Freestyle Legends Form A New Duo LisCyn + Release Music Video
Freestyle is back in fashion! We are pleased to hear once again the melodic vocals of Lisette Melendez and Cynthia Todino as they’ve just formed the duo LisCyn. Both legendary divas of the genre have a long trajectory in the music industry. Many of their hits were praised by U.S. radio and in mainstream dance clubs in the mid-to-late 1980s. Nowadays, they promote “I Can’t Change Your Mind” prod. by Carlos “After Dark” Berrios.
If they quickly topped the charts in the past, there’s no doubt this smash hit should do the same. They reward loyal fans with an enchanting music video. I swear I’m addicted to the chorus and can’t stop bobbing my head to its dancey beats. What’s more, there’s an EP available to stream via Spotify. DJs can consider playing the extended version or the remix by Albert Cabrera aka Latin Rascals in their next sets. Enjoy it!

Marten Hørger continues his hot streak of this year’s singles with the new self-released piece “Love All Night,” which perfectly represents his already energetic signature style. The new record begins with plucky melodies underneath a soulful vocal, and the lyrics immediately set the tone for a sultry and dance-worthy gem.
Marten swiftly ups the ante by incorporating deep, growling basslines that will have the crowd stomping, coupled with undulating synths, to hold peak energy throughout the drop. “Love All Night” is a winning combination of appealing vocals, dynamic and groovy rhythms, and danceable beats, making for a future club and festival anthem. It follows the German house maestro’s “Ill Behavior” on Spinnin’ Records, his recent collaboration “The Freaks” with David Guetta, and “Get Real High” with Shift K3Y at Tomorrowland Music.
”’Love All Night’ is a track that holds a special place in my heart. Normally, I write and produce all my songs fully on my own, but for this time I created this tune with a singer and songwriter and every time I perform it, the crowd’s response is just electrifying. I’m so happy about this one.” — Marten Hørger

BLVMENKIND just released his new single, “On My Own,” featuring Tom Wavy via Paradise Lost. The Swiss native, currently based in Rüti, dropped his first official single “Dream With You” with Sam Darton back in 2017. An immediate success, it gained over 10 million listeners on Spotify, YouTube, and Soundcloud. Since then, he has received support from Limmattaler Zeitung Newspaper and was selected as an artist to watch in 2020 by the Swiss national radio station SRF3. He has also received support from popular YouTube channels SoundOfSoulRecords, and La Belle Musique and has appeared at RADAR Festival and EXIL Club in Zurich, as well as supporting popular French DJ Fakear on his Talisman 2023 Tour.
Born in 1998, Gabriel Brönnimann, BLVMENKIND, was thrust into music at an early age. At seven, his mother tragically passed away. To overcome the loss, he began making music, eventually picking up the Cello a few years later. But, after locating demo software for music production online, he switched to electronic production. He was deeply Inspired by the likes of Flume, Jai Paul, M83, Pink Floyd, Frank Ocean, Mura Masa, Dr. Dre and many more, eventually opening up his production style to a variety of genres, combining Electronica, Hip-Hop, Pop, Classical music and experimental sound design to create something fresh and unique. Something he could call his own.
“On My Own” is a stunning blend of Drum and Bass and Pop. The sultry vocals of Tom Wavy give the track plenty of emotion and substance, while beautiful melancholic chords and sporadic effects create an incredibly lush sonic atmosphere. Contrasted by the in-your-face DnB drums, the song steadily builds and builds, as the lyrics tell a story of loneliness, grief, and a love-lost. Waiting for the storm to pass, waiting for the sun to shine again, the clouds eventually part for the final break as the track goes full DnB, exploding into life with a massive wobbling bang. It’s intricate, and incredibly well produced, locked and loaded with emotion.
BLVMENKIND had this to say: “‘On My Own’ is a song that I created quite early in the album production cycle in 2018. Back then, it only was a rough demo of a piano melody and a drum and bass loop. It stuck with me because the melody is very melancholic and lonesome but still has an optimistic feeling to it, which very well presented the situation I was in at that point of life but still is relatable today”.
