Louis Ross - Single Review: Here To Help
Local Tauranga DJ and
Producer Louis Ross has
created a new song Here to
Help to bring awareness to
mental health issues ahead of
Mental Health Awareness
Week.
After losing his father and
Grandma within a few
months of each other and
navigating his way through
loss and grief, Louis is
combining his own mental
health struggles with his love
of music to help others. Louis started writing Here to Help, to let people know that they aren’t alone, that there is help out there, and that they have people they can turn to whenever they need it.
The beat really moves you and brings your mood up. There are some synths covered in reverb in the back which almost give a nod to the sound from early Shapeshifter tracks. Louis is a 25-year-old DJ and producer at the time of this writing and with the sound, feel and overall quality of the track, there is a lot to enjoy. For one, it sounds fantastic. The grooving bass line, the drum feel, synths and saxophone work well together in creating a sense of moving up and on from whatever is happening in your life at the time. And the vocal production is clear, in all cases of rap and singing. The track Here to Help features rappers Sunshine Ted and Zap, along with singer Lisa Westerby and Matt Bizzle provides some beautiful saxophone playing that weaves through the rap in the verses. It does feel at times that the saxophone feels busy in the verses where my focus should be squarely on the lyrics and vocals, but overall there is still dynamics there to give changes to the verse and the chorus. As the song uses the same set of chords throughout, having these sections stand out by leaving instruments out of them allows for the chorus to open up more. This definitely happens in the second verse.
Overall, Louis knows what he is doing and has a great team behind him here with a strong song and a powerful message.

Dilz - Single/Video Review: I've Been 2
05 Dec 2022 // by Ben Ruegg
Dilz' new track I've Been 2 hits hard. With a huge bass sound that doesn't overwhelm as much as it just makes you aware of its power, paired with the chimes as a hook and a powerful trap beat, I would say that this Dilz track is a statement about where he has come from and where he is now.
