Editor's note 

Hello, Bonjour, Ola, Ciao! I hope you're well wherever you are, welcome to 

our crazy creative world. 

November is so on fleek! Woahh let's pause for a moment, "on fleek" what is 

that? I mean "reem" I could handle, "selfies" is pushing it, but surely a simple 

cool or nice is better than on fleeek. So, the northern hemisphere is 

preparing to wrap up in cosy blankets with a hot cup of cocoa whilst the 

southern enters a scorching summer. This means warmer tones overall in 

the music scene and a deeper party atmosphere. We welcome new writers 

Steve and Emran to the team as well as a few reps getting out to hottest 

events for us. We also celebrate Sarah's first year at Audiation Magazine! 

Inside AM019: Sarah's Thoughts looks back at her incredible year of meeting 

the stars and climbing in her career. Emran discusses the feelings we gain 

from sounds. We chat to Natalie INDYA West and Sunny Andrea on their 

upcoming single which has a touch of bollywood influence. The top 10 UK 

charts gets scrutinised. Rokuro checks out the history and developments of 

the Tropical House genre. Alalila says Steve with his look at the Mauritian 

industry and how it's now blooming. Global DJ and fashionista Mary Jane 

discusses the industry in Ukraine. We cover the closing party of the 

notorious LET club hosted by Secret Models Ltd with international DJ 

Enrico Sangiuliano. We've also got your global festival guide and latest music 

updates.

Flashback one year ago. I was still a teenager and interning at two 

music venues in Chicago. I remember the day @AudiationMag followed 

me on Twitter, I thought it was so cool. I thought the layout was very 

complex, the writers were cultured and educated, and that it was 

something fresh to the scene that I never thought about—an online 

music magazine. However, I thought it was just going to be another 

account that found me because I am a college student interesting in 

working in the music business. I was so wrong. 

About a day after they followed me, Mizz-Ruby, owner and co-founder 

of Audiation, messaged me inquiring about my passion for the industry. 

More messages were sent and she was inviting me onto the team. ME. 

ONTO THIS TEAM. Let alone me, being the only one representing the 

USA. One thing led to another and bam, here we are, one year later. MY 

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON THE AUDIATION TEAM! This article goes 

as an appreciation note toward Audiation, Mizz-Ruby, the team and 

everyone that subscribes/reads! You keep us going, and want to deliver 

nothing but the best! So thank you, Audiation Magazine has changed my 

life. 

Thinking about the topic of a year ago, a lot has changed since then. 

First, I’m typing this from my new Apple computer. That’s a step forward! 

I used to be so scared of these machines, but now I see why everyone 

considers them to be innovative and easier to use. Aside from computers, 

I’ve been able to connect with many artists/managers/security/galore 

in the industry, and it only keeps my dreams that much more alive. I’ve 

been to more concerts than I can count, been able to interview bands/ 

artists I didn’t even think were possible to connect with, and I’ve gotten 

to see Europe! (Well, that last part was for my studies, but it still 

happened this past year). Above all, I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated 

the feeling of coming home and relaxing in bed, as boring as it sounds, it 

is nice to wind down from how crazy life can get! 

10 


I have been getting questions lately about this new opportunity, so I 

thought I would address it here. About two months ago, I was hired 

through CBS Radio as a Promotions Coordinator for Top 40 station in 

Chicago This has been a dream come true. I used to listen to B96 

growing up my whole life, so working in that office and with the on-air 

personalities have been mind-blowing. Especially coming from my year 

with WLUW, I’ve found a new appreciation for the art of broadcast media, 

and how much it can connect listeners with music. Here’s some things 

about B96 I’ve noticed thus far: 

• I’ve met Nick Jonas, Becky G and the Silversun Pickups. 

• One of the afternoon hosts, Justin Roman, also is in a group with DJ 

Flipside who mixes at the 5:00PM hour (17:00 for all my non-American 

time users) called the Jumpsmokers. Their remix of Demi Lovato’s “Cool 

for the Summer” actually is track 14 on her new album! Congrats to them! 

• A previous coordinator, whose position I guess I took, is DJMissMeg. 

You HAVE to check out her Street Mixes on Soundcloud. Search her 

user ‘missdjmeg,’ we play her music at every event! 

Many more, but those are my top three. I just want to tell anyone out 

there, do not give up on what you truly are passionate about. The clich 

“don’t give up on your dreams” is too bland for me, if that were true I 

would be starring on Disney Channel right now. 

