AVAION SEEKS TO ‘LOVE AGAIN’ WITH RAW, INTROSPECTIVE SINGLE

AVAION continues to hone his artistic identity with an honest and raw reflection that elevates his studio dexterity into what he describes as a “pure form of my musical character”. With his latest single, ‘Love Again’ listeners are treated to a sombre, treacle smothered earworm that glows with heart-warming emotion. 

From the first notes of ‘Love Again’, AVAION creates a feeling of familiarity, laying down his characteristic melancholic aesthetic from the start, pairing a catchy guitar with his raw, ethereal vocal. This is quickly joined by a synthesized lead that segues perfectly into the low-slung house beat, comprised of a stripped-back rhythm which still maintains AVAION’s unmistakable musicality. To tell this story, AVAION keeps everything simple, allowing the key parts room to shine, resulting in an inescapable appeal that draws you in. 

AVAION’s devoted approach to his art and reluctance to compromise on the vision that lies at the core of himself as a person and an artist has resonated across the world. The result of this mindset led him into the Top 50 Apple Music Charts in eight countries, several Spotify Top 100 lists, and an accumulation of over 8.1 million music streams and 3.5 million YouTube views. His previous release ‘She Dance’ was a single that gave fans a song that personified AVAION as an artist. A song that struck the perfect balance between celebration and bittersweet reflection.

AVAION’s blend of pop, electro and dance elements allows the listener to dream, dance and express in a way that is both euphoric and melancholic for the heart. This unique musical vision from the German native has shown through in recent releases and his much-lauded Jam Sessions, that he possesses an exciting and unheralded flair to capture a particular emotion in a moment in time. Using his art to express his feelings in a cohesive and ever-increasing body of music, AVAION continues to make all the right noises with his head and heart. 

AVAION’s - ‘Love Again’ is out now!

FELIX JAEHN’S ‘NO THERAPY’ RECEIVES THE REMIX TREATMENT FROM VINTAGE CULTURE, BLACK V NECK, AND TOBY ROMEO

OUT NOW VIA UNIVERSAL MUSIC

Felix Jaehn’s ‘No Therapy’ is an LGBTQIA+ anthem released at the tail end of this August to immense commercial success and much critical acclaim. Now, the highly-regarded single, featuring vocals from L.A.-based artist Bryn Christopher and Swedish singer/songwriter Nea, has gotten its much-deserved remix treatment. For ‘No Therapy’, Jaehn has enlisted remix duties from Brazilian dance music talent Vintage Culture, Miami-based DJ duo Black V Neck, and burgeoning 20-year old Austrian DJ/producer Toby Romeo. Out now, all three musicians’ reworks of ‘No Therapy’ are available to listen to across all streaming platforms.

Kicking things off, Vintage Culture’s remix introduces a more club-ready sound to the four-on-the-floor rinser. A propelling beat is accompanied by the light playing of the piano, progressive house-esque synths, and an infectious rhythm that leaves the listener wanting more from the esteemed stalwart. Always with his finger on the pulse, Lukas Ruiz has been producing music since 2012, and currently sits at over 1 billion combined streams across Spotify and YouTube. Ruiz’s remix of ‘No Therapy’ directly follows he and Fancy Inc’s incredibly successful September-released rework of Joel Corry and MNEK’s track ‘Head and Heart’.

Black V Neck takes the reins next, with a fun, bouncy reimagining of the tune. A certified house music jam, the energetic new take flips the original production on its head, opting for a more heart-fluttering approach. Bryn Christopher and Nea’s vocals are flawlessly integrated into the mix, creating a quintessential house heater that’s been clearly primed for dancefloors the world round. Ian Beato and Julian Sacheli are Miami natives who’ve been active in the dance music scene since early 2017. The Dirtybird mainstays recently found major success on the imprint mid-2019, and have kept the momentum going with their remix of John Summits' ‘Deep End’ on Defected, which reached #8 on Beatport's Top 100 Overall chart.

Lastly, Toby Romeo’s remix initially presents the song as a very contemplative piece, before quickly picking up in pace. The piano is prominently featured alongside driving vocals courtesy of Nea and Bryn, with both singer’s soaring voices carrying a distinctively fun energy throughout the remix’s entirety. The 20-year old Salzburg-native has had his finger on the pulse for quite some time, having impressively released his own signature sound release-after-release since 2015. His rework of ‘No Therapy’ directly follows his other June-released remix of Jaehn’s ‘SICKO’.

Fans and listeners of Jaehn’s who initially connected with the genuinely heartfelt message of ‘No Therapy’ can now experience several new fresh takes on the all-inclusive anthem.
