Seinabo Sey veröffentlicht ihr Debütalbum - Pretend' Mit ihrem ersten Album - Pretend' schickt die
schwedische Soul-Sängerin Seinabo Sey (Gewinnerin des "Grammis Awards 2015") wenige Wochen
vor dem Jahresende einen weiteren Kandidaten für den - Album des Jahres'-Titel ins Rennen. Mit dem
Song - Younger', der mittlerweile 4-fach Platin in Norwegen und 3-fach Platin in Schweden erreicht hat,
eroberte sie vor einem Jahr die Blogs. Seitdem hat Seinabo Sey, die in ihrem
unkonventionell-überraschenden Pop-Entwurf auch mit Soul und Noir-Stimmungen flirtet, kontinuierlich
weiter an ihrem Sound gefeilt. Insgesamt fünf ihrer bisherigen Veröffentlichungen gingen an die Spitze
der Hype Machine-Charts - neben - Younger' unter anderem auch - Hard Time' und - Pistols at
Dawn'. Auf ihrem heißersehnten Debütalbum - Pretend', unterstützt von Madonna-Produzent Magnus
Lidehäll, gibt sie tiefe Einblicke in ihr Gefühlsleben und überschreitet dabei ganz bewusst
Genregrenzen. - Dieses Album handelt wirklich durchweg von meinem Leben', berichtet sie. - Es geht
um all die Dinge, die ich erlebt habe.'

UK producer Fono who is currently smashing in clubs with his track Real Joy on Relentless, has ripped apart 'Lean On' the global hit, chopping up the vocals and adding some pulse to the rhythm. A relentless piece of electronic propulsion which has the clubs going insane.

Re Release with new catalogue number /ean and uincluding CD for the first time! Syd Matters, whose real name is Jonathan Morali, combined the names of two members of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett and Roger Waters, to create his stage name. For songwriter Jonathan Morali and his band Syd Matters, song-writing can best be described as an adventure. Listen to the gentle persistence of Wolfmother or River Sister as they instil their entrancing melodies, reaching deep into the soul, while Hi Life and Lost, thanks to their arrangements, both sound like instant classics without forsaking any of their unquestioned originality. The five travellers in Syd Matters chose not to weigh themselves down with any unnecessary baggage and their album only goes to prove how right they were. The fluency of the texts, the beauty of each musical gesture and the imagination behind every note meet the needs of anyone who wants to live their life freely and harmoniously in music. - download card with a unique code to get the mp3 of the complete album

new realease from Takashi Wada on his own label WADA

RSS Disco remixen Masin von Ya Tosiba. Das Hamburger DJ und Producer Trio schiebt die Bassline in den Vordergrund und lässt die Synthieflächen glitzern. Der Originalsong handelt vom plötzlichen Aufkommen schicker Autos in den Straßen von Baku in den 1980ern. Jetzt ist es ein perfekter Cruising Track.Patric Catani aka Candie Hank mixt einen euphorisch bouncenden Kopfnicker aus Molla, der Zuzus Meykhana Vocals alle Ehre bereitet.

Wet Play invite you to take a dip into their aural bubble bath for a third soaking as they complete their 'Where Good Friends Meet' triptych on Red Laser Records. Inaugurating three new players into their much-loved steam room alongside long-serving patron, Metrodome.
Rest assured this is one wash closet you're sure to frequent again and again.

Benny Badge, long term friend and cohort of our Randall Marsh, twice removed Manc and modern funk extraordinaire dons his Freekwency cap and kicks things off with 'Streetboxx' - a loose and squelchy stroller / moocher dripping with Benny's flair for drum programming and goose-bump inducing melodies. Never untucked but rambunctiously grooving its way through Melbourne's sun-kissed, wide highways without a foamy dangler in sight.

Next, we jump into the Delorian and revisit 1983 as Glasgow's best kept secret, Tension provides possibly the most authentic slice of summertime soul you've heard since any of us here at Wet Play HQ were even born (Ruf Dug excused). Listen to that lyric - the guitars, niggling synth licks and perfectly executed tom rolls: fuck!
Timeless boogie!

