Luca Draccar is an electronic music artist who is originally from Berlin, Germany. Since he was a child, Luca gravitate towards the production of electronic music. His interest in the genre peaked in high school when he began using his first Macintosh computer to compose original music.
Upon completing his time studying multimedia communication and interactive design at the Bauhaus Universität Weimar, Luca went to the University of Politecnico in Milan where he
studied digital design and visual communication whilst also DJing in clubs and illegal raves throughout Milan. He later won a scholarship to study at the University of Music Franz Liszt in
Weimar, so he resultantly left Italy and moved to Germany.
To date Luca has developed an impressive discography on Spotify that includes 2018’s ‘Quo Vadis’ and ‘AAA Access All Areas’, 2019’s ‘Noordinary’, and 2020’s ‘No Sometimes Yes’. With
tracks like ‘Voulez vous coucher avec moi’ amassing over fifty-two thousand streams and ‘Loversive’ gathering over forty-three thousand streams, it is clear that Luca’s streaming success is continuing to increase rapidly.
FEATURED RELEASE
Our featured EP, ‘Flamboyant’ by, is out now and available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The EP lasts twenty-eight minutes and twenty-one seconds and consists of three unique tracks and one remix.
Although the EP is grouped under the electronic classification, each track delivers Luca’s unique and original take on the genre.
‘Birba’ lasts an impressive ten minutes and forty-six seconds and sits at 122bpm. From the systematic percussive drops, phased synth and inventive instrumental transitions, this track will keep the listener captivated from start to finish.
‘Every Exit is an Entrance’ lasts five minutes and twenty-five seconds and sits at 110bpm. This track features a foundational sub-bass that provides the perfect platform for the plethora of electronic instrumental elements that are driven by the steady percussion.
‘Never Settle’ lasts six minutes and twelve seconds and sits at 129bpm. From instances of intentional/momentary dissonance,
to the clean transitions, ambient synth layers and subtle swells, this track provides the perfect amount of instrumental diversification. It is clear that Luca has been well cultured by the variety of places where he has lived over the years; drawing from the dark rhythm of Berlin, the foundational structure of his first home in Italy, and the “exotic radiance” of Los Angeles combining to inspire his original style. Make sure you follow Luca on all his social media to keep up to date with his upcoming releases!
Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez has dropped his debut music video for his second single ‘Your Smile’ – quarantine style.
Vinema chatted with teen sensation Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez who has just released his debut music video for his second single ‘Your Smile’ – quarantine style.
VINEMA ARTIST INTERVIEW:
Can you tell us a bit about your new record ‘Your Smile’?
I wanted to release a summer song that showcased someone’s smile using the backdrop of a few of Southern California’s stunning locations. I love the beach and so incorporating surfing or flip flops into the lyrics along with a girl’s smile was a must!
‘Your Smile’ is centred around a young girl’s captivating smile that is suddenly noticed by one of her friends, who is looking at her with a different appreciation for the very first time. Her admirer dreams of whisking her away for sandy toes and snow cones on the beach. The lyrics are about how she shouldn’t change a thing as she is fly just the way she is. It is fun, light and bursting full of summer!
Tell us about the music video.
Well, due to the current COVID-19 filming restrictions in Los Angeles, we had to be really careful, so I just had two of my friends and one videographer, plus my mum of course, on set.
We tried to incorporate some of Malibu’s most gorgeous hotspots, and of course me catching a wave at my favourite place, the beach.
Since releasing your debut pop record ‘My Crew’ in July, you have had some great results on the streaming services. Congratulations!
Oh yes, I am thrilled with the response to my music so far. We released my debut record ‘My Crew’ on July 7th and it’s so exciting to see it is currently pushing 200,000 streams. ‘Your Smile’ has been climbing at a rapid rate with over 105,000 streams on Spotify today. I am so grateful to everyone who has listened to the songs so far.
What’s up next for you?
I recording three songs at age twelve during the Los Angeles lockdown, and I am releasing one song consecutively each month, ‘My Crew’, which released on 07.07, ‘Your Smile’ on 08.08 and next in line is ‘Up To You’ on 09.09. I have a further three records penned for later in the year as well as a special Holiday song. I am super excited to tell you about that!
‘Your Smile’ from Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez is currently out and available for download on iTunes and all digital streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Pandora, DEEZER and more!
N2BLÜ are back with another pop dance hit in the form of ‘King of Broken Hearts’.
‘King of Broken Hearts’ follows their well supported LGBTQIA global smash ‘NSA’.
When asked about the meaning behind the song, Jonathan Arceneaux fromthe world famous dance pop act N2BLÜ said:
“King of Broken Hearts is a biographical look of my romantic history and patterns. I’ve never been in a long-term relationship, yet that’s all I’ve ever wanted. To find my person and have the fairy-tale happily ever after. Unfortunately, I kept repeating the same choices over and over. Choosing the wrong person, over-compromising myself for them, trying to be who they wanted me to be and always ending the same”.
It’s time to break the cycle and become the King/Queen of your own heart. It’s time to Love yourself!
LYRIC VIDEO PREMIERE: N2BLÜ release a majestic soaring synth dance sound with big electronic hooks on ‘King of Broken Hearts’ – Vinema Lyric Video Premieres
LYRICS FEATURE – N2BLÜ – KING OF BROKEN HEARTS
I may not be your ever after
We had fun at first and moments of rapture
You wouldn’t be my first mistake
But now I’m trying my best to change my fate
And just one time
I’d love to be the first one on your mind
But no matter how it starts
I guess I’ll be the King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I don’t wanna be the second choice
A novelty just to fill the void
Eyes open kissing, looking for better
All the love I spent was just a ticket for never
But just for now
I’d love to be the wanted one somehow
When it all falls apart
I guess I’ll be the King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I sit of this lonely throne, built on heartbreak
Should I go it alone or try to tempt fate?
Under a heavy crown, made of frozen tears
Could there still be hope after all these years?
My kingdom is cracked by a spark of hope
Coming out of the black, learning to let go
The door is my heart and I am the key
Cuz I don’t want to be
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
Of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Kings
I don’t wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I don’t wanna be
I don’t want to be
The King of Broken Hearts
N2BLÜ – THE FULL STORY
The previous hit single from N2BLÜ was entitled ‘NSA’.
Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
‘King of Broken Hearts’ is out now and follows up from their previous LGBTQIA global hit ‘NSA.
British actor turned pop singer Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez has dropped his first single ‘My Crew’ produced by hit makers Laney Stewart, who has sold over 50 million records producing, writing, and publishing artists such as Chris Brown, Alessia Cara, and Madonna to name a few, and writers Alex Jacke, who has written for various artist’s including Jason Derulo, Madison Beer, Kehlani and Kanye West, and Liz Rodriguez (Viva!

