Check out the latest releases from WhoMadeWho, Qlank and Bonilla!
1. “You Belong To No One” – WhoMadeWho
“You Belong To No One” by Danish trio WhoMadeWho is an empowering reminder about the freedom that comes with embracing individuality and cherishing community. With dreamy instrumentals and lofty vocals, the accompanying music video shows a group of friends laughing, dancing, hugging and frolicking together in an open field. The joy surrounding this group is unmistakable, with contagious smiles radiating across the screen. Although life is often full of expectations and the fear of never being good enough, this track pushes the belief that “you belong to no one” except yourself and maybe even those you love. So go out there and live to the fullest! Never hold back.
2. “Use Somebody” – Arodes, Redd
Our next track is the collaborative new single, “Use Somebody” by Arodes and Redd. The Afro-house track uses vibrant synths and polyphonous vocals, perhaps to create a sense of community among listeners. “You know that I could use somebody,” the lyrics repeat. Spanish DJ and producer Arodes has also announced the launch of his new label, UnReleased. With dance floors blazing and record success on the horizon, Arodes is a force to look out for.
3. “Therapy” – Qlank
Next up on today’s selection is Qlank‘s “Therapy,” a bass-heavy, electronic powerhouse of a song. Produced by Insomniac’s offshoot imprint, IN / ROTATION, the new release brings cutting-edge sound design to the dance floor. “You got a problem / What’s your problem / Can I help you?” vocal loops echo atop layers of accelerating synths. Detroit-based house producer Qlank has risen in popularity in recent years. His “Suffocating” collab with AC Slater has garnered over 13M streams.
4. “Nasti” – Bonilla
With groovy synths and kick drum pulses, “Nasti” by Bonilla is sure to be another staple in the club. Capping at three minutes and 27 seconds, the track is a bit simpler with minimal instrumentals and sporadic vocal cues. Bonilla puts their own personal touch on this tech house song, with infectious grooves forming the foundation of this dance anthem.
5. “One Life” – NOCUI
Wrapping up our list is “One Life” by Berlin-based artist NOCUI, a post-rock/electronic piece that features a potpourri of synth pop elements, from vocoders to 80s-inspired drums to contemporary sound designs. The unique layers give the new track a retro-esque sort of feel, with AI-sounding vocals taking the lead. “One Life” is the fourth track from NOCUI’s upcoming album, Italian Robot.
