Songwriter, Producer, and live electronic artist Mondingo, has officially launched his new chapter in music with the release of ‘You,’ the first single from his forthcoming album ‘Island’. Released under his newly established label, MOODSHINE Records, the track sets the stage for what promises to be a deeply personal and evocative body of work.

‘You’ is a tender ode to love and partnership, encapsulating the beauty of shared journeys and the meaning found in companionship, about the inspiration behind this production Mondingo mentioned:

‘The song expresses that no matter how beautiful the world is, it’s meaningless without someone to share it with.’

This sentiment resonates throughout the track, infusing it with an emotional depth that bridges the personal with the universal, displaying Mondingo’s unique sound, style and approach to Electronic music production.

Musically, ‘You’ is an immersive experience, fusing Mondingo’s signature blend of electronic and acoustic elements; a steady rhythm and uplifting synthlines and pads open the track, while textured layers and a well-rounded low end carry it forward. Mondingo’s distinctive vocal performance anchors the piece, guiding listeners through an uplifting breakdown that unravels the track’s vibrant colors. The result is a soundscape that is both intimate and expansive, reflecting Mondingo’s creative ethos of combining emotive songwriting with intricate sound design.

‘You’ serves as a compelling teaser for ‘Island,’ a debut album written, produced, and mixed at Durbuy Music, Mondingo’s state-of-the-art studio nestled in the heart of nature. Drawing inspiration from the likes of RÜFÜS DU SOL and Monolink, ‘Island’ promises to be an exploration of organic and electronic elements that push beyond traditional dancefloor boundaries while maintaining Mondingo’s deeply melodic touch.
As Mondingo steps into the spotlight with this release, inviting listeners to join his sonic world, while he promises more music on the way, it’s certain that this is just the beginning of an inviting journey, so make sure to follow him across social media to remain updated on his new releases and projects. ‘You’ is out now and available on all major online stores and streaming platforms.

In the world of deep house there’s a new talent emerging from Virginia. Xtaosea is a rapidly developing artist who first appeared in 2024 with her debut single ‘Show Me The Way.’ She’s already dropped a further 3 tracks this year and now her fourth song of the year ‘Waterfall’ is here.

There’s a great variety in instrumentation across the track from the brooding bassline of the intro to the subtle yet effective percussion in the verses. With interspersed ear candy from start to finish ‘Waterfall’ feels fresh through every section alongside having excellent vocal production. The track is designed to work all season long from sunny days on the beach to late nights out on the town.

Her work rate having released 4 singles this year is impressive as it is, however, she’s turning up the wick with 2 albums planned for later in the year. Expect to see diverse sounds across the albums with one aimed to be a vibrant dance album, while the other will be a faith-based album that ventures into spiritual themes.

There’s no doubt that there’s plenty to look forward to from Xtaosea in the near future with her admirable work rate and fast-growing talent. Keep an eye out on this vibrant, versatile, Virginian.
