(Spotify)

“An interesting text and manner of execution, elegant arrangement in the alt pop genre and a very mental atmosphere. The soft sound of the instruments captivates, and the voice -jack west- adds a little lyrics in the climax. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Интересный текст и манера исполнения, изящная аранжировка в жанре Alt Pop и очень душевная атмосфера. Мягкое звучание инструментов очаровывает, а голос -Jack West- добавляет немного лирики в кульминационные моменты.”

This song is about growing up in a small town as young teen artist emerging into the scene. It talks about things from being broke to grinding my way to the top despite what my peers and other people around me think. I wrote ands produced this song in my bedroom in the town that I live in, giving off a feeling of wanting to escape the past. But knowing the only way to do that is to keep my head up and to keep grinding no matter what people think.

“When you finally lost touch with the world and was left alone with you, this music will help to find a way out of this situation. She seems to speak with you – relax, throw out all the garbage from the house, renew the wardrobe and just go out into the street to breathe fresh air. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Когда ты окончательно потерял связь с миром и остался один на один с собой, то эта музыка поможет найти выход из сложившейся ситуации. Она словно говорит с тобой — расслабься, выкинь весь мусор из дома, обнови гардероб и просто выйди на улицу подышать свежим воздухом.”

Johnny Simon not only composed and produced everything himself, but also played all the instruments – from electric bass and guitar to piano, blues harp and trumpet. Having toured half the world as a sideman, JS’s desire for something of his own has grown steadily. The result is available now and he speaks his very own musical language.

Oliver Nelson – Long Summer Nights feat. Lilla Vargen
(Video)

“There is no place for analysis or endless search for additional meaning in words, such music should be felt with all your soul and heart. Everything else in your head will draw music, and it is incredible here is good. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Здесь нет места анализу или бесконечным поискам дополнительного смысла в словах, такую музыку нужно ощущать всей душой и сердцем. Всё остальное в вашей голове нарисует музыка, а она здесь невероятна хороша.”

-Nagamag.com

The super talented Swedish songsmith joins forces with Belfast-based Lilla, combining uplifting vocals with nostalgic electro pop vibes and feel-good musicality from end to end.

Released 27th May on Perfect Havoc

Press release for immediate release.

Multi-million streaming Swedish producer Oliver Nelson returns in emphatic fashion with new single ‘Long Summer Nights’ released on 27th May in joint partnership on Perfect Havoc – the chart-topping label that discovered and broke Joel Corry – and acclaimed artist management company, music publisher, and record label, Prolifica. In collaboration with Nelson on this latest release is the incredibly talented Irish singer/songwriter, Lilla Vargen, together creating the perfect soundtrack to warm, summer days and chromatic late-evening sunsets. Stream it here: https://perfecthavoc.lnk.to/longsummernights

Instantly emotive, ‘Long Summer Nights’ kicks straight into Vargen’s gripping vocal topline whilst gliding through a passionate progression of piano keys and delicate rhythm before upping the energy with an ensemble of electro-tinged synths and powerful ‘80s inspired cinematic drum work. Whether on a crowded dancefloor or cruising into the horizon with the top down, this latest addition to the Perfect Havoc catalogue will strike a chord and linger in the memory all summer long.

Oliver Nelson first burst onto the scene with a series of high-profile nu disco remixes before Polydor snapped up his debut single ‘Found Your Love’ in 2016. Now with over 400 million global streams to his name, Nelson is the brains behind high profile remixes for NEIKED, Ella Henderson, Kesha, Joel Corry and many more. His infectious bootleg of The Wombats ‘Greek Tragedy’ unexpectedly went viral on TikTok in 2021, featuring in over 430,000 videos and culminating in an official release on 14th Floor Music.

