Zipten is becoming one of my favourite electronic producers. I have been following his journey throughout 2020, and as the year comes to an end, I have to say, Zipten has evolved and grown massively. His talent keeps on giving and his new release ‘Midnight Walk’ is an early Christmas gift.
Kicking off, Zipten takes us to another world with a beat tap which stays away from the norm and a lead hook which meets a funky summer guitar rhythm. The rest is history from this point, and Zipten unleashes the goods like never before.
You can take a listen to ‘Midnight Walk’ by Zipten below.

Kendow is flying high with his new release ‘We Will Survive The Coronavirus’ which provides optimism at a time of uncertainty.
The track speaks for the generation with us all being able to relate with the lyricism (unless you have been living under a rock, which may be a better alternative to the current times). For me, I enjoy how Kendow gets straight to the point, and by bringing in vocal support from Vanessa Bartley, they hit the nail on the head.
Vanessa shines with delight, and her vocal quality is impressive. She sings with her all, and I can almost feel her passion with her every word articulating well. Also, musically, this new track is exciting with a feel-good rhythm pushing the track forward.
