Posted in Alternative, Careers, Dance, EDM, Electronic, Indie, Music Review, Pop, Press Release, Single by

Award Winning Orlando-based Indie/Pop LGBTQ Recording Artist Craymo has graced our platform several times and has been a close friend of the Artist Reach camp since we came onto the market. Known for his very versatile and innovative signature sound, Craymo’s tendency to write catchy and anthemic songs is not only apparent, but inspirational as well – and he brings that concept to the forefront full circle with his 20th anniversary release for his hit “One Love, One World (We Are One)”.

Accompanied by a conceptual official music video, this uplifting reggaeton number has Craymo’s signature futuristic style with distinctively versatile and inventive melodies paralleled with the multifaceted and multilayered production value he is well known for. This song without reservation diligently lives up to its title and concept both musically and lyrically, serving up an atmosphere of powerfully wholesome lyrics that touch on many key social and societal issues ranging from equality, unity, conservation and human rights. It’s a song that will easily entice you with its catchiness and at the same time deliver a powerful message just about anyone can identify with. As always, Craymo’s mid-to-high range vocals are brilliantly executed with several implemented angles showcasing his knack for effective harmonies, structures and cohesive measures; giving his audience a taste of something fresh yet still identifiable among the Pop and EDM sensibility.

This song is also proof that even though it’s an oldie, it’s still very much a goodie. This reinvented and reimagined version of a classic song among Craymo’s discography is a more than coherent exercise of shining a light on how an artist evolves over time, and it’s truly an interesting listening experience when you take a listen to the original version of this song then jump into the new version. Craymo’s ability to innovate his sound is more than apparent with this version and every one of his releases have successfully raised the bar from its predecessor just about every time.

“One Love, One World” has also garnered several awards and has been a huge impact on its own merit with its positive humanitarian message, which is expressed through Craymo himself as one of his primary goals with this song specifically. The track won the “Best Pop Dance Song”” and Best Pop Dance Mix” categories in the Fall 2021 Clouzine International Music Awards. The music video also recently won the “Award of Excellence” in the 2022 One-Reeler Short Film Competition and is currently a Finalist for “Best Pop Music Video” in the 2022 Indie Music Channel Awards in Los Angeles. The original music video won “Best Video” in the Worldwide Music Contest. The original song also won the “Best Song” category in the Hollywood Spiritual Film Festival. “One Love, One World” upon its release successfully became a top 10 download for ten consecutive years on the United Nations Project UNESCO website New Songs forPeace.org and was used as a learning aid to teach English to impoverished children in Pang Liu village in China. School teachers from all over the world started downloading the song, teaching to their students who then performed the song at their schools across the USA, Australia, China, Canada and the UK.

Overall, the 20th Anniversary version of this song not only revisits one of Craymo’s most notable and award winning releases, but also reimagines it with several innovative flavors to make it a standout of its calibre. We highly encourage you to take a listen to the original version of the song first, then this new version – that way you can hear just how much Craymo has evolved with his ability as an artist both conceptually and musically. You will not be disappointed in the least. Craymo always delivers the goods and this time is no different, and if anything, he had successfully stepped up his game even more.

Posted in Album, Careers, EDM, Hip Hop, Indie, Music Review, Press Release, Rap by

Iowa-based producer, engineer and rapper Mr. Anderson has amassed an insatiable career path for himself since emerging into the market. Starting out in the music production realm at the age of 14, his inception into the market has been very pivotal, promising, and easily found himself hitting the ground running with his distinctive signature style, multifaceted production techniques and innovative multi genre approach; quickly becoming known as one of the scenes biggest standouts of his calibre. Signed to music collective Listen Stupid, Anderson has put out a vast array of impressive releases over the last few years, collaborating with several prominent artists in the Iowa Hip Hop scene including Tone Da Boss and Silence who have graced our platform more than once.

With Mr. Anderson having several solid releases under his belt, his newest album A Dark Alley In Cedar Rapids sees the rising artist and producer at the top of his game. This 9-track juggernaut features a collaboration of several prominent artists in the Hip Hop world all at the helm of Anderson’s direction and musical vision, encapsulating a multi genre signature sound that goes hard from beginning to end with several dynamic flavors and nostalgic elements. Opening tracks “If You Wanna Be A Rockstar” and “If You Wanna Be A Pornstar” are perfect examples of this, really delving into Mr. Anderson’s versatile approach; combining an anthemic and high energy Pop/EDM flavor with an inventive Hip Hop sensibility at the forefront. Featuring rappers Tone Da Boss, Saint Josh, Silence, Elliot Ness (Da Band) and Ivy Marie all sharing verses and hooks throughout the songs’ durations, these two paralleling openers really showcase the hard hitting aura and atmosphere right out the gate. Mr. Anderson’s low to mid range bars and rhymes are very flavorful, delivering a flow that is crisp in its clarity and original in its execution. If Hip Hop has its own arena-style approach similar to arena-rock, then these two tracks are exactly that. These are big tracks with huge personality, and you can tell Mr. Anderson’s precise attention to detail is very apparent.

Another standout on this record is “Wild Girl”. This synth-heavy track has themes we’ve heard many times before in the Hip Hop and EDM universe, but not executed quite like this. This track’s female feature artist Devmo serves up a tasty verse that not only gives this song character, but attitude altogether. The subtlety in the drums-only verses add a layer of suspense you don’t hear in many songs, it really provides the room for each artist on this track to take the spotlight and deliver a powerful performance where your undivided attention is in full swing. If you want a familiar theme with a very versatile approach, then this track will not disappoint.