Giving you all the smells and feelings of a thorough soaking Metrodome and Il Bosco flip the script and give you the other flavours of our sensual soiree on the flip.

'Xanthan Gum' instantly reeks of what is now the standard de rigueur from Metrodome - futureproof as a Swiss army knife, sound system ready to tickle the fuck outta the tweeters, subs & nether regions, while being blissfully catchy, radiant and groovy as hell.
The cats out of the bag on this guy. We know peops are after snapping up his art like a new Picasso. An increasingly busy body, wrist-deep in various projects including pounding out beats for Manchester's infamous Levelz crew - we're super buzzed that he's kept some stone cold gems like this one held back for his foster family / nursery group Wet Play :) Nice one champ.

Finally, if you didn't already know, none of these Wet Play records would happen without parent label Red Laser having faith in our unprofessional, haphazard yet highly spirited outfit. Matt and Woody, perhaps witnessing a mirror of their former years, saw the intoxicating and unique atmosphere at our club nights and got us into gear to release these records; so it's a double buzz when Woody sparks up his machines and gets all cybotronic on our arses under his Il Bosco guise.

Hitting perfectly that late-night, drugged-out moment of floating-in-a-timeless-vacuum bliss when the smoke and the strobe and the lasers hit maximum, and the dancefloor's united in a serotonin flooded synergy; his 'Mind Meld' dub of Kano's 'Another Life' instantly transports you to the centre of the dancefloor at our first adopted home, Kraak. Emotional, hedonistic times from whence intense relationships were made, fresh moments were etched into people's minds and happiness poured into the streets.

2-Track

A couple of years ago, Epoch established his Egyptian Avenue imprint with a few releases of skewed, bass-heavy club tracks from himself, Wen and Filter Dread. In the hiatus since, Epoch has been busy releasing on Innamind Recordings and Keysound compilations, but now - with little warning - he is resurrecting Egyptian Avenue with a startling change of direction. AVENUE001 features a couple of original Epoch productions that are a distinct step away from previous material, as he crafts two deeply reflective soundscapes built for nocturnal listening. The record's A side, Windmill, features the soulful vocal talents of London-based AFIYA. Her voice transfixes; meandering and drifting over waves of gently probing breakbeats and a grainy synth melody line to powerfully emotive effect. Even more wistful and sombre still, Devotion combines ghostly atmospherics with the chilling vocal and violin contributions of accomplished LA-based musician Alicia Kiah. Sunken ripples of sub-bass lurk beneath her violin strokes and the insistently swaying percussion, creating a mournful, yet beautiful, piece of music. The personal, emotionally charged nature of Epoch's release perhaps showcases another facet of his production, and marks a fine way to re-launch Egyptian Avenue.

Highlights, the band's first collection of new material since their critically-lauded debut, Mixed Emotions, in 2012, began in a basement in Pittsburgh and ended in a church in Brooklyn. It trades world music sounds for a more alive, realized approach, the result of Emm and Cohen knowing they wanted to break from their 'two guys, one screen' writing style.

Die Hitsingle "This Summer" ab dem 24. Juli auch als 2-Track CD!
Der Sommer ist endlich da und dazu darf die passende Hymne natürlich nicht fehlen: Diese kommt
dieses Jahr von Maroon 5, die mit ihrer neuen Single - This Summer' in gewohnter Maroon 5-Manier
zum Mittanzen einladen. Die Single steht am Radio bereits kurz davor die Top 10 der Airplay Charts
zu stürmen! Digital ist die Single seit dem 15. Mai über das Repack des Erfolgsalbums - V'
erhältlich. Das Repack erscheint physisch am 24. Juli, zeitgleich mit der 2-Track CD "This Summer",
die neben dem neuen Sommer-Hit zusätzlich einen Nicki Minaj Remix der vorherigen Single "Sugar"
beinhaltet.
Neben dem aktuellen Album "V" veröffentlichten Maroon 5 bereits vier weitere Erfolgsalben: Songs
About Jane (DE Charts #5), It Won't Be Soon Before Long (#6), Hands All Over ( #17) und
Overexposed (#4). Insgesamt verkauften sie dabei über 17 Millionen Alben weltweit. Ihre
Veröffentlichungen erhielten Gold & Platin in über 35 Ländern und die Liste der Hits ist unendlich lang:
This Love, She Will Be Loved, Payphone, One More Night uvm. Zusätzlich veröffentlichten sie
erfolgreiche Kollaborationen, unter anderem mit Christina Aguilera in - Moves Like Jagger'.

