Loop - Single Tracker

New Zealand artist @HarryCharles unveils ‘Visions Of Red’, his debut single for Loop Electronic, the newly launched sub-label of Loop Recordings Aot(ear)oa. Taken from his forthcoming sophomore album MOVEMENT, the track is a richly textured blend of downtempo and organic house, showcasing Harry’s continued exploration of emotive, groove-centric beats and his growth as a producer and live performer.

MOVEMENT, set for release in May 2025, marks Harry’s first full-length album since returning to Aotearoa after years of artistic growth in Berlin. Known for his seamless fusion of live guitar, soulful vocals, and electronic production, Harry's work on this album reflects his deep connection to both his roots and the transformative journey he's experienced abroad.

“The more I grow as an artist, the more I want to evolve into something new. There's a lot that's familiar about this song to me, and there's a fresh feel to it as well - a sign of evolution and a deeper dive into the heart and sound of a dance floor groove,” Harry shares.

Matter of Fact (Extended Mix)

In the spirit of Nils Frahm's emotive minimalism, Italian artist nsiries delivers a transcendent experience with "Into Light." Each note unfolds like a whispered secret, building delicate layers that evolve into cascading emotional swells. The piece balances technical precision with raw vulnerability, creating a soundscape where listeners can find both solace and catharsis. The song features his typical vocal pitching tricks that we already see as his signature sound.

https://ffm.to/blessing-remix

Acclaimed drum & bass duo @Talimusic & Chiccoreli (@liquidlowdown) deliver a fresh remix of ‘Blessing’. The new version maintains the festival-ready vocals from Sianne, while taking the drum & bass sound down the liquid route.

Lush strings and warm piano chords set the mood from the outset, with Sianne’s vocals front and center. As the track builds, it drops into a heavy-hitting blend of punchy drums and gritty bass - retaining its dancefloor energy while adding emotional depth.

As two of Aotearoa’s leading drum & bass artists, MC Tali & DJ Chiccoreli bring years of experience to this release. Their chemistry as both performers and producers has seen them grace stages at major festivals around the globe. While both have a strong catalogue of solo releases, ‘Blessing’ marks their first studio collaboration, with more music on the horizon that continues to explore their rich, signature sound.

 ‘As I Lay Me Down (When the Sun Comes Out Again)’ - a sun-soaked reggae reimagining of Sophie B. Hawkins’ 1995 classic. The track is the latest single from Classic Hits In A Reggae Groove, a bold project pairing iconic vocalists with Jamaica’s finest musicians to breathe new life into legendary songs with an authentic reggae feel.

Hawkins re-recorded her vocals for the track, delivering a modern yet performance that perfectly complements the laid-back groove, skanking guitars, and soaring horns of the all-star reggae band. “I love this version of ‘As I Lay Me Down’ — it fits my mood, my joy of being alive on our planet at this time,” says Hawkins. “What the band do with my music makes me smile, and I’m so happy to share it with you.”

Recorded in Jamaica with full artist involvement, the album features reggae royalty — musicians who’ve performed with the likes of Ziggy Marley, Peter Tosh, and Wyclef Jean. Classic Hits In A Reggae Groove delivers timeless classics with a warm, rootsy twist that feels both fresh and deeply grounded in tradition.

One Day My Mouth Would Be a Trumpet - A summer anthem with a wink.
This final track is where the duo’s chemistry shines brightest — bold trumpets and
a bouncy groove collide to create a proper dancefloor weapon. Equal parts quirky
and catchy, it’s a celebration of rhythm and joy. Just press play and lose yourself
to dance.

Classic Hits In A Reggae Groove presents the latest release from their upcoming album, a new imagining of Tanita Tikaram’s iconic track ‘Twist In My Sobriety’. Kingston Sound System have taken a re-recorded vocal from Tikaram and created a soulful reggae version of the classic.

A collection of Jamaica’s finest musicians, Kingston Sound System have taken the synth-driven original, and given it a new sun-soaked interpretation. The synths are replaced by horns and keys combining, with Tikaram’s breathy vocals perfectly complimenting the laid-back reggae instrumentation. A modern brooding vocal take from Tikaram lends new life to the recording, working hand in hand with a slower reggae tempo to the original.

"Kingston Sound System have fun bringing their reggae vibes to classic tracks by artists including Blondie, and The B-52’s. Now they’ve got their hands on ‘Twist’, I can’t wait for people to check it out!” - Tanita Tikaram

I've always wanted to make afrohouse. It's been my crave for years now. This piece means a lot to me. My favorite time this last week was making this song. Such a perfect vocal for what I was going for. Keinemusik and Francis Mercier vibes for sure! I'm going to start making more music like this.
