Music News - MayaVanya release Diving Board feat. Chelsea Jade
25 August 2015 - 0 Comments
Exhibit A: thrilling new single Diving Board(Feat. Chelsea Jade) premiered overnight via HillyDilly, a sublime slice of
minimal 2015 electronica – difficult to categorise but very easy to love.
Haunting vocals from feature artist Chelsea Jade (formerly Watercolours) float
over pulsating drums and muted synths, creating an atmospheric, inviting
slow-burner asking the listener: “are you in or are you out?”
Taking influence from their eclectic upbringing (spent between Europe and New Zealand) where their parents exposed them to the likes of Talking Heads, Afrika Bambaataa, Gloria Gaynor and Gipsy Kings, the now Melbourne-based MayaVanya come equipped with an extensive musical arsenal. In more recent years, they have both been drawn to varieties of global electronic music – house, techno and UK garage to rap and R&B.
As MayaVanya, the pair soak up all of these influences and produce cohesive, forward-thinking music. With one eye on the dancefloor, the aesthetic is still distinctively moody, restrained and seductive - perhaps not surprising for a duo that cites artists such as Moodymann, The Weekend, Jamie xx, Nicolas Jaar and PartyNextDoor as current inspirations.
