Jellyfish come in a variety of types, from the massive Lion’s Mane jellyfish with tentacles over 100 feet long to the tiny, nearly invisible Irukandji, each with unique adaptations suited to their environment. By studying these diverse species, scientists can learn about efficient swimming mechanics, bio-luminescence, and even advanced healing processes, as jellyfish possess remarkable regenerative abilities. Additionally, some jellyfish, like the Turritopsis dohrnii, exhibit biological immortality, offering insights into aging and cellular regeneration that could have implications for human health research.

KIARAA TEAMS WITH SYNTH SORCERER ROBERT PARKER ON ‘FEEL WITH ME’ REMIX

Robert Parker is quickly becoming one of my favorite new producers in the scene. His grasp on the subtleties of 80s sounds is incredibly tight and each new track I hear from him is even more inspirational than the last.” 

Rick Thorpe, Synthetix.fm

Masterful storyteller and captivating performer KIARAA, formerly known as Raquel Kiaraa, is set to release an electrifying remix of her fervent pop gem, "Feel With Me," on November 22, 2024. The revamped track, reimagined by the visionary producer Robert Parker, will drop via Sono Rak Corp, promising to elevate the already vibrant original to new heights.

With over 2 million streams across multiple platforms, KIARAA’s artistic brilliance has garnered critical acclaim from major outlets such as Billboard, Rolling Stone, CLASH Magazine, NOTION, and EARMILK, among others. Known for her unwavering consistency and determination, her journey is nothing short of cinematic. A self-taught vocalist and pianist, KIARAA entered the music scene at 32, and within just a year, she was performing sold-out shows. Blending pop-rock and soul with the fiery energy of Gwen Stefani and the raw, emotional storytelling of Olivia Rodrigo, KIARAA is poised for long-lasting success.

Prodigal producer Robert Parker is a Swedish electronic music icon, who originally trained as a classical pianist, and evolved from creating tracker music in the '90s to producing retro-inspired tracks in the 2000s. His passion for analog synthesizers was ignited in 2009 with the purchase of a Korg Polysix, shaping the trademark sound he’s renowned for today. Parker gained recognition for his critically acclaimed albums, Crystal City (2016) and End of the Night (2018), as well as the soundtrack for the horror film Videoman (2018). 

‘Feel With Me’ is a gripping pop anthem by KIARAA, crafted around pulsating guitar riffs and a soaring chorus which showcases her soulful vocals. Robert Parker’s remix transforms the track into an 80s fever dream, with an infusion of cinematic 80s synths, sweeping atmospherics along with mesmerizing reverb on KIARAA’s vocals, elevating the original track into a soundtrack-ready fantasy. 

Robert Parker shared: “KIARAA’s voice and melody crafting is very inspiring. It’s very rare to me, to immediately find it naturally in place in any musical composition. Therefore it was very joyful work to put it together with my own musical style. I usually cherry pick favorite elements from the 80s and some from the 90s, and then aim to place it in a modern context. It was lots of fun with this track!”

GOOM GUM RETURN TO TRUESOUL WITH ‘EVERYBODY DO CLAP’ EP

Following their impressive Truesoul debut back in August 2023 with ‘Set & Setting’, Goom Gum now return to Drumcode’s Melodic Techno sibling imprint to drop their compulsive new two-track EP ‘Everybody Do Clap’. Out now, the duo’s skillful deployment of deft chord progressions, heavy basslines and infectious trance elements have already attracted sustained support from label boss Adam Beyer, and have also found favour with the likes Solomun, Tale Of Us and Dubfire.

Up first, the EP’s title track ‘Everybody Do Clap’ has a bounding, clappy beat with a huge breakdown to keep ravers on their toes as a processed male vocal title riff soars over rising sirens before a beat of silence and the drop. A fuzzy melodic phrase manages to be spacey but with an organic, soulful vibe as it duets with juddering industrial notes and stabs like a call and response – powerful, intriguing and with heart, as well as energy.

On the flip, ‘Nicotine’ creates a futuristic soundscape with doppler hoover swoops and judders, contrasted with a hopping pizzicato melody becoming more plangent as another monster breakdown builds to a matching drop via a female vocal title riff rising to urgency. Driving beats complete a gripping experience – it’s got to be said, it’s addictive.

Goom Gum have had a great year with standout performances at the likes of Tomorrowland, Ushuaia Ibiza, Techmission Festival (Prague) and Madhouse Beirut, as well as global tour dates in Mexico, Georgia, Hungary, India, Egypt and Thailand, to name a few. Such well-deserved attention has also won the duo releases on Afterlife, Zamna and Tomorrowland Music as well as Truesoul and their very own Avtook imprint. In just under a decade as a duo, they’ve also snagged a place in The Future of Dance 101 Top Producers 2024 (1001 Tracklists).
