Same & Different - Altar

'Altar' the new single by Same & Different is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Same & Different journey begins in the middle of spring in Paris, when two children of the 90’s started to play music together. Inspired by the new era of soulful artists (Tom Misch, Mansur Brown, Loyle Carner) and funk masters (Snarky Puppy, Vulfpeck, Mark Lettieri), Xavier and Baptiste belong to this generation of artist who feel music as a mood more than a genre. 

Together they cross over the limits of Lofi Music and aim to push it further. Mixing sweet guitar lines, dreamy synths and splashy bass playing, their passion for the groove speaks for itself.

'Altar' is taken from the Lofi-instrumental EP entitled 'Crossroads' due for release in March 2024.

'Crossroads' EP Tracklist:

- Ushuaïa (3:29)
- Kythira (3:57)
- Le Cluzel (4:54)
- Bab’s Dock (3:38)
- Altar (1:43)

N3URON - Etat du Flux

'Etat du Flux' the latest track by N3URON is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

N3URON is a Seattle based music producer drawing inspiration from nature, philosophy, and neurosciences.  N3URON's goal is to create music that is experienced by listeners physically through deep bass lines and emotionally/cognitively through layered sonic textures and catchy rhythms and melodies.

N3URON pushes the boundaries of sonic innovation with the release of his latest single, "Etat du flux." The track, which translates to "Flow State," is a testament to the artist's ability to capture and convey the essence of inspiration in its purest form. Derived from a captivating experience on a rainy Seattle evening, N3URON entered a creative flow state that became the catalyst for the production of "Etat du flux." The title perfectly encapsulates the immersive journey the listener is about to embark upon, as the artist effortlessly blends atmospheric elements with pulsating beats. N3URON's signature sound, characterized by prominent baselines and stimulating layers of chords and melodies, takes center stage in this latest release. "Etat du flux" invites the audience to get lost in a sonic landscape that mirrors the artist's connection with the creative process.

The single is streaming on SoundCloud and will soon be available on all major streaming platforms, allowing fans of electronic music to experience the magic of N3URON's "Etat du flux."

Glen Neff - Journey Of The Clouds

'Journey of the Clouds' by artist Glen Neff is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Santa Fe musician and painter Glen Neff fuses his love of instrumental melodic improvisation with a steady hand in the digital studio. Blending spacial sound sculptures and globally influenced electronic music with melodic jazz improvisation. Ambient/chill is one definition given to this music, Neff's work will tickle that perhaps dormant spot in your ear canal in some pretty intriguing ways. While there is a heft of traditional African, Punjabi-Bhangra, Eastern European and Middle Eastern influence running through Neff's rhythmic and vocal-sample veins, Neff deftly adds more contemporary meat to the musical muscle, with layers upon layers of synth, live instruments, effects, drum programming and out-of-left-field genre inclusions. It takes a careful listen to sift the latter out, but it’s worth the ride if you want a mellow escape.

Helical Coil - Cytisus Scoparius

New track entitled "Cytisus Scoparius" by the artist Helical Coil, now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

German music producer Helical Coil is a new artist who came up in 2023 with his first releases that year. Still self described as a novice, his track “Cytisus Scoparius” stands out from his discography. The song is deeply atmospheric and takes the listener on a journey from start to finish. Every detail is perfectly coordinated with each other. The sequences provide the driving sound.

Arno Schaaf, known as Helical Coil, was born in northern Germany and now lives in the southern part of Germany. Helical Coil took his first steps into music production in mid-2021. Driven by the attempt to officially release a track as an absolute beginner, he began to delve into the subject of music. Over time he tried out a number of genres (including Trance, EDM), before finally diving deeper into the ambient genre in 2023. Here he tries out different sub-genres. His goal for the near future is to slowly build up his Discog and gain some fans. He creates, mixes and masters his tracks himself in his little home (office) studio using the simplest tools.

Released on January 4th, 2024

Rom - Mammoth

We start the New Year with a track entitled "Mammoth" by Rom now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Rom is joined by the dynamic Ghost Gun, in the latest track "MAMMOTH," the climax of Rom's creative journey in 2023.⁣

"MAMMOTH" is an audacious blend of expansive soundscapes and warm, analogue synthesizer tones. The track is the brainchild of four unique artists, united by friendship and a shared vision for ground breaking music. Our recent work, including Ghost Gun's "Venom," nominated for Best Newcomer EDM/Dance video by the UK Music Video Awards, exemplifies our commitment to excellence in sound and visuals.⁣

The heart of "MAMMOTH" lies in its collaborative spirit. River, known as rrombus, crafted the visual art, infusing the project with a visually striking identity. Charlie, aka romrres, brought the distinct arrangement and sound design that defines the Rom experience. From Ghost Gun, Taylor's mastery over progression and theory keeps the track engaging yet refreshingly simple. Lastly, Reginald's fusion of bass and hip-hop elements adds an undeniable impact.⁣
