Continuing on the hunt for the next charter after 4 back to back releases charting on Beatport in multiple genres, Docka Records presents the next in the series. Enlisting production guru Zachary Zamarripa along with Somni who delivers a strong vocal for their house music masterpiece, “The One”, the track is reminiscent of a classic house music jam complete with a finger snap solo and big chord pianos. With Zach’s most recent album “Outrun” released on Black Hole Records having received large support from Above & Beyond, Don Diablo and a ton of others, “The One” is slayed for sustaining such success.  

On the remix front, having recently finished remixes for JES + Austin Leeds and their 1st original track 'Da Chug' released on System Recordings, Vibonacci & Starward deliver a heavy tech house remix utilizing “The One” as a basis for a dark yet chuggy track. Brining a techno edge to “The One”, Toronto based producers & label founders of Parliament House and China Club Records take select parts of the vocals and patiently grow the elements with a wobbling rhythmic bassline. Recent Icon Collective graduate out of Los Angeles with some heavy production surprises up his sleeve coming for 2017 jumps into a deeper mix of the pack properly reppin for LA. 

“The One” will be accompanied by the next chapter of the developing story to Docka’s experience on Earth, provided by Los Angeles based television and feature film writer, Russ Taylor.

Zachary Zamarripa - The One feat Somni

There are few better ways to celebrate the weekend than throwing on a catchy track with an exciting chorus and upbeat tempo. For that reason, this Saturday installment of Launchpad features some of the best pop and vocal house tracks that are out right now.

Highlights:

Released via Armada Deep last week, Boehm’s “Let’s Give It A Shot” is an upbeat tropical house original comprised of Brandyn Burnette’s warm vocals, very addictive guitar riffs, and a fast-paced kick drum. The proliferation and success of vocal-infused tropical house is not a foreign concept to the current dance music scene, but “Let’s Give It A Shot” stands taller than the rest and will get you counting down the days until summer.

Lauv had a very prolific 2016; the LA-based artist’s “Breathe” has accumulated over one million plays on Spotify and he made his festival debut at Firefly Music Festival. “Breathe” is a beautiful pop song packed with incredibly passionate vocals and very soft guitar chords.

Zagata’s “Starlight” is an 80’s synthwave number that is one of the Montreal-based singer’s best pieces yet. The track kicks off with a brief and playful piano melody but quickly transitions into explosive synth patterns, reverb-laden drum hits, and a emotional vocal hook. “Starlight” truly excels as it maintains a perfect level of nostalgia and equally a modern feel and vibe.

***The Launchpad is a biweekly series showcasing hot new music hand selected by our staff. The tracks in these curated playlists come from both underground and mainstream artists that we love.

Back with his brand new single and first original outing for 2015, Sydney-based DJ/producer phenom FRIENDLESS gives us his outstanding new single “Into The Blue”.

Following on from last year’s heavily supported debut “You” and collaboration with SURFDISCO, “Your Love”, which raised kudos and support from big players the likes of JUSTIN MARTIN, TENSNAKE, MOTEZ, CLAPTONE, CHOCOLATE PUMA, THE GOLDEN BOY, CURSES, MODEK and KASTLE to name a very select few, it’s safe to say this new single comes highly anticipated from such an excitingly fresh artist!

Embarking on a more song-based adventure when compared to his previous efforts, here we get a deeper insight into the mysterious man’s diverse talent and production prowess. Featuring a beautifully haunting and deeply lyrical vocal from Triple J Unearthed discovery HANNAH JOY, who lends her simply breathtaking poetic and delicate delivery to magnificent effect. Giving an overwhelming feeling of being lost in a abyss of sound and space, this gradually builds upon strained emotion and progression to encapsulate a truly unique house music experience.

Bringing their own dance floor focussed re-imaginings to the table, UK’s VANILLA ACE & DHARKFUNKH lead-off with a very smooth bass-driven club cut, Melbourne’s man of the moment TORREN FOOT gives it a rub of chugging floor filler house and fellow Aussie making waves, JACK LOVE completes the set with a well conceived deep and progressive take, you will be hard pressed to choose a favourite!

