Tiesto Teams With Jaz Dhami For ‘Bomb Bae’

Language and cultural borders in pop and electronic music continue to blur with a remix of UK-based singer Jaz Dhami’s track ‘Bomb Bae’ by world-renowned DJ and producer, Tiësto.

Already a dance floor anthem in the Punjabi Pop scene, ‘Bomb Bae’, released in September 2019, is now accessible to global dance music fans. The remix is supported by Artist Originals (AO), JioSaavn’s in-house label for global South Asian artists.

Tiësto is known for his creative collaborations and remixes, including a Grammy-winning remix of John Legend’s ‘All of Me’. Although Tiësto has toured in India three times, this is his first remix of an Indian-language song.

“The thing I love about music is that it is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries. This is my first time remixing an Indian song, but not my last! The energy of music and dancing is all about feeling, not a language… and this song has a great vibe and feel to it!” Tiësto commented.

A lyrical celebration of the varied shades of love, Dhami’s ‘Bomb Bae’ captures the essence of loving and romancing in the city of Mumbai (affectionately still called Bombay). Through its fusion of Punjabi-English lyrics and R&B beats, the original track captures the ups and downs of love in the sprawling, chaotic metropolis that is Mumbai.

The emotional rollercoaster of Mumbai is not unlike the build-ups and drops of an electronic music track. Tiësto’s treatment of ‘Bomb Bae’ weaves Dhami’s lyrics into kicks, drops and 132 bpm to create a big room electronic sound that is massively popular from L.A. to Bombay.

Speaking on the collaboration, Jaz Dhami said, “When I made ‘Bomb Bae’ I knew it was special from hearing back the first melodies that Eren, Alan and I put down. Having Tiësto on board for the remix is definitely a treat for the EDM fans and more importantly the scene. Panjabi music has a global appeal. It’s good to see DJs like Tiësto co-signing our movement.”

The remix of ‘Bomb Bae’ represents another step into the global spotlight for Jaz Dhami, who has established himself as a global artist with a true desi soul. He was the first South Asian artist to collaborate on the official BBC Music Launch Song, which featured 27 international artists including prominent names such as Pharrell Williams, Stevie Wonder, One Direction, Elton John and Sam Smith.

The ‘Bomb Bae’ [Tiësto Remix] is the latest in a series of unique global collaborations facilitated by JioSaavn’s AO. Artist Originals has been delivering ground-breaking collaborations with artists like Marshmello for the track ‘BIBA’; Indian hip-hop stars Divine and Naezy’s ‘NY Se Mumbai’ with Nas; as well as a viral EDM remix of ‘Bom Diggy’ by Dillon Francis.

Tiësto is a GRAMMY® Award-winning, platinum-certified, international icon. The DJ and producer is the only artist to ever hold the titles of “The Greatest DJ of All Time” courtesy of Mixmag, “#1 DJ” according to Rolling Stone, and “The Godfather of EDM” as proclaimed by Billboard. From his high-profile residency at Hakkasan to his crossover success, Tiësto created the blueprint that defines what it means to be a success in today’s dance music world.

Rational Youth Release ‘Cold War Night Life’ LP

New wave pioneers Rational Youth are releasing a deluxe expanded and remastered edition of their seminal 1982 debut album ‘Cold War Night Life’ on both CD and double gatefold vinyl.

This extended version is now available as a double LP on translucent vinyl and is also streamable on Spotify and other digital platforms. Now it is being made available on CD. This expanded reissue features extensive liner notes, testimonials, and rare photos from the band’s personal archives. It also includes both the original 1982 album tracks and all of the related original extended remixes and singles.

When ‘Cold War Night Life’ was originally released in 1982, it was one of the first all-synth pop albums released in Canada. It became one of the biggest-selling Canadian independent albums at the time. The album was also distributed overseas, even making the Top Ten on Polish State Radio, despite the fact that Poland was still behind the Iron Curtain. It charted on college radio across Canada and made inroads into commercial radio, particularly in Quebec, where the French version of ‘City of Night’ (‘Cité Phosphore’) went Top Ten.

Later, when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, the track ‘Dancing on the Berlin Wall’ was re-released as a single across Europe, spreading like wildfire.

The cult following for ‘Cold War Night Life’ has remained steady over the years, with many contemporary synth bands citing it as a seminal influence, including hugely popular artists like Italy’s Frozen Autumn, Sweden’s Covenant, Germany’s Psyche and Australia’s Parallox.

