“This charming Acoustic composition captivates the listener not so much with its lyrics, but with its sound approach. Warm, sincere and so wonderful, as if you are at home, where they love you and are waiting for you. Music for your soul and life.”
“Эта очаровательная, акустическая композиция берёт в плен слушателя не столько своей лирикой, сколько подходом к звуку. Тёплый, душевный и такой родной, словно ты оказался в родном доме, где тебя любят и ждут. Музыка для души, музыка для жизни.”

Throughout their illustrious career, the name Krewella has become known for hard-hitting and yet emotionally charged music. True to form, the Jahan and Yasmine sisters’ new body of work – “The Body Never Lies” is a shining example of their signature sound and artistic direction. After releasing singles “Never Been Hurt” with BEAUZ, “No Control” with MADGRRL, and “I’m Just A Monster Underneath, My Darling,” Krewella has unveiled the full 10-track masterpiece. The album was created from an intimate, internal space of Krewella’s self-reflection, exploring impermanence, the oddity of human experience, their relationship to the world around them as women in a male-dominated society. “The Body Never Lies” title hints at the range of emotions within the LP, with each track as unique and varied as our feelings themselves. “Traces” serves as a haunting opener, quickly followed by a series of heavier tracks, including the drum & bass-inspired “In The Water” and the angry yet touching “War Forever.” Krewella hits a different vibe with the last three tracks, which explore the darker and more tender side of the human experience. After a long wait for this highly anticipated album, to say that Krewella has done it again with “The Body Never Lies” would be an understatement. The album’s release coincides with their upcoming 2022 album-themed tour, which covers 2+ months of live shows and DJ sets, hitting cities including Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Denver, and more.
“The clench of a fist, the pit in your stomach, the fluid in your veins; the body is a sensor, messenger, keeper of stories, a fortress of the soul, an instrument of knowing, a rocket ship to other worlds. Every cell, pore, and bone recalls the past, absorbs the present, and senses the future. ‘The Body Never Lies’ is at times an angry, sometimes feverish, but always a euphoric conversation about feeling, remembering, and existing in our individual vessels that encase our soul and memories.” – Krewella
Sisters Jahan and Yasmine exploded onto the scene in 2012 with their debut self-released EP “Play Hard,” which has now been streamed almost 150M times on Spotify alone; additionally, their single “Alive” from the EP has been certified Platinum. Since then, the duo has made a name for themselves and their hard-hitting yet melodic and vocal-driven sound through releases like “Live for the Night,” “Enjoy the Ride,” and more. In 2016, Krewella was awarded a coveted place on Forbes’s “30 Under 30” list. They have performed at major global music festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, iHeartRadio Music Festival, and many others, in addition to their own headlining tours. As one of the main elements of the Krewella canon, the group’s onstage performances serve as the live extension of their music and art, incorporating a multitude of audiovisual elements together with Jahan and Yasmine’s live vocals and powerful onstage energy.

Alligatorz – Bubbly
“”Alligatorz” have just dropped their bomb and it’s ready to burn the dancefloors. Cool Dancehall tune, decorated with Latin sound elements in uplifting mood. Its fast flow, funky FX and clever lyrics, can send it directly among your top preferences.”
-Nagamag.com
Dance floor-scorching duo Alligatorz are teasing their debut Bang Bang EP with a bombastic new single. Featuring the powerful punchlines and flow of Mr. J Medeiros, “Bubbly” (out March 3 in advance of the EP’s release on March 11) finds forward-thinking reggaeton infused with classic violin touches. The release comes alongside a colorful music video with endless dancing and neon-inflected animations.
Inspired by a trip to Rio de Janeiro, DJ Greem (Hocus Pocus, C2C) and Røn Puma (Caravan Palace) were moved to mix the rich sounds of Latin American culture with diverse electronic and hip-hop influences. After releasing a string of songs and mixtapes while performing from everywhere from Argentina to Colombia, they decided to assemble their eclectic first EP as Alligatorz. The result is a vibrant musical adventure where samba, reggaeton, and baile funk intermix with French electronic production and animated hip-hop vocals, all making for an animated, outstanding approach stretching into 2022 and beyond.
Lester Getz x M0NF0RT – Famous
“Excellent natural groove with a great sounding bunch of musical beings. It’s smooth and transitions from the breakdown into the vocally rich peaks well. His guitar solo is admirable, throwing spotlight on the acoustic interpretations. ”

Famous was written about the inability to find a creative output when not suffering from heartbreak.
Forest Ray – Close Your Eyes
“There is always a balance in sound as well as in nature. At some point, we have to sink into an incredibly compact musical tornado of emotions. Music like "Close Your Eyes" should become part of the collection of each music lover.”
“Баланс в музыке, как и в природе, всегда имеет место быть. В определённые моменты мы должны погрузиться в невероятно тягучий музыкальный вихрь чувств и эмоций. Такая музыка, как эта композияи, должна стать частью коллекции любого уважающего себя меломана.”

Adam Carpels – Blinded Knight
“It took us right into the story told. The clever voiceover adds great depth to the piece. Its multivocal interpretation of the vocals are rich in productional finesse. The beat is a classic one and the groove it provides is clean. Strong message behind the lyrics. ”

Joel Jacob x Michael Timothy – Flyin Away
“When you feel falling from pressure and dissapointment, Joel Jacob has the solution for you. Music which reveals the happy aspect of life with its R&B mood and bright spirit. Don't lose time! Wear your headphones, adjust the volume and fly away.”
-Nagamag.com
FLYIN AWAY is a FEEL GOOD song that will make you get your groove on and make you dance like there is no tomorrow. This Upbeat track, with its Funky Bass-line & a boatload of vocal harmonies, has a Dancy-Retro vibe to it, which makes it perfect for the clubs & Radio.
Saults – Givin Up
“When you feel trapped in a toxic relationship and have unsuccessfully tried to improve things, you may have to give up. This is the story of “Saults” as it unfolds in Indie Pop mood and surely independent spirit! Fast, groovy and dancing result guaranteed.”
-Nagamag.com
Taking its lead from their previous single; “Stuck In Old Fantasy”, Saults latest banger, “Givin Up” comes to you via German Indie powerhouse Swutch Music, the home of some of the most exciting up-and-coming electronic music in 2022.
With Jack Wilson from Fickle Friends once again in the producer’s chair, there’s a slickness that is both palpable and fresh. “Givin Up” delivers on every level be that musically, vocally, or just straight-up bop-ability. This is one song that will lead us all into the summer we desperately need (or at least until Saults release their next smash).
Quote : “What Givin’ Up on Me wants to express is that sort of relationship we’ve all been in, when you try everything to make it work but it keeps falling into pieces no matter what. So there’s only one way to break the cycle of failure: tell your partner to leave you, to set you free, because you can’t do it by yourself.”
