Music has always been a refuge for Lousid as it was his way of shutting the world off and getting lost in the music.
The name “Lousid” derives from the word “Lucid.” To be a lucid person means to have a clear understanding about a confusing event or events.
“During a time filled with confusion, I had no clue as to what I wanted to do or become. Certain life events hindered my progress but it was those events that gave me the motivational push I needed to turn my hobby into my profession.” says Lousid
Lousid has now released his second studio single ‘All Out’. “It’s simply about not holding back on the goals that I have set in stone. If the opportunity to get signed to a record label comes my way, then I shall go all out in the music business, continue the momentum and work on my career as an artist.”
Up and coming British rapper, Kdotbiz releases fresh hustle anthem.
Raw, rap bars straight from the heart, Kdotbiz has just put out his latest track and it’s nothing short of a certified banger. The feel-good hustle tune takes us through an exhilarating thrill ride through the world of grime and beyond. Brimming with smart lyricism and fast flows, the timeless track is the perfect soundtrack to all the grinders out there. The people who are working hard and want to achieve success.
The track was produced and mixed at the acclaimed Hot Money Studios by someone who’s worked with the likes of Stormzy Krept and Konan, Stefflon Don and more. The motivational anthem came about when the rapper was searching for beats online. He found one that really stood out to him and gave him lots of energy. From here it was history and he effortlessly started spitting on the track. The result is something astoundingly authentic and dripped in raw rap charisma. It’s simply oozing with originality as potent punchlines bring us through a dark gritty grime soundscape.
The young artist is originally from the Caribbean, though he moved to the UK when he was just six. When his mother was eighteen she met his father who had also moved from Jamaica and she gave birth to the rapper at the age of twenty one. His journey has not been without struggle. Faced with learning difficulties that soon turned into anger issues, he was quite the rebel in his youth. Often getting into trouble with the law and going in and out of prison. He decided to change his ways some years after having his son, with him noticing how dependent he was on him.
Inspired by the likes of Stormzy. J Cole and Dave, the rapper has been making music since he was around twelve. First starting out by memorizing the lyrics of his favourite songs and then soon spitting his feelings over beats. He’s gone from strength to strength and now having harnessed his hard signature sound, is well on his way to make a major mark on the global music game.

VDXi has released the latest single called ‘Vulnerable Rebellion’.
The song starts off with a beautiful female voice and synthesiser that sounds like they could take you on an amazing journey. The guitars kick in at around 45 seconds and as soon as they do, this song starts to rock. What follows is basically a 4-minute guitar solo with plenty of pinched harmonics and just the right amount of ‘shredding’. Towards the end the lovely vocals start again, this time accompanied by the rhythm guitar and the drums. The guitars and drums are definitely giving it a nice rock twist.
VDXi is a completely self-taught musician, using computer programming tricks and virtual instruments to communicate his stories through music. The artist has a wide range of musical styles and instrument emulations built into the music and this might not become obvious after you listen to just one song/composition, but it will become more apparent when you listen to more of them.

“‘Haze’ is about a low point where I was extremely sad. During the Pandemic, my living situation had turned toxic and I felt I had fallen into a deep hole I couldn’t get out of. Every day just felt like a constant struggle to do anything. I was sleeping 14 hours a day, having multiple panic attacks, and was feeling hopeless.

Record label boss, Don Crucifixto wasn’t bluffing when not long ago, he revealed his game plan of unveiling the first official female signee of his entertainment outfit.

Critics are already lining her up as the new queen of Afro-Fusion sounds. ‘Tiwa Savage take heed,’ is the words on their lips.
Dirty Diana began her career in music as an 18 year old who couldn’t even afford quality studio time and also funds to properly promote her music. However, her precocious talent, tenacity, and dedication was too obvious, and this gave her an edge over her contemporaries, consequently drawing the attention of Music company, Don Crucifixto. Diana’s time so far in the music scene is a microcosm of the artistes innate beliefs for as she loves to put it: “No matter what you go through. You have to believe in yourself and put the hard work in and make sure you are successful.”
Speaking about the artiste, Alethea Lewis, an executive of the entertainment outfit, said: “Expectations from Diana’s musical sojourn as the queen of Don Crucifixto Entertainment is nothing short of pure soul, quality R&B, sweet rap and more sounds she chooses to explore.

He formed the Phil Mitchell Band in 2004 and they have performed at a variety of venues whilst recording music in the studio.
Their new album, A Better World, consists of eleven tracks.
The second track ‘Never Let It Die’ is an euphoric rock anthem with an instantly memorable title hook, featuring a magnificent vocal performance and more killer lead guitar.
‘My Love Is True’ is a female sung pop track with a soul/RnB influence which keeps it sounding modern. Musically, it’s a blend of tight, funky guitars and overdriven Rhodes electric piano.
The title track is a James Taylor/Simon and Garfunkel style acoustic ballad with an intimate and heartfelt lead male vocal, counterpointed by female backing vocals. The arrangement gradually builds to a mid paced groove with some exotic instrumentation that gives real richness and variety to the sonic texture.
‘God Bless this Child’ features some strong vocals by Natasha Shayenne. The ninth track The World Is A Beautiful Place is a change of pace; a toe tapping funk pop track with Nile Rodgers-type slick guitar and some superb drumming. The second section has some adventurous chord changes that show the deep harmonic knowledge behind the songwriting, yet it still works simply as just a very catchy pop track.
This is a hugely eclectic and wide range of songs unified by the artistic vision of Phil Mitchell. The album runs the gamut of human emotions, all expressed through a constantly evolving mixture of genres and styles. The mixture of male and female vocals also adds to the variety.