Friendless - Into The Blue (Torren Foot Remix)

"Breathe"
Written by: Lauv, Michael Matosic
Produced by: Lauv, DallasK

I've watched those eyes
Light up with a smile
River in the not good times
Oh you taught me all that I know

I've seen your soul
Grow just like a rose
Made it through all of those thorns
Girl into the woman I know

And it's killing me, 
me to say 
I'm fine
When I really mean,
Mean to say...

You're my all and more
All I know you taught me
You're my all and more 
But I need room to breathe

Ooh

I found New York
Laying in your arms
We'd Melt into the bedroom floor
Never knew I'd stay for so long

And this truth cuts
Not through one but both
Not through one but both of us
But it's deeper if I hold on

You're my all and more
All I know you taught me
You're my all and more 
but I need room to breathe

I met you when I was 18.

Breathe

Galantis - Love On Me (VAVO & RXTRO Remix)[TNC EXCLUSIVE]

Every avid raver knows the feeling of dancing all night, lost in a reverie of music until the sky brightens and the first fragile fingers of light illuminate the sky. Witnessing the birth of a new day is a cathartic, enchanting experience indeed—one that Plastik Funk has managed to capture perfectly in their single “Sunrise.” Plastik Funk released their blissful anthem “Sunrise” earlier this year, which featured a groovy, trumpet infused bassline complemented by Katt Rose’s bewitching vocals. The duo originally produced a club and extended mix of the track, and after its initial success, they are back with the “Sunrise” Radio mix. This fresh rendition is made mainstream radio friendly with amped up vocals and progressive melodies that practically beg to be sung along to. 

Rafael Ximenez-Carrillo and Mikio Gruschinske are no strangers to producing -yet-energetic house tracks; they have made “bliss house” their mantra and developed a carefully curated sound to match. Their multifaceted music has found a home on the Armada labels, where they have released a multitude of singles, including their electrifying recent hit “Ever.” Plastik Funk’s mission is simple—get people dancing and make them feel good! The duo manage to accomplish this during every live set; they have played at some of the best music festivals and clubs around the world as part of the Armada crew, and each performance has the crowd grooving to singles like ‘Love & Affection” and “Tight.” With a slew of new releases under way for 2017, the future of Plastik Funk has never looked so bright!

DOC017 – RELEASE DATE: 8.02.18 (Beatport/Spotify World Exclusive)

Always seeking to broaden the spectrum of artists on the Docka Records roster, DJ IDeaL and Lady Verse have come together to give present day life to lyrics originally written years ago. Through a vocal rework with reconstructed techno and house elements, ‘Keeper’ was reinvented. The thunderous rolling bass line keeps you hypnotized as the lyricist’s specially selected raps & rhymes make you jump with anticipation of what’s to come.

On the remix front, MASiiVO goes for a melodic progressive rendition with a spacious landscape of sound, seamlessly transitioning and growing through each bar. At the breakdown, the vocals get transformed into an 8-bit black hole with a progressive build up that busts the intensity meters out of this world. From Mexico City, Dos Lokos deliver with their interpretation by merging future house & trap for a fusion worth the download. The big drums and redeveloped rhythm allow the vocals to shine while keeping the body of the track simple & structured.

Rounding off the package is Omega Squad. Actively a part of the underground breaks scene, the Miami bass big-boom-kicks represent as the constant element of the track. The vocals are kept to their true form while also fresh and funky through a variety of vocal edits and chops. Released as the first part of a 2 part remix series, the kick off ‘Keeper’ EP is a sure keeper for your permanent music catalogue.

The story…. 

A comet soars across the Milky Way, sending a message. A warning to planet Earth from Docka, the new savior of the galaxy. There is impending doom brought on by Docka's arch nemesis, Wocka. He would like nothing better than to destroy the earth unless Docka can stop him in time.

Docka is an alien who crashed on Earth after a space battle with the evil Wocka. Agents disguised as ordinary people try to kill Docka on Earth and stop his widespread brainwave communication. Not only does Docka have extraordinary mental powers, his entire body is made of tiny particles which give him massive healing, strength and stamina. He spreads his love of music to the masses until one day, he will be rescued from his home planet.

Docka works with different human artists and elements to produce songs on Earth. The songs are transmission signals, sending messages back to his home planet so he can be rescued. The home planet is also Docka. The people don't have names. They are all one. They are all Docka.
