French-Australian duo Djakarta are set to release Looking for Attention (Acoustic), their new single featuring Hawaiian singer Keilimei on their label LyreBirds Records.
Driven by an offbeat folk guitar and flirty come-hither lyrics sung from an alternating male-female point of view, their track is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to singlehood and the false sense of freedom and fear of commitment that come with endless one-night-stands

Brazilian Singer-Songwriter Thaís Gulin Makes U.S. Debut with Sultry New Single ‘quar3ntine – a valentine in the quarantine’
Gulin Addresses Politics, Love, and Social Issues with Artful Video Filmed by Neighbors During Quarantine in Copacabana
Renowned Brazilian songstress and actress Thaís Gulin has released her quarantine-inspired single “quar3ntine – a valentine in the quarantine.” The avant-garde video for her American debut was filmed remotely in May of 2020, during a time when the once lively city of Rio de Janeiro, became deserted due to the coronavirus pandemic. Gulin channels her free spirit in her first release since her 2013 hit, “Cinema Big Butts.” Gulin was lovestruck at the beginning of the pandemic, but also disgusted by the outlandish behavior of her country’s president.

“When COVID-19 first hit Brazil, we watched President Bolsonaro carelessly mishandle the pandemic by allowing the virus to rapidly spread throughout the country. He seemed to enjoy it,” explains Gulin. “He would encourage people to disregard public health guidelines such as wearing masks and staying six feet apart, and would publicly mingle with his supporters by shaking their hands and hugging them. This is a political song disguised as a love song. It’s like if the emergency of love was running in parallel to the despair of political happenings.”
Gulin appointed her neighbor as director of photography, who also doubled as her cameraman. The video cascades through various scenes of Gulin intimately singing to her audience of one, while creatively layering in stunning backdrops of the vacant coasts of Rio de Janeiro, giving the video both a multidimensional and observational feel.

Nicky Romero returns to Virgin Records/Universal Music with the new dance-pop crossover gem “Why Do I Call” to follow up on his last year’s debut “Nights With You.” The Dutch veteran producer once again showcases his dynamic abilities by opening with soulful vocals and organic instrumentals, letting the heartfelt lyrics shine before leading into a deep house-influenced chorus. The song plays to anyone who has chased the past, adding a rhythmic dance twist to an otherwise radio-friendly track. Nicky Romero began his partnership with Virgin/Universal and forayed into the softer side of the electronic dance music spectrum just last year after also launching his underground side-project Monocule while heading up his imprint Protocol Recordings, so we can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.
After taking the world by storm with early hits such as “Legacy” with Krewella and the #1 single “I Could Be The One” with Avicii, Nicky Romero quickly proved that his talent is ever-evolving and here to stay. After launching his Protocol Recordings imprint in 2012, the renowned performer, producer, and label head continued his personal successes with a string of high-profile releases, ranging from collaborations with Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W&W, Timmy Trumpet and Steve Aoki to remixes for the likes of Robin Schulz, Kygo, Rita Ora, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Jess Glynne and more. While showcasing his label’s roster via his weekly Protocol Radio show, Nicky Romero continues to innovate and evolve, and with his annual “Nicky Romero & Friends” ADE showcase and the launch of Monocule alter-ego, he keeps proving his ability to turn into gold everything he touches.

Classic organ-bass bump and grind from Marc Volt and Divine pushes speakers back while keeping its daytime options open. Theirs is a sharp and skippy vocal house session that you can take as a heart-on-sleeve love song, or a serious bumper to wrap your body around, getting more intimately acquainted on a stylishly soulful breakdown. Volt and Divine prove to be a match made in heaven, especially with names that sum up ‘All I Need’ perfectly as they reach the pinnacle of dancefloor drive and vocal bliss.
Marc Volt brings a spark to the house scene that his name demands, lighting up playlists and sets belonging to Danny Howard, Hannah Wants, Camelphat, Solomun, Riva Starr and Joris Voorn: a star selection of those hyping the Amsterdam-based producer’s sound. The Toolroom, Stereo Productions and Snatch! labels, and Mysteryland, Promised Land and ADE live stages, lead the list of outfits Volt has sent his electric sound through, and Volt riding with Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano saw their ‘In My Mind’ collaboration become a Spotify sensation, totalling over a million streams and counting.
Divine brings an all singing, all dancing, all spinning, always hype performance across the entire house spectrum, with Simma Black, Spinnin’ Records and Armada SBJKT but three beneficiaries of the Curacao-born entertainer giving it all she’s got. Always into something both domestically and globally, Divine has had the chance to work with a host of hot properties headed by The Deepshakerz, Rene Amesz, Hatiras, Johan S, Danny Rhys and Elliot Fitch. Support for Divine verifies her godliness in house circles, with Low Steppa, Mark Knight, David Guetta, Sam Divine, Bob Sinclar and Oliver Heldens all in her corner, and Kiss FM and BBC Radio 1 blasting her across the world's airwaves.
“‘All I Need’ was born in a lockdown session” says Volt, “during a time where we both felt the world needed some words about love and that special someone that will always complete you - a sweet track, made in sad times, that can now start spreading happiness”. For all the feels and freedom of house music, Volt and Divine ask that you look no further.

Devil’s Lips is a fun pop song with a darker and deeper meaning – similar to ‘Dancing on my own’ – a song you can dance to or cry to (but most likely both). It is about temptation, identity and a coming of age.