Canada continues to change the game, first Drake, now with independent label Jet City Records’ debut album ‘City of the Jets.’
Music has long been praised by artists for saving them from the path they once walked and giving them an outlet through the tough moments in life. Independent record label Jet City Records, also known as Jet City is using their love of hip hop to touch the world. With the dark place the world is in due to the Covid pandemic, many have suffered, and many more are suffering. Jet City has chosen this time to debut their first album amid the crisis as a means to not only survive the lockdown but help the world navigate through it with their sound.
Jet city records is an indigenous/ Black-owned label from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada that began its journey in 2019. It’s artists and founder all share the same vision and purpose, to use music to better the world and reach those who need it most.
The label comprises of artists Loco 2k, Nucky Jmc, Big Ox, Rup Monsta and founder and ex-drug dealer Nigel Pahl, now known as Mic North. North is a testament to the power music has to spark change and find a way out of crime and poverty. Since his release from jail in 2011, music has continued to be his gateway from his past and the catalyst to a brighter positive future. With his life turning a new leaf, he has not only founded Jet City, but is an advocate for the youth with his youth-based workshop series ‘Maps Workshops.’
To date, Jet City has released a total of 21 music videos and their undeniable talent and genuine character has brought them a dedicated fanbase that continues to expand. Jet City has had its fair share of hardships throughout the pandemic not being able to perform and make the income they otherwise would, but their aim in hip-hop isn’t for wealth and fame, but to use their love of the genre to create songs that can help someone get through whatever storms they are enduring. To this end, they have also created their podcast ‘Hip Hop is Life’ to connect with their fans and be present through these trying times.
With the 13-track album making its arrival on January 1st, Jet City has released two singles, ‘Highs and Lows’ and ‘Moment.’ Each serve as a medicine to the world.

Nucky Jmc is currently enjoying the success of his number one hit ‘Forever’ on the Indigenous Music Countdown while Ag Souljah who is also an Indigenous artist is making moves creating his lane as a dope and talented artist.
The second single ‘Moment’ revolves around love and being the moment with a special someone. It features a smooth hook from Loco 2k, and a bridge of similar depth by Aye Michelle while Mic north and Rup Monsta does their thing on the verses.
City of the Jets shares production between elite producer/owner Rup Monsta who handles 80% of production, 19-year-old CCIV, and Peshawn kelly also from Winnipeg, Manitoba. This potent combination of talent gives the album a sound unique to Winnipeg, coining it as Boom Trap, boom-bap sample sound with trap style drums. Jet City is the face of hip-hop in Winnipeg and distinguishing the sound of their city from the competition.

It’s often hard to find a good, strong Gospel artist these days who is as abundantly talented and dedicated to her music as Phaze3.
Phaze3 is an up-and-coming artist who combines several genres, her focus being mainly on trap, rap, and of course Gospel. Having first discovered her passion for music while singing in the church chorus in her hometown, Phaze3 has kept her connection with the church strong, and you can clearly see that in her music.
Her latest release, the album so appropriately entitled “A Warrior’s Call” speaks of her faith, and of the strength and resoluteness that faith has brought with it. As a World Religious Leader and a spiritual healer, Phaze3 has seen a lot of what the world has to offer, both in good and bad and she deftly combines all her knowledge to put together this new masterful album of Gospel.
A vibrant and ecstatic display of faith and inner strength that beautifully brings Gospel into the 21st century. If you were under the mistaken impression that this was a genre abandoned in the past, you simply need to listen to “A Warrior’s Call” a couple of times to see that Gospel is alive and well.
“Cosign” is part musical call to arms, part sermon, no doubt inspired by the many group prayers that the artist has led over the years. It is an infectiously happy and positive song that rapidly gets into your bones and enthralls you.
“The Perils”, on the other hand, comes across as much softer while showcasing two different parts of Phaze3 – the soft, melodious Gospel tone, and the hardcore, street rapping style. These two come together beautifully to highlight the duality of humanity, and especially of this beautiful, wonderfully versatile artist.
“A Warrior’s Call” is an album you want to put on if you’re feeling down or stuck in a rut, and what truly astounds is that it’s just as meaningful an album to the agnostic listener as it is to a devout believer.

This is just another coup to add to his repertoire of songs which varies from chill to upbeat tracks; using instruments from all around the world.
Alaskan Rhino explains how this track came about.
“I was just working on a song with lyrics (the original Concentrate song I released) and really concentrating on the beats I was putting together for my song. I started playing around with the word concentrate and my beats. The next thing I know I had this awesome concentrate lyric/beat combo that I wanted to turn into its own song entirely. So I made Concentrate Extended Mix which focused on the beat more than lyrics.”

For entertainers these are words to live by. “Hannah Banana”, the latest single from Los Angeles based indie pop group The Sometimes Island, is a masterclass in the art of leaving the audience wanting more, the song contains a subtle elegance that can only truly be appreciated after many listens. And that shouldn’t be a problem because you are definitely going to put this one on repeat.
The Sometimes Island have long hung their hat on the synth pop style that lies at the heart of “Hannah Banana”. What distinguishes this song is its refusal to truly peak. The song rises and falls along peaks and troughs but never breaks out into a full on sprint. It is a track defined by its minimalist approach.
The bouncy synth lead line is the workhorse of the track, laying the groundwork for the remaining instrumentation. The kick drum maintains a simple four on the floor, grounding the song. Occasionally the drums open up, but even at their largest moment they don’t dominate sonically or spatially. The song is lyrically simplistic, the story of a confused lover not knowing what he wants until it is gone.
What stands out the most about this track are the vocal harmonies. The simple instrumentation of the arrangement leaves heaps of space for beautiful harmony lines. The vocals are the only part of the song that don’t willingly hold back. The vocal layering of band leader and singer Matt Blankenship Jr. is reminiscent of Brian Wilson’s arrangements in his Beach Boys heyday, a comparison not to be made or taken lightly.
The line between minimalist and lacking can be fine, but “Hannah Banana” finds itself squarely on the minimalist side. The single, which was released at the tail end of 2020, has left us all wanting more. The band promises to deliver with the release of their Pilot EP on March 17th. Looks like we’ll all be getting lucky on St. Patrick’s Day this year.