Like most teenagers, friendships go along way for Alexander, who chose to write his first record during COVID-19 about his closest friends, who have been with him since day one since living in America. Having moved from Spain to London to Los Angeles when he was a toddler, all friendships great and small are important.
“It’s been a tough year for everyone, everywhere, so I wanted to sing songs that people could relate to and sing together whatever they were doing,” said, Alexander. “For me, My Crew is a fun song to celebrate my friends who have stuck with me through thick and thin. We all need a good crew around us, especially in times like these, and I am grateful to have mine since day one. I really hope people enjoy the record and vibe along with each other.”
After much postponement, due to the pandemic, Alexander recorded the three records at age twelve with one song consecutively being released each month, ‘My Crew’ (07.07), ‘Your Smile’ (08.08) and ‘Up To You’ (09.09), with a further three records penned for later in the year.
The SAG-AFTRA actor is best known for his British voice-over work on the popular animated series Bee and Puppycat on Cartoon Hangover, where he plays Bee’s loveable landlord, Cardamon. Other acting and voice over credits include the 2020 Golden-Globe winner and Academy-nominee Missing Link, Lance Kinsey’s feature-film All-Stars, and Flock of Four, set in 1959 Los Angeles, directed by Greg Caruso.
The versatile performer has also appeared in various national TV commercials and print campaigns. In 2015, Alexander took to the stage joining the cast of ‘Appropriate’ in the highly acclaimed Centre Theatre Group production at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.
Kicking off the trilogy, ‘My Crew’ is currently out and available for download on iTunes and all digital streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Pandora, DEEZER and more!

When asked about the meaning behind the single Jonathan from N2BLÜ said:
“Better Now is a very personal song about a past relationship and a past version of myself (Jonathan). I used to feel unworthy of love and that lead me to relationships and people that weren’t the healthiest. The journey to self acceptance is not an easy one and it never really ends. It’s something we have to work on every day and all we can really hope for is to be better now than we were then”.

