LEANDRO DA SILVA CELEBRATES A YEAR OF UNFORGETTABLE MUSIC WITH NEW SINGLE "BREATHE"

PLACES 9TH IN 1001TRACKLISTS' 'TOP 101 PRODUCERS'

Leandro Da Silva has been a tenacious force on the electronic music circuit for a commendable number of years, known for his groove-inducing rhythms and driving beats. Hot on the heels of his #9 placement in 1001Tracklists’ Top 101 Producers chart, the Italo Brazilian sensation joins forces with Matt Kerley and Rion S for his new single “Breathe”, adding another energetic house anthem to his prolific discography - out now on all streaming platforms via Altra Moda Music.

The almost 6-minute endeavour opens with an underground tone that presents a darker edge to Leandro’s usual uplifting production style – true testament to his flourishing versatility. Offering a masterclass in electronic music production, the house music honcho layers scintillating synths with deep, groovy percussive elements, creating a galvanised backdrop to Rion S’ rich vocal line. The contrast between vibrant synths and dark, soulful tones makes for a hypnotic experience, engrossing the listener in infectious rhythms.

No stranger to 1001Tracklists’ Top 101 Producers chart, Leandro’s slew of globally-adored 2020 releases has no doubt aided in making this one of his most successful years to date. Breaking into the top 10 for the first time in his career, the hyper-talented producer joins dance music’s elite, charting alongside such names as Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Oliver Heldens and Tiësto.

“I still look at the Top 10 in disbelief, with a ‘what am I doing here’ face - it doesn't seem real to me. This is the fourth year in a row that I have placed in 1001Tracklists, having previously achieved 11th, 21st and 34th. At last, after a lot of music and amazing support from my colleagues, I have made it into the Top 10! This big achievement will help me to take the next step in my career.” – Leandro Da Silva

2020 has undoubtedly been a defining year for Leandro, packed with timeless hits and career milestones, including his Parlophone-released remix of David Guetta and Sia’s “Flames”, which reached No.1 on Beatport and has surpassed well over 7 million streams on Spotify alone. In a world centred around genre classification, Leandro’s alluring strain of house music appears to follow its own path and has proved commonplace among the touring playlists of dance music’s biggest names. Closing a chapter on his most fruitful year of music to date, Leandro continues to cement himself as an indispensable talent on the electronic music landscape.

NOEL HOLLER RELEASES NEW SINGLE 'POWERLESS'

COVER OF NELLY FURTADO'S 2003 HIT
FEATURES THE VOCAL TALENT OF 
GERMAN SINGER/SONGWRITER JONA SELLE

OUT NOW VIA AIRFORCE1 RECORDS 

German DJ/producer Noel Holler is back on the release radar with a new single, ‘Powerless’. A dance music cover of Nelly Furtado’s groundbreaking 2003 masterpiece of the same name, the new reinterpreted version features vocals from fellow German, singer/songwriter, Jona Selle. The new tune marks the talent’s third musical offering of the new decade, with his July-released song, ‘Every Morning’ featuring Leony still performing well. Out now on Universal Music, ‘Powerless’ is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.

The track immediately begins with a soaring vocal alongside a catchy, propelling beat. The energetic, feelgood nature can be audibly heard throughout the lively original production’s nearly three-minute runtime. The source material’s slower rhythm is opted for a more fast-paced tone, in turn truly transforming the song into a quintessential electronic dance music hit.

Noel Holler is a 23-year old rising dance music talent hailing from Bielefeld, Germany. The DJ/producer’s recently-released tracks have marked key pivotal points in his career, with his summer-released tune ‘Every Morning’, featuring 23-year old German singer Leony and produced by Berlin-based VIZE, going on to garner support and remixes from revered artists the likes of Hamburg-based DJ trio Lanné, The Netherlands-based DJ duo Bougenvilla, in addition to North Rhine-Westphalia-based Maxmillion. Since its release at the end of this July, it’s gone on to impressively receive over 1 million combined streams across all platforms, an exciting feat for any up-and-coming producer.

On an upward trajectory to success, Noel Holler’s new single ‘Powerless’ is sure to be a certified hit, and is at its core a refreshing rework that builds upon its base material in all the best ways possible.

RYAN MURGATROYD & SOBANTWANA TEAM UP FOR POWERFUL VOCAL HOUSE CUT, ON MY MIND

OUT NOW ON SWOON RECORDINGS

Following the hefty international success of their debut collaboration Wooma on Swoon Recordings back in July, and with their mammoth follow up Khuzeka on Get Physical still dominating airwaves and playlists the world over, iconic South African producer Ryan Murgatroyd and hotly-tipped vocalist Sobantwana now team up for their third collaborative outing, as they unveil the incredible new single, On My Mind.

Out now via Ryan’s burgeoning Swoon Recordings imprint, On My Mind sees Murgatroyd make a noticeable departure from the afro-influenced records he’s been putting out over the past twelve months, as he harks back to the classic vocal house roots championed throughout his early career for an impressive tenth release on Swoon.

An evocative, big room summer anthem, with elements reminiscent of his 2007 hit ‘Music Makes Me Feel’ on Toolroom, Ryan brings the old-school house sound right into the twenty-first century with mind-bending acid basslines, avantguard production techniques and an impossibly infectious top line courtesy of the aforementioned Sobantwana.

Speaking about the release, Ryan commented:

"This track may seem like a new direction for me but truthfully I've been playing with vocal and filter house influences for a few years in my music. I wanted to do a classic house hook that sounded instantly like an old school classic but with a new take on the sonics. The acid riff takes it home and Sobanatwana, who normally does this really eclectic African sound, really shines in this disco queen context"

Ryan Murgatroyd feat. Sobantwana – On My Mind is out now via Swoon Recordings.