One more major highlight of this album is the upbeat heavy hitter “Goonies”. Featuring in-your-face spits from rapper Buukilo, this dynamic track really adds a layer of uniqueness that explores more of Mr. Anderson’s many articulate angles that he serves up throughout this album. This song also demonstrates his ability to put subtlety and suspense in certain areas of the structure that is not only effective with the track’s execution, but really allows the artist honing the verse to really grab the listener’s attention without any unnecessary distractions or post production theatrics. Anderson on every song let’s the artist do the talking without delving into any cheat techniques that may or may not take you out of the element of content; proving that he’s not only an innovative producer, but an authentic one as well.

A Dark Alley In Cedar Rapids is a record that showcases Mr. Anderson’s ability to wear many hats in the industry. He’s not only a producer, but a visionary as well; implementing an array of different angles while successfully utilizing several crucial artists to bring it to life in the most memorable way. It’s an album with staying power – it has the power to stay with you even long after it’s over. And it’ll also entice you to dive into Mr. Anderson’s discography and career as well. It’s a multifaceted and multilayered album that will easily satisfy old fans and reel in many new ones as well. The album is available to pre-save now on several digital music streaming platforms.

Exclusive Artist Interview: Masonx

Posted in Alternative, Careers, EDM, Electronic, Indie, Instrumental, Music Review, Press Release, Rock by

Hailing from the northern west coast scene of Eugene, Oregon, rising multi-musician, artist and producer Masonx (derived from his birth name, Mason) has been on an insatiable industry incline since hitting the ground running in the market around 2020, so far proving that his multifaceted signature sound is not only a fresh one, but innovative as well – combining elements of several genres and styles to create something that is not only effective, but authentic and original. His experience as a musician and producer is very apparent and he really showcases multiple angles of his skill, spirit and writing style in every release – which is why we feel he deserves to be highlighted in this exclusive interview feature.

Specializing primarily in instrumental tracks, Masonx conjures up an Alt-Rock/Dreamwave oriented musical concoction and flavor with his utilization of guitar, bass, synth and drums for material that is all self produced, self performed and self written, respectively. He currently has two albums out and has a slew of material in the works that will be slated for release sometime in the near future. With his very active and determined mindset in the forefront, we decided to sit down with Masonx for an exclusive interview regarding the past, present and future.

•How long have you been active under your artist name?

Officially online as Masonx for almost three years now!

•What music scene/city do you currently represent?

I am currently living in Eugene Oregon and it is full of creative people, luckily i have a few collaborations in the works and finally getting out there as a producer.

•The pandemic has really thrown a wrench into the live music experience and for artists altogether. How has it affected you and your career (if at all)?

The pandemic has been really chaotic youre absolutely right, tragic things have happened and that usually causes artists to create as a coping mechanism. I guess the same goes for me.

•What are some of your music influences?

The main ones I can think of are Enigma, Thievery Corporation, Flying Lotus and so many more.

•What kind of concepts do you tend to write about as an artist? Shine some light on that.

My first album ‘ Paradise Matrix ‘ is a concept album about the future of mankind, where technology is headed and a possible alien presence on this planet. The second album is more organic and less intense, ‘Sacred Gardens ‘ is the concept of finding solace during hard times, its more down to earth and calm.

•If you could put together a dream show or tour, what bands/artists would be on the bill?

Good question! Probably a tour with Thievery Corporation and play some downtempo type tracks I’ve been working on! Someday I hope!

•When is your next release coming out?

August 7th! This album is going to be awesome should be out on all major online outlets. Very excited to share what I’ve been working on.

•What’s in store for you for the rest of 2022 and going into 2023? Give us the goods.

I have so many plans for this year and have so much music in store! An ambient album, a vaporwave album and a drum and bass type album. Also several collaborations with other talented musicians. Good things in store!

Posted in Album, Careers, EDM, Electronic, Hip Hop, Indie, Music Review, Press Release, R&B, Soul by

Fans and enthusiasts of today’s more innovative and ambient musical auras will undoubtedly be captivated by this upcoming July 4th debut release. Written, produced and presented by LA-based DJ/composer and musical mastermind Nathan Whatley through his startup company AlgoRhythm Recordings, the upcoming debut 7-track release Genesis – The Prequel is described as a lo-fi hybrid fusion of sound, creating a fresh and new type of vibration for music listeners to experience. But also goes far beyond it as well both musically and visually.

Genesis – The Prequel is an atmospheric musical deep dive into a fresh take on today’s modern realm from several different angles – and really showcases Nathan Whatley’s musicianship factors both as a writer and producer over the last 20 years; exploring a signature style that is both enticing and original in its execution. This debut record delivers a dynamic and futuristic approach that will easily draw in any fan of today’s DJ and independent producers circuit.

It’s quite the tasty introduction to the record and really sets the tone for the rest of the release.

Another notable track on this record is “Roses”, a song of soothing rhythms and atmospheric swells with some next-level synth leads. This song in particular has a nostalgic feel that could easily align with the early 90s R&B era, but still delves into a layer of originality that sets it apart as something completely on its own. Regardless, this track is an absolute treat and is definitely a standout on the record. One more notable track on this release is the hybrid and futuristic “Cheers”, which closes out the record. This wholesome track is very unique and implements vocal elements that resonate with its innovative approach. This song plays out more like a soundtrack or film score, showcasing an effective angle that explores Whatley’s craft even more thoroughly than some of the previous songs. It fits perfectly with the album’s aura and still manages to offer something different and versatile in its overall execution.

All 7 tracks play out like chapters; delivering something different with each one but all while implementing a signature sound that brings all the elements of the record together into one big wave of atmosphere that is both futuristic and nostalgic. For a debut release, Genesis – The Prequel is absolutely mind blowing with its production value, versatility and originality. It’s an album that will offer up a solid first impression as well as create the necessary buzz among its listeners to build up the anticipation needed for a successful follow up release in the very near future; thus getting ahead in the music market altogether through the power of a powerful release.
