SONG OF THE DAY: Conjure One ft Aruna – “Still Holding On”

Confession here.? I have been a fan of producer Rhys Fulber for many years – through his work as Front Line Assembly, Delerium and Conjure One.? I expect a lot from him and when I get a song like “Still Holding On” it’s nice to see he continues to deliver.? Teaming up with singer/songrwriter Aruna (who skills are drastically underused IMHO),? he has made a track that isn’t exactly ambient yet has a melodic groove.? There are elements of electro in there but blended in such a way that the overall feeling is still mellow and pretty, rather than harsh or aggressive.? Aruna sounds great, as always, and her top line fits the track perfectly with a chorus that is quite memorable. DJs wanting a mix for their club sets will like the mixes by Arisen Flame (which might actually be Rhys) and Clinton VanSciver – both of which combine downtempo melodic breaks with stomping energy.
