Interview

Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?

Slanks:
My music style is a dynamic fusion that draws from multiple genres. Primarily, I would describe my sound as a blend of Trap, EDM, Cinematic and Orchestral elements. This genre fusion allows me to craft compositions that range from the energetic and aggressive vibes of Trap to the mysterious and epic atmospheres of Cinematic music. I believe this versatility is a key aspect of my artistic identity, enabling me to evoke a wide range of emotions in my listeners.

Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Slanks:
My musical journey began at a young age when I started learning the piano at 11, laying the foundation for my future pursuits in composition and production. As I honed my skills, I experienced a significant breakthrough at 18 with the release of ‘Pull Up’ – a collaborative effort with fellow producer Squantex. This marked my entry into the music industry and set the stage for a transformative artistic evolution. Inspired by artists like Apashe and 2WEI, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, blending my Trap roots with EDM and Orchestral influences. The result was a style that resonated with audiences and positioned me at many great places. Throughout my career, I’ve garnered rapid recognition through collaborations with esteemed Record Labels such as Actuation Music, Magic Music, Trap Party, Beast Trap and more, showcasing at the same time my ability to connect with a global audience. I have also been supported by many YouTube music channels such as Trap Nation and Trap City, while my tracks and my EP have charted in multiple countries.

Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Slanks:
Absolutely, my first connection with music was a transformative experience that ignited my passion for becoming a music artist. At a young age, -like I already said earlier- I started learning the piano and it was during those early moments of creating melodies and exploring the expressive power of music that I felt an undeniable connection. The realization that I could convey emotions and tell stories through sound sparked a deep love for the art form. This initial connection laid the groundwork for my musical journey, influencing my decision to pursue a career in music production and composition. It was a pivotal moment that set me on the path to becoming the artist I am today.

Nagamag:
Do you think that it’s hard to be a music producer – composer in Greece?

Slanks:
Becoming a music producer and composer is undoubtedly a challenging but incredibly rewarding journey. The music industry here is harsh and competitive, requiring a combination of artistic talent, technical skill and a persistent work ethic. Crafting a unique sound and standing out among the vast array of artists can be demanding, but the creative fulfillment and the ability to connect with audiences make it worthwhile.

Nagamag:
Any finals words for the people who are reading this interview?

Slanks:
To all the amazing people who are reading this interview, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your support and interest in my musical journey. I’m incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to share my passion with you. Your support, whether through streaming, sharing, or simply enjoying the music, means the world to me. Thank you for being a part of this adventure!

Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?

Slanks:
Ty Dolla $ign, FKA twigs, Skrillex, Kanye West Ego Death

Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?

Muenster – Fake News ft Jsun the Prophesor & Kilathon

Categories: Hip Hop, The Latest, Video, Youtube|Tags: , , , , , |

“Highly charged rhythm and melody that electrifies the atmosphere. The flow of vocals fits perfectly into the scene. Words and thoughts to be said have found a way out. The dynamic expression of emotions gives the right tone to the style of the piece.” (Automatically Translated)

“Έντονα φορτισμένος ρυθμός και μελωδία που ηλεκτρίζει την ατμόσφαιρα. Η ροή των φωνητικών ταιριάζει απόλυτα στο σκηνικό. Λόγια και σκέψεις που πρέπει να ειπωθούν έχουν βρει διέξοδο. Η Δυναμική έκφραση συναισθημάτων δίνει το σωστό τόνο στο ύφος του κομματιού.”

Muenster is a versatile wordsmith, a polished and flashy orator, and a prolific national performer. This Austin native/Denton transplant is not your typical Texas rapper. The rhymesayer’s résumé boasts more than a decade of experience and dedication to his craft, evidenced by hundreds of live performances, several Warped Tour regional circuits, and a collection of meticulously crafted recordings that seemingly have no low points. His albums are the listen-on-repeat kind, ones that never give you the urge to skip a track (which is a rarity, especially in the hip-hop community). Muenster seamlessly blends an array of vocal cadences reminiscent of the UK grime scene with a delivery as varied as a late-90s Project Blowed mixtape. Listeners will find sincere, insightful poetics that aren’t afraid to grapple with provocative social and political topics. His cerebral, timely lyrics result in a more fulfilling experience than your typical club banger, but Muenster’s tracks still bring the bang. He showcases technically complex delivery matched with quick-paced lyricism, which comes off as natural and almost effortless, deploying surgically sharp enunciation and precision that somehow results in an insidiously listenable swagger.

Will Wallace & Laurel Smith – GIRLS MONEY CARS (Video)

“Will Wallace & Laurel Smith appear with this Electro super track. Ecstatic and dynamic sound. Wicked bass and lead loops mixed with a breathless voice that immediately stimulates your ears.”

-Nagamag.com

LONDON – DJ and producer Will Wallace and singer- songwriter Laurel Smith unleash a dark-pop club anthem and music video for ‘Girls, Money, Cars’.

A phenomenal new release from Preston’s rising new name in music production, Will Wallace emerges with slick sound and visuals, and Laurel Smith brings the kind of bad-B energy you’d look for in North London’s emerging music scene. The pair have been quietly working on a smash dark-pop meets future bass single.

This collaboration is nothing short of perfect, a cocktail of the work of two seemingly disparate artists, surprising their respective fanbases after the successful release of Will’s upbeat electronic hit ‘Greenlight’ and Laurel’s far moodier ‘Out the Cage’ hit the air waves.

Will’s evolving sound proves he can’t be pinned to one genre – ‘Girls, Money, Cars’ is complex, both pop and trap-heavy yet impressively spacey, hypnotic and rounded. Dripping with unapologetic badass attitude, Laurel commands her breathy controlled vocals over sharp, incisive lyrics that she wrote for this track, pointing to the music industry’s subjugation of women that keeps them trapped in a male-gaze public image.

Dark and delicious,‘Girls, Money, Cars’ illuminates the warped, disorienting reality of entertainment, through an ecstatic, highly-produced mix that seriously ups-the-anti on new wave revenge-anthems.

The creative approach in the video is stellar, immediately hooking us with the nostalgic visuals of Y2K house parties, ironically placed over Laurel’s intimidating vocals, only to take an immaculate left-turn into a climaxing bassline from Will. We anticipate Will’s return to the stage with this creative ensemble, after his roster list of shows played pre-lockdown, including the notorious Don’t Let Daddy Know at the O2 Victoria Warehouse. Be ready to hear Will Wallace’s exhilarating drops on this banger across the clubs this summer, and watch Laurel’s dead-pan, covergirl—bound face on your screen in awe.

Gabdez – WE GO OUT (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Electronica, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“-WE GO OUT- The powerful, deep and slightly philosophical composition that strongly hits the emotions. -Gabdez- managed to record a track that sounds very integral and dimensional.”

“-WE GO OUT- мощная, глубокая, немного философская композиция, которая сильно бьёт по эмоциям. -Gabdez- удалось записать трек, который звучит очень цельно и однопланово.”

-Nagamag.com

Since the beginning, the song is a clear invitation to "Go Out" from this long Covid days!

While the entire world is reborn with the vaccines from the Pandemic time, we all wish to find the happiness and contact life we have lost in the last year.

The melody of the track is built on a pop base of 100BPM, it starts with an electronic beat which wants to underline the energetic mood.

Afetr the first verse, the sound grows with 4/4 kick and deep loop to introduce with a break the second verse which contains the all meaning of freedom, music and party!

Totally produced by "DEZMUSIC", this electro/melodic song with its sound is trying to be a crossover between different music genres pop/deep/trap, light and easy to listen but also enough quick for dancing, like the previous production "Feel it".
