Philly Billy’s musical journey started at the age of ten. His first recollection is his father playing jazz on an old piano. By fourteen-years-old he handled the guitar so well, that he became the musical director of the local rock band Pale. His life in those days mainly revolved around a Gibson Les Paul guitar, a Marshall amplifier and a record player. By age 18, Philly Billy discovered his talents for producing and songwriting. He has been part of the Norwegian music scene ever since. After high school, he moved to Oslo to work at Disclab Studio.

His first official release was a UK remix of Lene Marlin’s debut hit single “Unforgivable Sinner.” Shortly after, he founded the Audioklinikken Studios – a complex consisting of five different studios located in Norway. He produced and co-wrote Norwegian artist Erik Faber’s debut hit-album Between The Lines. Four top-10 hits were the result. Philly Billy has since then worked with some of the biggest names in the game.

Expect som major noise from the humble producer now that he is focusing on his own artist brand, Philly Billy. CALL 1- 800 Philly Billy

Btw, Philly Billy is stuck in a time rift in 1988!

Pre55ure – Love Back (feat. Vlera) (Lyrics)
(Video)

“-Love Back- is an extremely successful mix of modern deep house and EDM. Pulsating rhythm, pronounced bass line and saturated gospel vocals.”

“-Love Back- это крайне удачный симбиоз deep house и современного EDM. Пульсирующий ритм, выраженная басовая линия и насыщенный госпельный вокал.”

-Nagamag.com

The London-based, up and coming production duo PRE55URE are back on the chart-topping Perfect Havoc label with new house single, ‘Love Back’ released on 19th March. The vocal-led, piano tinged ‘Love Back’ marks only the third outing for this young production outfit who sit in the illustrious company of fellow Perfect Havoc signees, including UK No.1 artist Joel Corry, double platinum selling Swedish producer Tobtok, PS1, Kokiri, Karen Harding and more. With more singles lined up for release in 2021, the future for PRE55URE looks to be an exciting one, indeed. Stream the new single here: https://perfecthavoc.lnk.to/loveback

The mysterious PRE55URE came about after a meeting of creative minds at Miami Music Week in 2019. Fuelled by a shared love of house music, the two producers instantly hit it off, and one impromptu studio session later saw them produce three solid records, and PRE55URE was born.

Soon after, the label heads at the London-based indie, Perfect Havoc; Adam Griffin and Robert Davies, clocked onto the potential sounds of PRE55URE. Those fresh vibes created in that fruitful studio session in Miami were signed to Perfect Havoc and became PRE55URE’s first officially released body of work.

PRE55URE arrived with debut single ‘It’s All Good’, achieving a stirring 164,000 streams on Spotify alone. That was instantly followed up by ‘Through the Knight (Ft. Haley Williams)’, a showcase of PRE55URE’s perfect blend of strong hooks, addictive bass lines and quality vocals; the now common thread throughout all PRE55URE productions.

Perfect Havoc have signed more house grooves cooked up by PRE55URE during the pandemic in the form of another radio-ready release, ‘The Way It Is (TWII)’ which will land in April 2021.

The A&R team at Perfect Havoc have an acute ear for both underground and mainstream hits, licencing cool house cuts to Toolroom Records and Kitsune, and the commercially appealing to majors like Atlantic and Columbia. Perfect Havoc has a fast-rising status underlined by earning four UK Top 10s and platinum certified records, including Joel Corry’s Sorry (No. 8), Lonely (No. 4), Head & Heart (No. 1) and a Top 20 hit with PS1 ft Alex Hosking ‘Fake Friends’.

Now with the accessible sounds of PRE55URE in its armoury, both label and artists, including the fresh face of vocalist Vlera on this latest single, might just be looking at another hit single.

Verdance – Is and Is Not
(Spotify)

“Stunning sound magic delivered by "Verdance". Interesting Downtempo blend with some House elements. Your new favourite track "Is And Is Not" has come to stay for long. From the intro utill the last fading seconds, your amusement is guaranteed!”

-Nagamag.com

Verdance' is the Downtempo/Electronic alias of Instrumental Hip Hop Beatmaker 'Handbook'; Jake Brown from York (UK). Bonobo-esque sampling techniques and danceable grooves give this project a familiar feel, but through unique soundscapes Jake creates worlds that only he could.

Verdance: "this project is a gateway to another world. Music has been that kind of salvation of late. If I can't find a musical world I want to escape to, I create one of my own. Plunge is my retreat, and hopefully listeners can escape there too"

'Is and Is Not' is the first single taken from the forthcoming album 'Plunge'

In no way inferior to some of the greats (Bonobo, Emancipator, Tor, Maribou State, Tycho), Plunge is a timeless project that you will keep coming back to time after time after time.

The full album 'Plunge' will release on limited edition 10" blue vinyl as well as digitally on March 31.

https://www.instagram.com/verdancemusic

UK-based act Verdance is the newly born side project of Hip Hop instrumentalist Handbook. However, in this new expedition Verdance (Jake Brown) goes beyond the confines of genre in order to heavily emphasize imagery and mood by exploring the depths of electronica, deep house, and downtempo music.