“The most remarkable thing about making this album, from an historical perspective, was the fact that we were making an all-synthesizer pop album, and in Montreal in 1981-82 that was pretty new,” says Tracy Howe.

“A lot of our arrangements and all the synth sounds were worked out at home and sequenced, so when we got to the studio we would set all the synths up and patch everything, tell the engineer to put machine in record and roll the tape, we’d start the MC-4 MicroComposer and half a song would instantly go to tape. The rock and roll engineers we had were kind of stunned by this, and by the fact that we were using a drum machine (a Roland TR-808, one of the first on Canadian shores).”

Rational Youth was formed in 1981 in Montreal, Quebec by Tracy Howe and Bill Vorn, both of whom idolized Kraftwerk. Considered one of Canada’s first synthpop groups, their second gig saw them opening for Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. After releasing their first single ‘I Want To See The Light’ in 1981 for YUL Records, an independent label established by Marc de Mouy and Pat Deserio, Howe and Vorn were joined by Kevin Komoda.

Following Vorn’s departure in 1983, the group – now consisting of Howe (vocals, keyboards, guitars), Komoda (keyboards), Denis Duran (bass) and Angel Calvo (drums) — was signed to Capitol Records and released their eponymous EP that year. This was followed by the 1985 release of the ‘Heredity’ LP, produced by Howe and Dee Long, with three charting singles. Howe released it as the sole remaining member.

After retiring the project in 1986, continued interest led to a 1997 CD reissue of ‘Cold War Night Life’ and a reunion concert for Howe and Vorn in Sweden. In 1999, Rational Youth, with Howe joined by keyboardists Jean-Claude Cutz and Dave Rout, released ‘To the Goddess Electricity’, the first LP in 14 years, on Sweden’s October label. The trio toured Scandinavia until playing their final concert at the 2001 Tinitus Festival in Stockholm.

Tracy Howe and Bill Vorn united again in 2009 at the initiative of Marc Demouy, recording a new version of their 1982 track ‘Dancing On The Berlin Wall’ in honour of the twentieth anniversary of the wall’s dismantling. In 2010, it was issued as an EP by YUL Records on CD, followed by 2011’s ‘City Of Night /Cite Phosphore’ EP on CD, consisting of re-recordings of this early single plus remixed versions of the original recording.

In 2016, Rational Youth (now consisting of Tracy and Gaenor Howe), released the ‘Future Past Tense’ EP through Artoffact Records. That year, they appeared on the ‘Heresy’ compilation, released by the Cold War Night Life label. A play on the title ‘Heredity’, this album also featured covers of Rational Youth tracks by 18 artists from various countries, including former bandmates Dave Rout and Kevin Komoda.

The new edition of ‘Cold War Night Life’ is available on CD and digitally via Bandcamp. Vinyl can be ordered separately via Music Vaultz.

Rational Youth have two upcoming shows with China Crisis – on Jan. 25 at Toronto’s Revival Bar and Jan. 26 at Mississauga’s Classic Bowl. Fans can look forward to further European dates in early 2020.

Rockstars Get an Afterlife in the Gaming Genre

Gaming and music might have a symbiotic relationship, but it goes much further than just providing the soundtrack to some shoot ‘em up. The value of the rockstar has exploded in all areas of gaming from casinos to mobile and the big open-world adventures popular on Xbox and Playstation. Could this explain the enduring allure of the aging rockstar?

The casino scene is prolonging the touring potential of old-time rockers

Take KC & the Sunshine Band. Half of the 23 dates on their latest concert tour were at casinos. Casino venues are ideal tour stops according to lead singer Harry Wayne Casey, as most have a multitude of hotel rooms, restaurants, luxury facilities and of course the gaming tables themselves. “I try not to play for free,” he says.

In fact, regional casinos’ growth across the US has seen a number of states open Las Vegas-style resorts with the ability to hold concert performances. And this increased opportunity for musicians has given fans another chance to see their favorite stars of yesterday still performing like they were back then.

In recent years, the Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Kiss, Guns n Roses and even guitar legend Santana have all had residencies in Las Vegas-style casino resorts big and small across the US, not only prolonging their music legacy but thoroughly entertaining sell-out crowds.

The video slots phenomena

This gaming and rock connection goes one step further. There are a number of online gaming titles that use the enduring image and swagger of the rockstar to promote games. One quick look on the mobile slots at Lucky Pants Bingo and you can still find Ozzy Osbourne rocking the reels on the Ozzy Osbourne Video Slots where players get to grab their air guitars and rock out with the Prince of Darkness.

