MAGNETIC’S ARTIST OF THE WEEK: ENTEL

After a massive 2022 that had showcased his debut album ‘Melodies In Harmony’ on Grum’s Deep State Recordings and international performances in Toronto, Canada, and London, UK, weeks ago Entel returned to his hometown weeks ago for an exhilarating one-hour DJ set atop the historic Leveque Tower. 

The buzz of his performance is still palpable in the dance music community, and we wanted to bring the Colombus-based producer to keep the wave rolling forward. This is why we decided to invite him on to be this week’s Artist of the Week, giving him an extra platform to showcase his favorite music that has been destroying his sets lately.

1. Entel – Norma

Shameless plug for my newest release, out on my imprint ‘Entelect.’ Norma is a progressive song named after my late grandmother and has been a huge part of my sets over the last year and a half. 

I’m really excited to have this one out now.

2. Grum – Don’t Look Down ft. Natalie Shay

Probably my favorite song from Grums newest album. Don’t Look Down has a euphoric instrumental with powerful vocals from Natalie Shay. One of the hardest parts of playing shows with Grum is keeping this one out of my sets

3. Cristoph – Turning Away ft. Ross Quinn

Cristoph and Ross Quinn delivered a massive club track with this one. I get chills every time the breakdown hits, perfection.

4. Entel – Dream State

A song off my debut album ‘Melodies In Harmony’, Dream State is a progressive song inspired by the trance Super Bowl, ‘Dream State Music Festival. It’s a bucket list event that I’d love to play one day, and this song was written with that mainstage goal in mind.

5. Pete K – Someone That I Used to Know

Pete has been one of my favorite producers over the last few years.’ Someone That I Used To Know’ is a perfect example of the powerful progressive sounds he brings to each song.

6. Entel – Strangers ft. Eileen Jaime

Sometimes you find a collaborator whose vision clicks with yours immediately. For me Eileen Jaime is one of those artists, and it’s been incredible working with her over the last few years on music. Stranger was the first song we worked on using my label ‘Entelect.’

7. Vintage & Morrelli – Crossroads

Sometimes you hear a song that hits a perfect groove and melody. Vintage & Morrelli nailed it with this one, I can’t help but dance around the room everytime it pops on.

8. Entel – Eyes

‘Eyes’ was a fun one for me and I love the memories that now accompany it. It marked my first release with ‘Deep State,’ and my first major radio support on Above & Beyond’s ‘Group Therapy.’ It continues to be a song that rotates in and out of my sets that I love seeing the reactions to.

9. Erik Lucas – Aim at Heaven

Aim at Heaven is everything that I love about progressive music in sonic form. Erik’s a producer with such a solid and consistent sound to his music. I feel lucky to call this dude a friend; the unreleased stuff he’s been sharing with me is top-tier.

10. Kasablanca – Am I Dreaming?

I’m a sucker for the retro 80’s inspired sound Kasablanca has. I’ve been loving their releases over the last few years as they take the progressive scene by storm.

11. Above & Beyond ft Zoe Johnston – You Got To Go [Fehrplay Remix]

Fehrplay is a producer who I constantly am inspired by. His sound has such a unique touch, and this remix represents that wonderfully.

12. Massane – Wild ft Colouring [Grigore Remix]

This is a really solid remix from Grigore. Perfect blend of melodies with a really danceable groove. This is nerdy but my favorite part of this song is the drums, they’re mixed to perfection.

13. D-Nox & Stereo Underground – Gruuve

The name says it all for this one. D-Nox and Stereo Underground delivered a great club track that I’ve used in a few sets since its release.’

14. Simon Doty – Have You Ever?

Simon Doty for me is a perfect blend of progressive sounds, mixed with incredibly solid house grooves. His productions are always at the top of my list, I can’t wait to hear his new album when it’s out.

15. Dusky – Yoohoo

Dusky is one of the first acts I really dove into when I first started listening to Electronic Music. They constantly push boundaries and try new things in the studio, and continue to be a massive inspiration of mine today.