Louisville Rapper, B SIMM, releases a video to accompany the song, “Beyoncé’s Letter” which continues the call for Justice for Breonna Taylor.
After the murder of Breonna Taylor in March of 2020, Louisville-based rapper, B SIMM, wrote and released a song called Beyoncé’s Letter, reflecting on this tragic event and the ongoing fight for justice.
The title and lyrics of the song were inspired by the letter Beyoncé Knowles-Carter wrote to the Attorney General of Kentucky, calling for criminal charges against the officers, transparency in the officer’s criminal conduct, as well as an investigation of LMPD’s response to the murder and the root cause of violence against black lives.
Creative group, Dreamachine Collective, wrote and produced this video, working alongside local Louisville artists to create a visually stunning, emotionally impactful work of storytelling.
After dropping Beyoncé’s Letter in October 2020, B SIMM follows up with a striking music video utilizing theatrical storytelling to symbolize the constant struggle Black Americans experience dealing with systemic racism. The video takes viewers through a journey of B SIMM’s personal experience as a black man and father living in Louisville, and his frustration with the pervasive racism within the United States justice system. The rap breaks linger on a memorial for Breonna Taylor, creating a sacred space to honor her life, and mourn her tragic death. The video closes with a hopeful, explosively colorful scene illustrating how beautiful life could be with true equality, when Black Lives Matter.
The music video was released on all digital platforms at 12:41 AM on 1/1/2021, the exact time in which LMPD shot into Breonna’s apartment. This time and date has been chosen as a call to remember Breonna’s death and the injustices we must continue to fight in the new year.
In this video, B SIMM reflects on his feelings as a father of a black daughter (Haven Simmons), who debuts in the video. All food left over from set was donated to protestors at the Breonna’s Memorial Square in Louisville, KY. During the filming of this video, every member of the production crew took safety precautions to film this video using CDC and socially distant guidelines. The music video was shot in Goshen, KY at a farm warehouse building that runs strictly on solar power, keeping sustainability in mind when producing the video with naturally-sourced power, biodegradable glitter, recycling protocols, etc.
Joe$tarr is an upcoming artist From Queens, New York, who is relatively new to the music industry and entered the scene with his first song release “Look at the Bag” in 2019.

Two years later and Joe$tarr has dropped about 25 songs and has plenty more music in the stash; always working in the studio, perfecting his craft, and his fan base is just growing stronger and stronger with every release.
Joe$tarr will be collaborating with an upcoming Producer @BushBeats_ – this new partnership sees him switching it up from his usual style of trap beats to a more catchy and uptempo vibe.
“Joe$tarr shows that he can really hop on mostly any beat and still be himself on the song and it shows”. says Producer @BushBeats, “The name of the song is called “Paradise” and it is really something the fans will enjoy from the lyrics to the delivery”.
Conor Taggart & Victoria McClements originally began singing together at weddings as singing waiters, normally falling over with a tray of cutlery and bursting into song! What they didn’t know though, was that they would soon fall for each other. In late 2019, Conor and Victoria’s friendship grew into a loving relationship.
When Covid19 hit, Conor & Victoria isolated together in Victoria’s grandparents’ house and with the country in complete lockdown and a lot of time to kill, they began singing together. Taking original anthems and transforming them into duets, coming up with their own arrangements and harmonies and trying to make themselves different from the standard duo out there; it started to become something very special.
Initially, this was all in aid of the wonderful health service and key-workers who had been fighting the horrific battle of C19. Every Thursday night, Conor & Victoria would stand in the street and serenade the neighbours to show their appreciation for the amazing frontline workers saving lives. Within a few weeks of lockdown, their Thursday night show had become very popular and a few of their videos reached over 150,000 views. Not only were they delighted with the positive response but loved bringing a little bit of cheer to those at a very difficult time.
Fast forward 6 months and they have now released their own album ‘Out of the Darkness’, a music video, and are writing original material.
They are also currently taking wedding bookings and planning their theatre show. It’s safe to say the future is bright for Bello Duo and they can’t wait to share the journey with you all.
Make sure to check out their page Bello Duo on Facebook and @belloduovoices on Instagram and Twitter for more videos including ‘You Raise Me Up’, ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ and ‘The Prayer’.

Some of his earliest memories involved him performing, joining dance competitions, and moving around a lot. Around the age of 14 years, he began writing music and in High School, he became the drummer in a band called ‘Now or Never’. Music has always been a constant in his life.
Q’s write’s about “my light and dark experiences growing up and through traveling around the world. I consider my form of music to be genre-blending, using old and new forms of sound, from rock and roll to hip hop.”
When he is not writing music, he enjoys creating concept EP & album covers during his free time. He also helps other artists with their music, through SoundBetter, by writing and providing feedback on their music; mix and mastering; and taking their life stories and turning it into an audio novel.