Follow what ignites that spark inside you, what makes you excited 

when you see it on paper, what you see other people doing and you do 

wish that you could have their job. Do what makes you happy, and 

don’t stop chasing that fire. Who knows what you could be talking 

about in a year… 

Let me know your passions! Tweet at us @AudiationMag, or at my 

personal @babygotbecker. Time goes on, don’t let it slip. Live nice, think 

big, have fun. 

Sarah's Thoughts11

London's Top Commercial Radio Station 

The RAJAR figures are in! They define the radio world with detailed quarterly 

statistics on each station's performance as well as listener behaviour. With the 

rise of digital streaming and other sources to listen to music, there is always a 

worry for radio keeping up with demands. However with the introduction of 

DAB and further connections to the digital world, radio is still of importance 

with this quarter 89% of the UK tuning in. Comparing this across a 5 year 

period, there has been a gradual decrease, and the majority tuning into digital. 

I find I use my radio apps & tune in player a lot more these days. The functions 

to listen back is very important also. What does this mean for the pirate 

stations? A lot have grabbed this chance to gain more listeners with having an 

online website and ability to listen digitally. Although there are millions of 

web radio's, the overall aim is still grounded to being the hottest station in 

their locations. 

Now how about London's commercials? The top two stations are very close, 

but the winner is.. KISS FM UK! 

Yes, our good friends at the Bauer-owned station are leading the way with 

2,099M listeners. Trailing behind at 2nd place is Capital with 2,086M listeners. 

Magic came 3rd with a marginally lower 1,711M listeners. In fact, 9 of the top 

10 digital commercial stations are of Bauer's. Their management team state 

that they have been driving a strong digital push, and this is certainly paying 

off. I even spot it everyday from KISS FM UK's socials, they interact with their 

audience in a fun way, and most importantly intergrate really well with 

current topics and events. 

Congratulations KISS!

Music Brings Hope To Refugees 

Al-Kamandjati music schools deserve a moment of praise in giving 

youngsters in Lebanon an artistic form of enjoyment. The founder 

himself had his life transformed through an opportunity to study music. 

He takes this as his duty to assist others in gaining the same opportunity. 

There is no question about the pain and suffering in these areas. The 

injection of music aims to bring a little beauty, hope and peace to young 

minds in a scary world.

Will Smith Returns To Music After A Decade 

A favourite personality to many, not only does 

he excude an enormous sense of joy in all he 

does, Will is without a doubt very humble man. 

We first met him as the fresh prince, he 

released tracks including "Boom! Shake the 

Room" and "Summertime", and of course more 

notable roles such as in Men In Black. 

"Fiesta" by Columbian dance act Bomba 

Estéreo gets a remix with featuring rap vocals 

from Will. The lyrics include English and 

Spanish language. Will first heard the track in 

Columbia and loved it's vibrancy so much that 

he wanted to guest on it. One member of 

Bomba Estéreo, Simón Mejia, was surprised to 

learn Will's thoughts stating, "it's not a 

traditional featuring -- it's just magic".

Music For Cats 

Is there anything that cats don't have? The feline 

addiction has stepped up to a new level with audio sounds 

designed specifically for cats. 

A member of the National Symphony Orchestra has 

teamed up with animal scientists to create a new series of 

sounds including squeaks and whirs which tunes into cats' 

brains and ear waves. A cat develops different hearing 

senses to us, and owners who simply turn on the radio 

aren't doing much for them. 

Some of the tracks in the series include bird chirps, and 

suckling sounds in order to be relaxing.

Can We Reunite Artful & Craig David? 

“7 Days”, “Fill Me In” and the notorious boink of “Rewind”! Craig David peaked 

in the early noughties with his smooth charm on a sexy UK Garage style. 

The artist has been flung back into the media attention with the recent BBC 

1xtra session with Mistajam’s #SixtyMinutes. The show was epic, and I do not 

use that word often! The Kurupt FM lads featured as well as Shola Ama, MC 

Vapour, Craig David and more. And wow Craig absolutely smashed it. He 

revealed two new tracks “Better Off Alone” and “Off My Mind”, as well as a 

new twist on “Fill Me In” dropping it into Diplo & Skrillex’s “Where Are You 

Now”. 

Going back to “Rewind”, which was and still is one of the most well-known 

UKG tracks ever. Still appealing to the crowd, just a few days ago when Artful 

played it out, the audience eagerly sung with the Bo’ Selecta! This phrase even 

inspired the Channel 4 series including a Craig David sketch. 

