The world music genre got infinitely more otherworldly with Lara Eidi & Dave Manington’s latest composition, Fones

Fones by Dave Manington feat. Lara Eidi

World music composer Dave Manington found the perfect chanteuse for his latest release, Fones, in the singer-songwriter Lara Eidi. Her mystique-filled transcendent vocal timbre resounds around the lines taken from the poem of the same name by the Egyptian poet Constantine P. Cavafy.

After a Waitsy brooding bassline intro, the celestial-ism seeps-in through the luminously rich harmonies and nostalgic guitars, which breed sepia tones under the soaring harmonies. The exoticism within the multicultural jazzy experimentalism makes it all but impossible to capture the true essence of the flamenco laced release. Lara Eidi & Dave Manington truly are among the very few artists that can claim that their sound is completely original. We can’t wait to hear what follows.

Fones was officially released on April 29th; it is now available to stream and purchase via Bandcamp.

Dance music you can really feel: Nightshadow drops special new single ‘All Of Your Love’

Nightshadow emerges from the darkness to bring us a wonderful song to dance to on the new single ‘All Of Your Love‘.

Nightshadow is a Greek mainstream DJ, producer, electronics and computer science student, and re-mixer with a keen ear for a busty beat that makes you blush with excitement when you put on his music and turn it up loud.

He has been dreaming of being a DJ since has was just eight years old when he played around with his Dad’s old turntables. With a real passion for the genre, you can see why he also has a smile on his face and loves what he does. Entertaining the crowd and make people happy through music is the vision and the goal is to get his music out there to the world to enjoy.

When you do something you love, it isn’t really a job but is a passion that you do and get paid for. You can feel his intoxicating exuberance as his music gets you onto that dance floor and makes you happy. This is a true master at work.

The euphoric backing vocals gets you into the mood right away and the beat just somehow gets better and better. This is all about feeling happy and you can’t help but get off your couch and get those feet moving. This is what music is all about after all.

This is the story about wanting to be together with that special soul as you don’t want to waste your time anymore. You are ready for the real thing are waiting to bump into the right person when its meant to be.

After playing all around Greece and London, this is a motivated man who is looking for the next step and he might be onto a winner here. This is exactly the type of song that is a party starter and dance floor slider for the fans who want to be out again.

All Of Your Love‘ from Greek DJ is a Nightshadow is an excellent release and shows that real love is out there; through music.

Hear this catchy new single here on Spotify and see the story on IG.

‘In the Moment’ is the fine new single from Christaleni

Christaleni is back with her fab new track called ‘In the Moment‘ and this is a top effort from this fantastic young singer.

London born Greek artist Christaleni, was born in 1994 and has brought out two singles so far. She likes to share her music fusion of influences with a mix of Latin, European and Greek sounds. This is the great thing about this young singer. She brings her own style to the mix and isn’t trying to copy anyone. I love it when musicians bring their own mix to proceedings rather than trying to fit into any particular box that is so restrictive.

Christaleni is very passionate about all things to do with music, dance and culture. Having only started her musical journey in songwriting in 2019, Christaleni pays homage to her Greek heritage through her music with a modern twist.

Christaleni likes to be ‘In the Moment‘ and this is a song about that. Whether it be about love or music, this terrific young talent with a sweet soul puts on her creativity hat and styles greatly here. A big future awaits if she can stay focused and get that big break.
