JES has become an internationally known for her emotionally-charged and often weighty lyrics, but she masters a dazzling new sound on her new track “The One” in collaboration with all-star producers JS16 and Joonas Hahmo releasing through Enhanced Music. The singer/songwriter swaps her pensive, passionate tones for a hopeful and whimsical vibe on “The One,” which is complemented by driving progressive beats and effervescent melodies courtesy of JS16 and Hahmo. “It’s always fun to break the mold of what people expect from you and surprise them with something totally different,” quotes JES about the new release. “A lot of my songs have a more serious emotional feel, but with this one I got to have some fun and break the rules!” As the uplifting aura of “The One” is contagious enough to be a new love anthem, we certainly won’t complain about JES breaking the rules more often.

“The One” features a trio of artists who are all renowned producers and musicians in their own right. Jaakko Salavaara, also known as JS16, is the mastermind behind iconic productions like the smash hit “Freestyler” and international club anthems “Sandstorm” and “Feel the Beat” nearly two decades ago. Joonas Hahmo seems to turn everything he touches to gold, from his multiple hits on the Anjuna labels–such as “Alt+F4” and “Cocktail Bar”–to releases on his own label Hahmo Recordings and beyond, the Finland native has consistently been one of the most talented trance and progressive house producers in the game. Last but certainly not least is JES, the multitalented singer, songwriter and performer that has left her mark on the hearts of millions with her moving and timeless songs. Her multiple Grammy nominations, sold out shows around the world, and success of her label Intonenation all serve as testaments to JES’s influence on the electronic music scene. Today, JES continues to invest in independent artists, releasing her own music and electronic music’s most promising talent on Intonenation. She has created a constancy of positivity and emotion into the electronic dance music genre. A student of yoga and meditation practices JES, knows that connection & consciousness brings people together, especially in the form of music.

Cosmic Gate & JES Release “Fall Into You” Music Video

There is always magic in the air when Germany’s most successful trance DJ Duo and producers Cosmic Gate get together in the studio with acclaimed singer and songwriter JES. Their dazzling singles “Flying Blind” (2012) and „Yai (Here We Go Again) (2015), racked up millions of Spotify streams and ”Flying Blind“ got also honored with an IDMA Best Trance Track nomination. With the hypnotic “Fall Into You”, their latest effort together, they’ve perfected the partnership. With 3.000.000 Million streams on Spotify it’s one of their most successful single releases of the latest album “Materia.“

Cooperation and interpretation are two of the things that the visionary producers in Cosmic Gate do best. Since their debut at the turn of the millennium, they’ve worked with many of the biggest names in trance and house music, including trance legends Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, and Ferry Corsten. They’ve also remixed Tiesto, Deadmau5 and James Horner’s „I See You“ the official theme of the highest-grossing movie of all time “Avatar“. Through it all, they’ve stayed true to their original vision, making smart, immersive, irresistibly propulsive trance — and consistently pushing the genre forward. They’ve been rewarded with a dedicated following and critical plaudits: they’ve made DJ Magazine’s Top DJs Ranking eleven times in the past fifteen years.

JES, too, is a fearless, respected and three times Grammy nominated dance music artist with a knack for unforgettable songs. The New York City vocalist is well known for her hits with Gabriel & Dresden as Motorcycle – especially the intoxicating “As The Rush Comes” (Billboard #1) and her solo single „Imagination“ (Billboard #1), a much-remixed smash that lit up the clubs in 2004. But JES has also worked with many other prominent producers, including Tiesto, BT, Armin Van Buuren & Above & Beyond. No matter where she’s applied it, her voice has always cast a powerful spell — it has taken listeners on an emotional journey as well as a musical one.

“Fall Into You,” for instance, is particularly nuanced. Its first verse swells, ebbs and crests: JES’s voice is so galvanizing that you might not notice the absence of the heavy beat. When the drums and lead synthesizers kick in after the first chorus, it’s like a bright moon breaking through a canopy of clouds. The photogenic JES is the star of the “Fall Into You” video, too – she somersaults through space in slow motion, attaining acrobatic poses as lightning flashes in the deep distance. It’s graceful, alluring, and mysterious – just like the song.

Pop Plans for JES to “Get Me Through the Night”

November 17, 2017

Grammy Nominated Singer Songwriter Releases Pop-Crossover OUT NOW

There are few dance music vocalists as prolific as JES, whose mesmerizing voice has redefined the electronic dance music landscape with instantly recognizable classics like Motorcycle’s “As the Rush Comes,” the Grammy Nominated “Hold On” and the critically acclaimed “Everything” with the legendary Tiesto.

Joining the company of artists like Ellie Goulding, Paloma Faith, Zara Larson; JES becomes the newest thought provoking songstresses to cross over with her new single “Get Me Through the Night,” a poignant and emotionally stirring stand out from her upcoming EP. The track opens with her signature melodic synth and is soon joined by a deep bassline that carries through its powerful chorus. JES’s lyrical consciousness is on display with “Get Me Through the Night”, a commentary on the yearning for human connection in the vast emptiness of today’s hearts. JES wrote “Get Me Through the Night” as a message of encouragement to her listeners.

“When the night brings out the sadness of a messed up love, that emptiness can be filled with the strength of pushing through the bad times,” says JES when asked about the lyrics. “I wanted to write something that put that idea of light and dark into the context of a relationship, because it all comes down to not giving up and having faith that you will pull through in the end.”

Her autobiographical, emotionally-charged lyrics carry appeal to all generations of music fans; it is simply impossible to listen to a JES songs without getting involved. Her audience has bought her to every continent in the world excluding Antarctica, (but it’s on her bucketlist). Performing in Kuala Lumpur for Mercedes Benz at the launch of their new worldwide “Urban Hunting” campaign to playing intimate shows, her second home is the stage. JES has proven herself every bit as capable of a producer and artist in her own right as she is a vocalist and live performer. JES launched her own label, Intonenation Records in 2015. It’s first single “Hold On” received a Grammy nomination the same year for Best Remixed Recording. JES continues to invest in independent artists, releasing her own music and electronic music’s most promising talent on Intonenation. She has created a constancy of positivity and emotion into the electronic dance music genre. A student of yoga and meditation practices JES knows that connection & consciousness brings people together, especially in the form of music.

JES’ new single with the Game Chasers “Carry Me Away” hits all digital portals today exclusively through Black Hole Recordings / Magik Muzik. The follow up to her massive collaboration “Fall Into You” with Cosmic Gate promises to deliver in a big way for both radio and club audiences with a package featuring a pop influenced original mix, a deep house mix and a Markus Schulz trance remix.

The original mix blends an immersive deep house groove with sublime vocals and a sultry saxophone hook for a radio friendly package. Letting the strength of the song lead, the original mix plays on the emotive aspects of JES’ vocals and a rich fusion of genres to bring some fresh energy to the radio format.

The Deeper Mood Mix is the Game Chasers own house rework which takes us straight to the terrace. Raising the intensity to a fever pitch and holding us there for the duration, the Game Chasers hit the day club bulls eye with a straight aiming mix that puts the mesmerizing vocal in the spotlight.

Rounding out the package is a truly uplifting trance remix from the unicorn slayer himself, Markus Schulz. On hearing the original mix Markus immediately requested the vocals to make his own mix. It seems his reaction was spot on with the resulting remix translating the song perfectly into the big room without surrendering any of it’s authenticity. 

In a world where everyone can seem overwhelmed, sometimes you need to find the time to kick back and relax, and say “Carry Me Away.”
