Doppelhandel Shares Hypnotic Retro Heartbreaker ‘So Many Times’
Love hurts—so why do we keep falling for it? “So Many Times” wrestles with that very question, wrapping heartbreak in pulsating synths and an irresistible hook that lingers long after the song ends. Doppelhandel dives deep into the turmoil of love and loss, where building emotional walls seems like the only way to survive.
This track oozes that signature new wave melancholy, with echoes of Depeche Mode’s cold, haunting atmospheres and New Order’s percussive drive. But just when you think it’s all doom and gloom, the hypnotic beat pulls you in, making heartbreak feel oddly addictive.
The chorus is pure magic—an industrial-tinged, synth-laden moment that instantly grabs you. It even brings to mind the darkly enchanting world of Thomas Azier, which makes it all the more intoxicating. You can almost picture yourself wandering through a neon-lit, cinematic dreamscape, where nostalgia and modernity collide in perfect harmony.
Doppelhandel has a way of making introspection feel like a night out. “So Many Times” is proof that pain can be danceable, and that sometimes, the best way to process love’s endless contradictions is to lose yourself in the music.
Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.
Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”
Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.
Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
