DJ G-String has dropped her reflective trance EP, In the Mirror

Posted on 22 April 2022

After garnering over 1 million Spotify streams since her 2020 debut, the Chicagoland vocal house DJ, DJ G-String has released her 5-track EP, In the Mirror, which contains trance remixes of her five top tracks. Fans of Kaskade, Alice Wonderland and tokimonsta won’t want to miss it.

The Euro-inspired EP kicks off through the entrancing progressions in the remix of the affectionately iron wrought hit, Always, before it careers into All These Nights which unapologetically brings in the bass right on the first beat.

After the entrancing hardstyle beats have had their way with you, you’re thrown into the euphonic 90s-style dance hit, Your Love, before the EP comes to a close with the singles Only If and Runaway, which were remixed by P5YCHOH and Chriszio respectively.

Though the DJ G-String moniker only appeared in 2020, the artist behind it has been ingrained in the music scene for over two decades. She started out as the singer, bassist and lyricist in the rock act, Digging4Julie before blowing up as a vocal house sensation.

Currently, she’s a resident DJ on Good Groove Radio, Secret Lounge Radio, Ibiza Stardust Radio and at the Subterranean Music Venue in Chicago.She has also been lauded by electronica tastemakers such as Run the Trap, Clash Magazine, Dancing Astronaut, We Rave You and DJ Times.

Here’s what DJ G-String had to say about her EP

“The title is a symbolic reflection and celebration of what I have built in this dance music ecosystem so far. It was important to emphasise that we are all unique, and sometimes, you just have to stop and look in the mirror to remember who you are and what you love.”

The In The Mirror EP is now available to stream on all major platforms via this link.

You desire that excitement again: Swedish act Moodblanc blend needs and realism on ‘Not The One’

Posted on 22 January 2021

Moodblanc return to bless our souls with their sensationally sensual ambiance with a love twist, on their latest single called ‘Not The One‘.

Inspired by 80’s pop, love and passionate 90’s soul, Sweden’s Moodblanc sets the mood that lights up candles instantly albeit with a warning attached, with their genuine style that alters reality in these dark times.

The vocals are so sultry and real, as they speak the truth of modern day times. You want to be with someone exciting but know that they probably aren’t the right person for you long-term. For the short-term however, this is what you want in the moment, so you can satisfy those cravings you have build up from all these times locked inside our homes. You might fall in-love however, so don’t want to waste your time with someone that isn’t worth it, as you have been let down before. This is the ultimate predicament as you gaze through window, wondering what to do.

With pure production of the very highest standard and lyrics that hit home truthfully, this is an alluring experience that leaves you pondering yourself and those relationships you have currently and from before in your life.

‘Not The One‘ from one of Sweden’s most underrated acts Moodblanc , is a testament to how life has been lately and will be for the foreseeable future. Through music however, we can distract ourselves and work about what we want in life and what type of person we wish to be with. This really is music that takes our minds off normal things and put you in a different world for a few minutes at least.

Hear this excellent track on Spotify and see more on FB.
