So today on this turbulently weathered day, we have a gem which is,for a change on this blog, rather new. Late Night Alumni is an interesting mix of dance,trance and the artists affliction to strings that blossom into an myriad of musical soothing. American based Ryan Raddon, aka Kaskade had the idea of combining downtempo music and angelic vocals, and it worked.
Kaskade is famous in his own right, hailing from the Windy City, he helped the advancement of North American electronic music with 4AM, collabs I Remember and Move For Me with frequenter of aT deadmau5. Most recently, he's been moving to the mainstream with Fire In Your New Shoes with Canadian Dragonette. All of this, and he's still going strong. And this project of his is much more chillwave, almost moving into a folktronica kind of flow with the latest album Haunted which just dropped on the 8th. I encourage you guys to check it out.
And I do that because it has gems like this one. Becky Jean Williams does the vocals for the band and her voice is one that resonates through every fiber in these songs. Perfectly fit for these tunes, it really brings to life the already becalming melody. The band is most known for their single Empty Streets. It got underground and club support, despite Ministry of Sound not showing backing for a full album. A remix of it got featured on Tiesto's legendary In Search Of Sunrise compilation. If you're into Trance, check those out, they are amazing. Anyways, what it led to was the lift-off as Late Night Alumni as a full band, not just a short lived project. And I for one an glad of this.
So, download the tune, relax on this Monday night, although it will be at least tomorrow by the time most of you read this, enjoy the song(s). I'm out!
