New CARDS & SITA collab, "Blue Automobile," is a chill, beachy indie-soul song with lush arrangements reminiscent of 70s era Philly Soul & Bossa Nova. Wah-wah guitar solos and orchestral sections weave in and out of the space between the vocals and the drums to create a dreamy atmosphere that leaves the listener feeling transported to whatever world they feel like going to in their mind.

“Одно из самых необычных и трогательных произведений, которые нам удалось услышать. Эта песня своеобразный авторский реквием, которая была написана Девидом за несколько месяцев до его кончины. To All Who’s Out There навсегда останется в наших сердцах.”
-Nagamag.com
After releasing his debut album “Pollywogs”
which he wrote and recorded with his twin brother David.
Titi Woo returns with a brand new song – a farewell song
that’s been written by his twin brother – David and was recorded
and musically produced by Ori Shlezinger in Newtone studios.
David knew that he was terminally ill and felt the need to farewell
and say his final words.
This song is dedicated to all the people who exist on planet earth and
therefore comes the name : “To All Who’s Out There”.
Furthermore, he asked from his twin brother Jody that the lyrics
from the first verse of the song would be engraved on his gravestone
and so it was.
The animation for the music video was created by Anastasia Miasnikova
as it brings to life the paintings David created while staying at the hospital
prior to his death.
This is his voice and those are his final words.
“Estella Dawn has a voice timbre, unique for its genre. Its modulation amazes and delights at the same time! Bright, transparent sound and beautiful melody complement each other.”
“Estella Dawn обладает уникальным для своего жанра тембром голоса. Его модуляция поражает и восхищает одновременно! Яркий, прозрачный звук и красивая мелодия дополняют друг друга.”
-Nagamag.com
With the first release of 2021 Estella is in a reflective mood. Like many of her previous releases she touches on the intricacies that most people face in their daily lives. This time it is about the complexities of a friendship where you feel that you became the support person for someone and, in hindsight, they were not as caring or supportive in return. Someone that you once defended tirelessly is now the one throwing jabs at you and it can be difficult not to want to retaliate.
The breakdown of a relationship whether it be platonic or romantic is a tough and turbulent time. Often fueled by both the emotional and irrational, there are so many moving parts and when you’re dealing with peoples core feelings, things can easily sour. As someone that has always been fascinated by diverse relationships and how they play such an integral role in the individual and collective human experience, Estella has now candidly touched on some of her own.
Simply put, Petty is about the breakdown of a friendship, knowing someone’s intimate secrets and wanting to use them in retaliation but ultimately realizing that you are better off moving on and being a better person for it.

“Producer du0 and Trenton, featuring vocals in their collaboration Shadows, is the perfect opportunity to sit back and relax with your favorite drink.”
“Дуэт продюсера du0 и Trenton, вокал которого звучит в их совместной работе Shadows, это прекрасная возможность откинуться на спинку вашего кресла и расслабиться наедине с любимым напитком.”
-Nagamag.com
Remember when 2020 stood for perfect vision? Now it stands for a time when our lives were turned upside down.
For Brisbane artist, du0, 2020 was more upside than down. His track, Come Home, hit a million plays on Spotify and revealed an emerging artist with his finger on the zeitgeist. The awards, accolades and a growing online fanbase have followed.
du0’s latest release, Shadows, a collaboration with alt-pop artist, Trenton, sees him hitting the groove once again. Like his name implies, du0’s new duo works beautifully. His signature infectious rhythms and whimsical melodies combine with Trenton’s moody vocals to provide reflective lyrical gems like “yesterday the future slipped away". And they take it from there, producing a confident, hopeful and uplifting start to 2021 that promises things will only get better from here – for all of us.

"LIMBO is about being stuck at a place where you just don't wanna be, being controlled and haunted. It can be a relationship, a workplace or in your own head” she continues.
NEIMY launched her career after her demo ‘I’ve Learned’ was discovered by The Chainsmokers. The song ended up as a soundtrack to the Italian movie ‘Succede.

“Dance Yourself Clean and Michael Medrano with the support of the Lights & Music Collective introduce us to the new work of Sugar, which has managed to create an interesting resonance in the soul of everyone who hears it again and again. Indie Electronic's melodic vocals and light beats are a cocktail for your mood!”

-Nagamag.com
Since 2013 Dance Yourself Clean had spent nearly every single weekend throwing parties across North America. With the pandemic the boys have turned their entire focus onto the party's transformation into a juggernaut music project. In the first full year since the project was created, 2020 brought in over 2.3 million streams on Spotify alone. With their new single "Sugar" set to release on NYE at 12am EST it looks like they're setting the scene for what may be a massive year of releases and collaborations. DYC had this to say about "Sugar", "Normally we'd be spending NYE with our friends and DYC family somewhere... Maybe Los Angeles at Teragram Ballroom or NYC at Baby's All Right. It kills us that we won't be able to be together this year celebrating. Setting "Sugar's" release date for midnight on the east coast and 9pm on the west coast is our way of being together with our DYC family across the nation. It may seem silly, but it means something to us and hopefully them too."

Carla Stark, born Carla Biset-Bentchikou, is 33 years old. With her Algerian-German mother and French father, Carla lived first in France, then in Vietnam and in India. The French-Algerian singer, Belgian at heart, now spends her time between Bombay, London and Belgium, where she settled 13 years ago. Proud of the many different sides of her personality, she describes herself as a chameleon.
Carla grew up listening to both Korn and Stevie Wonder. With the sound of her father’s saxophone in her ears, she was singing the lyrics to Claude Nougaro before she could even talk. As you understand it, music has been a part of her life since the beginning. For 16 years, she works hard on the piano, before leaving it and focusing on high school, that she finished in Vietnam. She then moves to Belgium where she studies at the Solvay Business School et gets a Master in Economics (by presenting a thesis on music therapy).
Just out of school, and after a few years of business experience, Carla feels like she doesn’t belong and decides to follow her heart and be an artist. She takes a few singing lessons, joins a theatre group, then integrates the Cours Florent, a theatre school in Brussels where she will study a few months before joining the Indian music “Beyond Bollywood”, where she will go from being in the production team to being on stage as an actor and a dancer, for the whole Europe tour of the show.
Carla Stark’s latest album “Karma” was a quest. A quest of love and a search to find herself again after a painful breakup. The singer comes back today with a new EP “C.”, sometimes inspired by her deceptions, sometimes by the optimism of her better life. Chameleon with multiple influences, the artist lives between Brussels, London and Mumbai and decides to sing her emotions in booth English and French.
