Smooth Dance with Barbarossa

July 16, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’d be remiss if I didn’t post this track, as I’m really warming to the sound of Barbarossa. On this song, the bass line works just beneath the vocals, providing a groove that gets your feet moving. However, the track also has this bright pop explosion that bursts forth during the chorus that makes the song more than just a minimal electronic dance number. You should all be on the lookout for the new record from the London producer on August 6th when Memphis Industries releases Bloodlines.

Pulsating Tune from Barbarossa

May 15, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The last few years has seen some incredible voices come into the foray, such as Justin Vernon. I don’t know why, but when I think of Barbarossa singer James Mathe, I get the same sensation from him. While he started out as more of an acoustic troubadour, you won’t see that in the rhythmic pulse of his latest single, “Turbine.” You’ll find the song on his latest effort, Bloodlines, which is being released by Memphis Industries on August 8th. By all accounts, this won’t be a stripped down affair, as Mathe aims to broaden his sound. But for me, it’s all about the voice–just take a listen.
