“When you listen to -All we need-, you can imagine a bright picture of the summer and the sun, which climbed over the horizon. Organic Rhythms of EDM, positive vocals, dreams and hopes are dancing in the soul.”

A debut single is always a tricky thing: is it going to float?

US DJ-producer MŪNTII gets it very right the first time on ‘All We Need’. That’s probably because he’s got more experience than a debut might implicate. Behind the scenes, MŪNTII has been working on this and follow-up tracks for years. ‘All We Need’ is a catchy, bass-led deep dance banger that keeps progressing and requiring our full attention until the end. Whether it’s in your workout playlist or at a house party, this tune fits perfectly!

YK, MaMan – Gombula
(Spotify)

“Oh, yes, -Gombula- is charming with my elements when the favorite rhythmic figure of AFROBEATS & POP push you into a state of trance and you are immersed in a special one world. In particular, we want to highlight the chorus, which will sound in your head a very long period.”

“О, да, -Gombula- очаровывает своей стихией, когда любимый ритмический рисунок afrobeats & pop вводит в состояние транса и ты погружаешься в особый, ни на что не похожий мир. В особенности хочется выделить припев, который будет звучать в вашей голове очень длительный период.”

Gombula' is an Arabic word that means ‘bomb’ which goes onto express how the woman explained in the song is the bomb. It was created by two Sudanese artists; YK based in the UK and MaMan based in the heart of Sudan, Khartoum. These two have been experienced in creating music for many years and have established fairly decent fanbases.

Matt Haughey, Jay Webb – The Kid That You Loved
(Spotify)

“-The Kid That You Loved- is something more than just music. The authors in their work drew so thin emotion in which you can hear a little sadness, a drop of hope and an ocean of emotions. Charming, lively performance and very sincere, soulful vocals.”

“-The Kid That You Loved- нечто большее, чем просто музыка. Авторы в своём произведение нарисовали настолько тонкую эмоцию, в которой можно услышать немного грусти, каплю надежды и целый океан эмоций. Очаровательное, живое исполнение и очень искренний, душевный вокал.”

-Nagamag.com

"The Kid That You Loved" is about growing apart from someone in a long-distance relationship. I wrote this song as a college student who wanted to share an experience of losing touch with a high school significant other.

Njordlyd – Subconsciously
(Spotify)

“Capturing the sounds of a early morning on a subplane of an alternate existence. Sweeping strings fill the air and swoop in for a landing. The meadow fills with life, breathtaking yet delicate. We seek to land here, will you accept? ”

Artist Quote:
"I often experienced the urge to try to sound like someone else or to add specific elements in order to make my music more commercial, but I concluded that it does not work for me. It has to come naturally, and I have to feel good about what I make. "

WEIRDO – TRANSCENDENCE
(Video)

“”Weirdo” is back with the always favourite Indie R&B style. Rich mix, with electronic patterns, smooth flow and creative progression. An alternate expression of a love story that finally fades away in a fake reality. Too artistic to miss!”

-Nagamag.com

After releasing his first single of the year, UK based singer-songwriter WEIRDO returns with a brooding, dark and eluding song ‘TRANSCENDENCE’, his second release taken from the upcoming debut mixtape/LP: ‘A MIXTAPE FOR HEARTBREAK’.

Accompanied by a sensational, surrealist and trippy 3D music video directed and created by Lucas Saidl and his visual collective ‘NotReal_Virtual’, TRANSCENDENCE sends you on an audial and visual journey through a broken relationship where love, betrayal, heartbreak and loss combine in an ethereal way.

Written, mixed and produced by WEIRDO in his Berlin based recording studio, a degraded drum beat joins forces with his signature nonchalant vocal style and a moody synth melody to result in a stunning “hit-repeat-again” track.

The song sets the scene for what’s about to come from his upcoming 10 track mixtape/LP, set for release in Autumn 2021.

You can pre-order the LP/Mixtape on various formats here: http://thewonderfulworldofweirdo.bigcartel.com

BIO:

When first emerging from his home studio a few years back, WEIRDO, also known as Josh Christopher, started out by releasing a demo called ‘Disco’ via Majestic Casual’s YouTube channel which quickly spun up a fuss and amassed more than 1 million plays within a few months… he then disappeared.

He later re-emerged from silence by spontaneously releasing a pair of odd-pop singles named ‘BUTTER’ and ‘ARMANIO’, which both received #1’s on Hype Machine and Human Human.

‘SAPPHIRE’ was his next musical manoeuvre in which he collaborated with some musical friends; on drums Debbie Knox-Hewson (Charli XCX, Nasty Cherry) and on bass Pierre Leck. Renowned photographer James Perolls took press pictures for the release.

After a little more silent treatment, he dropped ‘ATTITUDE’ which landed on Spotify with a New Music Friday UK addition alongside support from Apple Music’s UK playlists.

Press came from some of the blogosphere’s most respected outlets such as W Magazine, Pigeons and Planes, DIY, Clash and Line of Best Fit.

Annie Mac announced WEIRDO in her New Names playlist on her BBC Radio 1 show whilst it was also included in the BBC Introducing Best Of playlist by Huw Stephens.

He took, yet again, another short hiatus whilst diving into the working life to pay the bills, make some new music for his other project IYES, and “grow up a little bit”.

Christopher, previously of indie pop duo IYES, had a Billboard Dance Club Chart #1 alongside being signed to Sony UK.

In 2020, he returned with singles EUROTRASH, FAKIN’ and some other B-side tracks.

BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders was the first to support alongside BBC 6Music, BBC H+W, Amazing Radio, Spotify’s Fresh Finds: Pop playlist, and online outlets such as Vice/Noisey, Wonderland, Complex and EARMILK.

His latest and first release from his upcoming mixtape/LP, ‘CAN’T WITHOUT YOU’, a song co-written with acclaimed hitmaker A7S, received praise on Spotify’s Fresh Finds: Pop playlist once again, from Apple Music’s NEW IN INDIE playlist and Anghami’s Alternative Pop playlist.

WEIRDO once again proved he is not just a flash in the pan and reignited the flame of media buzz for the third time.

WEIRDO defines his life experiences lyrically and sonically. He bounces between lo-fi production techniques (using vintage synths, putting sounds to tape machines and playing with random musical toys) and throws freshness and modern elements into the pot with electro-pop sounds.