LYRICS SPOTLIGHT – BETTER NOW
Better Now by N2BLÜ
Just like a hole in the heart of the ocean
You make me wish that I could drown
Keep pouring myself into your void of emotions
As your anchor pulls me down
And I’m losing myself just to feed your ego
But it’s never enough to make this love grow
Even though we don’t fit, you don’t stop me trying Leaving me the only one crying
But I know better now I know better I I know better now I know better I I know better now Better now
Better now Better now Better now Better now
Wearing the mask of someone who knows love
Your flashing colors draw me in
Painting my fantasy as you fit me like a glove
Where you end and I begin?
You keep drawing me in with flames of passion
When all that I want is your love reaction
Even though it’s not right, I still do it for you
Hoping someday you’ll be the one that’s true
But I know better now I know better I I know better now I know better I I know better now Better now
Better now Better now Better now Better now
You were the one I thought I wanted You were the one I thought I needed You were what I thought I deserved I deserve
You were the one I thought I wanted You were the one I thought I needed You were what I thought I deserved I deserve…
Better now I know better I I know better now I know better I
I know better now Better now Better now
Better now Better now Better now I deserve better now I deserve better now
Better now Better now Better now I know better I
I know better now I know better Better now
Better now Better now

When asked about the meaning and inspiration behind the powerful new single, they revealed that:
Romantic nostalgia is the inspiration behind ‘Again’
Just when you think you’re done with Love, you find out that Love isn’t done with you.
‘Again’ explores the wants and desires inside each of us. Even when we have convinced ourselves that Love is too painful or isn’t worth it, a “Spark” inside each of us is there to remind us that we’re not meant to be alone and that we will all be found in our own time.

Let me crystallize this moment
Untouched by time but living in this space
A kiss so deep it could rival an ocean
Burning in my mind, never to be erased I wanna see you there
Dancing like nobody’s watching Whispering in my ear
How we could really be something
I wanna feel that way again Whoa
I wanna feel that way again Whoa
Tell me this will last for a lifetime
Or at least forever and a day
Through all the clouds you are the sunshine
Please don’t let this slip away I wanna see you there
Dancing like nobody’s watching Whispering in my ear
How we could really be something
I wanna feel that way again Whoa
I wanna feel that way again Whoa
You set off a spark in me
Set ablaze I can barely breathe
Crystalize this moment in time
Where I am yours are you are mine
You set off a spark in me
Set ablaze I can barely breathe
Crystalize this moment in time
Where I am yours are you are mine
I wanna see you there
Dancing like nobody’s watching
Whispering in my ear
How we could really be something
I wanna feel that way again Whoa
I wanna feel that way again
Whoa I wanna see you there
Dancing like nobody’s watching
Whispering in my ear
How we could really be something
I wanna feel that way again Whoa
I wanna feel that way again Whoa

Chris helped me during one of the darker times in my life and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
His catchphrase, “Life may not always be the party you had hoped for, but while you’re here, you might as well dance!” is what this song is all about”.
N2BLÜ who have recently released a string of Independent hit releases are a creative and inventive dance pop duo with a very strong lyrical outlet hidden in their shiny pop sensibility.
When asked about the production and creation of the track ‘Dance’ they revealed that “Jay is the Artist/songwriter/singer and Kosat is the producer”.
BRAND NEW SINGLE – DANCE
Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.

My late Mom was a lover of music, I remember she would blast Aretha Franklin, Sade, Lauryn Hill, DonellJones, The Jackson 5 and countless other artists. I know for sure that’s where my love for harmonies was cultivated– that real R&B. The lyrics I wrote for this project are all honest and true feelings. It was a relief for me mentally to just express my thoughts and experiences. My overall goal is to connect listeners and remind them that we all are going through something”.

When asked about the release and it’s inspiration they said “This song is about finding the person/people who “match your kind of crazy”. We all have our issues when it comes to love and relationships and finding the person who gets you can be one of the biggest challenges. Personally, I (Jonathan) struggle with depression and anxiety, which is generally stigmatized, unfortunately. Match My Crazy is about my struggle with love and relationships,
but hopefully a way to help end the stigma against mental health”.