“I’ll Be Up” is the newest single from Max M, featuring Chris Willis.
“I’ll Be Up” is the latest single from Max M, the multinational DJ and producer currently living and working in France. Featuring guest vocals from Chris Willis, “I’ll Be Up” is an upbeat synth-wave odyssey, layering emotional lyricism over driving beats and sparkling electro flourishes.
“I’ll Be Up” boasts the same infectious punch as Max M’s earlier work, combining the soaring heights of the anthemic “Never Wanna Leave” with the sizzling immersive atmosphere of “Under Water”. Max M’s latest single begins by letting the piano take centre stage, before building to a cooly understated pre-chorus with old-school groves but stylishly modern vocals. From there, the single forges a unique path between irresistible rhythms and earnest vulnerability, backed up by sugary synths that prime “I’ll Be Up” to be the summer of 2021’s hottest club track.
I’ll Be Up builds off of the theme of a broken romance and nobody is getting any rest until things are resolved. The lyrics seem somewhat introspective. Max M’s production is the cinematic recipe that gives these thoughts form by means of a varied drum pattern, moving bassline, fluctuating synth and electronic sounds. I’ll Be Up is a winning collaborative effort, good for the rhythmic gusto and lovers of an inventive gnosis.
Max M’s tracks Never Wanna Leave and Under Water ranked first and fifth on the American DJ site – Digital DJ Pool. As a man of many talents, including a professional career in computer science, Max M reentered the world of music at the age of 40 after establishing a career in technology.
By Small Ruin is an anagram for Bryan Mullis, keeping his music and lifestyle as true to self as possible. Busking since high school, he has made his way across the country playing to anyone who listened. His talent and dedication lead to sharing the stage with artists like DAWES, WILD and Briston Maroney.
As a teen, Bryan was notorious for doing what he wanted, when he wanted, including sneaking out of his parent’s house and hitch-hiking a 10-hour ride to Florida to surprise his girlfriend on the beach.
More recently, Bryan’s brother almost lost his life in a car accident. Dealing with those feelings inspired his musical journey that brought him unforetold adventures. He often tells the story of being attacked in a convenience store which “lead to a full-fledged movie-like fight that included knocking over shelves and throwing beer bottles. The store was destroyed.”
From waking up to SWAT teams thinking the band’s van was owned by a nearby active shooter, to unexpectedly playing a nudist pool party of 100+ people, BSR’s thrilling lifestyle is certainly rendered in their music and performance.
By Small Ruin has just released Rolling Thunder, which was inspired by Mullis’ spontaneous travels and adventurous experiences.
“This song is about a deep infatuation relationship I had where it was all encompassing – especially at the beginning. After a short time, I was convinced that I could not live without this girl. It’s scary when you get to that point – to realize how much power your partner has to make or break your world with their actions.”
Kalado has done it again with the release of “The Produck”, his newest project adding to his catalog of hits; produced by Urban Team and Kog Beats by K Swiss
Shot in some of the most exotic beach locations on the Northern side of Jamaica, the ladies can be seen seducing the audience’s eyes with their alluring presence and captivating dance moves, complimented by Kalado’s eargasm melodies, witty lyrics and unique style of delivery,
“This video is undoubtedly the most compelling and creative video I’ve released in a long while” says the artist.
Find Kalado on Spotify, Amazon, Deezer, Apple Music, Tidal, and iTunes.
Scottel makes music that touches the hearts of others, music with meaning and power.
“Everyone’s got a story and this is how I tell mine. It’s the one thing that can turn things around and make you feel better when the moods low. Music is the saviour of tomorrow.” adds the musician
He has just released his new track ‘Lockdown’ – which is quite relevant for the times.
Heart Eyed has just releases a new song called ‘Woke Up In’, produced by Falsecut under the alias Vinnythewizard. This single is part of an upcoming EP title ‘Savers’. Heart Eyed’s vocal delivery is a mix between Baby Smoove, Rio Da Yung OG, with hints of Curren$y and Drake flows mixed in, all while drugged out on whatever he’s taken that day. The result is a very dry, to the point attitude that almost forces you to agree with or think twice about whatever he is rapping about.
The beats are ridiculously hard-hitting, with an unforgivably heavy, yet bouncy 808 bass line, crisp and in your face drums, and a melancholy/spacious/orchestral melody to bring it all together. This somewhat confusing mixture is what makes Heart Eyed’s new singles from his upcoming EP, “Savers” sound rigid, one-of-a-kind, truthful, and painful when talking about the harsh realities of his own world and the world around us.
Heart Eyed is not the type to lie to his listener’s; he simply opens the door to a world potentially unfamiliar to those who haven’t struggled with drug addiction, a poor/broken family, and loyalty within your group (among many other topics, some of which seem to appear unrelated or distant). He plans to continue dropping more songs off the EP/Mixtape as singles exclusively on his own Youtube channel until the full product is complete and music video production can begin.
Heart eyed is from New Hampshire, has lived in and connected with many artists in Boston, and currently stays in Los Angeles as part of his plan to change the world for the better with his conscious effort and team of dedicated artists/individuals.
Returning with their second collaboration, ‘In My Head’ (Big Room Remix) – Dutch artist Nathassia join forces with D3FAI, one of Argentina’s hottest producers.
Following on from the success of ‘Change The World’, which had key support from Kiss FM and was playlisted on Club MTV & MTV Dance International, Clubland TV and reached the MTV UK Top 20. This time, building on their creative synergy – Nathassia and D3FAI return with ‘In My Head’ at centre stage.
Electronic music artist Federico Fragala aka D3FAI (Revealed/Spinnin’/Dim Mak/Outlaw) has been making a big name for himself in recent years, picking up support from the likes of Tiësto, Afrojack, David Guetta & Steve Aoki – releasing collaborations with Blasterjaxx and Deorro, as well as official remixes for Hardwell and Steve Aoki.
Nathassia (pronounced Natasha) being half Dutch & half Indian, emanates a mesmerising quality. Her vocal style, music and live performances bring together both eastern and western cultures in spellbinding style.
Having tasted initial global success as a featured artist, Nathassia has gone on to forge her own style & sound as an electronic music artist – with recent support from Blasterjaxx, Andi Durrant & BL3ND.
Quoted by DJ Mag as ‘A rare broken beat number’, along with T.H.E. Music Essentials as ‘An artist unlike any other’ – Nathassia’s tried, tested & winning formula of electronica – fused with elegantly crafted world music & an uplifting pop sensibility, continues firmly on trend.

