Marco Faraone unveils ‘Remember the Music’ his debut solo Truesoul release

By
Metodi Gogovski
-

Marco Faraone shares a memorable single with Truesoul, ‘Remember the Music’, which stands as his first solo release on the label.

The Italian has been one of the most consistent contributors to Adam Beyer‘s labels dating back over 10 years and it’s always a treat to have on either of the imprints, such is production flex, able to move seamlessly between varying shades of techno and house.

His last original drop on Truesoul was way back in 2012, when he teamed with Luca Agnelli for the after-hours roller ‘Sounds Like‘, so high time he returned.

‘Remember the Music‘ is a celestial gem, one of those special tracks that touches you from the outset, built around a stirring vocal and silky melodies and pads. File under 6am techno tears – a real beauty.

Here’s what Marco Faraone had to say about the release:

“The vocal says everything basically. In a music world where less importance is given to the music nowadays, this track wants to resonate the message that music is the most important thing and this is all we have to remember, and the emotions music gives us.

I tried to write melodies to elevate that message to the next level, while trying to give the listener the most intense emotion possible. I hope it gives that.”

Tim Engelhardt teams up with Sean Doron for ‘Open Doors’ EP on Rose Avenue

German melodic techno producer Tim Engelhardt teams up with Israeli dance star Sean Doron once again for a collaborative EP entitled ‘Open Doors’.

Landing on the RÜFÜS DU SOL-owned Rose Avenue label, joining releases by the likes of Anyma, and Cassian, this four-track EP features two stage-shattering tracks from the pair plus two solo cinematic dance tracks from Engelhardt, who’s arguably become melodic techno’s man of the moment. And, if the two’s April collab ‘So Good’ is anything to go by, listeners know they’re in for a treat.

The EP’s leading track, ‘Open Doors’, featuring vocalist Radoo, re-enacts the instantly recognizable “he’ll open doors” Banks Brothers sample from Moby’s 1999 chill-out anthem ‘Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?’. This vocal fits perfectly with a glistening piano riff and sharp synths, making for an emotional moment on the dancefloor.

The second collaborative track, ‘I Can’t Get Over You’ delves into a deep trance, as the track becomes overshadowed by a domineering pitched down voice uttering the track’s title ominously.

Alongside these, Tim Engelhardt delivers two solo peak-time jams, ‘Falling’ and ‘Luminescence’. The former features signature sweeping synths, and a distinct groove made from gated vocals, while the latter, ‘Luminescence’ revolves around a series of complex arpeggiating high-end synths, over dramatic braaam-style low-ends.

This EP is another reminder of what Tim Engelhardt and Sean Doron, two titans of the melodic techno scene, are capable of together in the studio. The result is a collaborative EP dripping with character, emotion and epic dancefloor drama.

Superstar DJ and producer David Guetta and Grammy-nominated OneRepublic share an acoustic version of the smash-hit single, ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’.

This intimate take on the dance-pop original – an instant Guetta classic – takes the focus away from the dancefloor, introducing gentle acoustic guitar and sweeping cello strings, resulting in an altogether stripped-back, emotive rendition.

‘I Don’t Wanna Wait‘, has skyrocketed to success since its April release. By June, it garnered 250 million global streams and 21 million in the UK, the track also broke into Spotify’s Global Chart at #33. The single has also achieved #1 across European airplay and #1 Dance Radio in the US, as well as a Top 10 single in the Belgium Official Charts.

Shortly following the release of ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait‘, which features the unmistakable vocals of OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, fans were gifted with a music video in late April. Sitting at 28M video views, it was shot at Ultra Music Festival and captures the epic moment Guetta and Tedder premiered the song live to some 60,000 festival-goers, paired with a heartwarming coming together of two romantic ravers.

This mellow acoustic version of ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait‘ by David Guetta and OneRepublic comes just in time for the peak of summer, as both parties begin a season full of exciting shows at huge venues.

Stripping away the electronic elements made for sold-out festival stages, this version of the track makes for dancing in a more intimate setting, however, amplifying the emotive elements of the track that pull at the heartstrings.
