LAURA ESCUDÉ RELEASES HER NEW EP 

ENOUGHNESS

INSPIRED BY PERSONAL GROWTH 

AND SELF -LOVE

“Escudé’s talents transcend the work she’s lent to larger artists…”

 - Dancing Astronaut

“In order to really understand the complexities and genuine music crafting that she is doing, you’ll have to

immerse yourself into her work.” - Noisey

“We’re hearing, immersing and have fallen prey to the siren sound of this producer who already lends her

programming chops for Kanye West, Jay-Z and many other top dogs.” -VIBE

“Trained as a violinist, Escudé gravitated toward electronic music in college. At first, her work was within the realm of Warp Records-style intelligent dance music (IDM), but eventually it evolved into something more accessible.”  - Paper Magazine

“You are a badass, and you certainly have our attention.” - Hypebae

LISTEN TO ENOUGHNESS : HERE 

Los Angeles-based Future Classical artist and master technologist Laura Escudé has released her new EP ENOUGHNESS, that documents her journey to acceptance and self love. This past year of forced isolation pushed Escudé to confront her darkest inner demons and start the recovery process  from a 20 year eating disorder. Escudé spent such a large portion of her life obsessing over her physical and not loving herself, which she wrote about on Medium for National Eating Disorder Awareness week, living a life that was not sustainable, both physically and mentally. Music is where Escudé feels the most free, and with ENOUGHNESS synthesized her skills as a classically-trained violinist and avant garde electronic producer, infusing neo-classical & sleek futuristic style with raw emotion to share her story. 

Technology is a second language for Escudé, who became the world’s first Ableton Certified Trainer in 2008. In 2012, she founded Electronic Creatives, using her skills to hire and train programmers and playback engineers for artists including Logic, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Big Sean, Charli XCX, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Electronic Creatives has hosted several playback engineering training programs over the years, with the latest being MASTERTRACK Worldwide. Escudé brought massive productions to life for the biggest and most influential artists in the world including Kanye West, Jay Z, Bon Iver, Missy Elliot, Herbie Hancock, and television megabrand American Idol. 

“As one of the pioneers in live show programming -- especially the use of Ableton Live software, now widely regarded as the industry standard -- Escudé has helped reshape how the concert industry uses electronic music and digital playback across virtually every genre of music.” - Billboard

These creative applications of technology made Escudé one of the world’s most in-demand live show programmers and saw her touring extensively all over the world. With this level of success came the pressure to keep pushing herself to and in 2016, Escudé experienced awakening after tour burnout landed her in the hospital. The night before she went to the hospital she was on stage at Madison Square Garden performing with Kanye West for the Life of Pablo release, the night before playing a show in San Francisco, and the night before that on stage performing with Miguel at the Forum. This pace and schedule was just another week in her life. This is not an unusual story for creatives. Kanye was hospitalized for exhaustion for 10 days during The Life of Pablo Tour, Dave Chapelle spent time in the hospital for exhaustion during the Chapelle Show’s run….and the list goes on. This hospital stay was a wake-up call for Escudé and the start of an ongoing journey of self healing. She decided to not only apply the tools she gathered on this journey to helping herself, but channel her energy to help other musicians to live better and teach them how to “hustle healthier.” In 2017 she launched The Transmute™ Retreat,  a week-long workshop incorporating yoga, meditation, nature, live performance workshops, and community performances. Since then Transmute has evolved into multiple courses, The Transmute™ Accelerator online course to help artists accelerate their live performances using technology, and The Transmute™ Academy, a community dedicated to Ableton Live + Music Tech Courses & Events to help artists continue their growth in music and business, in addition to The Transmute™ Academy Masterclasses with special guest presenters 2x month. 

This focus on her personal health and the health of her peers has given her a refreshed look on life, a newly lit creative fire that was funneled into the 4 songs on this EP. “I Love Me,” is a musical meditation on self love and was Escudé’s mantra throughout the pandemic. "Can I Hold You Anymore?" was written for Andrew Huang’s 4 Producers episode on YouTube, on which Escudé got the chance to collaborate with Jamie Lidell. “Embrace Your Shadow" was written with lyricist Lila Rose as another reminder to herself and all to love ourselves completely, even the darkest parts and “Unlimited Expansiveness” is an instrumental journey through space and time, to remind us to be expansive with our thinking. The more we focus on expanding, the faster we move through our limitations. “I use my compositions to practice embodied liberation and allow the creative space to be my teacher—to let the process be the process and let go of what it should be,” says Escudé. “I hope ENOUGHNESS becomes this for you too because you are ENOUGH.”