In a previous chat with Artful, he mentioned, “Craig and I had no idea it was 

gonna have the impact it did when we were working on it. It was important to 

us to enjoy the process and make a track that had loads of hooks in it so we 

literally threw everything at it and went for it in a big way.” 

With Artful working to an impeccable manner still after all these years, and a 

refreshed Craig David in the spotlight, we’d like to propose the two a 

challenge. Just 1 day in the studio, forget the world and any logic – simply 

have fun and vibe. We will be waiting eagerly to hear the results!

N E W M U S I C 

Leanne Louise & Rdubz - You're My 

Danger 

The sweet voice against a light and 

melodic beat, with the break offering 

a little edge with a lyrical interlude. 

MC Sel Jennifer O'Kane - Sweetheart 

(K Warren Remix) 

You know when you hear a K Warren 

edit, you’re going to get something 

good. This is no different, a little 

bumpiness and fresh bass 

accompanying the vocal blend of male 

edge and female sexiness. 

Indo R U Sleeping (Charles Jay Remix) 

A fresh take on the classic with edgy cuts, a 

lively beat and a deep bass tone. 

Charles Jay says: From the classic garage 

track to a modern day club smasher with 

deep dirty bass sounds and a garage 

influenced beat this is sure to get you in the 

mood for partying :)

Deep motivated waves 

What are the real feeling vibes in 

music? Can anybody describe 

emotions & feelings after listening 

some trippy deep chill vibes? Of 

course it is possible to ask this 

question to an ordinary music 

listener. Sounds of nature 

motivating you to some reaction & 

feelings. They could be positive & 

negative. Rude & loud sounds 

leading to negative mood, but some 

people prefer metal & rock. What is 

about chilled vibes? Can we 

approve that everyone like chilled 

tunes? Of course it is impossible. 

Interesting fact in the music 

industry: lounge, down tempo & 

chilled compilations sell out pretty 

good. What is the reason? Deep, 

calm, motivated tunes dissolve 

thoughts of human being & help to 

concentrate on basic work. Maybe 

that could be one of the main 

reasons. 

I want to talk about Visitacion music 

record label of the deep abstract 

ambient from Dallas USA. CEO of 

Visitacion music is Dallas based 

music producer & label owner 

(Embarcadero records, Muni 

records). Visitacion music releases 

music from the owner himself by 

different aliases. Here is the list of 

marketing aliases of Donald Wilborn 

releases: Donald Wilborn, Moroccan 

Lover, Inner Sanctum, Emi Murai, 

Castro Street Project, Jean Claude, 

West Portal, 808 Lounge, Presidio 

Kings, Seal Rocks, False Angel, Outer 

Mission. Visitacion Music is 

dedicated to deep, melodic and 

emotive sounds. Ordinary listener 

of EDM popular stuff will not 

understand the emotive crossover 

of Visitacion releases. Some music 

artists suggest that Visitacion music 

stuff is plain & monotone. It could 

be plain & monotone for listeners of 

pop music. These listeners should 

try to listen to this kind of music in 

headphones. I think they could 

change their opinion if they will try 

to feel the Visitacion vibes. Listening 

does not mean feeling. Feeling the 

mood of music composition & 

composer is not available to all 

listeners. Music composition 

basically dedicating to a certain 

period of life & listeners should feel 

this mood. Music is universal 

language contacting people all 

around the world from all 

continents.

Interview with New York based 

DJ & producer, Atragun. 

Supported by: Giuseppe Ottaviani,

Baroque, Hudson Terrace. 

Hello. Please present yourself. 

My name is Andrew LaFleur, better 

known as Atragun in the music 

world. I am DJ and Producer from 

the United States of America. 

Your first meeting with music, 

what kind of music was it? 

My first meeting with music was 

when I was about six years of age. 

I was signed up for piano lessons. 

I initially did not care for it, but after 

gaining some skill, I became 

obsessed with it. This then led to 

my passion for classical music at 

the time. I remember before 

venturing into the electronic 

world, wanting to be a classical 

music composer and conductor. 

How long have you been 

producing records? What do you 

prefer more DJing or producing? 

I have been producing since 2008 

in Logic (although I did experiment 

with Garageband for a bit in 2006). 

That is a very tough questions, it 

depends on my mood and the 

situation in my life. I guess 

if I had to pick just one, 

I’d pick producing as it 

tends to be in a more 

relaxed environment. 

What is music to 

you? 