Nelson is a master in the studio, evident in collaborations with Kygo on ‘Riding Shotgun’ (Sony) and on big house productions on the label that discovered him, Perfect Havoc, including standouts, ‘Is It Real?’ and ‘Something ‘Bout The Music’. Ever pushing the envelope, last year Nelson launched electro-pop group Moodshift, alongside Grammy-winner, Lucas Nord, and vocalist, flyckt, and remains in demand as a remixer too with a huge official rework for Donna Summer turning heads last June.

Having accumulated 50 million streams and completed a huge arena tour as guest to Dermot Kennedy, Lilla Vargen is one of Ireland’s fastest rising new talents. She has regularly collaborated with the MyRiot production duo whose credits include London Grammar and Halsey. Having so far released fewer than a dozen tracks, Lilla has already achieved seven Top 15 New Music Friday features with Spotify plus numerous key playlists at Apple Music. Radio is rapidly gaining traction too, with Radio 1 airplay from Phil Taggart, Huw Stephens and Best New Pop alongside support from Radio X and Ireland’s RTÉ 1 and 2.

Perfect Havoc – Best Independent Record Label nominee at the 2022 Music Week Awards – is one of the most successful indie dance labels of recent years. Its trademark commercial dance with a smattering of the more club-focused sounds has generated the label over 3 billion streams and given rise to six UK Top 20 singles including the No.1 single ‘Head & Heart’ by four-time Brit Award nominated producer, Joel Corry & MNEK.

Also knowing more than a thing or two about hit singles is the partnering label on this release. Prolifica was formed in 2004 as both the management and dance label behind such artists as Robert Miles, Spiller, Planet Funk and Dimitri from Paris. It’s since transitioned into a multi-artist award winning company behind such as established global arena artists as Two Door Cinema Club.

ELCEE – Lost Boy
(Spotify)

“Electro POP in combination with the voice -elce- sounds very harmonious and quite whole. This is a very rare, therefore valuable approach to creating music, when the vocal component and melody create an ideal sound picture for a full perception. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Electro Pop в сочетании с голосом -ELCEE- звучит весьма гармонично и достаточно цельно. Это очень редкий, оттого и ценный подход к созданию музыки, когда вокальная составляющая и мелодия создают идеальную звуковую картину для полноценного восприятия.”

-Nagamag.com

Electro indie-pop artist ELCEE unveils her sophomore EP Cataclysmic Love, a collection of tracks that listen like an intimate journal of songwriter Laura Charman's inner thoughts and feelings.

Her soundscape of dreamy lo-fi indie goodness is interwoven with evocative electro and elements of 90's pop and RnB, making Cataclysmic Love completely contemporary; a plush and luxurious listening experience for lovers of the genre.

Recorded at Parachute Studios and produced by Abigail Knudson, the idea behind the EP was to serve up danceable tracks, while also allowing space for pondering what's hidden underneath the surface through both the lyrics and the instrumentation itself.

"Cataclysmic Love finds its home in the early hours of the morning... when it's 2am and you're the last person on the bus, ready to be alone and unravel your tangled thoughts.

"This EP is for the night owls, the people who journal under streetlights, candle enthusiasts and lo-fi dancers with glitter remnants from the night before." - ELCEE

The lead single from her EP, 'Lost Boy', is an ode to relationship limbo, and a complete embodiment of her charm and talent for melody and poetry. Unrequited infatuation has long been the catalyst for a great pop song, but here ELCEE manages to capture the exact feeling of being unable to capture someone's aloof attention.

On the live side, Tessa kept eager fans engaged with the launch of an exclusive livestream event – ‘Bad Ideas: The Experience’ – which took place in May 2021 as a final celebration of Bad Ideas.

Les Cooper – Anyone
(Spotify)

“A fabulous, slightly mystical symphonic intro slowly fraught on his palms, like an ice cube, when a voice -es cooper- is replacing him. Its timbre can be compared with a cup of hot tea, which melts the hearts of its listeners. Rhythm comes from the middle of the track - and real miracles begin here. You realize this as soon as you listen to the track from beginning to end. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Сказочное, немного мистическое симфоническое интро медленно таит на ладонях, словно кубик льда, когда ему на смену приходит голос -Les Cooper-. Его тембр можно сравнить с чашкой горячего чая, которая растопляет сердца своих слушателей. С середины трека вступает ритм - и здесь начинаются настоящие чудеса. Вы осознаете это, как только послушаете трек от начала до конца.”

