Walker dropped his first single “Conflicted” at the end of 2018. Since then, his music has been featured on 92.5 The River, as well as Spotify’s “Fresh Finds”, “Fresh Finds Pop”, “New Music Friday Indonesia”, and “Fresh Finds Indonesia” playlists. His latest single “My Letter”, a collaboration with Redbull 3 Style World Champion Eskei83, was released on 10/1/21, and is his most streamed song to date.

Walker produces, writes and records his music in bedroom-turned home studio. He draws inspiration for his lyrics from his own personal experiences. Musically, walker’s catchy melodies lean more commercial pop, while his beats and harmonies get inspired by many different genres and time periods.

Walker grew up on Monahan Farm, a family-run fruit and vegetable farm in the small town of East Kingston, NH. He started playing the piano at the age of 5, by performing melodies he had heard on the radio by ear.

In August of 2021, Walker drove from his farm in NH down to Times Square NYC to direct and star in his first music video for his song “Ring Ring” (Release date: 2.4.21). Walker was in charge of everything for the shoot, from writing the storyboard, to booking hotel rooms and limos to film in, to editing the footage together and adding special effects, to funding it with money made from his live shows.

Walker played 127 shows in 2021, and has played over 400 shows since 2018

“High-quality R&B, beautifully combined with the artists’ vocal performance. Dynamic arrangement and professional mixing highlights this track, making it unique and unforgettable by all means.”

Phe R.E.D.S makes his return with new single, “Closer,” featuring fellow Seattle artist Catch24. Released today via H1GHR MUSIC, the R&B number captures the push and pull of a budding relationship. Written to mirror a conversation, “Closer” is the mix of emotions that comes with feeling out a crush and deciding where things stand. While Phe R.E.D.S offers the perspective of someone who is cautious and guarded after previous heartbreak and disappointment, Catch24 voices taking that leap of faith. The track is produced by label mate and close collaborator Cha Cha Malone and it is the teaser to a larger Phe R.E.D.S’ project release that’s in the pipeline for later this year.

Leng Phe, who goes by the stage name of Phe R.E.D.S, is a Cambodian-Chinese American music artist. He is signed to H1GHR MUSIC, an unconventional independent record label that focuses on unique talents from Seoul and Seattle. Discovered by founder Jay Park through Seattle’s local hip hop and break dancing scene, Phe R.E.D.S initially got into music because he didn’t see many who looked like him making music. His name, which is a combination of his surname and an acronym for “remember every dream stolen,” pays homage to his family, who were refugees from Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge. It serves as a reminder to discover one’s dreams and live them out for those who didn’t make it, in addition to striving to break generational curses. “I think I’m unique in the sense that I’m Cambodian-Chinese, signed to a Korean label, and pushing my music in America,” he shared. Since his debut with the single, “Smile,” in 2017, Phe R.E.D.S has released a string of records, including “Love On You” (Prod. GRAY), “Your Hands” (Feat. Jay Park) (Prod. GRAY), “Way 2 You” (Prod. Cha Cha Malone), “ Juice” (Feat. Hoody) (Prod. Mokyo) and “Senseless” (Feat. pH-1) (Prod. WOOGIE). After contributing to H1GHR MUSIC’s critically acclaimed label compilation album, [H1GHR : BLUE TAPE], with his single, “Swing My Way,” Phe R.E.D.S has taken time off during Covid to focus on personal wellness. In between spending time with family and friends, he has been pursuing his other lifelong dream, pilot training. Invigorated, he said “Closer” makes for a strong return. “It’s like I’ve lived a little bit of life and I can take this experience and put it into a sonic medium for people to listen to,” Phe R.E.D.S said. The single marks a new chapter and leads up to a larger project, to be released later this year. Stay tuned for more news from Phe R.E.D.S.

Ian Abel – Right Hand Man
(Spotify)

“Breaking the ordinary sound boundaries, Ian Abel targets on plenty of humour and unpredictable riffs on Hyperpop. Escape from the typical music and cheer up with the funny lyrics of this fresh release.”

-Nagamag.com

Keep your pants on, because Ian Abel’s newest single “Right Hand Man” dropped on Feb 10th, 2022 and it’s the quirky, gay hyperpop smash the world needs right now.

“Right Hand Man” is a cheery, taunting pop tune, with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, punchy synths, and an infectious earworm of a chorus. It’s naughty, effervescent and fun, all in one.

“Imagine you’re getting a drink at a sunny gay resort and you spot a cute stranger flirting with your man,” says Abel. “Then imagine you don’t even care: that’s what this song is about.”

“Right Hand Man” is accompanied by a low-concept music video following a big juicy butt as it walks around the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City, bouncing from bar to bar, meeting up with friends, and even getting some light fondling action.

“These days I think we can also use entertainment that lightens the mood and doesn’t take itself too seriously,” says Abel. “I certainly don’t.”

https://ianabelmusic.com/

Ian Abel (pronounced “able”) is, at the bottom of it all, a queer comic book nerd with a heart of gold. With an oh-so-smooth velvety voice and sensual, psychedelic electro-pop arrangements, he’s like if Sam Smith met Robyn or Jessie Ware met James Blake, all with a side of Peter Gabriel. He’s not just your standard indie voice.

https://twitter.com/ianabelmusic

For well over a decade, Ian has been an artist and performer. He has performed around the world and with greats like Nile Rodgers, Jimmy Fallon, and the SNL band. He has sung onstage at Carnegie Hall, on Chinese national television, and in festivals in Sun Valley, New York, and Edinburgh. Currently, Ian resides in New York City, where he hopes to get back to performing live soon.

https://www.facebook.com/ianabelmusic/

He released his debut EP “Icarus” in 2016, and his songs and videos have been featured on Howl & Echoes, Wolf In a Suit, Clout, Indietronica, Milk Crater, Mystic Sons, and Spotify’s Fresh Finds.

