In The Spotlight

MJ Wood – “You Are”

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area, these electro-pop brothers Matt and Josh Woodland share a love of organic, live instruments and electronic music. Josh is based in Provo, Utah, having studied nursing and Matt in San Francisco working in tech. Quarantine forged the idea of creating music together and they are producing their songs remotely. They debuted with “Metro” in 2020.

Written as a love song to Josh’s wife, their new single pays tribute to their retro-dipped, electro-pop sound, while wrapping it in contemporary hues. With shimmering synths and hypnotic beats shaping a mesmeric glow, it’s the infectious hooks and buoyant chorus that makes this jam utterly spellbinding. And with heartfelt lyrics and plush vocals, this lavish, multi-layered groove is pure gold.

In The Spotlight

Michelle Rasky – “Dancing On My Own”

Toronto born and bred, this Canadian singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist is on a lifelong journey into sound. Having drawn inspiration from the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder, she’s forged a rich, genre-bending sound by incorporating various textured retro elements with her jazzy vocals. She released her debut album “What I Meant To Say” in 2002.

Created completely by herself at her home, her new single is filled with all the ingredients to trip the light fantastic and get moving. By giving a smooth, 70s-styled disco vibe a funky bassline and sparkling synths, she sonically marries the past with the present. Bringing on a glitterball and a brightly-lit dancefloor by joining all parts in a scintillating climax, this tune is a bubbly ear-pleaser.
