Honeybeard - Like A Fire (Alex Vecchietti Remix)

This track is a high-energy electronic remix that takes the original ethereal ballad and transforms it into a dance-worthy anthem. The lyrics, which describe watching someone from afar who shines like a star but is out of reach, are set to a fast-paced beat and layered with pulsing synths and catchy hooks. The imagery of the deep cold and the reference to a fire is still present but now it gives a feeling of intensity and energy. The overall mood of the track is one of longing and desire, but with an added layer of excitement and urgency. Perfect for a late-night dance party.

a-ha have announced that their iconic debut album Hunting High And Low will be released for the first time ever in a stunning 6LP boxset.

The boxset of the 1985 album will be released on 24 February, featuring an expanded track selection including demos, extended versions, alternate mixes, and B-sides. It will also feature a collectible rigid slipcase box, containing the album represented across 60 tracks on black 140g vinyl,  and a 64 -page 12”x12” booklet with extensive liner notes and photography.

Hunting High And Low is regarded as one of the most successful debut albums of all-time, and spawned an incredible career for the Norwegian band. With hit singles such as The Sun Always Shines On TV, Love Is Reason, Hunting High And Low and, of course, the iconic Take On Me, a-ha achieved international acclaim, and the album saw them nominated for a Grammy Award in 1986 for Best New Artist.

Regarding the 6LP boxset release, the band said: “Recording Hunting High And Low was such a defining moment and an exciting time in our career and joint collaboration, so revisiting this body of work now – more than 30 years later – feels like inspiration rather than obligation”.

After the introduction to the synthwave scene with their debut album ‘Memories’, Coastal’s long awaited return with ‘Constellations’ is finally here.

Coastal - the Leeds UK based duo consisting of Jonathan Fletcher and Aaron Hetherington - made an instant impression in the Synth and Retrowave scene with their debut release which included the fan favourite -, nostalgia drenched ‘Kyoto’ and the electric, driving anthem ‘Midnight Sky’.

Whilst ‘Memories’ focused on the been and gone - ‘Constellations’ brings us on to a new journey into the very present.

Introduced gently with a simple arpeggio, ‘Constellations’ evolves with layer after layer of midnight ambience and driving bass. The space soaked vocals of Aaron Hetherington tell the story of two former lovers. Now divided - but still filled with wonder on how everything could have been different - before breaking down into a brutally honest reflection of fault and how mental health plays a part in breaking a relationship down.

‘Constellations’ explodes into life with power and pace before closing out with a magnificent saxophone section. ‘Constellations’ covers the emotions brought about by a past relationship we never wanted to end.

Recorded back home in Yorkshire, ‘Constellations’ is the first single from the upcoming 2023 sophomore release ‘Heartbeats’.

P.LIMA, a rising figure in Brazil's Melodic scene, has produced his first Synthwave inspired song Far In Love, which contains dreamy melodies and a catchy female vocal.

In this single, P.LIMA explores the Synthwave genre mixing it with a touch of his artistic signature, by using vocal chops, uplifting melodies, and a powerful breakdown on the second half of the song. He wanted to bring a happy, relaxing, and dreamy vibe to this track. P.LIMA started to produce 'Far In Love' in his home studio in Brazil, and finished it in Australia, where he lives now. The whole idea of the song came after he watched the movie Drive for the first time. The soundtrack of the movie, especially the song Nightcall by Kavisnky, strongly inspired the artist to make a Synthwave inspired track.