To me music is 

something that is 

truly beautiful. It is 

something that 

keeps many of us 

going (myself 

included) in life. It is a 

concept that can 

bring people 

together in various 

ways. 

Your favorite 

record of all the 

time. Why is it 

your favorite 

record? 

I honestly don’t 

know if I could 

answer this one 

fully, as I have 

MANY records that 

20 


I hold in high regard. I guess if I had 

to choose just one, I’d choose Daft 

Punk - One More Time, as it was one 

of the first electronic songs I ever 

heard. I still listen to it to this day, 

a truly timeless classic! 

Your favorite artists of all the 

time. Why do you love production 

from this artist? 

Again, so many I could name! If I 

had to choose a few though, I’d 

choose Daft Punk, Armin Van 

Buuren, Akira Yamoaka, and Brian 

Eno. I love their productions 

because all of them had something 

special that set them apart from 

other artists. 

How you see music in the future? 

Which kind of electronic genre 

leading in future? 

It is very difficult to say at this point. 

I am hoping to see Trance sort out 

some of its problems and become 

dominant again (I do see this slowly 

happening as of now). Deep House 

seems to be what is popular as of 

now (which I have no problem). 

Overall, I wouldn’t mind seeing 

Electronic music in general go 

underground again. I feel that 

having it in the mainstream too long 

has somewhat tainted it. 

always changing! So we will have to 

see where I am in the future! I can 

assure you I will still be producing 

and DJing though! 

What can you tell to music 

producers and DJs just beginning? 

If you truly love music and DJing, 

Stick with it. Fight for your dream. It 

won’t happen overnight. Many of 

the accomplishments I am 

achieving at the moment are only 

just happening as of now, and I’ve 

been doing this for nearly a decade! 

Thank you for attention Atragun to 

our magazine! Good luck!

Natalie INDYA West & Sunny 

Andrea 

We introduce Natalie INDYA West and 

Sunny Andrea who have teamed up with 

The Next Room productions to create 

“Goddess”. This is the debut single for 

actress and model, Sunny Andrea, who 

has always had the desire to sing. The 

lyrics are written by Natalia INDYA West, 

who has developed in the industry with 

her Indie band, INDYA. The Next Room 

production team have worked some of 

the best including Kimberly Wyatt, 

Snoop Dogg, Alesha Dixon, Skepta and 

more. 

The upcoming single “Goddess” is a 

beautiful blend between Indian style 

and a deeper modern twist. Sweet, 

sultry tones against the flavourful 

rhythmic beat with dips into a darker, 

and quite risqué nature. 

In the lead up to the release, we grabbed 

the opportunity to speak with the 

goddesses themselves for Audiation 

Magazine.. 

The track "Goddess" is a fusion of 

Bollywood & Pop/Rock, what were the 

initial ideas for the creation of the 

track along with The Next Room 

production team? 

Sunny: The idea actually stemmed from 

all our creative sides and I am of course 

Indian, so we thought it would be a really 

nice idea to produce a track that covered 

the whole Bollywood/Indian sounds 

and include my heritage in it. I also feel 

that with the POP/R&B blend within the 

track, its definitely got something to it 

and something that is definitely missing 

from the music industry right now. I am 

in love with the track – it’s sexy, fun, 

fresh & something hopefully people will 

find quite catchy and enjoy listening to! 

It’s not in any way a ‘diva’ type track, so 

I am safe! But I can see it working well 

and fitting into the mainstream markets 

as well as British Asian markets. 

Natalia: The Next Room produced the 

music for the record and I have written 

the lyrics. I named the record “Goddess” 

as Sunny Andrea is from an Indian family 

and she reminded me of an Indian 

princess, as she’s so beautiful. So I 

wanted to make the song magical, soft 

and Bollywood designed especially for 

her. I got together with The Next Room 

to discuss and we all went away and did 

our homework... and eventually came up 

with this! 

How did you all meet each other and 

get to working together? 

Sunny: Natalie and I have the same 

manager/agent and so we were 

introduced that way. I love modelling 

and acting, but doing a track was always 

something I had wanted to do and what 

a perfect opportunity I was given when 

I was informed about The Next Room and 

Natalie Indya West.. It was an 

opportunity for me that I couldn’t turn 

down and I am just so excited and lucky 

to be working with such a lovely yet 

creative team! I love working on new 

projects and this is something I can really 

enjoy and get into and have fun with! 

