Yannique Barker, writer, artist, producer, director, and entertainment executive, p/k/a “YNIQ,” (an abbreviation for his name “Yannique”) started creating music when he was 16. Starting with free-styling over hip-hop instrumentals, he quickly learned how to assemble beats and convert his handwritten notes into songs. He and his parents later relocated to Miami after he transferred from the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Film and Cinematography to the University of Miami, where he graduated with degrees in Communications and Psychology.
Eventually, opportunities in music arose in South Beach and YNIQ was fortunate to work with multi-Grammy winner and songwriter Poo Bear (Usher, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, and others). In the Miami music scene, he was later introduced to one of the most successful producers, Scott Storch. Here, YNIQ observed both Poo Bear and Storch who, both individually and collectively, have recorded and produced superstars such as Beyoncé, 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Mario, Ludacris, Chris Brown, and Fat Joe, to name a few. Receiving a first-hand education in songwriting and production, YNIQ later teamed with multi-Grammy winning DJ and producer Vinny Venditto (Pitbull, Eminem, Don Omar, Nikki Minaj, and 2 Chainz) and began producing his own material after having watched and learning from some of the best in their respective elements.
Today, YNIQ has executive produced on several multi-genre albums and published over 150 songs commercially. His new single, “Rich Forever,” will be released in November 2021. He is also set to release his EP, “The Little Things,” in January 2022. Look for YNIQ and his future music and video projects coming throughout 2022.

Joshua Mbewe – professionally known as Laxcity – is a Sheffield, UK-based, Ndola, Zambia-born artist whose imaginative music draws on textured and intricate soundscapes to create immersive electronica with emotional resonance.
Laxcity’s debut LP, Catharsis, issued in 2018, is a moving project coloured by orchestral influencers that would set the stage for continued blends of high-octane electronica and oftentimes wistful, ambient and cinematic scores. A pair of 6-track EPs, Purity (2019) and Disconnect (January, 2021), would follow; he also issued a retrospective mixtape in May. 2021 has seen him land the cover of Spotify’s “Dance Rising” (2M) and “creamy” (700K); play Porter Robinson’s “Secret Sky”; tour with DROELOE in EU; release a collaborative single with acclaimed rising star Moore Kismet, and a single with San Holo’s bitbird imprint as part of its Gouldian Finch 4 compilation. AEG also booked his first ever headline show which will take place January 27, 2022 in London.
Newly independent, “melodies from heaven” captures the now-unmistakable Laxcity sound, with its whirring synths, sonic polish, and healing, invigorating energy. It’s the lead single from his second album and most ambitious project to date.
“In the instrumental scene, a lyrical palette is clearly traced. Those vocals also help not get out of the song's melodic flow. In the end, calm and peace are reflected in your life. Beautiful work from the very talented -Olivia kludgman-.”
“В акустическом инструментальном пространстве чётко прослеживается лирическая нотка, в которой вокал помогает не выбиваться из мелодичного потока. Спокойствие и умиротворение, настоящее многоточие для размышлений о жизни. Красивая работа в исполнение не менее талантливой -Olivia Klugman-.”

Artist said about this song:
"I wrote this song about my rejection of casual sex culture and the insecurities and fears I've struggled with when dating as someone who places a lot of meaning on sex. I'd rather be alone and wait for someone who truly loves me then be used to warm someone's bed in short!"
