Bad Proxy x Social Kid – Break Away
“Just a thermonuclear Dubstep with the atmosphere of Cyberpan! Plunger into the funnel of low -frequency bass, sound distortion and glue and do not think that you are safe. At any second, detonation can occur and the beast inside you will break out! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Просто термоядерный Dubstep с атмосферой киберпанка! Погрузитесь в воронку низкочастотного баса, звуковых искажений и глитча и не думайте, что вы в безопасности. В любую секунду может произойти детонация и зверь внутри вас вырвется наружу!”

This song represents a chapter in the proxyverse which follows a dystopian storyline in which social kid helps an AI escape imminent death. The track is comprised of synths arranged in a melodic plucking fashion paired with neuro glitches, and stabbing basses to give it an almost mob like mentality.

Bass Astral x Igo – Orell
“The vocals are extremely interesting and specific, with a huge share of creative musical ideas. Successfully selected arrangement in the genre of Indietronica, with a tube atmosphere of the 80-90s, and also pleases the combination of living and synthesized tools. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Вокал крайне интересен и специфичен, с огромной долей креативных музыкальных идей. Удачно подобранная аранжировка в жанре Indietronica, с ламповой атмосферой 80-90-ых годов, а так же радует сочетание живых и синтезированных инструментов.”

Today, multi-platinum-selling singer-songwriter Calum Scott shares his new single “Boys in the Street,” an intimate and deeply empathetic cover of a 2015 track from Scottish artist Greg Holden. Accompanied by a poignant black-and-white video, “Boys in the Street” will appear on Calum’s highly anticipated sophomore album Bridges, to be released on 17 June.

A devastating but ultimately life-affirming account of a father’s struggle to accept his openly gay son, “Boys in the Street” centers on a particularly impassioned vocal performance from Calum (an exquisite song interpreter whose platinum-certified take on Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” earned him a 2017 Brit Award nomination). In a departure from the acoustic-guitar-driven sound of the original track, Calum’s rendition arrives as an elegant piano ballad graced with lush string work, gradually taking on a tearful intensity as he narrates the father’s journey toward understanding. Directed by Jackson Ducasse (Ellie Goulding, James Bay), the stark yet stunning video for “Boys in the Street” breathes new life into that storytelling, following Calum through empty city streets as he sings directly to the camera and fully embodies the song’s outpouring of emotion.
“‘Boys in the Street’ is one of the few songs that has made me cry on the first listen,” says Calum. “I connected to the original version instantly and had wanted to record my own interpretation for the last few years. When I’d finished my second album, I had the time to craft my own version, and immediately got in touch with Greg to ask for his blessing. I knew it would fit perfectly on Bridges, and in some ways was the song I was missing. I’m honoured to include this powerful and inspiring piece on my sophomore record — I know it’s a song that not only I can relate to but will resonate with others around the world.”
The follow-up to Calum’s 2018 full-length debut Only Human — a widely acclaimed effort that hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries across the globe, in addition to selling more than 3.6 million in adjusted album sales and garnering over 7.5 billion combined streams — Bridges will also feature his previously released singles “Heaven” (a breathtaking tribute to living in the moment by surrendering to love), “If You Ever Change Your Mind” (a bittersweet but empowered piece produced by Greg Kurstin, an eight-time GRAMMY Award® winner known for his work with Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Adele), “Rise” (a wildly soaring track whose video features a captivating performance from British actor Georgia Hirst), and “Biblical” (a heart-on-sleeve ballad Calum later followed with an American Sign Language version made in collaboration with the Tony Award®-winning Deaf West Theatre). Fans can pre-order the album HERE.
Soon after the release of Bridges, Calum will embark on a world tour with 25 dates scheduled for North America and dates across the UK, Europe, Australia, and South Africa. See below for UK dates and find ticketing info at https://www.calumscott.com/.

Seamus Caplice – The Way It Goes
“An attractive track in the Funk genre with very deep and worked out vocal parties. Music, which at ease, leads you out of the hand from the zone of your comfort, trying to help you free yourself from endless stereotypes. Music music, rhythm music. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

Bren Holmes – No Return
“The arrangement and melody are simple, but so hard that they echoed a sonorous echo inside you for a very long time. Nadly, hoarse vocal, rhythm and Alt Country’s melody and the general atmosphere of something important. A thoughtful track that asks more questions than answers them. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Аранжировка и мелодия простые, но настолько сильно цепляют, что звонким эхом резонируют внутри вас ещё очень продолжительное время. Надрывистый, хрипловатый вокал, ритм и мелодия Alt Country и общая атмосфера нечто важного. Вдумчивый трек, который задаёт больше вопросов, чем отвечает на них.”

Michael Murray x Genevieve Fulks x Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra – Passage to Nod: No. 3, Where Go the Boats?
“In this classical composition, a light feeling of anxiety and danger is felt from the very beginning, but this is only an illusion. Opera vocals, accompanied by a chamber symphonic orchestra, create an amazing atmosphere, which is revealed with each action with a new side unexpected for you. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“В этой классической композиции с самого начала ощущается лёгкое чувство тревоги и опасности, но это лишь иллюзия. Оперный вокал в сопровождении камерного симфонического оркестра создают удивительную атмосферу, которая раскрывается с каждым действием с новой, неожиданной для вас стороны.”

Composer Michael Murray’s album PASSAGES brings the words of iconic 19th and 20th century poets to life through stirring music for solo soprano and instruments. Murray has selected poetry from the likes of Robert Louis Stevenson, William Butler Yeats, William Wordsworth, John Keats, and Walt Whitman, with poems detailing childhood adventure, hope, and tragedy. Celebrated soprano Genevieve Fulks performs throughout; most of the music heard on the album was written specifically with her voice in mind. Murray’s music has been lauded for its meticulously crafted yet ultimately approachable style. Through familiar themes and time-honored poetry, Murray invites listeners to engage with, and even be challenged by, this collection of thoughtful compositions.
La Macarena Records – Good Times Roll, Pt. 3
“In vocal, something else prevails, there is a characteristic timbre balance, as if it were from another planet. This is a real mixture of passion and emotions that attracts to itself. A fantastic mood in the bright rays of Neo-Soul and Indie R&B, in the whirlpool of which you irrevocably drown. We guarantee! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“В вокале преобладает нечто иное, присутствует характерный тембральный баланс, будто он с другой планеты. Это настоящая смесь страсти и эмоций, которая так и манит к себе. Фантастическое настроение в ярких лучах Neo-Soul и Indie R&B, в водовороте которых вы безвозвратно утоните. Гарантируем!”

About three months ago I had a dream, I was in a band playing Jack White’s guitar, which sounded like a bass, Charlie Watts was playing drums, Earl King was singing, there was a horn section and the Raelettes were doing the backing vocals. To one side were Lennon and McCartney shouting and clapping. It was a call and response song, between the singer and the riff, and the horns and the Raelettes jumped in in the chorus. When I woke up the song was still vivid in my memories.
