JES, who has been the name to know for fans of authentic dance music delivers one more reason to keep saying her name. From the first note, the nocturnal theme of “We Belong To The Night” (via esteemed Dutch label Magik Muzik) is unmistakable. JES’ unique tone and delivery dominates the story and leads like a light in the dark from beginning to end. The sound is both deeply electronic and undeniably organic, deconstructing formulas and framing JES’ unique ear for melody against a backdrop of doubtless blissed-out acceptance.
Speaking of the song JES says “Belong has been a part of a deep transitional period for me. Music has always been my heart, so it’s only natural that my re-invention starts there. I sometimes find myself pushing, struggling to make my world be the way I want it to be. This song is all about the surrender and security of finding that safe zone where you can stop for a moment and drift your surroundings. I wanted to share it at the end of the summer, as one thing comes to end there’s a chance for a new beginning, a new me, a new us.”

“We Belong To The Night” is many things at the same time. Smooth and gritty, sweet and salty, even subtle and harsh. So hit the reset button with JES, and let this wall of auditory emotion take you back to where you belong.

JES Releases The Will Atkinson Remix Of #1 Hit “Imagination”

February 22, 2019

Imagination, JES, Memento, Will Atkinson Remix

Seeing the light in 2008, ‘Imagination’ was amongst the first post-‘Rush Comes’ solo material from the now universally renowned artist, JES. Originally remixed for club-floors by Tiësto, Kaskade and others, the track spearheaded a monster solo breakout for the American singer, swiftly hitting the #1 spot on Billboard’s Dance Airplay chart.

“Imagination” is the first single to arrive from JES’s forthcoming part-retro/part-‘future-spective’ album “Memento”, and has landed in the remix hands of Will Atkinson. Now if you think Will’s about to be daunted by its glittery, garlanded really-rather-accomplished past… think again. In fact screw it, we’re going to say it – Atkinson’s arrived with a remix of such vision, scope & eminence, the only thing he has to worry about is ever bettering it!

Letting JES’s ‘Imagination’ run away with him, over nine minutes Will’s rework takes it to any number of new dimensions. Tapping into its emotional core from the outset, his production makes a lightning quick connection with her song. Rolling JES’s opening refrains over crisp breaks and then capitalizing with 4/4 beats, he brings in a beast of a b-line and an irresistible riptide of surging sub-riffs. Will then deftly clicks it over into a thumping progressive tract, allowing – through pathos-soaked pads, synths and endless FX detail, that emotion to swell. Finally – right when you think it’s topped out and hasn’t anymore road to run, he stunningly upscales again. With a break picked out by authentic guitars strains and heart-seeking chime, Will finally eclipses all with the kind of mainline uplift your night simply won’t recover from.

When charged with remixing a song that boasts this much history and mystique you’ll naturally be expected to bring your “A”game. This time Will Atkinson has gone one better. Check it out here https://magikmuzik.choons.at/imaginationremix

Proving again why she’s one of the most demanded voices on the planet, JES lends heartrending depth with a haunting vocal that perfectly wraps itself around the meaning of the song.

This unique spin on the Passenger’s original brings the song to an entirely new place and will no doubt introduce JES’ to a whole new audience. So start 2019 with an open heart and if you have to, “Let Him Go.”

Markus Schulz & JES “Calling For Love” Out Now!

Calling For Love, JES, Markus Schulz, music video, new release, release, single release, track

Markus x JES is the equation, and if you’re wondering how that’s never have happened before, well the
queue forms to the left! Analysis is now academic as two of trance’s greats bridge the studio/song gap with the
soul-stirringly moving ‘Calling For Love’.

In its all-day-play radio version, first contact with ‘Calling’ came through April’s interlinked ‘In Bloom EP’ and
GDJB show. For it’s standalone release, Markus has club-equipped the Extended Mix with all the necessaries to
see it reign equally at night. Tapping the tempo gas, ‘Calling’s production’s been galvanised by hardier drums,
hastening snares, percussive march and – in its latter stages – synth-radiance. By turns strong, optimistic, defiant, wrought and lamenting, JES’ song is a swirl of contending emotions, lyrically & vocally encapsulating her theme.

‘Calling For Love’s official video will shortly join fellow ‘In Bloom’ single ‘Safe From Harm’s (which passed the 1
million YouTube views marker last week) online. Meantime, you can stream/purchase the Extended Mix of
‘Calling For Love’ here: http://markusschulz.choons.at/callingforlove

Roger Shah & JES “Star-crossed” – Out now Exclusively On All Digital Portals!

May 9, 2018

JES, out now, release, Roger Shah, Star-crossed, track

Beating the drum for the advance his new artist album, Roger Shah gives audiences a singles-taste of what’s album-in-store come May. ‘Star-crossed’ reteams him with the expressive voice and every bit as illustrative songwriting of JES.

Optimistic lift cautioned by emotional lament, ‘Star-crossed’ sees the awarding winning JES portray a love confronting some real world realities. Lyrical poignancies and vocal nuance cross on a tale as lyrically affecting as it is vocally touching.

Ranged across a rich span of mixes, each of Roger’s five versions has a different time of day or night play in mind. Through its Original, Extended and Coconuts & Pineapples interpretations, Roger’s music sets its story to ever-increasing degrees of shift and samba-ish sway. Adding to its strikingly bittersweet nature, beach-oriented tempos and trop-house styles/rhythms are spun elegantly into its production.

Passaging the track to the dancefloor, Roger skilfully translates these sonic ethics into its purpose-filled Club Mix. The package’s arc reaches its natural conclusion with ‘Star-crossed’s Extended Uplifting Mix, which delivers an irresistibly aerodynamic peak-of-the-night option.
