Rich Furniss has been on a roll this year delivering amazing music, like his previous single “Suddenly” that has been heating up dance floors all over. Now, he’s back with another tight, disco house single “Get Down” that lives up to the name, driven by a tight groove and infectious piano stabs.

Cleverly incorporating himself as a character within the late 90’s / early 2000’s themed cover art, the production elements of the single embrace classic house, disco, and a piano rhythm that feels like it could have been imported from a Sega Genesis Sonic The Hedgehog cartridge. It’s a track that feels timeless in nature, and already has us excited to what he’s whipping up in the studio to follow.

Here’s what Rich Furniss had to say about it:

“This song was inspired by the video games that helped keep myself and many of my producer friends sane over the pandemic.”

Miami Music Week is back and in full swing for Spring Break 2022. Even though the last two years of coordinating live events were upset by a global pandemic, the South Florida event life are alive and ready to make up for lost time under the tropical sun.

Three years since the last VOYD release, SVDDEN DEATH returns with the next installment in this unique audio/visual journey. Whereas the first and ‘first and a half’ volumes of VOYD were only five and nine tracks respectfully (and even 1.5 was 4 originals, 1 VIP, and 4 remixes), VOYD Vol. II is a staggering 18 tracks totaling a full hour of madness.

Sound design and arrangement are the names of the game with this release. Though to the untrained ear this might all sound like “just another riddim album,” the degree to which every sound is tuned and perfected, and the arrangement therein, is actually mindboggling.

When Your EDM asked SVDDEN DEATH when VOYD Vol. II was coming earlier this month, he gave a predictable answer: “soon.” Little did we know that meant just under three weeks later.

Check out VOYD Vol. II below and be sure to catch his performance at Ultra Music Festival next weekend!

NGHTMRE’s long-awaited upcoming debut album is due out later this year, and we finally get the first single, “Fall Into Me.” Bringing this particular trio of NGHTMRE, SLANDER, and Dylan Matthew together for the first time on an original track (NGHTMRE remixed “First Time”), “Fall Into Me” is a true festival classic.

It incorporates signature elements from each artist, including NGHTMRE’s meticulous production skills and SLANDER’s distinctive sounds with the juxtaposition between peaceful piano chords and melodic bass in the background. Adding to this, the powerful vocals from Dylan Matthew strengthen the already mesmerizing beats of this electric new sound as it takes listeners on a passionate journey.

“I started the original drop idea for ‘Fall Into Me’ just at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. It has been one of my favorite unreleased songs for soooo long and I’m insanely happy to be releasing it.” NGHTMRE states about the single. He continues, “We had been wanting to work on new music together so after I wrote the idea, I passed it off to Dylan Matthew and SLANDER. They really elevated it to the next level! Dylan really captured exactly the vibe I wanted for the vocal (not to mention played all the piano for the song as well in one seamless take). SLANDER and I have always loved making melodic bass music, and this feels like the perfect follow up to our fan favorites ‘Gud Vibrations’ and ‘Feelin Gud.’

We don’t get a whole lot of breaks submissions at YEDM anymore, but when we do it’s great to see them from artists like Keith MacKenzie, a name synonymous with the rise of the Florida breaks scene in the 90s and 00s and one of the original architects of progressive breaks full stop. He also happens to be a big part of this DnBoomer’s origin story, so when fellow OG Reid Speed handed over Play Me‘s most recent remix EP for her single with AIRGLO and Metric Man called “The Spark” out this Friday, March 18…oh, the flashbacks she did induce!

Featuring remixes from Russla & Peter Ashley, WAVHART, Wholio and DIELAHN, on The Spark (the Remixes), Ms. Speed seeks not only to open her stems up to different genres but, aside from MacKenzie, to give a platform to relatively new artists with loads of talent. From the original smooth yet deep ragga-infused mix she put together with fellow LA D&B virtuoso AIRGLO and with reggae vocal legend Metric Man spitting flawlessly over it, there were a lot of directions in which remixers could choose to go. The jazzy intro and overlay, the deep, grinding sub synths, the initial ameny snares, the rumbling vox it’s likely the biggest challenge with these stems was too much good stuff.

All these options is likely why Reid Speed chose to open “The Spark” up to remixing: she knew she’d get a great variety, and indeed that’s the case. Russla & Peter Ashley’s remix is a fast, neuro-tinged grinder that celebrates Metric Man’s Lyrics and highlights the guitar work in the breaks, while WAVHART’s tune is a snappy dancefloor joint bordering on jump up but still containing the original track’s soul and fire. Wholio went oldschool 90s throwback with nearly darkstep vibes and really played up the amens . DIELAHN, on the other hand, converted the track to a cool halftime track which is at once dark, minimal, deep and ravey and takes advantage of the slower tempo to bring some real reggae vibes with Metric Man’s vox at the break. It seems the diverse options here produced loads of interesting remixes.

MacKenzie’s remix stands out not only because of his name and past deeds but because, despite D&B and breaks both being breakbeat in structure, it’s actually quite difficult to convert tempos there. Especially with “The Spark” being a bit faster than the average D&B, it’s likely MacKenzie had to completely rework the beat. The recompression job for the vox was also likely a challenge, but this producer with almost 30 years in the game makes it look effortless, with his trademark progressive breaks and harmonizing synths grounding the track while he takes all those styles in the original and makes them funky af. Adding cinematic, 80s electro-style flourishes and a cool groove to link vox to beat and make it all breaks, this remix is easily as complex as the original while also being smooth and very, very Keith MacKenzie.

A lot of D&B heads in the US got into the genre via breaks, and in places like Florida, New York and Chicago, artists like Keith MacKenzie were instrumental in morphing 120 into 140 and eventually 174, inspiring artists like AK1200, DJ Dara and likely even Reid Speed herself. With so many throwback vibes in “The Spark,” possibly a nod to 90s breaks even being A spark to Reid’s own career and MacKenzie making rumblings of a comeback lately, it stands to reason that this remix EP should contain a slice of the once epic rave culture that was Florida breaks. A history lesson couched in a modern track with remixes looking to the future: nothing could be more Play Me than that.

The Spark (the Remixes) drops this Friday, March 18 on Play Me Records. Click here to pre-order or pre-save.

Nicky Romero is back with his Monocule alias for another dark progressive track, “On My Mind.” This one sees Nicky reunite with fellow Dutchman Tim van Werd. He co-produced the very first Monocule track “Time to Save” back in 2020 (which seems like it was a decade ago.)

“On My Mind” follows the familiar, but fool-proof pattern that all Monocule tracks have taken. A quiet, slow buildup, in this case accompanied by a club-ready vocal track. The production is fairly minimal. The drop consists of the droning beat in the background, with light synths overlaid. A light melody begins to rise over the percussion as we get the vocal refrain “You’re on my mind.”

The track continues with more introspective lyrics over the minimal production. The second drop has tons of production flourishes, as the bassline takes the forefront as well as more synths and a droning bassline too.

Check out the latest from Monocule & Tim van Werd, “On My Mind” out now on Protocol.
