that hook a listener from start to finish. If this doesn’t get you to slide into party mode, nothing will.

Burak Yeter: “With the help and the connections of my publisher, I flew to Sweden for a studio session and met the writers, Alexander Tidebrink and Caroline Ljungström, there. When we began working on the song, we made the lyrics first. The first track ID was ‘Don’t Wanna Know You’, but we changed it to ‘Wanna Know U’, matched the lyrics to the new title and gave the entire track a make-over. The sound really matches with Armada Music, so when we met Jeroen, Armada Music’s head of A&R, at Tomorrowland, we told him about the song. We sent the demo and the rest is history. I played this song at some big festivals last summer and the reactions of the crowd were amazing, so I’m really hoping everyone will dig this song as much as I do.”

An all-around, Amsterdam-born musician who’s been rocking the classical piano and guitar since a very young age, Burak Yeter is a pure-bred artist currently riding the waves of his own success. After winning the Burn & MTV Dance Heat DJ Contest in 2004 at age 22, he pushed himself further each time he delved into the music scene, gaining more and more of a foothold at an alarming rate. Now, after winning tons of awards and accolades throughout the years, playing at major festivals and scoring a global smash hit with ‘Tuesday’, Burak Yeter is name to be reckoned with within the dance music scene and beyond, and he proves it by coming up with another song meant for international stardom: ‘Wanna Know U’. 

It’s been longer than your average since Pure NRG graced us with a single. In fact you’d need to cast back as far as the early months of summer 2017 to find the pair’s ‘Cala Blanca’ release. 

In their three-year/now-eight-track history, the group’s titles have always come with a certain enigmatic presence (‘Secret Of The Sahara’, ‘Era’, ‘Midnight Blue’, ‘Scarlett’ – you know what we’re saying!). Solarstone & Giuseppe Ottaviani’s latest enrapturer is no exception. Like a moth to the clubfloor flame, here comes ‘Chrysalis’.

With September-end seeing the second edition of his concept album ‘Grotesque – Reworked & Remixed’ hit shelves & stores, into the autumn RAM turns up the release heat again. 

This time it’s single business that’s at hand and ‘Northern Star’ represents the Dutchman’s third union with Susana – the singer behind both ‘Someone Like You’ and the unforgettable ‘RAMelia’. 

When three musicians come together to make music, there are three perspectives, ideologies and agendas to balance. That may prove difficult for some, but for South African electronic band GoodLuck, it only rounds out their already broad-spectrum skill set and allows them to cook up tracks that strike a chord with fans from all over the world. Off the back of their nine #1 charting hits on national radio, they’ve gone for the double digits with the empowering ‘Chasing Dreams’, released on Armada Music.

 

Listen to GoodLuck – Chasing Dreams

 

Sporting an uplifting message that pairs well with the luscious vocals and amazing grooves, ‘Chasing Dreams’ sees GoodLuck conjure up something truly magical. Upbeat, uplifting and even a tad funky, this song helps fans become the dance floor maniac they always wanted to be.

 

Juliet Harding, lead vocalist GoodLuck: “When I wrote ‘Chasing Dreams’, I had this overwhelming feeling, one that we needed to share with the world. At the time, it felt like everything was working against me, and trying to stay positive and motivated was becoming harder and harder. There was a person who came into my life who really helped me see that freedom was the only thing I actually needed and that everything else was a choice. I also realised that true freedom was found in the journey and I really wanted to share this message with our fans. No matter how difficult the circumstances are, you always have a choice to keep following your dreams with an open heart and love in your bones. That’s the story of ‘Chasing Dreams’.”

 

Award-winning electronic band GoodLuck consists of Juliet Harding (vocals), Matthew O’Connell (sax, keys and backing vocals) and Ben Peters (the band’s producer and founder). With their internationally acclaimed release ‘I’ve Been Thinking About You’, they held their own in the Top 5 of ‘Most Shazammed Songs’ for over two months, hit #1 on various radio charts and snatched up the accolade for most played song across all South African radio stations for the month of June in 2016. Having shared the stage with artists such as Bakermat, Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada, Lost Frequencies, Pharrell Williams and Robin Schulz, they are now globally recognized for their high-energy live shows as well as their distinct approach to electronic music, which shines through splendidly in their new single, ‘Chasing Dreams’.

Richard Durand, that masterful DJ, relentless globe-circler and Level 5 caffeine enthusiast, is delighted to present the handshake single for his new long-player. A joint release between Holland’s Magik Muzik and the UK’s Outburst Records, Richard’s ‘The Air I Breathe’ also serves as his striking first time pairing with Ms. Christina Novelli. 

If you want a first taste of what the Amsterdamer’s first album in six years will look & sound like, here’s where you’re gonna get it!

From ‘The Air’s outset, Richard sets the most evocative of scenes, carving it deep with rolling bass concentration, echoic & deeper-timbered percussion and quick-release snares bursts. Moving from background to fore, its pads well up and Richard’s synths start their sweep, while Christina’s harmonic refrains begin to establish their presence.

 

Come the drop, Richard brings all the studio’s spotlights to bear on ‘The Air’s song. Christina burns up the room with a performance that lyrically is as emotionally searching as it is relatable, while its delivery is nothing less than heartrending. Supporting the chorus’ poignancies, one by one Richard reintroduces his production elements, ultimately tying them together to pull off the track’s final altitude-grabbing rapture.
