Feather And Badnights’ ‘Wasted Time’ Puts The Best Of Both Artists Into 1 Track

Two budding artist add an exciting addition to their roster with the single “Wasted Time.” With both artists having exquisite one of a kind styles that tons of fans latch onto, the aura ascends to a new level with this single, which perfect blends the highlight aspects they bring to the table all on one track

At the heart of the song is a warm-hearted, future bass leaning single which quickly washes over the listener with a feel of sentimentalism. Reflective and introspective, the pop-incorporation connected with the deeper, meaningful theme makes more a stimulating combination.

Following Feather’s success of his debut EP earlier in the year, Kyle Featherstone has been pouring his soul into making a world fans can lose themselves in via the multi-faceted brand. The imaginative experience gets broader and stronger with each passing release, the solo artist making his dreams come true through a time-testing alias.

Badnights has been in the music game nearly his whole life. Piano and guitar lessons carried him through his childhood, with names like Coldplay, Paramore, and John Mayer inspiring him along the way. His multi-instrumental background only plays as a positive when it comes to his web of creative options to blend into his releases. Honest and true to his goals, Badnights is a man worth following.

“Wasted Time,” acts as an integral musical message in world filled with surface level gimmicks.

Mt. Sierra Returns For Last Song Of The Year ‘When You Hold It Down’

Mt. Sierra has poured the essence of what he’s all about into his now complete 4-track EP and in particular “When You Hold It Down.” Juxtaposing a somber, introverted energy that his earlier teases embodied, his 4th of 5 releases from this EP style a chipper, positive feel that instantly sends a good mood into the room.

“‘When You Hold It Down’ is another song I made mid-pandemic last year as I was wrapping up my time at Icon. It originally started as a homework project for my piano class, and evolved once I found the vocal i centered the track around”.

Built on the platform of progressive house music, Mt. Sierra shows off his chops is an impressive manner on this one. Striking a balance between the club-centered rave culture and the sensibilities of commercial pop, tie in some vocal work to top things off and you have a track oozing with a memorable essence.

This is far from Mt. Sierra’s first track. He previously released music under another alias, titled Matt Yo, where more development took place that helped strengthen the sonic quality fans get to be apart of today.

“I was feeling pretty clever, and appreciative of some of the people in my life at the time, so I worked my magic, and changed some sounds around, messed with the vocal phrasing, and ‘When You Hold It Down’ is the finished product.”

Expect the last single of Mt. Sierra EP soon, until then, dive into the fresh energy this collection has to offer.

ELAC Interview: mau5trap, 2022 + More

Emerging into the electronic music scene in 2021, ELAC is an Australian-based Music Producer and DJ with an audacious persona and a niche for highly energetic atmospheres. Debuting on deadmau5’s well-respected label ‘mau5trap’ with his invigorating single “Blare”, ELAC is ready to showcase to the world his meticulous attention to squelchy baselines and exhilarating breakdowns. Synchronising the nostalgic 2010 Electro-House era with a new-age festival impression, ELAC’s uniquely tailored sound is something you don’t want to sleep on.

Following his debut release on mau5trap, Aussie based artist ELAC comes prepared with his heavily anticipated follow up, ‘Prison Of You’, We caught up with ELAC to get to know him a bit more.

Firstly to those who don’t know you, please introduce yourself and tell us abit about your musical background, and how you got into dance music?

Hey! My name is ELAC, I’m a half alien-half human ELECTRO HOUSE producer based out of Sydney, Australia. I’ve been making music for 7 years under an older alias (props to those that can find out) and debuted my latest project in Sep21!
I discovered dance music at a young age from rabbit hole-ing myself through YouTube. The Goatlord himself, Deadmau5 was my initiation into the scene all those years ago, and a hell of a ride it has been so far!

Your first ever ELAC release was on mau5trap which is quite an achievement, please tell us how that opportunity came about?

Speaking of deadmau5, yes! My debut release came out of his imprint label mau5trap which was so friggen sick. I was approached by mau5trap heavyweights No Mana & EDDIE to release a single of their ELECTROMAG compilation. They really enjoyed my unreleased archive of music and wanted me on the project with them.

Your newest release ‘Prison Of You’ is your latest, tell us a bit about the concept around the record, and the production stages/how it all came into one?

‘Prison of You’ was made deep within the covid-19 lockdowns here in Sydney. It’s been way too long since I’ve been in a dark nightclub listening to banging heavy music, so I was inspired to recapture that sound with some juicy baselines. The track just reminds me of that 2am electro slapper that you’d hear at the peak hour.

Whats coming up for ELAC ahead in 2022?

Been working on a HEAP of collaborations with some well known names in the scene & starting to finalise dates for those which is awesome. Also working hard to expand the project internationally & connect with peers and fans all around the globe. It’s still early days but 2022 is looking exciting for me..

Top 5 tunes at the moment?

KEEP MOVING – Bronson
Tonight – The Funk Hunters, Kotek
Espresso – KEETZ
So Good To Me – Chrizz Luvly
Arrival – VIZE, ALOTT

Listen to ELAC’s latest ‘Prison Of You’ below.

Squired And Cerdin Team Up On Dark Breaks-Inspired Sound In ‘Proxy’

If there are two artists who are eager to stretch their wings post-lockdown area, it’s Squired And Cerdin. Both have unique takes on dance music, embracing a wide array of genre influences which can be sensed within the productions that they make. Now they’ve meshed the best parts of both their styles in “Proxy.”

Doused in a dystopian / cyberpunk setting, the sharp and technical drum work drives the force of the track while the gritty synth inclusion pours in the darkness. The theme present here is as gripping as it is adventurous, the capabilities of both artists glimmering as the sonic adventure scoops the listener up.

With releases on Ultra Music, Proximity Recordings, and Elysian Records, Squired enjoys a good challenge to push the envelope when it comes to expectations musically. He’s shared the stage with names like Pluko, Juelz, Jawns, and Hex Cougar, showing no signs of slowing his role as he continues his rise.

Cerdin has a sense of instrumentation, in particular percussion, that breathes new life into a room. He’s a cratedigger by all accounts, getting into the nitty gritty of the sounds that come his way.

Don’t miss “Proxy,” the new collaboration between two stand out talents that are going places.