Rock and Roll and turbulent relationships have gone hand in hand since the beginning of time. The origins of Blind Season are no different.
Beginning with a rag tag group only forming through the means of owning instruments, and an evening involving the smashing of a mutual friend’s car, Blind Season had undergone 5 different incarnations until Shane Sigro the founding guitarist was faced with the ultimate decision; between succumbing to normalcy or proving the previous members wrong. Choosing the latter, Sigro doubled down by taking vocal lessons and penning the new music that would breathe life into the new era of Blind Season.
Blind Season’s upcoming album is an ode to loneliness and toxicity that feel as if they were ripped from Billy Corgan’s Diary and featured in a film by Tim Burton.
With the current questionable climate of the world there’s no question that this album will find its proper home and become a sign of the times.
“This song was the last song written in the drunken, sad trilogy, and funny enough this song takes longer to play than it did to write. Music and lyrics came almost instantly and it was me accepting that I didn’t need that toxic situation and I was forcing myself to be happy, I was out of it. It’s a triumphant ending for this mini story within the album, and I thank the universe for this song.” says Sigro

Synth pop and Independent electro dance pioneers N2BLÜ return with a hot, warm and strong new single entitled ‘Phoenix Heart’.
‘Phoenix Heart’ delivers a strong personal message of strength and resilience through hard times and pain.
We asked Jonathan Arceneaux what the song was about and he said ”
‘Phoenix Heart’ is a very personal song for me. I’ve always identified with the legend of the Phoenix in that I have had to start over many times in my life, picking myself up from the proverbial “ashes” and move forward to the next chapter. It takes an incredible amount of strength and will to keep going after we’ve been knocked down in this life and we all have to have a Phoenix Heart to survive it. This song is dedicated to all of those who don’t give up and don’t quit, no matter what.
Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions.
He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter.
He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene.
The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
Lucky Packet are an Alternative Rock band based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Lucky Packet produce a unique and eclectic blend of alternative rock with a soulful edge.

The beautiful single ‘It’s Alright’ is taken off the debut album from ‘Lucky Packet’ entitled ‘Ancient History’. The melodic Soul meets Rock band Lucky Packet consists of Katlego, Yuri and Brendan.
‘Ancient History’ is a full length album from ‘Lucky Packet’ that was produced and mixed by band member ‘Brendan Peacock’.

While the days are getting cooler and darker, so does the new single of the Two Brothers.
“So Cold” is the name of the new hot track that takes the listener right into the heat. It’s a kind of the cold and darker answer to their previous single “Looking For You”.
Of course, you’ll find all the Martin Brothers ingredients like the glittering synth-sounds, the spheric retro pads paired with a sing along chorus. But this time they added a touch of R&B to get the catchy groove constantly going. It’s one of those tracks that really capture the vibe of a big city night and mystical romance.
Imagine you drive with your car through the neon streets of Los Angeles, Bangkok and so on or walking down the stairs to an underground club, well So Cold will definitely bring you right into that mood.
Of course, it wouldn’t be the Martin Brothers, if they didn’t also capture this feeling in a music video. Be sure not to miss that nightshift on YouTube, while they are heading right into the heart of downtown Los Angeles at midnight.
Coquito is a song dedicated to the Puerto Rican drink that Latino families enjoy every holiday season. The record is fun, lively and intoxicating just like the drink Coquito!
It gets you in the holiday spirit as soon as the dembow hits! Sleigh bells ring and people cheer, setting the stage for Latin Billboard charting singer songwriter Natalis, to chill you with her captivating melodies.
Immediately after, to heat things up, the bass line kicks in and rides on a warm tropical reggaeton beat by Rockoranything founder and producer Alvin Anthony.
There’s a fun, warm, romantic element to this tune never heard in a Christmas song before. Right before the chorus kicks in, I’m ready to book a one way ticket to Puerto Rico as Natalis says, “Vente conmigo pa’ Puerto Rico!!!”
There’s absolutely no time for the holiday blues now that we’ve got Coquito available for stream everywhere!

