    Tune of the Week // Fejká feat. Hildur – Twilight

    Fejka - tune of the week - nessymon

    Every now and again, you click play and magic happens. It just so happened that I was skimming through some emails and this was buried within them. It was love at first listen.

    Tune of the Week – Fejká featuring Hildur – Twilight

    From the opening second of Twilight, you get the feeling that this track is something special. Understated, dreamlike, delicate and ethereal, the beat slowly builds and takes you to a happy space. This is a track to get lost in, a track to lose yourself, or even find yourself.

    Fejká is a 21 year old producer who is studying audiovisual media in university. Twilight is the title track from his debut EP and has been released on Christian Löffler’s Ki record label.

    Knowing that this is a debut release, makes it all the more special. This is a first step for Fejká, an exciting first step. Remember where you heard his name first.

    You can follow Fejká on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

    Tune of the Week // James Darkin – Chase

    James Darkin Tune of the week nessymon.com

    As I was putting this week’s episode of The London Ear together, I received an email from James Darkin with the video for this song. Immediately I emailed back asking for the track to play on the radio.

    Who is James Darkin?

    James is an extremely talented sound engineer and producer. He’s head guy in Temple Lane Studios in Dublin and has worked on sessions for the likes of Rihanna and Will.i.am and has worked on mixes for Hozier, The Original Rudeboys and Plutonic Dust (who I love).

    Why make Chase ‘Tune of the Week’?

    I love James’ production and I love the electronic industrial-ness of ‘Chase’. This is an instrumental track and you don’t miss vocals. The track builds and ebbs beautifully. I’ve been playing it constantly since I heard it. Being totally honest, this is the kind of music I’d like to make.

    Chase is the follow up to Needle Noise from earlier this year and is taken from ‘Go No Matter What’, James’ album due out on October 31st.

    Hat tip also to Conor Donoghue for the ever so cleverly trippy video.

    You can find James at his website or on Facebook and Twitter
