In The Spotlight

ParHasard – “Antidote”

Founded in 2017, this Dutch funky quartet has been dazzling audiences at various festivals, from Sziget in Budapest to the Amsterdam Canalfestival. Comprised of Tos van Eekeren, Sebastiaan and Benjamin van den Eertwegh and Ike van Bergen, they shape R&B, soul, funk, hiphop and jazz into their own sound. Inspired by Earth, Wind & Fire and D’Angelo, they debuted with “Rise Up, Pt.1” in 2019.

Trying to use music to find a cure against toxic traits and thoughts in humans, their new single combines a lyrical cry for help with an energetic sonic bounce. Teasing the senses from the first bass plucks, the song opens up with a fierce funkalicious vibe. Adding a vigorous rhythm, fiery guitars, sweltry synths and the sing-rap styled vocals give this exhilarating groove its melodic medicinal properties.

It’s Butter – “Still In Love”

Formed in 2016 when L.A. native singer, songwriter and guitarist Britta Raci met Columbian drummer Diego Patiño while studying at the Musician’s Institute, this band creates a unique blend of pop, rock and R&B, with drops of other styles thrown in. In 2019 the trio was completed with bassist Johnnie Gilmore. Inspired by Rush, Primus and The Police, they debuted on their EP “Forget About It” in 2016.

Navigating emotive, post-breakup feelings, their new single tells the story of having your heart broken and not yet feeling ready to move on. The fundamentally rock melody is laced with funkalicious grooves, a touch of soul and a drop of jazz. With multi-layered instrumentation from the wild keys, rousing beat and brisk guitars, it’s the radiant vocals that’ll make you fall in love with this jam.
