March 14, 2016

We had the chance to chat with OHLAYINDO, the Scandinavian electro-pop duo who are performing at14 SXSW. They recently released a very uplifting new track, Golden Chains. Singer/songwriter Hanna Ponth shares, “‘Golden Chains’ is the kind of song we had wanted to write for a long time, but it was difficult to find the right words. It reflects on how a lot of us who come from privilege value material things ahead of what is really important. The song suggests we take our ‘Golden Chains’ and tear them off – encouraging us all to step back, and reflect on what we could do differently to better ourselves.” Check out the track here: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/247913345″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /] Ohlayindigo is a San Francisco-based electronic pop duo from Oslo, Norway, composed of Ponth and drummer Zak Shrapnell.

January 7, 2016

Metal-EDM icon HEAVYGRINDER, newly made up of DJ Heavygrinder and Nek0, has unleashed their most dynamic, and the most truly transgenre dance music EP to date, Setsuna, through ONFYR Records. HEAVYGRINDER is a duo based out of Los Angeles, California, consisting of world-famous DJ Heavygrinder (aka Bobbie) and her sidekick, Nek0. Their unique blend of metal, electronica and Japanese rock-pop — along with their stunning anime-inspired visual — sets them apart from anything else in the music industry today. Setsuna melds infectious electronic dance elements and fresh Jpop energy with the signature metal edge that has been the cornerstone of the DJ Heavygrinder sound since the very beginning. Setsuna marks the beginning of HEAVYGRINDER as a duo, also shifting the group’s style towards a groundbreaking mixture of Japanese pop-rock with metal overtones. – HEAVYGRINDER Check out the EP here: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/180251855″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /] Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news.
