MORGIN MADISON - FEELS LIKE

Music, Original MixSara NatkinsComment

Continuing his sonic journey through his debut LP, Morgin Madison follows up his wondrous single "Start Again" with another progressive house feat entitled "Feels Like." The refreshing new track is a powerful testament to perseverance. Ripe with nostalgic progressive house elements and warm, swelling synths, "Feels Like" is a euphoric nod to progressive house roots. Combining his musical masterhand with his knack for all things sound design, Morgin Madison further solidifies his rank as one of mau5trap's most promising rising stars. Serving as the third and final single from Morgin's forthcoming debut LP, Living the Phantasm, "Feels Like" and its predecessors, "Far From Home" and "Start Again" all chronicle Madison's creative process. When the year 2020 plunged much of the world into an extended period of tension and gloom, Morgin found himself at home creating music for a time that felt like a distant dream. With the music industry collapsing, he began to ask himself “if this is it, what do I want to say before I go?” The question triggered a creative streak uninhibited by concern for the future, giving him room for expression in its purest form.

Music, Original MixSara NatkinsComment

Bringing his upbeat electro prowess to Judah & The Lion's hit single "Spirit" is breakout artist Lamorn. Putting his own exciting spin on the classic track, Lamorn’s official remix of Judah & The Lion's "Spirit" is part of their official “Spirit” remix package. At only 18-years-old, Lamorn shows a mastery of sonic composition and storytelling with his remix that points to skills well beyond his years, and brings a whole new direction to what an electronic remix can achieve. Pairing Judah Akers powerful vocal performance alongside a dazzling, synth-packed soundscape, Lamorn completely transforms the indie hit into a danceable, electro-ballad. Taking his cues from Judah & The Lion, Lamorn brings the listener along an uplifting, spellbinding journey on self-perseverance and hope. "I knew I wanted to keep the vocals as the main focal point since they pack so much emotion and are so well done," says Lamorn. "Making a remix designed around the vocals was the goal." The track transcends the confines of a typical electronic remix and better serves as a complete reimagining of "Spirit's" powerful messaging as told through the warm rhythms and tones of Lamorn’’s creation. Captivating the listener from his soft, contemplative opening to its climactic, high-energy conclusion, Lamorn pushes the thematic and emotional boundaries of what can be achieved in the world of electronic remixes.

Speaking on the track Able writes, “This is the track that started this project around 2 years ago. Felt it was only right to end on it. I really tried to combine certain elements and make drops that changed in unexpected ways. This is not the end of my music or this style of music for me by any means, just the finale of this specific chapter. Since I finished this project I've been working on so much more music that takes parts of different chapters of my production career and spins them in newer and cooler ways. I'm so beyond excited to share all of it with you!"

GRIFF CLAWSON - THINGS YOU SAID

Music, Original MixAlli Lindsey1 Comment

A topline crooner featured on tracks from electronic heavyweights by the likes of ARTY, Devault, Manila Killa, and more, Griff Clawson’s voice is a lucid dream brought to life. Following his breakout hit “Chasing Highs,” the alternative-pop artist just released his latest solo joint “Things You Said.” A melancholic ballad tinged with acoustic poetry and prose, Griff Clawson’s “Things You Said” harmonizes staggered lyrical lines with rusty guitar plucks. Defined by its meaningful songwriting and romantic spirit, this barebones track is music at its most principle and most profound. Volume up Griff Clawson, we’re listening.