Avalon Skies – Skógr (Revisited)
(Spotify)

“Antti Pihlajaniemi unfolds his artistry and delivers his magic soundscapes for a real music experience. Focusing on Cinematic style, he keeps bpm at lower level and gradually builds a complex masterpiece via addition of multiple electronic layers. "Skogr" really exceeded our expectations!”

-Nagamag.com

It's mysterious and powerful track. Feels like a ritual. Cinematic tribal-style drums and organic instruments gives the track very earthly vibe yet the electronic sounds gives an interesting twist. One listener said that this could be straight from the Christopher Nolan's movie.

Per QX – Change Of Mind – Radio Edit
(Spotify)

“You can't easily resist in this funky beat, followed by a kind of disco essense. "Per QX" hit the target of Old School House and welcome you to their nostalgic trip. The edit version of "Change Of Mind" is quite short, but not less addictive.”

GIVVEN – Losing Colours
(Spotify)

“"Givven" present their fresh single, balancing between Downtempo and Commercial sound. The artists have done great work on vocals and this can be spotted directly. 3D effects, unpredictable sound shifting and a slight taste of acoustic instrumentation, increase the whole production level.”

Downtempo pop trio GIVVEN's single, 'Losing Colours', out today via Bias Beach Records.

https://lnk.to/GIVVEN-LosingColours

International trio GIVVEN has released their latest single, ‘Losing Colours’ on the 10th of February. The single is the title track for their upcoming audiovisual EP which will be released on the 24th of March via Bias Beach Records. The EP will feature three unique songs with music videos shot in the beautiful landscapes of Iceland, the first of which, ‘Taking On Water’, was already released and accompanied by a gloomy blue-tinted video. One-third of the trio is Adrian Held, part of the renowned Klangkarussell duo. GIVVEN released their hit debut single, ‘Ghostkeeper’ with Klangkarussell in early 2020 which has reached over 6,6 million views to date, followed by several more singles which would collect over 50 million plays across platforms with support across a wide variety of international publications and radio stations.

The trio is comprised of Adrian Held who is from Austria and based in Berlin, Germany, Jordan Haller who is also from Austria and currently based in Toronto, Canada and Nikodem Milewski who is from Poland and based in Vienna. Nikodem Milewski is also responsible for mixing and mastering the EP and has previously worked with the likes of Robin Schulz and Gryffin, amongst others.

In the early stages of the GIVVEN project, the band used the likes of Jai Paul for inspiration however, more recently they’ve begun to also turn to the works of Bon Iver and James Blake. In turn, their own texturally rich sound will find itself at home next to the laidback likes of Chet Faker, Son Lux and James Blake.

The trio take lush textures and paint them against a backdrop of grief, finding ways to layer the metaphorically monochromatic grey emotion against a rolling bassline and vocal echoing remnants. Acoustic elements lend a gentle tone while the spacey, soaring choruses convey the raw pain found within the lyrics.

Speaking of the single, GIVVEN tell us: "We're incredibly proud of ‘Losing Colours’. From the writing to production, it all took months to dial in and get perfect but we think you can really feel the time and love we put into this one when you listen to the track. Every little detail in lyrics and melody and sound design was meticulously thought out and dialled in. For the vocal production, I was inspired by a song called "Stories" by "Refs" and how they automated the formant shifting of their vocals in the second verse. I thought that was such a cool way to play with vocal delivery so I took the concept and built on it a little and brought that to the verses of ‘Losing Colours’ to give the vocals a new way to twist and turn and kind of keep the listener off-balance."

Losing Colours EP Tracklist:

1. Taking On Water

2. Losing Colours

3. Doubts

Remi Goode – Fairytale Embrace
(Spotify)

“Plenitive vocals from a parallel universe, special vibrations of acoustic music and fabulous embrace from "Remi Goode". Relaxing result, which can soothe your soul and heal every wound. It definitely and unconditionally goes to your sound collection!”

“Пленительный вокал из параллельной вселенной, внеземные вибрации акустической музыки и сказочные объятия -Remi Goode-. Музыка для релакса, успокаивающая душу и залечивающая любые раны. Однозначно и безоговорочно – в коллекцию! ”

-Nagamag.com

Fairytale Embrace is an introspective song that highlights the differences between the real and the imaginary. Partially inspired by a sculpture of two figures by the French artist, Rodin, called “Eternal Springtime,” the lyrics explore the tension between two people viewing the sculpture and how someone’s perception differs from one’s self-image.

Remi Goode is a trained classical guitarist and choral singer turned alternative folk/pop singer-songwriter.

Remi embraces the diversity of her influences and asserts her originality by writing with honesty and introspection. She leans into the contradictions between unedited emotion and constant rationalization, walking the line between classical complexity and humble folk tunes. Although Remi released an EP, Muziek, at age 16, she is currently working on independently recording and releasing her first full-length album, which represents the artist she has become. She values collaboration highly, completing the entire project with the help of her band in Tempe, AZ. Her longtime musical partner and producer, Gabe Lehrer, has been there for every step of the way since age 13. Remi’s debut album, Don’t Drive Me Home, is expected in fall 2022.
