Sean Dampte, Nizzy, Buju – PePe – Remix
(Spotify)

“Strong and worthy work that accurately reflects the whole essence of the WORLD MUSIC & AFRO-FUSION genres. Saturated positive energy music that fills our life with bright, rainbow paints! In this music atmosphere you wake up full and immerse yourself in the song, literally like been in endless ocean!”

“Сильная и достойная работа, которая максимально точно отражает всю суть жанров World Music & Afro-fusion. Насыщенная позитивной энергией музыка, которая наполняет нашу жизнь яркими, радужными красками! В этой атмосфере вы позабудете обо всём и с лёгкостью утоните в песне, словно в бездонном океане!”

-Nagamag.com

On the back of his massive global music collaboration with fellow UK-based afrofusion artist Nizzy and Nigerian rising star Buju, which is being championed by the likes of Flaunt Magazine, 9Bills, Niji Magazine, iMULLAR and PAM Magazine, UK-based afropop and afrofusion artist SEAN DAMPTE returns with his highly anticipated third EP BABA WON on October 15. This new project is the third instalment in his ‘Awoodah’ EP series, which started back in 2018 with his debut EP The Awoodah Begins and continued last year with the Man Like Sean Dampte EP.

Produced by JayOcean, with additional production from Jomane and TushBeats, the 5-track Baba Won EP opens with the already popular lead single ‘Pepe (Remix)’ before going into the infectious afrobeats offering ‘Allow Me’ featuring SeyiVibez, and the slow-burning love song ‘Oji Mo’. The EP winds down with ‘Choke Oh’, which sees Sean Dampte opining about relationships that are only driven by money, and the introspective ‘Agbada’, over which the Nigerian-born artist shares his story of perseverance and how far he has come to reach where he is now.

Speaking about the inspiration behind his Baba Won EP, Sean Dampte says, “with this ‘Baba Won – Awoodah’ EP, I felt it was time to fully begin to express the enigma behind the artist that is Sean Dampte and what is behind the music itself. ‘Baba Won’ aims to showcase the different elements to my music without losing its African heritage and background. The EP was inspired mostly by the need to show how far the brand ‘Awoodah’ and I have come since 2018, and to serve as a prelude to my debut album, which is going to be released in 2022”.

Championed by the likes of MTV, BET, TRACE and Apple Music, and more recently by Flaunt Magazine, iMULLAR and PAM Magazine, while also having shared the stage with afrobeats royalty such as D’Banj, Wizkid, Davido and Wande Coal, Sean Dampte has been foundational and a staple fixture in the rise of afrobeats music in the UK, and is revered for his stellar fusion sound of afrobeats, dancehall and pop music, which has amassed over four million plays along the way. His highly anticipated new EP Baba Won – Awoodah is out now on October 15.

Båd – Oktober
(Spotify)

“"Oktober" is the matching piece to leave behind Summer and welcome Autumn. According to the Classical music spirit, the artist combines chords from two instruments. Now is your chance to realize the great affection of this amazing result.”

-Nagamag.com

Oktober' is the piano- and cellodriven lead single from the new Copenhagen-based classical/dreamjazz-project Båd's forthcoming debutalbum 'Oktober Vipper Bladene Af Træerne'.

Behind Båd is Jeppe Dengsø, composer-student at Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen.

”'Oktober' is my humble declaration of love to Autumn and the nostalgic sensation it contains. Sad but hopeful, bittersweet and intangible. I hope it can act as a soundtrack for people's Autumn; that they'll listen to it on a rainy Autumn-walk through the city or forest” – Jeppe Dengsø

Anton Kling
Interview

.


Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?

Anton Kling:
Melodic, Organic, Progressive, Minimal with a lofi touch


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Anton Kling:
I started in a music program called E-jay when I was 8 years old, then when I was 12 I started making music in fl-studio and when I was 16 I started in Ableton live where I create music these days. I have been making music since I was very young but I started to take it more seriously in the last 6 years.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Anton Kling:
I don't remember the first connection with music because there has always been music played at my house when I was young. I remember when my dad showed me Kraftwerk for the first time and I was in awe. But the biggest thing has to be when I discovered Daft Punk at a very you age. I sat on our computer in the early days of the internet and found their music and that just changed everything. I just couldn't stop listening to them, all they did was so new and interesting for my ears. I guess that was when I truly fell in love with electronic music.


Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?

Anton Kling:
Red Hot Chilipeppers "Californication"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?

Anton Kling:
Extrawelt Zu Fuss

Josephine Philip – The Clue (Spotify)

Josephine Philip – The Clue
(Spotify)

“Taken from Josephine's forthcoming album, this single has some Cinematic touch. A slightly melancholic story of love unfolds from the lyrics and the delicate singer's voice matches perfectly with the chilling background patterns.”

-Nagamag.com

The Clue is a contemporary love song. It revolves around impossible love and the acceptance of it.

The track is also an homage to Nina Simone’s version of Billie Holiday’s song Don’t Explain.

Don’t Explain was written by Holliday in response to one of her husband’s affairs. When he tried to explain away why lipstick was on his collar, Simone responded disgustingly “Take a bath, man; don’t explain”.”

Philip’s The Clue is an inspirational tribute to the great women, their sound, storytelling and courage, that took to the microphone and stage before her - a driven, vulnerable, poetic and empowering track.

ÜUCE, Arttu Silvast – sea / boat / water
(Spotify)

“Where the sea meets an altar and waves embrace the crystal cathedrals is where this takes place. A romance with sound of synths and strings telling the tale. ”

-Nagamag.com

https://www.arttusilvast.com/seaboatwater

'sea / boat / water' is the first single that’s flourished from a collaboration between two neo-classical composers; ÜUCE (USA) and Arttu Silvast (FIN).

The project started to come together after the two musicians found each other through shared digital spaces and started exchanging musical ideas online. It turned out that they both had a similar taste in music, sounds, and textures.

I grew up spending my summers in the sand on the east coast of the USA. Naturally while there, I had life-giving experiences, fell in love with the ocean, and fell in love with the women who ended up becoming my wife. As the years moved on and I finally got to enjoy the sea with my son, a melody broke onto the shore in front of us. After sharing the concept with Arttu, he thoughtfully observed the notes to find the meaning for me… not to mention expand profoundly on it. - ÜUCE

I’m originally from a very small seaside town in Southern Finland and the sea has always made me feel at home and offered an endless source of inspiration. ‘sea / boat / water’ came together as ÜUCE sent me one of his piano ideas that I started to build on. Turned out that we have a very similar taste in aesthetics and music but also, we are both fascinated by the sea. - Arttu Silvast

PINEO & LOEB, FUEG, Ellie Sax – Good Vibe Feeling
(Spotify)

“High energy from the start with a good tempo sprinkled with a talented lyricists rhyme. Evidently created to make you feel good and so groovy. Jazzy house with quality sax solos. ”

-Nagamag.com

https://pineoandloeb.fanlink.to/GVF

PINEO & LOEB team up with NY-based hip-hop artist FUEG and UK saxophonist Ellie Sax for their newest release, "Good Vibe Feeling," a genre-bending track that is sure to be the star of any night out. With an infectious sax top-line, smooth hip-hop vocals, and a groovy instrumental, these talented artists bring the elements that create a literal good vibe no matter the occasion. Sampling Canadian disco artist Estiban, PINEO & LOEB reach into the past to find the future which creates appeal for a wide variety of listeners, setting the stage for "Good Vibe Feeling" to become this fall's party time anthem. If there were any doubt as to its danceability, check out the video of 70-year-old dancing queen Andrea Bolley, aka the 6Mom jamming to the track in the streets of LA. The track perfectly represents the sound of PINEO & LOEB's earlier releases, which got support from BBC Radio 1, and Virgin Radio and led them to remixing for the likes of Grouplove and Olivia O'Brien.

If it weren't for a schedule mix-up, Canadian duo PINEO & LOEB might never have joined forces. The two artists were booked for the same show, but both were left to play with only 1 time slot available. Instead of duking it out for the single slot, they decided to do a back-to-back set and haven't looked back since. Some of their most popular original releases include "Daydreaming," "Circles," and "Body Right." Hip hop extraordinaire FUEG makes up one-half of the duo 4AM and has been diligently honing his craft since 2015. His most recent release "The Vibe" with Fresh Mode via Sony Music has clocked over 5M streams on Spotify to date. On the other hand we have Hed Kandi artist and Nikki Beach resident Ellie Sax, who has been captivating clubs and festivals around the world with her saxophone performances. Her 2020 hit single "Scatman" which samples the 1995 dance hit of the same name, has amassed over 7M streams and she has played alongside and worked with artists such as Artful Dodger, Stonebridge, Karen Harding, and more.