Generally, when we thinking of the term ‘verdant’, our imagination is immediately wrapped by images of green, lush, nature, or perhaps the viridescence of spring – and that’s exactly the kind of garden-fresh aesthetic Verdance acquaints us with through his organic, yet lively soundscapes. City life for Jake has detached him from nature so Verdance creates an aural link to a world that we don't always get the opportunity to enjoy.

It’s only a matter of time until Verdance blossoms into a big fixture in the electronic and dance music domain.

Kepa Lehtinen – Face plant
(Video)

“Incredibly beautiful, virtuosic and enigmatic work. -Face Plant- can be easily compared with an unsolved puzzle that leaves some shade of mysticism. Fascinating piano and striking sound vibration theremin.”

“Невероятно красивое, виртуозное и загадочное произведение. -Face Plant- во время прослушивания можно легко сравнить с нерешённой головоломкой, которая оставляет лёгкий оттенок мистики. Завораживающая игра пиано и поразительное звуковое колебание терменвокса.”

-Nagamag.com

Kepa Lehtinen Face plant

A new musical excursion from Kepa Lehtinen …Face plant is six track mini album of original contemporary classical music written for piano, contrabass, and theremin. . The theremin is an century-old electronic instrument that’s played by hand gestures rather than direct contact.

Nobody uses theremin like i do. It is not a solo instrument anymore. Because theremin responds to even the slightest movement (even to the players breath) it has become the organic sonic cornerstone of my music. It is the element that makes the soundscape really come to life ”

Face plant “I am 50 years old skateboarder. I have always loved the expression ”Face plant” (an instance of falling face first into or on to something.) If you skate on the limits of your skills you are going to fall at some point. It is going to hurt.”

Kontula Kontula (2018) is my most beloved composition. (740 000 streams on Spotify) ”Kontula ” is new solo remake of the piano version of the theme.

Fall ”The mix of classical and retro electronic music makes ideas escape easily and appreciate the changing season. Beautiful, very, very beautiful.” Mika Roth/desibeli.net

Nowhere ”Kepa gives an original instrument a new voice and expression in a center stage manner that merges electronic with a future indie classic. ” Ryan Martin/Jammerzine

Lockdown…Arpeggios on a broken piano – the sound of a pandemic.

It is ok to be a computer… Chiptune version of my track ”It is ok to be sad and dark” The last track on all my solo records is the Commodore 64 version of some previous song. The Spotify algorithm will punishes me – lol.

Kepa Lehtinen has written music for many films, commercials, and TV productions. He plays the piano, synthesizers, theremin.He released his first solo album, Playing Theremin, in 2018.

Karen-Lee Batten – Drinkin’ Song
(Spotify)

“Your "Drinkin' Song" is now available by the fantastic Karen-Lee Batten. Striking Country sound with exuberant voice in the lyrics, are fair enough to feel the rhythm in your vains. Whether you're alone or not, this is an excellent company for the next three minutes!”

-Nagamag.com

Award-winning Canadian country recording artist Karen Lee Batten is thrilled to release her sassy new party single, “Drinkin’ Song”. New on all digital platforms, the track will go to Canadian country radio on April 26th.

Co-written by Batten with Jeff Johnson (Madeline Merlo), and Mitch Merrett (Tyler Joe Miller) – and co-produced by Merrett (Black Mountain Whiskey Rebellion) and Johnson (Meghan Patrick) – “Drinkin’ Song” is an intoxicating blend of traditional country sass topped off with the musical equivalent of a lightning shot of moonshine.

Inspired by the ups and downs of a past relationship, “Drinkin’ Song” is Batten’s sing-along anthem for when life’s curveballs call for a loud bar, a stiff drink, and a good laugh.

Speaking about the single, Batten says, “We wrote ‘Drinkin’ Song’ as a party tune to remind us that lettin’ loose is a must in order to take us away from what’s not working. We don’t always need a sad song to get us through the rough times. In country music, we like to think that the answer for everything is in a honkytonk bar – where you can raise your glass, sing along, and have a wicked time with your crew.”

For Batten – a former “Canadian Idol” finalist and 7-time BC Country Music Association Award Winner for Female Artist of the Year – “Drinkin’ Song” follows last year’s well-received single release, “Too Strong”, and comes after winning the 2020 BCCMA Award for Fans’ Choice. “Drinkin’ Song” is the second single from her planned EP, which will be released next fall.

The process of co-writing the majority of the songs on the EP has been a creatively rewarding experience of inspiration and reflection for Batten – with “Drinkin’ Song” being the latest example.

She says, “While ‘Drinkin’ Song’ comes from a challenging time, the process of bringing it to life made me realize and celebrate just how far I’ve come. I hope people can listen to it and be grateful for turning their own hard times into good times.”

Karen Lee Batten will be supporting “Drinkin’ Song” with an official music video in advance of its April 26th release to Canadian country radio.

“Drinkin’ Song” is available across all digital platforms now.