Introducing The Small Town. A garage rock project fronted and founded by Chris Bianchi.
What started off as a muse for creating during the quarantine only a few months ago, has turned into a new outlet that is quickly gaining momentum! Hailing from Mantua, Ohio, a small farming village right in between Cleveland and Akron.
The debut EP titled “Let’s Blackout” features three exciting tracks. Kicking off with the dancy “Can’t Stay Awake” leading into “Let’s Blackout” a more foot tapping rock n blues style. Lastly, “Ticket To Ride” hits short and to the point with a repeating catchy chorus that gets stuck in your head.
When asked about The Small Town, Bianchi had this to say “The Small Town project was a long time coming for me personally. The name is derived from literally where I live and am from. There’s nothing here. I’ve gone through a lot of changes, especially, over the past year and this really inspired just laying down what I felt at the exact moment in time. No second guessing. It was so freeing to do so at least on this debut effort.”
You can discover a standalone song as well online with “Grey Day’s and Darker Nights” that has a very garage rock early white stripes feel.
There’s plenty more to come from this exciting project.
Former metal singer Hudson Henry is a producer and DJ who creates melodic electronic music with bombastic drums. After debuting with “Feathers” in 2016, he began releasing more guest-heavy feature tracks. His songs have appeared on Raver Magazine and Liam Hemsworth’s Legend Video.
Hudson has amassed over 450,000 streams on “The Last Time,” featuring Lisa Cimorelli. In 2019 we were featured on the official “Fresh Friday” playlist, which was absolutely incredible. Hudson came up with a unique way to market his song “The Last Time.” He offered fans something called a “digital gift pack.” When fans would pre-order the song, they would receive a digital booklet that thanked each fan for their support. The digital book included lyrics from the song, the official artwork, and exclusive content fans could enjoy while flipping through each page.
This was a personal and unique way fans could connect with Hudson Henry and Lisa Cimorelli. The song itself has a heavy future bass drop along with a beautifully crafted vocal melody. This has been Hudson’s most popular song yet.
What are your influences ?
“My influences include Kygo, Illenium, Aphex Twin, and Diplo“
What’s coming up in 2021 for ‘Hudson Henry’ ?
In 2021 Hudson will be releasing a new song titled “Feed Your Fire.” The song will feature Hudson on vocals along with a new music video. The song is highly energetic with an inspirational undertone. Hudson also publicly indicated that he would jump back into the hard rock/metal scene by singing for a side project. We are excited to see what he has in store for fans in 2021.
Tell us about your background getting to where you are today?
We both grew up in South East London, Thamesmead to be exact. We met each other in school and we’ve been best mates since year 7, grew together over the past ten years, being in the same group of boys etc.
Where are you from?
South East London, Thamesmead
When did you start music?
We Started music in January/February 2020 early on in the year. We were writing a lot before releasing our first song and then we started properly posting ourselves out on socials in June 2020.
How did you get into music?
It was at the beginning of the year, DBE had dropped three tapes in 2019, M Huncho had also just dropped another tape, Nafe was also getting more recognition and we looked at each other and thought, why not? We both love music, love the sound they create, we’d rather be making music than doing a job for the rest of our lives we don’t enjoy, so what do we have to lose? We’ve both loved music for a long time, in particular rap/trap wave.
What is the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?
We’ve both had to overcome similar challenging issues throughout our lives. Losing loved ones, losing people you thought you’d always be close with because they broke the trust you had, back stabbers, fake friends with fake loyalty, mental health issues etc.
Are you currently signed or independent?
Independent
Who inspires you the most musically?
Both our inspirations are similar in some ways, more diverse in others. For example, both look up to the likes of M Huncho, Nafe Smallz, DBE. Individually, Atrip found himself connecting with artists such as JuiceWrld and Rinzo listened to lots of Lil Wayne just to name one each as there’s far too many!
What do you want people to take away after listening to your music?
We want people to take positive and wavy/creative vibes from our music but also the reality that life is tough. You do have pain and tough times, but you will always get through them and be stronger.
Any new music coming out soon?
Yes! Lots! The next single we will be releasing is called Sprite towards the end of November but over the next 2 months leading into the new year, people can expect to see at least 4 new singles.
What is your greatest achievement as a musician?
Our greatest achievement as musicians is just getting into the booth and writing and producing our first song putting it out to people. It can be hard to find the courage to step into the booth for the first time but with the right mentality and people working with us we did it with ease.
Do you produce your own music? If not who do you work with?
We produce our music by finding beats we both like on YouTube and then working with different producers that way. We enjoy reaching out to new producers and finding different sounds that other producers offer.
Who is one artist you wish you could work with?
Picking one is very tough.
If it had to be one Rinzo would love to work with M Huncho, hearing what people say, he’s a really genuine guy, fun to be around and the studio would have incredible vibes. Atrip would love to work with Nafe Smallz, for similar reasons above, plus, he’s met him once already!
Tell us about any new music you have coming out? When is coming out? What is it about?
Sprite is coming out this November. Sprite is a fun song we expect people to play at max volume and have a good time to. Throughout the song there’s mentions of all of the challenging issues we mentioned above. Trust issues, some elements of drug abuse, mental health, other elements of us having fun and enjoying yourself so yeah, quite a mixed bag to say the least. We just met one day and wrote what we felt at the time.
What does a day inside your shoes look like?
Day in the life of OCR is wake up, vibe out, link up and then browse beats, write bars and work on perfecting our music. We spend a lot of time chilling in the car writing, studio and our yards.

London-based artist Prinz Leo released his new single The More You Give featuring the Portuguese singer Ola Ruth on Friday, 27th November 2020.
Danceable rhythms and sing-along melodies meets the spirits from the 80s. Produced by Camelle Hinds (best known from the UK funk band Central Line) and mixed by Nick Hunt (Depeche Mode), this song keeps what it promises.
https://youtu.be/g2Nfn0N6dfI
Prinz Leo was talking the inspiration for this song in an interview “When I moved from Austria to London I first lived in in Peckham (South London). I often saw Josh, a homeless man without legs, in his wheelchair. He always smiled at people wishing them a great day instead of begging for money. I sometimes gave him some coins. One day, I was busking in Peckham, Josh came over to listen and watch my performance and threw money in my guitar case. This event was so touching and a very powerful life lesson: The More You Give The More You Get (I’m talking about the kind of giving where you don’t expect anything in return).”
The song was written by Leonhard Wimmer (Prinz Leo), co-written by Robert Bridges and Martina Randes, produced by Camelle Hinds(Central Line), mixed by Nick Hunt (Depeche Mode) and mastered by Marcellus Frank.

Fresh off her last collaboration with Indian Trap, Ta$te It, Katrina is hoping her new single will have the same impact as her last. Ta$te It debuted to high streaming numbers for a debut release, with over half a million streams across platforms.
In addition, Ta$te It has received Radio support from The Heat 100.9, where it is currently spinning daily. Two Times is available on all streaming platforms.
‘Blind Season’ are an alternative rock band formed by Shane Sigro. The new single from ‘Blind Season‘ is entitled ‘The Dark Bedroom’.
How was the writing and recording process ?
“It’s a tricky song to write in terms of tempo, but after a couple re writes I love how this song turned out”
‘The Dark Bedroom’ represents a schizophrenic feeling that can be hard to pin point at times. Feeling trapped within yourself and just not leaving your room for days on end.
Rock and Roll and turbulent relationships have gone hand in hand since the beginning of time. The origins of Blind Season are no different. Beginning with a rag tag group only forming through the means of owning instruments, and an evening involving the smashing of a mutual friend’s car.
Blind Season had undergone 5 different incarnations until Shane Sigro the founding guitarist was faced with the ultimate decision between succumbing to normalcy or proving the previous members wrong.
Choosing the latter, Sigro doubled down by taking vocal lessons and penning the new music that would breathe life into the new era of Blind Season.
Blind Season’s upcoming album is an ode to loneliness and toxicity that feel as if they were ripped from Billy Corgan’s Diary and featured in a film by Tim Burton.