-Nagamag.com

On his debut solo album, Noise, Toronto-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Les Cooper is stepping out on his own with eight tracks that delve deep into his sonic toolbox, exploring the worlds of electronic rock and dream laden pop.

Noise includes the sweeping and pensive “Anyone,” which features lush string arrangements written by Cooper. The track reflects on an individual perpetuating a cycle of harmful behaviour while navigating relationships.

For over two decades, Les Cooper has been regarded as one of Canada’s leading music producers, earning JUNO Awards for his work with The Good Lovelies, and further JUNO nominations for albums he produced for Jill Barber and Madison Violet.

With Noise, Cooper has finally allowed himself to push the envelope with all of his creative faculties. After laying down basic tracks with some of Canada’s most in-demand session musicians, Cooper describes his process as reassembling them almost like Lego pieces until, in most cases, the final songs were unrecognizable from the original takes.

Against this shape-shifting musical backdrop highlighted by Cooper’s skill with electronic treatments and string arrangements, the effect of listening to Noise can be both soothing and unsettling, depending on one’s state of mind.

Joe Hicks – One More Step
(Spotify)

“The new track -joe hicks - demonstrates an outrageous level of information! This is a professional work, the content of which is aimed at a leading position in your own top 10! Pure, practical crystal sound and vocals of the performer, together with an excellent arrangement. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Новый трек -Joe Hicks- демонстрирует запредельный уровень сведения! Это профессиональная работа, контент которой нацелен на лидирующую позицию в вашем собственном топ-10! Чистый, практический кристальный звук и вокал исполнителя, в совокупности с отличной аранжировкой.”

-Nagamag.com

With 3 million Spotify streams rising singer-songwriter Joe Hicks shares double A Side ‘One More Step / Make It Home’ – the second instalment from his upcoming debut album out later this year.

Initially when Joe started writing new music back in 2020, he was intending to release another EP, but with some persistent encouragement from Sam Winfield (Amber Run, Fickle Friends, Robin Trower, Only Sun), he soon gave into the challenge of writing his first full-length album, despite how daunting the commitment felt.

The follow-up to the assured, ‘Mirror Mirror,’ this double release is the second glimpse into Joe Hicks’ forthcoming debut album, set to release later this year. Both tracks showcase Joe’s glistening craft despite their contrasting qualities, outlining his effortless knack for songwriting and artistry. ‘One More Step’ is the pinnacle of an earworm, fully equipped with a driving bass and palatable cadences a plenty. “Lyrically it’s born out of frustration at not being able to do much over the past couple of years,” says Joe. “Combined with the inherent uncertainty of the career I’ve chosen to pursue…” With ‘Make It Home’ Joe embraces a deeper sense of compassion with a nostalgia-drenched backdrop, and the track’s affluence of lyrical consolation. “Make It Home became a song for a loved one to say, no matter where chasing my dream takes me, no matter how busy or far away I am, I’ll always be there for you.”

Raised in the rural market town of Newbury; Joe Hicks blends pop, blues and folk influences, combining intricate guitar composition with classic pop song-craft. Having made a name for himself as a session guitarist, Hicks released his first solo single at the start of 2017. Soon after he was made 'BBC Introducing Artist of the Week’, receiving extensive radio play across the U.K and also a CLASH’ Track of the Day’ feature. Since then he’s built up a sizable online following (3million Spotify Streams) helped on by extensive support from BBC Introducing and touring the UK and Europe, including appearances at CarFest, The Big Feastival, Are You Listening? Festival, Pub in the Park, over 30 Sofar Sounds shows and slots supporting Sam Fender, James Walsh and Starsailor.