Then there is the Guns N’ Roses Video Slots with its epic soundtrack including Appetite for Destruction and Welcome to the Jungle. And of course the legendary Jimi Hendrix Online Slots will absolutely have you slamming the keyboard like it was 1975.

Gaming titles utilize the power of 80s and 90s rock legends

And it’s not just video slots that have kept rockers rocking either. Gaming fans will also have no doubt enjoyed the soundtrack of the Grand Theft Auto V and the Los Santos Rock Radio show hosted by Kenny Loggins featuring rock anthems from the likes of Queen, Steve Winwood, Def Leppard, Robert Plant, Stevie Nicks, Foreigner, The Cult, and the king of soft rock, Kenny himself.

One of the biggest console games ever to come out has to be Guitar Hero, which released three iterations of the game and couldn’t have existed without the music provided by some of the greatest rock stars ever.

Video games have always managed to utilize that heavy metal relationship within games. All the way back to Quake in the 1990s then featuring the powerful sound of Nine Inch Nails all the way to the 2016 reboot of Doom, Gods of War, Twisted Metal and Metal Gear Solid all trading off this unique guitar and metal-heavy theme that put gamers firmly in the hot seat.

There is certainly a strong argument for gaming, mobile-oriented slots and casino venues in keeping alive the aura of the rock star, aging or otherwise and it has, for many of them, meant an afterlife of performing that might otherwise not have been nearly so lucrative or readily available to them.

VR is Here and The Music Industry Can’t Wait

Technology is moving at a rapid pace. Augmented reality and virtual reality are on the rise, and the applications of these advances are only just becoming apparent. Already both of these new developments have found their way into the gaming industry, with AR being incorporated into popular apps and games like Pokemon Go and into online live dealer casino games. However, other industries are poised ready to seize the potential, with the music industry at the forefront of change.

Marshmello’s Fortnite concert was a ground-break precedent in both the gaming and music industries, showing how they can converge to promote artists’ careers in new and exciting ways. More than ten million people attended Marshmello’s concert in real-time, making it one of history’s most far-reaching virtual musical events. This is just one of the ways in which these two sectors are beginning to work more closely together to bring music within easier reach of more people, and to make it a more immersive and engaging experience for listeners.

The VR Music Video

Virtual reality is beginning to become a go-to medium through which artists can connect with their fans. Facebook and YouTube have both launched 360-degree video posting platforms which have led to more people creating immersive video content. Musicians have been leading the way in this, transporting their viewers into more interactive experiences.

Virtual reality is making it possible to physically enter one of your favorite music videos. The Amplify VR platform is just one example that allows audiences to watch a music video of their choice in a reactive and immersive VR environment, giving users the opportunity to actually interact with content by applying different audio effects, remixing their experience and manipulating environments via movement. 

This use of technology enables fans to enjoy their favorite music and artists in entirely immersive and new ways. Even 2D video content can be turned into a three-dimensional experience, meaning artists no longer need to create new content solely for virtual reality, significantly reducing their costs.

Allowing Remote Viewing

No matter how much you love a band or artist, you can’t always make it to their concert. Now, you can enjoy the experience of actually being there at the venue with VR concerts. Fans can experience the action from close up, actually being able to move about the event and experience it from different vantage points – even from the stage. Coachella has already harnessed the potential of VR remote viewing. At their 2016 event, they allowed festival-goers to watch videos of the performing artists and discover the festival grounds all in three hundred and sixty degrees through a headset.

The Possibilities Of Change In Music Education

Of course, the music industry isn’t all about performance – it’s about teaching a new generation of players too. Virtual reality is set to change how we practice and learn musical instruments and how we use them to entertain ourselves. There are numerous apps already in development that will make musical learning a more exciting and shareable experience. Teach-U:VR is one solution that gives individuals a more immersive and engaging way of playing drums and piano in virtual reality. Users are able to use a headset to play virtual instruments and to interact with other people in a shared virtual space. This opens up the possibility for music education even to those who are unable to afford lessons or who are unable to attend.

Apps like this will redefine the ways in which we understand how music is created. Music lovers and music creators alike will find new ways of expressing themselves and experimenting with sound that has never been seen before. Not only will they be able to enhance their existing musical abilities, but they will also be able to learn more about how music is developed in an interactive and engaging manner.

While virtual reality remains in its infancy at the moment, there have already been significant changes in the way it allows us to interact with the creation of music and how we listen to it. It is already allowing us to see, hear and experience music in a brand new, nontraditional way. Virtual reality is set to create more personal, more impressive and more thrilling musical experiences and with new digital technology advances lying ahead, we can only begin to imagine what music’s future will hold as VR grows and develops.

