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.

Marc Volt, Divine – All I Need (Spotify)
“This fast House banger is all you need to restore your good mood and lost energy. Fresh collaborative release with hot vocals and groovy patterns which give a pleasant kick to your ears. Nice enough, to cause addictive results!”
-Nagamag.com
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.

Alfie Arcuri – DEVILS LIPS (Video)
“Track of completely unimaginable beauty, with the beautiful and charismatic vocals of -Alfie arcuri-. Thanks to its interesting sound arrangement, a pleasant aftertaste appears when listening. Also the positive vibrations of Synthpop make you play it on repeat.”
“Трек совершенно невообразимой красоты, с красивым и харизматичным вокалом -Alfie Arcuri-. Благодаря интересной аранжировке остаётся приятное послевкусие после прослушивания, а позитивные вибрации synthpop заставляют поставить песню на повтор. ”
-Nagamag.com
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.

Frya and Mr Kamera – BDE (Video)

Singer and songwriter Frya has released her smash hit B.D.E following her success with Netflix’s Blood & Water Season 2 soundtrack. The 27 year-old singer has worked with celebrated producer Mr Kamera on the single, whose music video is also breathtaking. Her forthcoming album Balance is now available for pre-order.

“BDE is a song I created for myself and other women to feel empowered about what they want and to be bold enough to say it. I want the song to be a powerful statement for everyone who hears it. I want it to be a record people play when they need to feel empowered, when they’re about to shoot their shot. I just want people to feel free to be fully themselves and I hope this record helps them with that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZIRWcPv6eY
Working on this record with Mr Kamera was so much fun. He’s such an incredible producer, he gets my voice and knows exactly how to capture that African sound and fuse it with dancehall.”
The pair worked together on the Blood & Water soundtrack – featuring four of her songs from her forthcoming album. This is a monumental feat for a new artist who is yet to release a full body of work and a true testament to Frya’s star power and talent.
The four songs Chandelier, Back it Up, Calculate and Changes are part of her much anticipated forthcoming debut album, Balance.
Her vocal prowess, relatable yet powerful writing skills and her versatile sonic embodiment makes Frya an artist to watch from the continent. Her sound is unique and fresh, inspired by her exposure to different parts of the world, having lived abroad.
