Red Gazelle Trio New Track Released – Stargazing

Red Gazelle Trio was founded in 2014 and their debut album Udkig was released in 2018. They played countless concerts in the Copenhagen area and are steady participants at the Vinter-jazz & CPH jazz festival. They released their music video Stay Crispy in 2020 with support from DPA (Danish Popular Auteurs Association).

On Red Gazelle Trio’s new album, the listener journeys through floating poetic jazz and enticing grooves. Binding the album together is an emphasis on captivating melodies which is always a point of departure for the music.

A stark contrast to this is the track Stargazing where a sweet melody evolves into a dancing African groove filled with hope. The music occasionally shifts from its laid-back and understated Nordic jazz roots to reveal a colliding temper.

The Copenhagen based trio by Kristoffer Vejslev (electric guitar), Peter Price (double bass) and Simon Forchhammer (drums) is one of the most promising upcoming bands on the Nordic contemporary jazz scene. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major influence on the trio and their music. “Stargazing” is composed during lockdown, and is a mellow track full of depth, a sweet melody, and soothing storytelling. Red Gazelle Trio is a strong trio with obvious qualities, and hope the music fits your music taste.

Honk Magazine Feedback: He provided needed files to do an analysis and his track “Stargazing” is melodious to dance. We will share it for others to make comments.

Red Gazelle Trio works best on Modern jazz Contemporary, & Creative.

Kay Onishi drops dark synth-trap banger on latest release “30 SECOND RULING”

Kay Onishi is aggressive and unapologetic on “30 SECOND RULING,” a song powered by dark synth-trap production, striking piano melodies, and heavy female rap delivery. The track is built on the idea of a turning point that can change everything, pouring confrontation, sarcasm, and urgency into a powerful musical statement.

What makes “30 SECOND RULING” compelling is how its musical elements support its attitude. The low-end heaviness gives it weight, the percussion keeps the rhythm crisp, and the piano offers a melodic thread that slices through the darkness. Together, they give Kay Onishi room to deliver a performance that is both controlled and explosive.

Kay Onishi’s “30 SECOND RULING” blends dark production, stark musical contrasts, and unapologetic expression. The song captures the frustration of being judged in the heat of the moment and turns that tension into a statement of defiance.