LISTEN TO “EMBRACE YOUR SHADOW” : HERE

Los Angeles-based artist, innovator, entrepreneur and live show designer Laura Escudé has released her new single, and most personal work to date “Embrace Your Shadow,” co-written with Lila Rose and announces her new EP Enoughness, due out May 11. Synthesizing her skills as a classically trained violinist and technical prowess, and avant-garde electronic producer, Escudé infuses neo-classical & sleek futuristic style with raw emotion elicited with her musical machines. 

Technology is a second language for Escudé, who became the world’s first Ableton Certified Trainer in 2008. In 2012, she founded Electronic Creatives, using her skills to hire and train programmers and playback engineers for artists including Logic, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Big Sean, Charli XCX, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Electronic Creatives has hosted several playback engineering training programs over the years, with the latest being MASTERTRACK Worldwide. Escudé brought massive productions to life for the biggest and most influential artists in the world including Kanye West, Jay Z, Bon Iver, Missy Elliot, Herbie Hancock, and television megabrand American Idol. These creative applications of technology made Escudé one of the world’s most in-demand live show designers and saw her touring extensively with these shows, collaborating with artists to create fresh, thrilling experiences for audiences worldwide.

“There’s more to a concert than an artist playing music: there are transitions, remixes of songs, and video and lighting production that has to be synced with the music. Ever wondered how this comes together so seamlessly? Laura Escudé—founder and CEO of live show design company Electronic Creatives and musical artist—is one of the most renowned people in this field responsible for creating live shows.”  - Forbes

In 2016, Escudé experienced awakening after tour burnout landed her in the hospital. She was exhausted, stressed, and at one of the lowest points in her life, and unsure how to get better. Escudé was forced to take a break from work and focus on her health. This physical, mental, emotional and spiritual process involved letting go of unproductive habits and thought patterns, facing her fears and giving up aspects of her life that didn’t serve her. Escudé was soon not just better, but for the first time in her life truly thriving, which became apparent in her work. Escudé shed the moniker of Alluxe, under which she had been releasing music for years and decided to put out music under her own name. This breakthrough inspired her to help others, particularly live performers to optimize their own health and well-being. In 2017, she launched The Transmute™ Retreat, a week-long workshop incorporating yoga, meditation, nature, live performance workshops, and community performances. In 2019, she launched The Transmute™ Accelerator online course to help artists accelerate their live performances using technology, and in 2021 launched The Transmute™ Academy, a community dedicated to Ableton Live + Music Tech Courses & Events to help artists continue their growth in music and business, in addition to The Transmute™ Academy Masterclasses with special guest presenters 2x month. The Transmute™ Accelerator is a year-long program, with launch events featuring top industry experts, such as Suzanne Ciani, The Album Leaf, and Sudan Archives.

 Personal growth is an ongoing process, and this past year of forced isolation was the catalyst for some heavy healing and self-work that Laura had been putting off for years. The stillness of 2020 pushed Laura into the start of the recovery process from a 20-year eating disorder, which she wrote about HERE on Medium. This healing journey is the inspiration behind “Embrace Your Shadow,” and the Enoughness EP as a whole.  It’s about learning to love yourself, especially the messy parts. “For me, music is the most inclusive space. It gives me full permission to create, be and express myself,” says Escudé. “I find when I am deep in musical reflection I feel the most free and expansive. When I honor the sounds that naturally come through me, I am healed. It is my intention for this track, and the full EP, to be a journey and space to cultivate knowing, healing, and for transformation.”

ZAYDE WOLF RELEASES HIS MONSTER SINGLE “HOLY WATER” FROM THE FORTHCOMING ALBUM NEON BLOOD TYPE OUT MAY 7TH

ZAYDE WOLF RELEASES HIS MONSTER SINGLE 

“HOLY WATER” FROM THE FORTHCOMING

ALBUM  NEON BLOOD TYPE 

OUT MAY 7TH

“ZAYDE WØLF has slowly but surely started to take over the world.” - Alternative Addiction

“With this electric and in your face musical creation he inspires us to speak up and follow your dreams. He embraces his own fire to give life to this soundscape as it unites melodies and lyrics to craft something that is sure to trigger something in all of us. -  Wolf in a Suit 