Als Hälfte des US-amerikanischen Duos The Civil Wars feierte Joy Williams zwischen 2009 und 2014 weltweit große Erfolge; die beiden Alben verkauften sich alleine in den USA mehr als 800.000 Mal und bescherten den beiden vier (!) Grammys. Mit "Venus" erscheint nun am 26. Juni 2015 das erste Solo-Album von Joy Williams seit dem Ende von Civil Wars. Die erste Single "'Woman (Oh Mama)' handelt davon, die eigene Schönheit und die Stärke zu erleben, die man in seiner eigenen Haut erfährt. "Ich habe einmal ein Zitat gehört, das glaube ich ursprünglich von Eleanor Roosevelt stammt: ‚Eine Frau ist wie ein Teebeutel... man weiß vorher nie, wie stark sie ist, bis in heißes Wasser gerät. Als ich ‚Until The Levee' schrieb, fühlte ich mich, als würde ich in heißem Wasser umherschwimmen. Jeder fragte mich nach dem abrupten Ende von The Civil Wars, ich musste mich als frischgebackene Mutter an einem neuen Lebensrhythmus gewöhnen, ich kämpfte um meine Ehe, die einer Generalüberholung bedurfte und hatte mit der tödlichen Erkrankung meines Vaters klar zu kommen. Ich verspürte den Drang, in diesem ganzen Chaos eine neue Stabilität zu finden." Darum geht es auf diesem starken, emotionalen Erstling!

Was für ein Jahr für Kieza. Mit ihrer Single "Hideaway" hat sie in Deutschland auf Anhieb Gold erreicht und rund um den Globus die Charts erobert. Das Video wurde bereits über 110 Millionen Mal angeschaut. Am letzten Wochenende war Kieza mit ihrer neuen Single "Giant In My Heart" zu Gast bei "Schlag den Raab". Anfang September widmete das ZEITMagazin Kieza den Titel und eine 14-seitige Modestrecke. Jetzt folgen direkt weitere News von der Frau, über die die ganze Welt spricht: Im Oktober erscheint ihr Debütalbum Sound of a Woman. Der Albumtitel Sound of a Woman deutet es bereits an - Kieza präsentiert ihre vielen Facetten und kreiert ein kraftvolles, musikalisches Gesamtbild: Ob coole Dancefloor-Tracks, wie mit ihren Hitsingles unterstrichen, oder gefühlvolle Popsongs (u.a. das Neo-Soulige "So Deep"), die verdeutlichen, welche Kraft Kiezas grandiose Stimme hat. Sound of a Woman ist zweifellos eines der spannendsten Debüts des Jahres, denn wer Kieza einmal in Aktion erlebt hat, ahnt, ihr Sound, ihr Style und ihr Talent sind eine Mischung, der man sich einfach nicht entziehen kann.

London's Motek Music is back with 'All on Me' - a release loaded with a plethora of underground talent. The original and range of remixes allow something for all the dance floors over the House music scene.

Heading up the release with the original mix is Superlounge's collaboration with the highly in-demand Canadian singer Forrest. Superlounge have seen their productions grace labels such as Soulfooled, Supernature and Noir to name a few. Forrest's vocals have been used by many industry heavyweights as the 'icing on the cake', that final sublime finishing touch that sets one track apart from the rest. He's worked with the likes of Avatism, Eric Volta, Re.You, Shall Ocin, Tom Budden and many more. This original mix floats along with shimmering bell like textured synths and soft punchy percussion. Organ riffs and soft stabby finishes add depth and atmosphere to round off an elegant instrumental. Finally Forrest brings a beautiful ambiance to the track through his soft but very present vocal.

