From a very unique place, Gÿe releases their third single “MUV”, an electronic pop song that embraces house, ballroom, experimental, tribal, and classical sounds. Sound design is the main ingredient that takes us on a colorful journey full of landscapes, textures, and effects produced by Gÿe in a creative and accurate way. In collaboration with engineer Liz Teutsch and Jazztone Studios (Valencia), Gÿe came up with a high-professional team to create an audiovisual workshop about home recording for Ableton. They used this to record and sample many different sounds: buckets, superball on a tom-tom, drum set, piano, and re-synths amongst others. This was all recorded with different mics and an iPhone, so the processing stage of the production got very complex. MUV confronts sonic complexity vs groove simplicity and emotional storytelling vs a basic structure. Gÿe’s voice turns into pads, grooves, chants, and backup singing as small pieces of their identity that give shelter to the lead vocal. The intro is full of sonic drawings which take us to a bucolic song with a very thick kick. Then, a musical coda surprises us with a voguing chant about precariousness to finish with an out-of-context outro.
“MUV is an emotional portrait of the relationship between movement and identity. Intimacy, nostalgia, passion, ritual, and journey are a few of the elements to which this relationship contributes. From the moment I wake up and get myself ready for the dance training, my way to the metro, the sounds and people around, and the environment of the space I’m in. The energy of my sisters training, and the sweat reminds you are alive and breathing. Is the present moment that movement is based on. Languages like contemporary dance, tribal dance, and voguing have been very impactful on the way I express myself, and the way I freestyle. There are many meaningful, huge, and tiny things to say in many infinite ways. MUV is finding yourself in the mirror and embracing what you see. MUV is my inner child taking me to the best version of me that I want for myself.”

DEBUT SINGLE OUT NOW

Loudeast Records label boss discovered a new talent while teaching his DJ classes at Berklee College of Music, the one and only Gÿe who delivered a demo version of “4AM” as part of his own Masters Culminating Experience. Nacho fell in love with the track so badly that he offered his student the opportunity to remix and release it. “4AM” is a dancefloor monster with 909 beats, dreamy pads, dynamic stabs, and a powerful vocal line sung by the artist himself.
The artist in his own words:
“4AM takes Hathor’s myth in order to portray today’s young generations. This song makes a statement and celebrates the power of diversity in all its expressions. There is no more powerful sound than house music to make this celebration happen, as a shaman reuniting all the people of a tribe. I wanted my very first release to be a tribute to worldwide tribal beauty. I love how many diverse elements can build cultural identity, especially in tribal societies. These elements go beyond the occidental misconception of “fashion”, or “looking good”. A movement or jewel, piece of clothes, or perfumes are identitary, and they contribute to our individual self-conception too. ”