Tell us about your background getting to where you are today?
I have a degree in animation but then I discovered music production and audio engineering and gravitated towards it in my mid twenties. My journey has taken me to living and training in the Caribbean, starting off as a studio assistant and then working up to being a producer and engineer. After 4 years abroad, I’m no residing back in the UK running a studio and also Lecturing at the Academy of Contemporary Music teaching music production and audio engineering.
Where are you from?
I was born in England, my mother is from Trinidad and my dad is from Mauritius.
When did you start music?
I have always been into music, that transformed into DJ-ing in my teens, but it was just a hobby. After obtaining my BA in Animation thats when I started to get into music production and I started taking it seriously.
How did you get into music?
After graduating with my degree in animation I was doing a freelance Job in Brixton. It was in a complex that housed many offices and studio spaces. A lot of then were occupied by creatives, from filmakers, dancers, music studio producers. I was at this job for like 8 months and got to know some of the music studio owners and one day I asked if I can have a dabble for a few hours. I instantly fell in love with it and the rest is history.
What is the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?
Being creative can be tough for anyone, I already had a degree and was very good at what I was doing with art and animation so for me it was uprooting myself to follow my dream and start all again to learn something different.
Are you currently signed or independent?
I am an independent however I have a management deal with 1 2 One Entertainment.
Who inspires you the most musically?
Tough question, but I think Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and producer Quincy Jones.
What do you want people to take away after listening to your music
That they have not just heard something I have done or something I have contributed towards, but they have experienced something about who I am.
Any new music coming out soon
Yes! Working very closely with Krishane (son of the Reggae legend Barrington Levy). We have something we have been working on few things now for a while, things will drop as and when its ready, so watch this space, its happening soon!
What is your greatest achievement as a musician?
When I started teaching students at a degree level. I’ve not been formally trained in music, so I always had a self belief that I couldn’t teach it. Its very touching when some of these kids are so eager to learn from you.
Do you produce your own music? If not who do you work with?
Yes, pretty much all of my music is created and mixed by me. I have worked and collaborated with other producers, I think more now than ever collaboration is important.
Who is one artist you wish you could work with?
Ok someone who is no longer with us: Michael Jackson, I think doing a record with him will not just be the creation of something memorable, but I believe I would have been pushed and taken away some valuable lessons about music and life. The other person(s) would be the Marley brothers especially Jr. Gong and Stephen.
Tell us about any new music you have coming out? When is coming out? What is it about?
I have a record with Krishane called Lockdown that has been in development for a while now.
What does a day inside your shoes look like?
Always a cup of tea to start the day, after it all depends on if I’m teaching or not. If I’m teaching all day, I will very rarely end up in the studio in the evening unless its a must. I’ve started to value my down time as much as my time creating, that balance is important. If I’m not teaching, it all depends how I feel, I might make some music, or finish off any pending mixes, but if I’m not doing any of those things I dedicate time to learn new things about what I’m doing within music and audio engineering, this industry moves very fast and I think that its important to always be a student to your craft.
Anything else you want the audience to know about you?
When I’m not in the studio I really enjoy cooking.