The remixers in this release need little introduction, starting with Eric Volta's 'We Discover The Light Within'. The man responsible for one of 2013 biggest records - 'Love Your Illusion' has once again expectedly done the unexpected. His take on the track is experimental, fresh and thought provoking, providing his signature twist to Superlounge's already impressive track. A little more driving than the original and with a broken beat flavour, this version offers a strong groove through a very wooden textured percussion section. Sitting on top of this flow open and closed cutoff synth keys parts that add movement throughout the track. Warm chords, to strong improvised solo parts give the track a mystical feel and a real sunset ambient vibe. Crystal like swirling string synth pads finish off this track, gliding across the production.

Up next is Maher Daniel's remix, the most up tempo and darkest of the pack. Deep Tech House in feel, this track powers along over a strong kick and conga/tom base, driving hats and ride cymbals. Holding the weight of the track is the constant dark bass pad on top of which the groove and vocal sit. Distant reverb FX elements and crowd style noise textures add depth and atmosphere to the mix creating space for the percussive xylophone style lead, arpeggiating over a track suited perfectly for the after hours.

Hands Free and Kosmas combine forces to bring us the final remix in this release with an intelligent piece of dance floor friendly music. As with the previous remixes, this delivers a smooth flowing ambient atmosphere whilst still creating a strong punch and groove through the percussion and bass, to captivate any dance floor. A bold echoing lead line drives the track above soft, warm pad textures including use of the vocal, edited to add air and space to the production. The final touches to this remix are in the subtle riffs and FX parts that come and go throughout, whether in the foreground or background, creating movement which subconsciously captivate.

Auf ihrem 13. Album gelingt der Queen of Pop ein Spagat, der schon im Vorfeld von etlichen Medien als Geniestreich gefeiert wurde: Madonna flirtet auf Rebel Heart mit zahlreichen Genres, bezieht auch die neusten Entwicklungen des Popgeschehens ein - und doch klingt das Album, mehr noch als die erfolgreichen Vorgänger, durch und durch nach Madonna. Rebel Heart erscheint in drei Ausführungen mit drei unterschiedlichen Cover-Designs.

Schon zum Jahreswechsel präsentierte die siebenfache Grammy-Gewinnerin mit - Living For Love einen ersten Vorgeschmack und verkürzte damit die Wartezeit auf den Nachfolger zu - MDNA , das 2012 die internationalen Charts dominiert hatte (UK: #1, US: #1, DE: #3, Goldstatus). Die New York Times stellte fest, dass sich Madonna schon mit dieser Single und den weiteren Vorab-Veröffentlichungen erneut als Innovatorin und - musical team leader bewiesen habe. Auch in den Charts stand ihr Name schon Monate vor der Veröffentlichung ganz oben: Nachdem Rebel Heart im Dezember 2014 zum Vorbestellen erhältlich war, schnellte das 13. Album in sage und schreibe 42 Ländern auf Platz eins der Charts, unter anderem auch in den USA.

Dass die von Diplo produzierte - Living For Love -Single, auf der Madonna ihre unverwechselbare Stimme über einem lässigen Teppich aus Pop und Deep-House präsentiert, jedoch nur eine von vielen Facetten von Rebel Heart zeigt, macht dieses Album so einzigartig: Im Verlauf ihres neuen Albums flirtet die Queen of Pop mit so unterschiedlichen Genres und Einflüssen wie House, Reggae, Dancehall, Trap, Dubstep und Electro-Pop. Verantwortlich hinter den Reglern sind neben Diplo auch Avicii, Kanye West, Carl Falk und der deutsche Producer Toby Gad, während zu den beteiligten Gast-Songschreibern und Vokalgästen auch Alicia Keys, Chance The Rapper und Mike Tyson (- Iconic ) und Nas (- Veni Vidi Vici ) zählen. Ein besonderes Highlight ist auch das mit Nicki Minaj aufgenommene Stück - Bitch I'm Madonna , laut Berliner Zeitung sogar das - tollste und mutigste Stück, das sie seit langem herausgebracht hat.

