Multitalented artist SympL has unleashed the first single off his upcoming full-length album, It’s My World And You’re Just Listening To It slated for release sometime next year. The rap single is called ‘Lie To Me’ and boasts a catchy feature courtesy of The One Lavic as well as a must-watch official music video. As you’ll hear below, the two acts take on different characters as the track centers around critiquing modern social media culture. Check out ‘Lie To Me’ and read what SympL himself has to say about the inspiration behind this record.
“Lie to me” is about social media culture. I wanted to create a metaphor for this & it seemed fitting to delve into Vampire mythology. I saw the seduction and the thirst as well as the roles – borrowed from both Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” and the film, “Nosferatu” as being a perfect context to the playing out of the feeding of egos and superficial values. Just as Dracula relies on his human familiar, Renfield, so does social media culture rely on our celebrities to conquer us.” -SympL

“The EP began as an ode to this town near San Francisco that I visited called Pacifica, where I felt true inner peace and was able to let the past few years of my career fully wash over me. The town reminds me of my childhood trips to southern Maine; the ocean laps against large rock formations and the town feels sleepy and calm. Fishermen dangle their rods into the ocean from a long historic-looking pier, hoping for a bite. The air is misty and crisp, something I don’t experience too often in LA, where I live in a bustling community. During COVID, I had some extremely difficult mental struggles – I was diagnosed with OCD and anxiety/depression consumed everything. In 2021, working on the new music represented a safe place I could escape to just like Pacifica, just like home.”

Since plunging into the electronic music scene in 2016, Serbian-born, Chicago-based producer Kryptogram has immersed listeners in a state of bliss with his groovy concoctions. Emigrating to the US from war-torn Serbia in the early 2000s, kryptogram (born Igor Loncar) grew up in a musically fruitful household. Drawing influences from Chicago house, 90s UK garage, and early-2000s disco-house, he has developed his artistic sound as an intricate combination of inescapable house grooves, crisp production, and soothing melodies.
Following the release of krypt. vol2, the second installment of his exploratory mixtape-style EP series, kryptogram returns with his new single “Taste.” The Serbian producer’s style of music is one you can take anywhere, meticulously crafted and tailored for refined sonic palates and house music purists alike. Out now, “Taste” is a worthy addition to his growing catalogue.
“I loved making ‘Taste,’ it came randomly during a remix production session. I loved its simplicity and I wanted to make some timeless house. I started the dub mix when I was mixing the original and I let the 90s MAW / Kerri Chandler influence take it where it needed to go. That guitar solo was one take of me foolin’ around on the Roland EM2000.” – kryptogram
“Taste” lures listeners in with a tasteful combination of snazzy synth progressions, world-beating UK house drums, and a pulsating, fat bassline. It’s playful and high-energy, a sign of times in the modern dance music world. Emerging in an era during which artists draw inspiration from styles new and old, kryptogram’s refusal to be confined into a single genre is notable and well-timed. Refined in nature but dangerously addictive, “Taste” has the power to light up any dance floor.
Following the release of his latest track “Breathing,” emerging producer Kharfi emerges with encouraging new single “Hold Back My Heart” featuring Mercedes. Out now, this bubbly progressive house tune is brimming with promising cadence, melodic piano synths and boogie-inducing beats. “Hold Back My Heart” is the fourth song to be released off Kharfi’s debut album, AQUARIUM arriving in January 2022.
“Hold Back My Heart” is the main single from my debut album “AQUARIUM,” which will be released in January2022.I teamed up with Mercedes, a young and talented songwriter from Hicksville, NY. The goal is to create a vision for those Dance tracks who are also very deeply emotional, with dark pitched vocals and sad chords. – Kharfi
Composed of delicate chord progressions and captivating claps, “Hold Back My Heart” exemplifies Kharfi’s signature addicting sound by harrowing in on his crisp sound design and ambient breakdowns. Fervent chorus is supported by steady drums, picking-up the pace by introducing spirited synths and funky vocal chops. Submerging listeners in a serotonin induced state with prosperous vocals and a pulsating baseline, “Hold Back My Heart” is a certified pick-me-up.
