The Sazerac Swingers – Parisian Boy (feat. Emily Rault)
“Music can easily be compared with the artist – both create images and share them with listeners and spectators. And, sometimes, you do not notice how you create a real hit that amazes with its depth and performance. It is precisely such impressions that this explosive cocktail of jazz music and vocals -emily rault- leaves. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Музыку легко можно сравнить с художником — оба создают образы и делятся ими со слушателями и зрителями. И, порой, ты не замечаешь, как создаёшь настоящий хит, поражающий своей глубиной и исполнением. Именно такие впечатления оставляет этот взрывоопасный коктейль из джазовой музыки и вокала -Emily Rault-.”

johnny simon – blonde japanese
“When you finally lost touch with the world and was left alone with you, this music will help to find a way out of this situation. She seems to speak with you – relax, throw out all the garbage from the house, renew the wardrobe and just go out into the street to breathe fresh air. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Когда ты окончательно потерял связь с миром и остался один на один с собой, то эта музыка поможет найти выход из сложившейся ситуации. Она словно говорит с тобой — расслабься, выкинь весь мусор из дома, обнови гардероб и просто выйди на улицу подышать свежим воздухом.”

Johnny Simon not only composed and produced everything himself, but also played all the instruments – from electric bass and guitar to piano, blues harp and trumpet. Having toured half the world as a sideman, JS’s desire for something of his own has grown steadily. The result is available now and he speaks his very own musical language.

The super talented Swedish songsmith joins forces with Belfast-based Lilla, combining uplifting vocals with nostalgic electro pop vibes and feel-good musicality from end to end.
Released 27th May on Perfect Havoc
Press release for immediate release.
Multi-million streaming Swedish producer Oliver Nelson returns in emphatic fashion with new single ‘Long Summer Nights’ released on 27th May in joint partnership on Perfect Havoc – the chart-topping label that discovered and broke Joel Corry – and acclaimed artist management company, music publisher, and record label, Prolifica. In collaboration with Nelson on this latest release is the incredibly talented Irish singer/songwriter, Lilla Vargen, together creating the perfect soundtrack to warm, summer days and chromatic late-evening sunsets. Stream it here: https://perfecthavoc.lnk.to/longsummernights
Instantly emotive, ‘Long Summer Nights’ kicks straight into Vargen’s gripping vocal topline whilst gliding through a passionate progression of piano keys and delicate rhythm before upping the energy with an ensemble of electro-tinged synths and powerful ‘80s inspired cinematic drum work. Whether on a crowded dancefloor or cruising into the horizon with the top down, this latest addition to the Perfect Havoc catalogue will strike a chord and linger in the memory all summer long.
Oliver Nelson first burst onto the scene with a series of high-profile nu disco remixes before Polydor snapped up his debut single ‘Found Your Love’ in 2016. Now with over 400 million global streams to his name, Nelson is the brains behind high profile remixes for NEIKED, Ella Henderson, Kesha, Joel Corry and many more. His infectious bootleg of The Wombats ‘Greek Tragedy’ unexpectedly went viral on TikTok in 2021, featuring in over 430,000 videos and culminating in an official release on 14th Floor Music.
Nelson is a master in the studio, evident in collaborations with Kygo on ‘Riding Shotgun’ (Sony) and on big house productions on the label that discovered him, Perfect Havoc, including standouts, ‘Is It Real?’ and ‘Something ‘Bout The Music’. Ever pushing the envelope, last year Nelson launched electro-pop group Moodshift, alongside Grammy-winner, Lucas Nord, and vocalist, flyckt, and remains in demand as a remixer too with a huge official rework for Donna Summer turning heads last June.
Having accumulated 50 million streams and completed a huge arena tour as guest to Dermot Kennedy, Lilla Vargen is one of Ireland’s fastest rising new talents. She has regularly collaborated with the MyRiot production duo whose credits include London Grammar and Halsey. Having so far released fewer than a dozen tracks, Lilla has already achieved seven Top 15 New Music Friday features with Spotify plus numerous key playlists at Apple Music. Radio is rapidly gaining traction too, with Radio 1 airplay from Phil Taggart, Huw Stephens and Best New Pop alongside support from Radio X and Ireland’s RTÉ 1 and 2.
Perfect Havoc – Best Independent Record Label nominee at the 2022 Music Week Awards – is one of the most successful indie dance labels of recent years. Its trademark commercial dance with a smattering of the more club-focused sounds has generated the label over 3 billion streams and given rise to six UK Top 20 singles including the No.1 single ‘Head & Heart’ by four-time Brit Award nominated producer, Joel Corry & MNEK.
Also knowing more than a thing or two about hit singles is the partnering label on this release. Prolifica was formed in 2004 as both the management and dance label behind such artists as Robert Miles, Spiller, Planet Funk and Dimitri from Paris. It’s since transitioned into a multi-artist award winning company behind such as established global arena artists as Two Door Cinema Club.

(Los Angeles, CA – May 25, 2022) Today, artist and songwriter Tessa Violet has debuted her new single, “BREAKDOWN.” The song is the latest taste of Tessa’s forthcoming sophomore album. Stream “BREAKDOWN” everywhere here + watch the visualizer here.
The new single continues the dynamism of Tessa’s new era, delivering a one-two punch of slick alt-rock and earworm electro-pop defining a distinct sonic realm of Tessa’s own. Backed by shapeshifting production, the driving track is a spunky celebration of life’s inevitable lows, of which Tessa describes, “When you hit a new bottom and you think fuck it, dance party in hell.”

