Following the critical success of his ‘What Little Time We Have’ EP, folk-pop songwriter and artist, Luke Clerkin, is set to return with a new single on June 25th. ‘Lost in Translation’ is the first of a series of songs recorded remotely with Berlin based producer, Jaako. It furthers Luke’s journey into the Pop music genre.

Talking about the release, Luke said, ‘’This song was written in 2019 when I was on a college exchange in Germany and I found myself ‘lost in translation’, I was dealing with homesickness, and finding it really hard to connect with people. The one thing that was keeping me going was music and it helped me overcome the language and culture barriers that existed.’

“When I was going through this, I met Jaako and together we wrote the song in less than an hour, and we recorded a little live take to go along with it. After this session, we never really spoke again until during the first lockdown when he sent me a demo he made of the live take. I was so blown away by the demo that I knew I had to work more with him, and after some persuading from my end, we made it happen. This song marks the beginning of what I feel is a sound that I’ve been searching years for, and it’s only a small sample of what’s to come from this project.’

Luke Clerkin is a two-time SCC Song Writing competition winning songwriter and artist. He has been playing and releasing music for the past 6 years. His music has gained international airplay and support, whilst also topping the Irish Singer Songwriter Charts on multiple occasions.

Luke is known mostly for playing over 250 gigs in 2015, as a way of honing his craft. Since then, he has headlined famous Dublin venues such as Whelan’s, The Workman’s Club, and The Button Factory. His music has brought him all over the world, with multiple tours of Germany, as well as festival slots in America, The UK, and Ireland.

After returning from finishing a scholarship in the world renowned Popakademie in Germany, Luke released his second EP, What Little Time We Have, in July of 2020. The EP spawned 3 singles that gained critical success and airplay all over the world. 2020 also saw him complete an apprenticeship with Ed Sheeran’s mentor and Nizlopi frontman, Luke Concannon. Now with a new music style and new music to go along with it, Summer 2021 is sure to be an exciting new beginning for Luke!

Trance Wax Radio - Episode 004

London duo ‘My Friend’ and Bristol Producer ‘Dark Arts Club’ come together to perfectly capture the feel good, nostalgic vibes of 90s rave culture with their new release ‘Any Raves’ ft. Keirah Kirton.

Old school rave style breakbeats, big piano riffs and a weighty renegade bass create the perfect backdrop for Keirah’s incredible, soulful vocals. ‘Any Raves’ is an uplifting club record, exuding hope for a memory making summer ahead. 

My Friend say: “We actually wrote this record probably an hour after finding out that we had covid! It’s pretty ironic as the lyric that we got from Kiera goes “In this moment we are free”… In that moment we definitely were not! haha. We had this amazing break sketch from Dark Arts Club that was screaming out for a big 90s piano vibe over the top of it. The record definitely feels positive and hopeful to us, which seems very fitting with regards to what we’ve all been through over the last 2 years. Very much a feel good track, this one.

After being known from the more melodic side of electronic music, Scottish producer https://soundcloud.com/obviouslydan delves into fast-paced, grin inducing melodic techno with his ‘Pearls EP’.

The lead track ‘Pearls’ is led by an infectious, gritty flute motif that grabs your ears and almost forces you to smile with how happy and bouncy it feels. Underpinned with a thumping drum track and a big, bold bass line, this peak time record is a club anthem in the making. 

‘Byson’, on the flip-side is just as club ready as ‘Pearls’ but with a few more of the melodic elements that we’re used to, from an obviouslydan record. Reverbed vocal snippets dance over classic sounding piano stabs, supported by yet another big old bass line. 

Hats off to this young producer - these two are belters!
