DaFOO, Benjah, Crayon 88 - Shalom & Salem - Crayon 88 Remix (CEDM)

DaFOO, Benjah, Crayon 88 - Shalom & Salem - Crayon 88 Remix
DaFOO, Benjah, Crayon 88 has released a Christian EDM (CEDM) track called Shalom & Salem - Crayon 88 Remix.

The Hebrew and Arabic word for peace, Shalom and Salem, has the same consonants and through the Semitic cultures, it has a linguistic meaning as well.
The Swiss duo daFOO and American Benjah reached a vast audience and got a lot of positive feedback with their original song.
Unfortunately, the themes of the song still resonate today, so Crayon 88 was given the task of remixing the song so that it would reach even more people with the message. The result is an exciting Moombathon & Psytrance sound.

Here is a little background about the song.  According to a British study, we have never been as close to the third world war as we are today. Anti-Semitism is on the rise, and we hear about terrorism and xenophobia every day. He realized how contested peace is even within his own environment and the words, "Shalom oh Shalom and Salem aleikum," rang in his ears like a melody.
Peace, as both Shalom and Salem mean, share consonants and are related linguistically because they come from Semitic cultures. DaFOO's original music video for Shalom & Salem depicted a woman wearing a burka and an Orthodox Jew approaching each other in an attempt to illustrate that artistically. Rather than being a provocation, the song serves as an example of all cultures, which are separated by walls, with its multilayered message. The pre-chorus of the song says: “I`m lookin’ for a door going through the wall of pride cause I know your reachin for the other side…”.
DaFOO recognizes the issues that can lead to hatred, violence, and separation as a result of his past experiences and work with young people. Even with all the wealth of the world, each person, in the end, seeks peace, regardless of whether he has hope for the future, a safe home, or a family. This implies firstly peace for oneself, then peace with one's environment, and finally, world peace, the desire expressed by so many people!

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

This powerful track is more than just a catchy tune – it's a testimony to the power of faith and perseverance in the face of adversity. The song's background is equally inspiring. After experiencing a major setback in both his spiritual and business life, Alexander found himself feeling discouraged and hopeless. He even took a break from music for a while.