Today’s release of “BREAKDOWN” follows the spring 2022 release of single “YES MOM,” a bombastic self-love manifesto that has already attained 12M+ Spotify streams and landed Tessa on the cover of Spotify’s SALT playlist as well as sparking a new Genius ‘Verified.’ Gaining momentum off the back of a massive self-launched TikTok trend, the song has amassed 70K+ unique TikTok creates with 350 million views on Tessa’s creates alone.
Tessa’s 2019 independently released debut album, Bad Ideas, has paved a foundation that has solidified her place among the top rising artists in alternative pop. The album earned Tessa a spot on Spotify’s Times Square billboard and has seen nearly 300 million aggregate streams on hit single “Crush.”
Stymied by the pandemic and her planned album tour off the table, Tessa blazed a path of her own through 2020/21, reworking several singles off Bad Ideas, including collaborations with MisterWives on “Bored” and Chloe Moriondo on “Words Ain’t Enough.” Tessa’s standout rework of single “Games” featuring L.A. indie rock outfit lovelytheband and its Twilight-inspired video saw love from the likes of PAPER, LADYGUNN, and Hollywood Life. Single “Wishful Drinking” also received a spotlight on the heels of Tessa’s massive TikTok trend that now has over 225k unique videos.
On the live side, Tessa kept eager fans engaged with the launch of an exclusive livestream event – ‘Bad Ideas: The Experience’ – which took place in May 2021 as a final celebration of Bad Ideas. Tessa also collaborated on a string of livestream performances with outlets such as SPIN, Bandsintown, and EARMILK and even garnered an ‘Artist of the Week’ designation by Live Nation / Ones To Watch.

David Myles – Mystery
“Leave aside your cold analytics and enjoy the whole range of sounds that this track gives. The melodic and warming soul of the vocals along with the pleasant melody of Folk are extremely attractive to draw due attention. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Оставьте в стороне свою холодную аналитику и насладитесь всей гаммой звуков, которые дарит этот трек. Мелодичный и греющий душу вокал вместе с приятной мелодией Folk крайне притягательны, чтобы обратить на себя должное внимание.”
-Nagamag.com
Of our many time-worn idioms, few are as consistently on-the-money as “opposites attract.” Recognizing something unrecognizable in another human being pulls us toward them, spurring us to plumb their depths—to an extent. David Myles’ swooning new single, “Mystery,” finds him unpacking his own mesmerization as he comes face-to-face with a potential lover whose otherworldliness piques his curiosity.
Over a smooth, swinging beat and plaintive pedal steel, Myles makes the case for leaving some stones unturned, letting “Friday night, cheap wine, and neon lights” set the scene for embracing the magnetic tension—between a country boy and a city girl—that’s developing. As backup singers chime alongside the dreamy crescendo, and the night in question drifts out of focus, Myles’ love story reminds us that we never forget the ones who challenge and expand our perspectives.
In the making of his Juno Award winning instrumental record, That Tall Distance, Myles caught on to a really sweet sound. He wanted to push it further and see if he could incorporate his songs with words into this approach—working on instinct alone. And he approached the lyrics the same way. That’s how the making of his upcoming album, It’s Only A Little Loneliness, came about. Myles went with honesty and immediacy rather than heavily edited and second guessed. What came of it is a project that reflects his inner world more than any other he’s ever made.

The track is extremely successful and pleasant by ear, the rhythm is so naturally combined with vocals that if you carefully listen, it may seem that the music has always been in your head. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Отправляйтесь в путешествие вместе с -Tydal Kamau- и погрузитесь в музыку Reggae, словно в тёплые воды океана. Трек крайне удачен и приятен на слух, ритм настолько естественно сочетается с вокалом, что если внимательно вслушиваться, то может показаться, что музыка и вовсе всегда была в вашей голове.”

The song teleports you into Gigi Lalè’s bubblegum pop universe, sprinkled with thumping baselines and unforgettable Melodies. A girl power anthem, ‘Forget About Us’ puts cheating ex boyfriend on thin ice, “don’t make me call my lawyers, I’ll leave you counting quarters”.

Tommy Alexander – Silence (OurVinyl Sessions)
“Sometimes it is very useful to listen to the silence to clear the mind and free the subconscious. And after, when the soul calmed down, turn on the new track -tommy Alexander-, sit down by the window or warm fireplace and enjoy the lovely melody of the guitar, synthesizer and charming vocals. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Иногда очень полезно послушать тишину, чтобы очистить разум и освободить подсознание. А уже после, когда душа успокоилась, включить новый трек -Tommy Alexander-, присесть у окна или тёплого камина и насладиться прелестной мелодией гитары, синтезатора и обворожительного вокала.”

Helix Records debuts rising talent Chapter & Verse with his new single “Ready For The Rave,” which throws it back to the old-school UK raves, as the name clearly suggests. Opening with catchy vocals and a strong buildup of stabbing synths, Chapter & Verse wastes no time by upping the ante. The track breaks down in a driving, four on the floor beat that will slay dancefloors all over the globe and bring listeners back to the infamous underground, sometimes illegal, days before electronic dance music’s mainstage heyday. True to his dynamic style, Chapter & Verse also weaves in some modern tech-house influences with kickdrums and chopped vocals. Read on for the inspiration behind the track from the artist himself:
“I wanted to create a track which incorporates old-school rave along with modern-day tech house. I found and modified an old rave stab to create the sound heard throughout the 90s. I added a vintage Chapter & Verse bassline, an old-school vocal and ‘Ready For The Rave’ was born” – Chapter & Verse
Now one of the hottest new talents out of the UK, Chapter & Verse just started his career back in 2020. So far, he has released on such labels as Sony, Solotoko, Heldeep, Warner, Thrive, Insomniac, and more, while receiving major nods from the likes of Alesso, Green Velvet, Roger Sanchez, Gorgon City, to name a few.
