Sometimes a single sound can inspire a whole song. Mother of all bombs started as a sound experiment. I was playing with Omnisphere, and found this epic guitar sound, which just screamed to get onto a song. The guitar sound, along with the gated pad sound, really started to inspire me, and soon I had … Read more
Step outside was one of the first songs to get written for Override. The lyric is about stepping outside of a stale relationship to taste a forbidden affair. But whenever I think about this song, I feel that it’s about actually getting out, breathing fresh air, getting inspired by your surroundings. I have specific forests, … Read more
I was browsing Spotify’s global top hits and came across The Weeknd’s song Blinding Lights, which led me on a little YouTube journey. I checked out the Blinding Lights music video, and as great as it was, I got even more interested, when I found out that it was actually a part of a music … Read more
Yes, this track may be More of Just the Same, but who else could write a track like this? Infected Mushroom is a very unique band. Personally, I think I am the embodiment of the ideology of creating more of just the same. I like to just keep going, learning on the way, maybe improving … Read more
Nerve cells is the second single from Unzyme’s upcoming album. Some of our songs have science fiction themes. This is one of two scifi songs on the fourth Unzyme album. As a long-time fan of science fiction movies and games, I always find it fascinating to write about possible futures. Songs like Extinction, Wargame and … Read more
One of our long-time fans told us to never change the logo, because it’s tattooed in her hand. I never really wanted to change the logo – I admire the bands that have held on to their logo, no matter how unfashionable it may have become in the current aesthetic landscape. My favorite Swedish band, … Read more
Unzyme’s live keyboardist, Mary Violet has left the band. There was no drama or hard feelings – we have parted ways in good terms. Mary decided to go all in on her dream of becoming a music therapist, and that meant that she had to leave a lot of things behind. Mary has been overly … Read more
I don’t listen to a lot of house music, but I do recognize a quality house track when I hear one. Emre Arisev & Dogu Dylan sent me this track, and I gotta say that I wasn’t expecting to get this excited. Alive is based on the Bee Gees‘ hit Stayin’ Alive, but only fractions … Read more
Sometimes, when I’m looking for suitable Spotify playlists to send Unzyme’s music to, I come across some really cool new songs. TW3LV & Huntar surprised me with their lovely song, Tonight. The vibe of this song is super cool and soulful. The vocals sound very soothing and the production suits the song very well. Timeless … Read more
I sometimes listen to my Spotify Release Radar without looking at what’s on this week’s playlist. When this track kicked in, it was clear that this was a Röyksopp song. The crunchy synth sounds, the relentless arpeggios, the grooves that make it impossible to stay still, the feeling of flying – it’s all there. I … Read more
Alan Walker’s songs are laser-focused on young people who feel alienated. They see the world from their personal digital perspective that algorithms designed for them, and since their bubble is unique, they wonder why nobody understands them. Are You Lonely, Alone, Ghost, Faded and Lost Control talk about the feeling of being an outsider, and … Read more
I was sending Unzyme’s new song Nerve cells to music curators via Submithub, when I stumbled upon this wonderful, uplifting pop song by Maty Noyes. It’s now wonder why many music curators have chosen to feature this song in their blogs and playlists – this song is very special. It is much harder to write … Read more
I was listening to the fantastic Active Anthems electronic music playlist, and amidst all fun-but-not-epic tracks, I was stopped on my tracks by Slander’s awesome piece of art, called Love Is Gone. Having explored new music for a couple of days, this was a breath of fresh air. The arrangement is very surprising. I like … Read more
Unzyme will release the music video for a new song called “Nerve cells” on April 3, 2020. The video was shot at a particle accelerator laboratory at The University of Jyväskylä.
Unzyme’s fourth album is about 70% done. It will be released in the fall of 2020. No specific release date has been set yet. We’re really excited about this release, because it’s going to be a very versatile album. These are all relatively new songs, all composed after the release of Transplant. On Transplant, there … Read more
Limitless kicks off with a familiar “whoaaah”, as heard extensively on Burning Bridges. There’s a bit of “We Don’t Run”, “Undivided” and “We Weren’t Born to Follow” in this song. And a whole lot of the style that was prominent on This House Is Not For Sale. There’s nothing too surprising about Limitless, and if … Read more
According to my last year’s Spotify statistics, my music listening hours were down about 17%. At the same time, I had started listening to a lot of podcasts, mainly on YouTube. Not watching, just listening. I spent as much time with my headphones as before, so it’s clear that the time that I spent listening … Read more
I’ve been following Porter Robinson ever since Spotify’s brain-picking algorithms introduced him to my consciousness, back in 2015. I really enjoyed his debut album Worlds, and his work as Virtual Self. Porter’s music is very unique and recognizable. It’s artistic and it sometimes borders on cute, which is not too common in today’s poposphere. The … Read more
When the lead single Father of All… was released, I wasn’t too excited about it, mainly because of the vocal effects. However, the song has grown on me, and now I seem to enjoy it. “Fire, Ready, Aim” is a dirty pop punk track with silly piano and organ stuff in the background. There is … Read more
Genesis Pro has made a lot of headlines lately, mainly due to its incredibly low 1€ price tag. It sure is more like a symbolic price, but if it sounds anything as awesome as in the preview video, OzSoft is set to make some serious money. On the video, Ummet plays a bunch of the … Read more
Pet Shop Boys is my most listened-to band according to Spotify’s statistics. I’ve been a Spotify user for 11 years, and for all that time Spotify has collected data on the music I’ve listened to the most. When Spotify’s decade report appeared a few months ago, Pet Shop Boys took the first spot. So, I … Read more
