Electronic music producers No Mana & Tommy Trash team up on a driving release, “Can’t Say No” which is available to stream/download now via deadmau5.
No Mana & Tommy Trash – Can’t Say No
With a determination to bring electro-house back, “Can’t Say No” is a homage to when Hype Machine and MySpace were used to determine hit records. With its pulsating beat, atmospheric builds, and reverberating vocals courtesy of Tommy Trash, the track bleeds with nostalgic vibes and simplistic sonic textures.
“Hold onto your hype machine reviews and pause your favorite MySpace emo band and look no further cuz this is your new source of new music promo!!!!111!1 Myself and Tommy Trash decided to collaborate and kick off this headache (excuse the vaccine) of a compilation album with our track “Can’t Say No.” This 4-minute baby right here features 3oz of music, a tub of drums, microwaved synthesis, and spicy vocals from, nope, you didn’t guess it, Tommy’s own vocals. The nostalgic ingredients of this track are the perfect recipe for a certified 2008-recession banger. If you need a track to match the pain of your house rapidly depreciating in value, then this is the track for you and your neighbors.”
