SONIC SORCERER TOBIAS BERGSON RELEASES ‘ONE DAY’ OUT NOW ON PLAYY. RECORDS

Emerging producer and DJ Tobias Bergson shared a new single, ‘One Day’, on October 25th, 2024 via PLAYY. Records. The track received support from KCRW's Metropolis show, national radio station CBC Music's Afterdark Show, and House Music With Love. Additionally, ‘One Day’ has been added to the Spotify playlist Electronic Rising. Boasting a whopping 180 million streams across platforms, support from publications like DJ Magazine and 1001 Tracklists, and praise from DJ luminaries such as Don Diablo, Lost Frequencies and Steve Aoki. His single 'Voices' reached over 22 Million streams followed by 'Sunset Wave' with over 17 Million streams and counting. Additionally, Tobias has previously released via major labels Armada and Universal Austria. Performing at venues and festivals such as Spring Festival (Graz, Austria) around Europe, receiving support from editorial Spotify playlists such as Chillout Lounge, Chill Tracks, and Deep House Relax to mention a few, Bergson has been carving a place for himself in the industry and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

The Austrian producer creates emotive, melancholic tracks that evoke euphoria with a uniquely relatable touch. Bergson’s passion for music began at 17, not through traditional instruments but by immersing himself in programming and music production on his computer. He pulls influences from a vast array of genres including deep house, techno, progressive, lounge, and house. Inspired by Deadmau5, Ben Böhmer, Rampa and Chris Malinchak, his mesmerising tracks are reminiscent of a vast array of influences. ‘One Day’ will ensnare fans of Keinemusik, &ME and Adam Port. At the heart of Bergson’s work is a desire to convey his emotions and experiences, resulting in intricate, haunting melodies that offer a melancholic yet familiar atmosphere. Exploring Bergson's discography reveals a rich tapestry of sound and deeply-felt artistry. 

‘One Day’ is a departure from Tobias’ previous single ‘Clear Your Mind’, trading the spacious progressive house synthscape for a percussive Afro-Garage-House bopper that showcases soulful vocal layers reminiscent of Senegalese legend Youssou N'Dour’s work. A hypnotic, groovy dancefloor number, this track is bound to get the listener moving.

Tobias Bergson shared: “I think 'One Day' is a healthy mix of Afro House and a UK Garage beat. I’ve been producing Afro House on and off for over 2 years now, but so far it hasn't been of interest to the labels… I know 'One Day' isn’t really an Afro House track as one would typically know it, but that was exactly what made it interesting—to produce a song with Afro House vocals but without the usual Afro House beat.”

JOANNA COELHO'S NEW PROJECTS: 2 TRACKS AND AN EP FROM PSYTRANCE TO RAWSTYLE.

The Brazilian artist continues to break boundaries and create music of all colors.
Labels like TMinus or Sonaxx as well as a track with two versions for her own label, Raverse Records.

Joanna Coelho is one of the most interesting figures of the international hard techno scene. A cyclone in the booth and a multifaceted artist who mixes three tracks, dances and even contributes her own vocals. That's why her sets are such an experience. This has made her travel the world playing in places like Spain, Colombia, Austria, Germany, Argentina, France or Czech Republic. In addition to gaining the support of artists such as 999999999, Shlomo, Dax J or even Amelie Lens.

Talking about her productions, November will be a very prolific month for her. Starting on the 1st with 'Macete' a track that has two variants, both the ¨bouncy version¨ and the ¨hard version¨. It stands out for the speed of concatenation of its kicks. The first ones of groovy style and the second industrial ones that accompany the same vocals and melody. It is a track full of dynamism that represents very well the essence of Joanna and that we already have available in Raverse Records, her own label.
We continue with 'Make you Move' an EP that was released on November 8th on the English label TMinus Records. Composed of three tracks, it unites several genres but has a constant which is the rhythm. In the first track 'Another One' there we can listen to hardgroove with hard techno kicks. A linear but dynamic sound that envelops the listener and launches him perfectly towards the next two tracks.

'Make You Move' is a darker but equally dynamic track. It combines the vocals that launch the message ¨I wanna make you move” with hard techno kicks of all kinds, highlighting an industrial kick that is maintained during almost all the theme and guides it. On the other hand, we have synths and acids that create drops which break using this same variety of sounds. A trip at full speed guided by a message that forces you not to stop dancing.

The EP culminates with 'Warrior', perhaps the most complete track of all as it mixes the industrial hard techno with a psy base, a melody and a female vocal that puts calm to the madness without losing intensity. A track where Joanna demonstrates her ability as a producer going out of her comfort zone to get a great result, and where the creation of the drops announces that it will break into something destructive, but they do it with an angelic voice. This surprises and gives it a mysticism very appreciable.

Speaking of angelic voices (or rather demonic) let's go with the latest release, 'Bad Bitch' a collaboration with Paul Clark under the German label Sonaxx to be released on November 29th. A track that combines a very high level of production at the level of hard techno. Rises and falls of intensity and a tempo that grabs you and only releases you when it breaks into big drops with the icing on the cake, Joanna's own voice.

A voice that fits perfectly with the classic intensity of a hard techno track and enhances it even more and that will be a bomb when it plays live. Although she already did it in sets of legends of the genre like Rebekah.

And this is just the beginning because Joanna Coelho has been in the studio for a long time and is going to finish the year in a big way in terms of productions. In addition, a new European tour will soon be unveiled where we will see all these tracks and many more that combined with the style and energy of the artist, will shake all the booths and dance floors she steps on.