“Zayde’s driving and melodic vocals that are simple yet they work perfectly with the song as the instrumentation and music itself is not overly complicated….. “ Hard Beat Magazine

“Perhaps the perfect description of ZAYDE is simply the dark rock child of Imagine Dragons and The Black Keys.” - Ones to Watch

“Here whispery intensity blossoms into a melodic and sonic tour de force as the song is triumphantly orchestrated.” - Parade Magazine (on “New Blood - Reimagined”)

LISTEN TO “HOLY WATER”: HERE

Nashville’s Alt. Rock chart topper Zayde Wølf, the musical persona of  Grammy nominated producer and songwriter Dustin Burnett has released a beast of a single “Holy Water,” one his most powerful songs to date, a bold statement being that his music has yielded over 400 Million streams and has served as the motivational soundtrack for millions of fans, who have found the strength and inspiration to overcome life’s toughest challenges in Wølf’s music. I get all these emails,” Burnett told Billboard, “with all these stories about how the music has moved people in some way. I wanted to continue to make music for people to be inspired by." 

“Holy Water” follows the formula of some of the most memorable songs ever written, being that it manifested quickly, unexpectedly and was a last-minute addition to the album. It was one of those accidental songs that emerged once Burnett released his creative boundaries as he felt the album was finished. "I didn't try to write ‘Holy Water’ on purpose, it was already in there, a raw and personal moment, just waiting for me to release it,” says Burnett.  "Sometimes when you remove all of your boundaries on your creativity, something new, surprising, and even fantastic emerges. I think ‘Holy Water ‘was that for me."

“Holy Water,” which is featured on Spotify's All New Rock and New Noise playlists  follows up the anti-hero inspired song “Madness,” that  Indie Obsessive said was filled with  “thunderous percussion, backing vocal shouts, and crescendos that contribute to the pandemic-like motivational effect that ‘Madness’ builds in listeners,” and was immediately swooped up for us all throughout the NCAA March Madness tournament by CBS and Turner  Sports. “Back At It” Zayde Wølf’s  first taste of the new music this year, was a powerful entry that Apiate called “ an energetic pop/rock track that carries the musician’s signature electronic-infused style. Zayde’s lyrics are reminiscent and uplifting and he delivers the song with infectious exuberance,” setting the tone for what 2021 had in store for Zayde Wølf fans, his third full length album Neon Blood Type. This album follows the 2018 release of Modern Alchemy, Zayde Wølf’s sophomore full-length album, which charted in over 25 countries on the iTunes charts and debuted in the top ten on the iTunes Alternative chart in the U.S. within hours of its release. 

“ Neon Blood Type signifies everything that is unique within people and within Burnett. “ 

- American Songwriter 

Unintimidated by his past successes, Dustin Burnett (aka Zayde Wølf) has always been solely focused on making music that helps listeners to push through and overcome life’s challenges.  This motivational mentality of transcending the past, and not allowing it to define who you will be, are not just concepts Burnett has embraced, but it’s how he has lived his life. Raised in Metropolis, a small town in Illinois best known for its fictional favorite son, Clark Kent, the level of success Burnett has achieved, both personally and professionally, is beyond anything he ever imagined or that was expected of him growing up. The Zayde Wølf project which started by accident five years ago has grown into an empire that includes 245K YouTube subscribers, 90 million video views, over 1.4 Million monthly listeners on Spotify, with 400 million streams across all streaming platforms and millions of followers, all outside of the mainstream music business (i.e no label, no publishers etc.).  This is on top of the hundreds of films, TV shows, trailers, commercials, and video games that have featured his music. The list includes Shameless, Skyscraper movie, Love-Simon movie, the Jack Reacher 2, The Maze Runner 3, Pride Prejudice & Zombies, spots for UFC, MLB, NFL, Dodge, Jeep, WWE, Xbox, NBA, and more. In addition to syncs, Wølf has creatively expanded his reach by cultivating partnerships with brands such as Dude Perfect, one of the top YouTube sports channels with over 54 Million subscribers and 12 Billion views. Other creative partnerships include collaborations with Fortnite champion DrLupo, and extreme downhill racers Rémy Métailler and Matt Walker. Last year Burnett partnered with the NHL and  NBC sports for the Stanley Cup Finals where they used the Zayde Wølf track  “Home” in a spot featuring Burnett performing the song  HERE, and most recently was the featured celebrity guest on the Gamer Hour where Burnett and Host Chris Puckett talked about their love for video games and went head to head live playing  Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.