Whatever changes are set to take place in the music industry, you can rest assured that virtual reality will almost certainly be a part of them.

Canada’s Youngest Reggae JUNO Award Nominee Chelsea Stewart Releases NEW Self-Titled LP and “Forever Your Girl” Video

Canadian reggae-jazz dynamo Chelsea Stewart is back, once again bringing her name to the forefront with a newly released self-titled album, Chelsea Stewart — and premiere single “Forever Your Girl” — available now!

A reflection of Stewart’s rich Jamaican Canadian roots, Chelsea Stewart was mostly recorded in Jamaica, and features production influence from the likes of long-iconic and GRAMMY Award winning and multi-nominee artists, Sly and Robbie, and songwriting influence from Canadian Renee Brown.

“I have probably been listening to music from Sly and Robbie since the day I arrived on this Earth,” she says of the legendary reggae masters Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. “They have been responsible for so many hits that still play on the radio, and at almost every celebratory gathering in my community.

“It was surreal to be able to work with these living legends.”

Stewart was especially grateful for Sly’s daily guidance and the opportunity to observe his deep dedication to the craft. “I hope to be like him one day, and be able to go to the studio daily to create new content, tour seasonally, and collect royalties in my sleep!” she laughs. “As a young artist, watching that was incredibly motivating.”

“And Renee was able to travel to Jamaica and witness the growth of the production with my mom and I,” Stewart continues. “She helped with the songwriting and production for a few songs, and I was happy to share that surreal experience with her.

“I usually co-write with my mom, but working with Renee has been the first time I collaborated with another songwriter, and I’m very proud of the results. She, like myself, is Jamaican Canadian, and it was important for me to include Canadian content on the project so that the album truly reflects who I am.”

Much like previous releases before it, Stewart synced up with her longest-time collaborator, her mom, Karen Stewart. “Working with my mom to make this album was nothing new,” she says of the long-lauded and unique familial collaboration. “We’ve done this before on several singles and EPs. We know how to navigate disagreements on how to go about producing the project, and we enjoy singing along and dancing to the finished products in the studio, just as we’ve done at home — with the recordings of our favourite artists — for years.

“We’re happy to make our contribution to the music industry through Baby Momma Music!

“The only part of the whole album that was unexpected was the song, ‘Crush.’ I recorded it in Jamaica but had to re-record it in Canada because it wasn’t exactly how I wanted it…

“I naturally gravitate to ‘old school’ music, so I was aware my album would reflect that. In doing so, however, I had no idea I’d end up recording an album that covered almost every genre ever created in Jamaica — ska, rocksteady, reggae, dancehall, dub poetry, nyabinghi drumming — except mento, which is the first style of music to ever be recorded in Jamaica.

“When I listened to the recording, I felt it could be instantly revitalized if I were to rearrange it into a mento song, which would also mean the album would result in successfully covering seven genres of music that have come out of Jamaica.

“This is not what I originally set out to do, but it’s what happened, and I’m very excited about it.”

The full-length LP lands as a welcomed follow-up to her chart-topping and critically acclaimed JUNO Award-nominated previous EP release, Genesis, and on the heels of Stewart winning ReggaeXclusive Magazine’s Song of the Year, a Trailblazer Award, an Entertainment Award for the International Woman Achievers’ Award, and a Caribbean Entertainment and Music Award. She was also the first Canadian female to perform at Rototom Sunsplash, the biggest reggae festival in Europe, in their 22 year history.

Most notably, Stewart made waves on the Canadian music scene being the youngest ever nominee for that JUNO Award, in the Reggae category, a status that rippled forward to the production experience of this new album. “Although the musicians could’ve been condescending because I was both so much younger than them, and female — both of which they’re probably not used to taking direction from — that was not the case,” she recalls of the recording process. “The environment was very welcoming and encouraging, even though I was the rookie in the room. They welcomed my ideas and contributions, and always respected my desires.”

Though she’s released several EPs and singles before, this eponymous LP was Stewart’s first time recording the songs all at once, and within such a large collaborative scope. “The last time I recorded multiple songs all at once, for The Only One EP, my only accompaniment was from my acoustic guitarist. This time, I had to record a rough demo live in the studio, and the musicians would add to it, one by one, track by track.

“It made it so that I was able to be a part of the organic growth of the production, and it was a beautiful process that I can’t wait to do again.”

Chelsea Stewart is available now.
