Discrete & Notelle Bring Summer Energy On ‘Sunrise’, The 1st Single On 146 Records
Discrete kicks off summer with the blissful new single, ‘Sunrise’, featuring ISC-winning songwriter-singer, Notelle. It’s the debut release from 146 Records, the new record label set up by proven hitmaker, Gina Tucci, an industry “power player” in global dance music.
With these three behind it, there’s no doubt that ‘Sunrise’ is a hit in the making. Landing just in time for summer, Discrete chops and layers Notelle’s warm, intimate vocals, combining them with bright piano and a similarly sharp, skippy, breaks-infused dance beat to create exhilarating, end-of-the-night euphoria.
It’s the first offering from female founded NYC-based 146 Records, a new record label set to lead the new wave of independent dance labels, powered by the unparalleled vision and proven success of Gina Tucci, one of the most accomplished A&R leaders in global dance music, who helped break global acts such as Skrillex, Robin Schulz, Clean Bandit and Joel Corry, was the previous head of A&R at Big Beat Records, and recognised 4 times by Billboard Magazine as a “Power Player” in the dance music industry. Not just a record label, the publishing arm of the company, 146 Entertainment, will help support emerging dance music producers, songwriters and topliners in navigating the music industry, protecting their work and ensuring artists are credited and paid properly for their work.