Nach ihren Auftritten bei den größten und wichtigsten Musikveranstaltungen der Welt - der Grammy-Verleihung in L.A. und der BRIT-Awards-Nacht in London -, erscheint dann ihr neues Album Rebel Heart in drei Konfigurationen als CD und Download - mit jeweils unterschiedlichem Cover-Artwork: Standard (14 Tracks), Deluxe (19 Tracks) sowie Super Deluxe mit vier weiteren Exklusiv-Songs und 2 Remixes. Die Vinyl-LP des 13. Madonna-Albums vereint 19 Tracks. Eingeschworene Fans können zudem unter rebelheartyourself ihr eigenes digitales Cover kreieren.

Mit weltweit über 350 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern ist Madonna die erfolgreichste Solokünstlerin aller Zeiten und bricht auch im vierten Jahrzehnt ihres musikalischen Schaffens alle Rekorde. Auch nach gut 30 Jahren im Business gilt sie als die ultimative Pop-Ikone, als wichtigste weibliche Inspirationsquelle für Generationen von Fans, Kollegen und Nachwuchskünstlern. Mit Rebel Heart erfindet sich die Sängerin aus Michigan nun schon zum 13. Mal neu und bahnt als - musical team leader (New York Times) den Weg in die Zukunft...

Stratford-raised Denai Moore signed to London independent label, Because Music (Metronomy, Little Dragon, Django Django...) and then Ben Drew was in touch; he'd heard a couple of Denai's songs and wanted to work with her on production, eventually producing The Lake EP in 2013 (he's since signed her to his publishing company.). A much vaunted solo spot on the BBC's Later... with Jools Holland followed, Denai commanding a grand piano under the studio spotlight. 'This girl's really special!' remarked a YouTube commenter days later. Special indeed. To discuss influences is to give very little indication of what route Denai was to take or indeed has ultimately taken. She's as passionate about the music of Joey Bada$$ and Tinashe as she is of Bon Iver, Kendrick Lamar, and Foals. Raury's music excites her, whilst James Vincent McMorrow contributed to a track on her 'I Swore' EP. Denai's cover of Band of Horses' 'Part One' was heard by the band and her version re-recorded by them. At the tail-end of last year, it came as little surprise that Denai's distinctive soul voice could be heard on SBTRKT's acclaimed 2014 album, on the track 'The Light', which she co-wrote with him. Denai recently completed a UK and European tour in support of and in collaboration with him. Fresh from those album sessions, the captivating 'I Swore EP' drew 2014 to a melodic close and gave a hint as to what's to come. Denai (aided solely by piano) performed a live session on Huw Stephens Radio 1 show at the tail end of the year, whilst the EP's title track was lauded as BBC Introducing Track of the Week on 1Xtra.

Vancouver DJ/producer (Homebreakin') kicks off his 7"-only label w/some synth-driven disco-funk propelled by the "Bom Bom Bom" chant. The flip is a hair more chill but still hooky, with a cinematic flair.

This Soft Machine makes his debut on Eskimo Recordings with a double-sided release including instrumentation from Dave Harrington of DARKSIDE contributing electric guitar, alluring vocals by Lorraine Nicholson for 'On & On' and Dan Whitford of Cut Copy fame, who helped record the synths.

"This Soft Machine is a band at heart. Recorded live at Linear Studios in Sydney in January 2015, everything you hear on the record was recorded by human hands, played by some of my oldest, dearest friends and some hired musicians." Tim Sullivan AKA This Soft Machine

