MINUIT MACHINE

Sweden have the electroqueen Emmon, France have Minuit Machine if you draw some kind of parallels.

"Cent Fois" is the new single from Minuit Machine and this track is in French, and compare to "Hold Me" from late 2024 this is a more techno inspired track and with a more distinct club sound. 

We´ll see how this track goes, "Hold Me" have been on the most charts and still plays and climbs on charts.

BENDING GRID & JOLIE

One of the weeks early releases is this Synthwave-Vaporwave EP, "Neon Heat" from the constellation of Bending Grid and the smooth beautiful vocal of Jolie that is out now through the Italian label of Retro Reverb Records. 

Pressrelease: 

Step into the electric glow of Neon Heat, the latest single from Bending Grid featuring the powerful vocals of Jolie. This Synthwave, Synthpop, and electro-infused track (120 BPM) tells the story of a woman prowling a futuristic cyberpunk city, navigating neon-lit bars and nightclubs in search of her mate. Consumed by "neon heat," she’s driven by a deep yearning for connection and the ultimate dance to ignite her spirit. 

The lyrics vividly explore human emotions within a cold, high-tech world where technology dominates but the fundamental need for intimacy and understanding remains unchanged. The cyberpunk backdrop not only enhances the song's aesthetic but serves as a metaphor for the challenges of seeking genuine human bonds in an increasingly digital and disconnected age. 

The release is elevated by four unique remixes that reinterpret the track through diverse electronic genres: 

• MAGS delivers a high-energy blend of techno, progressive house, trance, and tech house, raising the tempo to 126 BPM for a pulsing, dancefloor-ready vibe. 

• Valoramous transforms the track into a festival-ready Future Rave and EDM anthem, driving the tempo to an exhilarating 128 BPM. 

• Aftermour stays close to the Synthwave and Synthpop roots, adding rich electro textures while keeping the reflective mood at 120 BPM. 

• Lyst slows the tempo to 115 BPM, crafting a dreamy, atmospheric remix that draws out the track's emotional nuances. 

Neon Heat is a vivid sonic journey through the heart of a cyberpunk city, blending emotional depth with cutting-edge soundscapes. Whether drawn to the original's evocative storytelling or the thrilling energy of the remixes, this release offers something for every listener. 

Let the neon lights guide you to the dance of a lifetime.
