Embark on a sonic journey to a trance-fueled dimension with the breathtaking new collab, “Reality”. Forged by John O’Callaghan, Tom Colontonio and Sinéad McCarthy, this mesmerizing tune opens with a dreamy progression of piano chords. As beautiful echoes enter the mix, so does an even more beautiful vocal delivery fromSinéad.
The multi-talented singer’s heavenly lyrics tells a powerful story, while John and Tom infuse mind-bending synths. Sinéad then asks “what is reality?”, and the song evolves into an uplifting trance beat.
A master of production, Tom has been cultivating his signature sound since he was 14. After diving into multiple genres, Tom received his first set of turn tables in 1996, and from then on he has climbed to the top of Philly’s trance scene.
Another crucial part of this collaboration is the sound engineering skill set of John. Also, well-known for his spellbinding works of trance music, John has been a vital member of Armada Music and its sub-labels. In 2010, John launched his own sub-label, Subculture, which is under Black Hole Recordings. This is the encompassing imprint for “Reality”.
Lastly, Sinéad is a jack of all trades, extremely gifted in singing, songwriting, producing, and DJing. Uniting their musical creativity, knowledge, and individual techniques, “Reality” is the result of aligning three groundbreaking artists together.
Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