Django Django's debut album came out in January 2012 on Because Music and was lavished with praise. It was 'updated psychedelia that beguiles and delights' (The Guardian), 'consistently mind-melting and often brilliant' (Q), 'bursting with ideas' (Pitchfork) and 'gloriously, unpredictably new' (Mojo). By December it had been shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and named one of the albums of the year by Rolling Stone and NME. They became known from their electric live performances full of energy, and went on to play memorable shows at festivals across the globe including as Glastonbury and Fuji Rock. Born Under Saturn is the work of a band fired up by confidence and experience and propelled way beyond their DIY roots. It has all of the imagination of their debut self-titled album but splashed across a larger canvas. 'Once we got into the studio it became obvious it would be a bigger-sounding record,' says bassist Jim Dixon. Recorded at Netil House in east London and Angelic Studios in Banbury, Born Under Saturn saw the song writing split four ways with Dave also producing the record. Lyrics often emerged naturally from the sound of the music. There are dark dramas like Found You, which draws on the myth of Faust's deal with the devil, and Shot Down, a bloody tale of crime and betrayal. Jim wrote the sighingly beautiful Beginning to Fade while contemplating writer's block and the atmospheric, synth-driven High Moon, says Dave, is about people who 'come alive at night". Born Under Saturn expands on the slippery, indefinable brilliance of the debut, finding magic in the unexplored spaces between different kinds of music, and never doing the same thing twice.

Jamaica's favorite US northern soul group, The Chilites, perform some smooth harmonies on an updated version of the 'Sleng Teng' rhythm produced by King Jammy's son, John John. Pad Anthony sings 'Caan Mek We Run Way' on another Jammys classic 'Jump Up' rhythm in his finest style.

Four years since they released Dring, Nôze are making a very welcome return to Circus Company with their fifth album Come With Us, and once again the pairing of Nicolas Sfintescu and Ezechiel Pailhes has yielded a collection of captivating and curious songs that could only come from the unique sound world they inhabit. As has been evident throughout their career from their early experimental house days through to the more recent song-based material for Get Physical, the Parisian duo have always moved on from album to album, maturing their sound to deliver a new experience for themselves and their listeners every time. On this occasion, Come With Us finds Nicolas and Ezechiel in a particularly introspective mood. Even as their work has naturally turned more to home-listening craft over the years, here they revel even more in personal reflection both musically and lyrically. Tracks such as 'Saint' conjure up the romanticism of dustbowl blues with its vagabond guitar tones (played by long time collaborator Thibault Frisoni), while Nicolas's voice reaches new distinctive heights in spellbinding tales like 'Apache". Emiliano Turi also lends a new sense of natural groove to the Nôze sound with his live drumming, and as ever, Nicolas and Ezechiel are keen to bring their friends into the fold for guest vocal spots.

No (THe reLATIVe eFFecT oF eXPLIcATIoN) is XIII's first album, artist close to the Gang. Modular synth sessions along with vocal samples, munky drums and delay jams create an obscure journey, suspended between a primitive analogue world and the depths of a cybernetic one. Pads and harmonious weavings somewhere in between Wanda Group and Robert Turman and Actress' style beats.

An introspective tale unties itself along 9 tracks, 3 of which are featuring with artists who have been important to the Gang's journey so far, Traag, Vaghe Stelle and Sabla, who help in delivering a whole picture of what the philosophy behind the label is.

Based between Turin and Berlin, XIII develops musical concepts and deals with performing arts. The (im)perfect sound, the (not) punctual distortion or the (un)suitable atmosphere, are constantly researched by XIII through modular synthesis, computer music and field recording, crossing beats and genres towards something not easily definable.

A moniker born in 2013 for the "A Great Symphony for Torino" project, in collaboration with Kode9, Scratch DVA and Clubtoclub. XIII is about to release his first debut album on Gang of Ducks in April 2015.

Big sounds, ethereal synthesised landscapes and fat bass, the sound of the Studio Rockers' New Year and it's going to be a big one. A mash-up of some Studio Rockers Heavyweights and some young bloods feature on this 15-Track compilation. Coming at you with a range of sounds from some of the finest production talent you've ever heard on the same compilation. Some strong tracks from Moody Boyz, Bunny on Acid, EVM128 and Marcel Lune also with some new names you'll definitely be hearing more of.

Starting off your journey with a guided introduction to the Studio Rockers' vibe for the new year from The Moody Boyz, a hot track with bass drops that just don't stop, already receiving big love from Tom Middleton and Joe Muggs with 'EAN' featuring on a Solid Steel mix.

