Back in Northern Virginia, the two met each other in High School and didn’t have the best memories with bonding. Today they now live in New York City creating music together. Always crushing it with every release, Dady rolls in with their new single “Rollerblades”.

Sometimes everything you want is directly in front of you, so why run in a different direction? Directly heard from the artist; singer-songwriter Rachel (Dady) explains:

“Rollerblades is a metaphor for that somewhat childish tendency to run away from a good thing. It’s about the realization that the special someone you’ve been searching for has been right in front of you the entire time.” – Rachel Dady

With their alternative spin on pop, Jesse and Rachel definitely came in strong with their fluttery synths and catchy lyrical melodies to tell the story of the song. “You leave me notes of love, I leave you in the dark – You gave your soul to take, I had my rollerblades”. The clever songwriters tell their story of running away from love in ways so unique that it leaves chills down your spine. Songwriter/producer Jesse tops it all and sells the song with unique futuristic sounds & outstanding commercial-ready production.

Release after release, became a hit after hit for Rachel and Jesse. The path of success is engraved in Dady’s career with every step these two talents take. So here you have it, your Rollerblades.

The loss of family can truly break you, and sometimes even shut you down. But the ability to reunite from it, is remarkable. Even with the struggles of hiding his dreams, Electronic Producer Juuku comes out with his latest remix “Under the Table” by Banks, which hits home in regards to the loss of himself, as well as his fallen ones.

Between battling back & forth with hesitation to pursue his dreams, Juuku unfortunately also went through the loss of his grandparents. The two leading elders had unresolved problems for 10 years straight. His grandparents hesitated to create resolutions for each other when they were present, but nothing is ever too late, Juuku explains. Through his music he expresses that as he overcomes his fears and connects with pursuing his art again, he believes that there is hope for the two fallen ones to reconcile relations again. 

Hesitation is distinctively noticed through each drop with a pause, which then momentarily follows with the song’s resume. Juuku as an Enigmatic Electronic Producer weaves unique feelings of love, fear, and intimacy into sonic & visual emotional experiences all through the sounds of cinematic design. In this remix, we see Juuku draw inspiration from his past, his late loved ones, his fear of death, his insecurities and his hope.
