Artist of the Week: Remergence
If you haven't heard of the English Electronica group Remergence, your missing out! I discovered them a while back on Twitter and have been following the mastermind behind them Karen Woodham since I joined Twitter.
I remember I found them on a #MusicMonday search and Karen had posted there homepage there http://www.rembeatz.co.uk/ , when I got onto the site the embedded music player started running and that was it, I was hooked!
What separates Remergence from other Electronica acts, in my opinion, is the tonal diversity they use in there music. Remergence isn't relying on a single genre of Electronic music that is radio, or rave friendly and getting into a safe spot with it. They are branching out. Sometimes a hard house beat blasting at you, sometimes a trance vibe scoops you up and fly's you into space, and sometimes they use minimalistic expressionism to make you forget there is anything going on around you.. except the music.
I also like that Karen doesn't over dominate, or under dominate her music with vocals. She has a great voice that naturally fits an electronica vibe, but she uses it right. Some songs she will sing all through, other songs she uses her voice as a tool in there arsenal of melodies and delivers outstanding results consistently. No corny, disco boggy fever bull shit. No over synthed techo vocoders. Just a consistently solid vocal range delivered where and when it's needed.
The production quality is spot on. Jake Jones takes the helm on the mixer and does an incredible job of mixing a blend of euphoria and soundscapes, or a sonic wall of power when the song calls for it. Jake also lays down Keys and Drums alongside Karen, and fulfills the mixing, sequencing and engineering duties. Together the duo creates amazing music!
Remergence also takes good care of their fans. Not only does there website stream a near endless amount of material for your listening pleasure, but they offer free tracks, and fan exclusives on a regular basis. Keep your fans happy, and they will keep you happy.
Electronica is a broad, amazing genre of music. People often associate it with raves and clubs, they don't realise that it's in there films, and on there TVs in soundtracks. Remergence is a group that stays true to the roots of Electronica and also paves the future of the genre with there constant innovation and by putting out quality music constantly. I highly recommend them, and if you like good music, especially electronica you need to visit there site and have a listen! You will not be sorry!