Followed up by some more innovative world sounds from Nuphlo dropping an exclusive re-work of his single 'Nona', the Midlands based producer really showcases his ability refresh his approach and create new sounds.

'The Final Stage' is guaranteed to sound raw on any dancefloor, with an insane cacophony of bleeping and more bass than you'll know what to do with The Widdler continues to drop hard rhythms.

Bursting out of Karachi's budding electronic scene with clever rhythm juggling and serene vocal samples is Rudoh with his first UK release, 'Come To My Mind' recently gaining attention from VICE magazine over his Pakistan based label, Forever South.

'Locked' shows you with its unstoppable pulse and rich bass that Bunny on Acid is back and ready for a big year with Studio Rockers.

Dusk FM's resident DJ's Lyeform & Nomi release their first track with Studio Rockers, 'Get Lost', and it slips in with an ethereal soundscape cut short by a deep vocal before it goes into a tasty subby groove that keeps chugging along.

Then Marcel Lune stutters in sweeping and swimming sounds in 'Mungenden' until it concludes with some tantalising vocal sample play.

Popping straight out of the compilation at number 8 is a jumpy electronic number from Buckfunk 3000 pulsating drums and some synth wizardry, exactly what you need.

Next up a real banger from EVM128, a garage remix of his 'Naked Truth' single that gained a lot of radio support from Annie Mac and Monki on Radio 1 last year, now back with a remix. We know your going to feel it.

Straight in with some dark bass structures from Ollie Realness, another new name and sound to add to the Studio Rockers year, this warped, deep track gives a great contrast to some of the more ambient tracks on the compilation, truly showing the spectrum of current bass music.

Lewis Badwan is back after a big year with Studio Rockers slipping into his brooding, melodic 'Sea of Trees', the track hypnotises and swirls with swelling chords until it eventually crests and breaks with clever use of layered percussion.

Another return to Studio Rockers from Albert with 'Dripping The Who' coming hard with deep bass and a pounding four to the floor, a pumping track that'll keep you moving with some toasting-esque use of sampling.

Calming the vibe again some more new blood, Exposia creates interesting ambient textures with 'Hold Me Back' and then drops a tranquil female vocal that shows the contrast to the relaxed side of the Studio Rockers' New Year.

A glittery, shimmering track from another new name, Bhava is featuring the aptly named 'Shimmer' as the penultimate track for the compilation, tasty 808 sounds and such a gentle harmonic guitar part.

Rounding the compilation off with Smoke Signals' 'Let Go' with a massive bass and huge beat, innovatively orchestrated with beautiful reversed guitar sounds and an infectiously sweet vocal melody.

New names, some old Studio Rockers veterans and 15 fresh tracks are going to take you on a journey through the most exciting new bass music you're going to hear all year.

Are you ready









[I] 9 Naked Truth (Garage Remix) [feat. Daiva] - EVM128

Martin Garrix ist derzeit das heißeste Eisen, das die niederländische Elektroszene zu bieten hat. Kein Wunder also, dass selbst ein Superstar wie Usher auf den gerade einmal 18 Jahre alten Musiker aufmerksam wurde.
Heraus kam die brandneue Single "Don't Look Down", die noch so jedes hüftlahme Bein zum Tanzen bringen wird.
Martin Garrix konnte sich in seiner bislang noch relativ jungen Karriere mit Fleiß vom Underground-Geheimtipp bis in die oberen Gefilde der Produzententätigkeit hocharbeiten. Das "DJ Mag" wählte ihn 2014 auf den vierten Platz seiner Jahrescharts, was wiederum Aufmerksamkeit beim renommierten "Billboard" und der "Forbes"-Liste nach sich zog, die ihn jeweils auf die Jahreslisten hievte.

Mit seinem Song "Animals" gelang ihm 2014 weltweit der Durchbruch und die Single erreichte u.a. Platz 4 der deutschen Single Charts. Weltweit wurde "Animals" bis dato über 100 Millionen mal gestreamt.
