New Audio: ELEVIN Shares a Sleek, Melodic House Banger
ELEVIN is a mysterious, emerging electronic music producer, who specializes in creating musical experiences designed to make audiences feel — while reflecting “the geometry of existence.”
His latest single “Edge of Sight” continues a remarkable run of slickly produced club and festival friendly, melodic house bangers anchored around dense layers of glistening of relentless motorik pulse, skittering thump and a cinematic heft, But at it’s core is a song specifically created to get people to head to the dance floor.
New Audio: Christian Sean Shares Woozy “Saint Loreto”
Montréal-based pop artist Christian Sean is a firm believer in the transformative power of pop music. As a kid, he was drawn to indie rock and left-field electroinca, part of a local scene that disavowed commerciality in favor of innovation and creativity. But as he got older, he surrounded to his true calling — making what he believes is the best music of his life, anchored around a unique blend of melodic sensibility and avant-garde experimentation.
Sean’s debut, last year’s Hallelujah Showers was the culmination of years toiling on the local scene as a producer and multi-instrumentalist and was released to praise internationally from the likes of Ones To Watch, The FADER, Earmilk, and others. He capped off a busy 2025 by opening for French alt pop artist Zaho de Sagazan on their Canadian tour and making a run of the Québecois festival circuit with sets at POP Montréal and Santa Teresa Festival.
Building upon a growing profile, the rising Montréal-based pop latest single “Saint Loreto” is a slickly produced, hook-driven bop featuring lived-in songwriter Sean’s achingly tender falsetto and a glitchy, forward-thinking production that’s both club and radio friendly. But under the slickly produced surface is a song anchored around a familiar, woozy internal battle between self-doubt, indecision and longing.
New Audio: Super Plage Teams Up with Virginie B on Summery “POOL PARTY”
Jules Henry is a Montréal-based singer/songwriter, electronic music producer and creative mastermind behind the acclaimed, JOVM mainstay recording project and Super Plage. Founded back in 2019, Super Plage sees Henry crafting slickly produced, dance floor friendly electro pop that draws from house and nu-disco. He frequently collaborates with local French Canadian artists to create a playful, fun-loving and escapist universe, where it feels good to party.
Since 2019, Henry has released four albums, including 2023’s Magie á minuit, which received an ADISQ Félix Award-nomination for Electronic Album of the Year. Building upon a growing profile, Henry has made a run of both the provincial and international festival circuits, playing sets at Francos de Montréal, FME and Festival d’été de Québec, SXSW, Wide Days and others. He has opened for Miel de Montagne, Juilen Granel, Bon Entendeur, MYD and more.
Last year’s GROOSE MAISON featured a sleek and daring blend of house, disco and French touch anchored around catchy, downright funky grooves, much like on album single “Tip Top.”
The French Canadian JOVM mainstay’s latest single “POOL PARTY” continues his longtime collaboration with Virginie B. Sonically drawing from classic house music, “POOL PARTY” is a breezy and summery, dance floor friendly bop that showcases Henry’s unerring knack for sleek production and razor sharp, catchy hooks paired with a sultry, pop starlet performance from Virginie B. It’s a much-needed, early blast of summer.
