SONG OF THE DAY: Frankmusik – “Chasing Shadows”
To say that I am a fan of Frankmusik is an understatement.? Just as his last single “Maps” was a return to the excellence of his debut album, his new single “Chasing Shadows” reaches new heights of magnificence.? Epic may be a term overused to describe EDM tracks, but it is hard to find another word to describe the magnificence of this track. His voice hits high notes with such beauty, perfection, and emotion that it feels like modern opera with electronic production – something like the Pet Shop Boys would have done for a theatrical score.? His writing is also as intelligent as ever- 67,000 miles an hour is the speed of the earth’s rotation – how often do you get an astronomy lesson in a pop song??? “Chasing Shadows” is not a floorfilling club anthem (though with the right remix – say Audien or tyDi – it could be), it’s a gorgeous, cinematic electronic ballad that makes us anxious to hear his forthcoming ‘Between’ album which is due next month.

SONG OF THE DAY: Francesco Rossi – “Paper Aeroplane”
Looking up information about Italian DJ/producer Francesco Rossi is a bit of a challenge as he shares the name with two famous footballer goalkeepers.? What isn’t a challenge is embracing the warmth of his new single “Paper Aeroplane.”? A summer record that is perfect for tropical vacations, the record fuses deep house, world music, and a touch of jazz with an accessible pop feel. Imagine one of the ‘Western Dream’-era Bob Sinclar records (like “Love Generation” or “World Hold On”) with a vocalist that sounds like James Blunt (instead of Steve Edwards/Gary Pine) and you got an idea of the sound.? As big as progressive, electro, and stadium tracks are at the moment, it’s really refreshing to see big guys like Afrojack, David Guetta and Tiesto supporting this subtle, yet intoxicating deep house monster.? With Pete Tong dubbing it Essential New Tune this past weekend, watch for even wider (and well-deserved) support to make this a big summer favorite.