Egle Petrosiute – Bird’s Notes
(Spotify)

“Jazz improvisation and a set of live instruments are specially affected by their listener and thereby creating a significant shade of a good mood. Very strong, quality of the material, original execution that you can listen with great warm interest.”

“Свойственная джазу импровизация и комплект живых инструментов особым образом воздействуют на своего слушателя и тем самым создавая весомый оттенок хорошего настроения. Очень крепкая, ровное по качеству материала и оригинальное исполнение, которое слушаешь с большим интересом.”

https://www.instagram.com/egle.petrosiute/

BIRD'S NOTES features Kiko Freitas, voted Best Drummer 2019 by Modern Drummer Magazine, Dutch treasure pianist Hans Vroomans and Brazilian bass virtuoso Matheus Nicolaiewsky.

It's a composition of E.Petrosiute produced with her husband and ultimate partner in music, M. Nicolaiewsky about becoming free in art and, subsequently, in life, learning to fly through it.

'Very good singing, beautiful voice, great pitch! I love the harmony, rhythm and dynamics of this track!" - Rosa Passos, renowned Brazilian singer

"...From the evocative opening to the crystal-clear vocals, the number is beautifully structured and includes a devilish bass solo amongst the dramatic delivery..." - Sammy Stein, jazz journalist

Courtney Cotter King – Big Strong Man
(Spotify)

“Euphoria. This is one of those sensations, where moments in our lives are closely intertwined with music - for the sake of it worth living. The combination of the genre of Bossa Nova and velvet vocals create a perfectly special, at the level of the subconscious, real magic sound atmosphere.”

“Эйфория. Это одно из тех ощущений, те самые минуты в нашей жизни, которые тесно переплетены с музыкой — ради этого стоило и стоит жить. Сочетание жанра Bossa Nova и бархатного вокала создают совершенно особенную, на уровне подсознания, настоящую магию звука.”

-Nagamag.com

Big Strong Man is a playful tribute to masculinity creating a lovely backdrop for femininity. “Light as a feather, when we’re together” is how she feels against his “gentle giant, nice grizzly bear” frame. Syncopated percussion, flirty echos and horns resembling early Fiona Apple, set the scene for Courtney’s vocal personality to come through in this jazzy number. Ultimately written for her tall, handsome husband; Courtney hopes it can boost a lot of guys out there and promote brands that serve the individual strengths of women and men.

Paula Jivén – What Are You Hungry For?
(Spotify)

“The minimalist of the sound, in which, every sound element in its place, the Dream Pop rhythm section fascinates with its airy atmosphere, and the vocals take off our solar system. The sound is very high quality, and the main thing is the positive and correct atmosphere, which in the aggregate is awakening exclusively positive emotions!”

“Минималистичность звучания, в котором каждый звуковой элемент на своём месте, ритм-секция Dream Pop очаровывает своей воздушностью, а вокал уносит за пределы нашей солнечной системы. Звук очень качественный, а главное позитивная и правильная атмосфера, что в совокупности пробуждает исключительно положительные эмоции!”

-Nagamag.com

Paula Jivén makes spellbindingly original pop music, each song sparked from her radiant imagination. At just 17-years-old, she’s already cultivated a truly singular voice as an artist, one that defies all expectations in favor of following her most playful and daring instincts. With a self-described mission of “disrupting the comfortable and comforting the disrupted”, Jivén is set to deliver a debut body of work revealing her supreme gifts as a storyteller and the tremendous power of her captivating voice. October 1st saw the release of her debut single “What Are You Hungry For?”.

Paula Jivén about the track:

“WAYHF? is a song about self-sabotage and self-doubt, but also covering growth and self-love. I wrote it to a close friend who was going through a personal crisis. I wanted to bring comfort and love to her distress, give her a sense of peace but also reflect on the big questions, if you see what I mean? That's where the question comes in. What Are You Hungry For? What brings meaning and joy, and - you name it - to your life? That's the question that I want to ask you. Because I want to know! <3"https://twitter.com/PaulaJiven
