Leah Culver electrifies the Imagine Music Festival Mainstage

/

One of the best, most dynamic sets at Imagine Music Festival was undeniably, Leah Culver's. She gave fans a show! Leah stepped away from the dj table to sing and dance - a true and talented performer on the rise. Leah sat with me to talk about her career and other fun "stuff." She just released a new single, the smash hit anthem, Slow Motion. [We] have video footage of Leah performing this live in the interview clip. And you can listen to it below.

Following the success of her “Where Are U Now” by JACK U and “Taken Back” by Twofold remixes, Leah Culver is back with a new, original release - “Slow Motion” - just in time for the autumn season.

“This song is about the hopeless romantic inside all of us - in slow motion. I wanted to write about what it feels like to be in a relationship that takes us and traps us in time. We all know what it’s like to be with someone we know we have to let go. This song is about those stories, and how it affects us as people.” - Leah Culver on her inspiration behind “Slow Motion”

Rain Man strikes again as he unveils the haunting future trap ballad "Habit." Chopping the vocals of Krysta Youngs to deadly effect, the Chicago native delivers yet another jaw-dropping crossover tune, recently premiered on YourEDM.
 
“Habit” is the latest vocal-driven crossover hit for the versatile Chicago native. During his time as a member of international sensation Krewella, Rain Man produced the group’s first Top 40 hit “Alive,” which peaked at #9 on Billboard’s Pop Songs Chart and propelled their debut studio album Get Wet directly to #1 on the Dance/Electronic Albums Chart. His 2016 single “Bring Back the Summer (feat. Oly)” was praised by PopMatters as “a massive earworm full of deep grooves, endless hooks, and the sheen of a dance hit in the making,” and audiences agreed. Upon its March release, the single catapulted to #5 on Spotify’s Viral 50 Chart (both US and Global) and the original plus remixes went on to amass over 20 million combined streams on Spotify. At radio, the single garnered over 1,000 plays on Sirius XM’s “BPM” channel and was supported at major Top 40 stations like KIIS FM in Los Angeles and KMVQ in San Francisco. “Bring Back the Summer (feat. Oly)” officially hit #1 on the Mediabase Dance Chart in August (knocking out Calvin Harris’ “This is What You Came For (feat. Rihanna)” in the process), and Rain Man celebrated by debuting the official music video (view here).

Building on his buzzing momentum, Rain Man released a string of notable official remixes including The Chainsmokers “Inside Out (feat. Charlee),”Watch The Duck’s “Beautiful, Broken, & Wasted (feat. Steve Aoki),” andYellow Claw’s “Sin City.” In addition to his busy release schedule, Rain Man also joined the Dim Mak 20th Anniversary celebration with performances in Miami, Chicago, and back-to-back Labor Day Weekend sets at New York’sElectric Zoo and Las Vegas’s Wet Republic.
 
Complementing Rain Man on “Habit” is Berklee College of Music graduate Krysta Youngs, whose eclectic alternative pop sound is on full display. The vocalist developed her craft through songwriter rounds in Nashville, Tennessee before working with The Writing Camp’s acclaimed founder David Quinones. Her unique sound has been featured in MTV’s The Real World, ESPN, andKeeping Up With The Kardashians. Additionally, she has worked with some of pop music’s biggest stars, including Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo, andRihanna. Combined with Rain Man’s impeccable production, Krysta Youngs’ vocals radiate through on this bona fide future classic.
