The New-York based American House and Techno singer-songwriter Angelala found her calling through the dance and techno music scene in Detroit, her home. After being in the electro-pop duo HRT BRK then A&B for about a year, and experiencing the Winter Music Conference in Miami on a spring break trip, she eventually couldn’t resist her passion for creating house music as a soloist. Of course, regular visits to Chicago (the birthplace of house music) would also solidify her drive toward the house scene, and eventually play a role in her making the move to NYC. It was then in NYC Angelala had the revelation of not just wanting to be a spectator of house music but instead embodying it as a creative musician.
Since then, Angelala has gone on to be a part of momentous projects like her first release with Grammy-nominated House Music innovator Todd Terry, and releasing on labels like Inhouse, Terminator, Let There Be House, Grind City, S&S, Pocket Jacks, Break It Down Music, Fidget Music, King Street Sounds, Autektone and Broken Records. Performance-wise, she’s also showcased at legendary NYC venues such as Bowery Electric, Highland Ballroom, Pyramid Club, Pianos, Electric Room, The Rosemont, Macri Park, and many more. Now, Angelala releases on Grammy award-winning Steve “Silk” Hurley‘s label S&S Records once again alongside Tech Us Out and also releases again on King Street Sounds alongside Col Lawton for a 2023 project.
Born and bred in the Welsh city of Swansea, the now London-based brother duo Trutopia (aka Ashleigh and Kristian) are taking the house scene by storm. Bringing their own take on creating classic house music combined with their own elements, it’s no surprise that they’ve been internationally recognized as being a serious house duo within the scene. From consistently releasing labels such as Strictly Rhythm, Nervous Records, and many more, as well as gaining support from the likes of Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, and amassing over 2 million streams on Spotify, the duo shows no sign of slowing down.
As residents of Ibiza Rocks, Trutopia have been shaking up the dancefloors in Ibiza, the UK, Hong Kong, Sydney, and Amsterdam with their top selections and infectious stage presence. Notably, they live by their motto of “keep it moving” — and, that is exactly what you can expect them to be doing in the foreseeable future. As of late, the duo has released their single Lights Off on Get Physical alongside Greta Levaska.
It was only a week ago that Seismic introduced their world-class artist lineup — a lineup with the most celebrated names in the house, techno, and electronic music scene. From November 11th to the 13th, Seismic’s three indoor and outdoor stages: Volcano, Tsunami, and Frequency encapsulated the Texas region with distinctively curated production and sound elements.
Of course, Texas is all about “go big, or go home”, and Seismic truly represented their brand with the festival taking place at The Concourse Project — a seven-acre venue run by the RealMusic Events team. Go big indeed, because the venue was recently nominated by DJ Mag as part of their Best of North America 2022 awards, and was categorically recognized as being one of the “Best Large Clubs” by DJ Mag.