N2BLÜ POP HISTORY
Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
Nigerian native and UK-based singer/songwriter SweetCorn releases “Nobody Fine Pass You”. The nostalgic afrobeat sound, produced by BeatbySV and written by SweetCorn, tells a story of a relationship filled with love, appreciation and fulfilment.
A great addition to the growing sounds of the afrobeat sub-genre, Altè, SweetCorn croons ‘Mama eh I’m in love oh, Papa eh I’ve found a wife oh, cos nobody fine pass you”.
The single also falls in line with the release of his 12-track debut album, “Ikenna”, featuring music released this year with additional productions by SFR Beats and Jiffthegeneral.
Fitzsimon and Brogan were both members of the band, Pretty Blue Gun, who were signed to an indie label licensed to Sony. They released two albums which were critically acclaimed. Some of the guest musicians included members of The Art of Noise, Dave Bronze (Eric Clapton’s bass player), Tobias Boshell (Moody Blues) and Pip Williams who played guitar on the Walker Brothers’ track, ‘No Regrets’. The albums were produced by Pat Collier, who produced Katrina and the Waves’ international hit, ‘Walking on Sunshine’. The band went on national tours across the UK until disbanding.
Neil Fitzsimon, the songwriter, and Bee Brogan, the vocalist, then went on to form a song writing/production partnership that led to placement of their songs in Film and TV. They also wrote a musical, Jack Dagger, which was showcased at the Greenwich Theatre, London for the Musical Futures Award. It was also showcased at the Bridewell and the Royal College of Music in London. They have also just had a song placed in a USA Sci Fi Feature film. They recently had a track reach number 3 in a French national download chart. Their single, Girl in a Gilded Cage, reached number one on the iTunes chart in Belgium for all genres.
All songs are written by Neil Fitzsimon. Vocals, keyboards, drums and engineering by Bee Brogan. All guitars played by Neil Fitzsimon. All mixed by Pat Collier at Perryvale Studios, London.
Fitzsimon and Brogan see themselves as a studio act much in the vein of Tin Tin Out and Talk Talk. Their influences range from The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Jimmy Webb, Jacques Brel, The Smiths and David Bowie. Their aim is to produce pure pop for now people.
They are honoured now to be working with one of their heroes, David Bowie’s drummer from The Spiders from Mars, Woody Woodmansey. Previous to this they worked with Elvis Costello’s drummer, Pete Thomas. These new tracks are on their newest album, This Wicked Pantomime which is to be released soon.
FITZSIMON AND BROGAN
Every once in a while, we like to push the boundaries of the scope of the pop music we release. FaB (Fitzsimon and Brogan) are one such example. In the 90’s, Neil Fitzsimon and Bee Brogan were both members of the band Pretty Blue Gun who were signed to Cavell Records, an indie label licensed to Sony.
They released two critically-acclaimed albums. After PBG split, the couple went on to form a song writing/production partnership that led to placement of their songs in film and TV. All the songs on this specially-priced 2CD “This Wicked Pantomime” (Disc 2 consists of 11 previously unreleased tracks) are written by Neil who also plays all of the guitars. Vocals, keyboards, drums and engineering is by Bee.
Bee’s a vocal phenomenon with a unique range. At times, she can sound like Peter Perrett of The Only Ones, and at others, like a sultry Marianne Faithfull. David Bowie’s drummer from The Spiders from Mars, Woody Woodmansey and Elvis Costello’s drummer, Pete Thomas both guest on the record.
The record was mixed by Pat Collier (of The Vibrators).
What are the Press saying ?
“Manhattan’s avant garde would be proud of them.” – Pete Thomas
“They have a unique and refreshing approach to their music especially at a time when so many things being produced seem to sound the same.” – Woody Woodmansey
“Their goal is pretty clear and they deliver with tremendous musicianship and melodies that stay in your head from the get-go.” – MusicExistence.com
“When Fitzsimon’s brilliant arrangements, witty lyrics, beautifully whimsical melodies, and Brogan’s perfectly coy vocal deliveries come together against a backdrop of shimmering keys, jangling guitars, and bewitching backup harmonies, something magical happens.” – Jamsphere Magazine
“Anchored in pop, FaB incorporate a great deal of styles into the sound ranging from Glam Rock to Psychedelic Rock. By far the heart and soul comes from their poetic lyricism which is delivered with a fiery passion that recalls David Bowie’s most playful and theatrical work.” – BeachSloth.com To our ears, FaB have created a swaggeringly fun record that cultivates some of the most beloved traits of pop music and yields a product that is not only easy to relate to but is stylistically different from anything else that’s on the market today.
These days, it’s rare enough to find an artist you truly love, be it an actor, musician or director.
It’s even more rare, however, to find one who is naturally skilled in all three sectors and manages to produce a delightful result every single time. That’s right, in this article, we’re talking about American artist Shani, a talented singer, and songwriter, as well as a gifted performer, director, producer, and actress. At first glance, it seems there’s truly nothing Shani can’t do (and do well, at that!).
The Los Angeles-based artist has penned multiple award-winning tracks, such as “El Llamar de Pasión – Call of the Wild” in the movie “Crash”, and “Rise” from the soundtrack for “American Wrestler”, which she performed with fellow musician Andy. As an actress, her credits include the Jack Black movie “Crossworlds”, as well as numerous TV appearances. And in between all this work in the arts sector, she’s still managed to put her seemingly interminably energy behind numerous charities and causes, using her voice to shine a light on the less fortunate.
Now, Shani returns to the music world with her latest release, entitled simply “Changing Tides”, a track recorded in quarantine, by the looks of it, yet not made any less great by it. Quite the contrary, in fact, since it seems that “Changing Tides” is rapidly gathering critical acclaim, despite being on the market for only a couple of weeks. The powerful melody that carries the piece resonates with even the most reluctant of listeners, and Shani’s sweet, yet emotion-charged voice lends a seductive feel to the whole tune. Accompanied by a tasteful arrangement of guitar, bass, sax, and keyboard, Shani creates an instant winner with “Changing Tides” and captures the listener’s attention.
At the risk of sounding cheesy, “Changing Tides” manages to inspire, in a world that desperately needs something good right now. And seeing that something can still be made in 2020’s nightmare-ish setting really gives one hope that things can and will return to normal.
And that’s no small feat, so do yourself a favour, if you haven’t already, and check out Shani’s “Changing Tides”.
It’s a well-known presumption that an aspect repeated twice becomes a citation of boredom as it’s a kind of phenomenon that thrives in the human nature.
But for the artist we are illuminating today, repeating her songs over and over again is nothing but a permanent serenity for audience around the globe as her music has the unravelling capability of stirring the sentiments of people admitting them to enjoy every tone and relish it every time it is heeded. Who’s this amazing artist? It is none other than Award winning Canadian singer –songwriter-recording artist

Miami-based electro-funk duo Afrobeta will debut the music video for their new song, “Chancletazo,” a Spanish-language track, and lead single off their upcoming album, Illusion Motel. Directed by Miami native Biagio Musacchia, the video plays out like a quirky short film. In it, a young teenage boy is plagued by the chancletazo, which for the uninitiated–is a verb meaning “to smack with a chancleta, i.e., a flip flop sandal”.
Despite not speaking Spanish, director Biagio says of the song, “It lends itself to the magic of the chancleta I always heard about growing up. Stories of chancletas swerving around corners and navigating hallways to precision strikes.” Magical realism weaves itself throughout the video as the boy is visited at nightfall by the Rat King, who promises to lead him to a curandera, or witch, who can put a spell on his mother’s chancletas, rendering their striking force useless. Along the way, he meets a synth wizard who provides a map to the witch’s lair. The boy follows the map tracing his way through local Miami haunts until he finally reaches a tent in the woods for a fateful meeting with the witch.
Afrobeta has been tearing up dance floors in their hometown since 2006. Formed by lyricist/vocalist Cuci Amador and synth-centric producer/arranger Smurphio, their mutual love of catchy songwriting, Cuban pastries, and dancing til’ 5 AM, is what initially inspired them to make music together.
They’ve toured internationally, performing at some of the largest music festivals and venues in the world including Glastonbury, Space Ibiza, Burning Man, Ultra Music Festival editions in Miami, South Korea and Brazil, Camp Bisco, and Identity Festival.
Their fourth full-length album, the self-produced Illusion Motel, is set to be released in November on their imprint, Pubic Zirconia.