Natalie: I met Sunny as we are under the 

same management (Zoie Wainwright) 

Zoie initiated the meet with The Next 

Room and myself. Sunny wanted a 

record written for her, so they asked me.

Sunny, you grew up with an outgoing 

personality wanting to perform 

whenever you had the opportunity. 

What is it about being in the spotlight 

and showcasing your talent that you 

love? 

I think you either want this and you have 

it in you, or you don’t. I used to be quite 

shy when I was a lot younger but then 

as I grew up, I opened up and really 

wanted to do something within the 

entertainment industry. For me, even 

though I had studied and had training, 

acting is a very natural thing as is 

modelling and being in front of the 

camera whenever I have the chance. I 

just enjoy it, have fun with it and really 

love working with creative teams of 

people and producing a fab end result! 

Singing is something I want to work on 

but this track suits me perfectly! I am 

always myself and I think it’s important 

to never forget who you are and where 

you have come from and the people who 

have always been there for you. I enjoy 

performances and playing different 

characters and making people smile. It 

also stretches my skillset and I am 

forever learning. Showcasing talent is 

always a great feeling. 

Natalie, you and your mother are both 

creative individuals, how did you get 

into performing and music? 

I studied music at the Brit school, and 

then went onto Colin’s Performing Arts 

in Essex...hence the eEsex accent!! I have 

always been musical since the age of 4!! 

I have always dreamed of being a singer/ 

songwriter. My mum loves music and 

she brought us up on all the old bands 

such as Rainbow and Deep Purple & Dire 

Straits. She had great taste. I think this 

inspired me to be a rocker n roller! lol 

Sunny, this is your debut single! How 

do you feel about the experience of 

singing and hearing your voice on a 

great track? 

I am definitely nervous but at the same 

time so excited! I know I have an amazing 

team of support and people to coach and 

help me along the way if I need it. But 

no, definitely excited about this and it’s 

something I wouldn’t have agreed to if 

I knew I couldn’t do it. Hearing my voice 

on the finished track will be a little 

surreal but I will definitely be proud of 

it, I have to be and want to be, so I just 

hope and pray that everyone else likes 

it as much as we do. 

Natalie, you wrote the lyrics for 

"Goddess", how do you find inspiration 

when writing? 

Yes I wrote the lyrics for “Goddess”. I 

actually have to be on my own in my log 

cabin and light all my candles, coffee, 

redbull and my thesaurus. I use 

brainstorms and link words etc.. I have 

to have the right ambience in the room 

to be able to focus. 

Sunny, you have an Indian family 

background and have brought this 

influence into your sound. Which 

vocalists do you admire the most? 


I have to say that I love many genres of 

music and artistes out there. For me 

personally though, my favourite genres 

are Pop, R&B, I love my musicals and I 

enjoy the 80s! Vocally, I am totally in 

love with the likes of artistes such as 

the greats Celine Dion, Whitney 

Houston, Michael Jackson…And others 

more recent like Westlife, Christina 

Aguilera, Usher, The Saturdays, Ed 

Sheeran and others. The industry has 

many great artistes, with all varied vocal 

ranges, but it’s nice to see everyone 

working hard and going places! I also 

give huge credit to the likes of Simon 

Cowell and Louis Walsh for the talent 

they spot and sign up. Those men know 

their stuff! 

Natalie, tell us about your upcoming 

news. 

I'm interviewing Chris Andre tomorrow 

night!! Also I'm flying to tenerife as I am 

being Interviewed Saturday on ocean 

FM and it's the launch of Goddess! It will 

hit the Canary Islands! 

Sunny, you had a love of animals and 

previously wanted to be a vet! If you 

could be any animal, what would it be 

and why? 

Yes, I do love animals, mainly dogs! My 

husband Danny and I have a beautiful 

puggle- she is called Peggy! She is just 

the best, such a cheeky but loving little 

girl! I would love to be a black panther 

or Jaguar or something, as they look 

amazing, they have a gorgeous warm 

coat as I am ALWAYS cold and they’re 

fast – I love exploring so I could be like 

Queen of the land and see the places I 

want to see! They’re stunning animals! 

Natalie, you've recently joined 

Southstar radio with your own show 

playing Indie & Rock. How do you feel 

about experiencing radio and live 

shows? 

I feel really pleased and proud to be a 

DJ on Southstar. I’ve been given a 

fantastic opportunity to shine and I’m 

loving it!! I love the music and talking to 

people on the show, I love interacting 

with listeners. I hope to get better as I 

get more experienced and hopefully 

still be around for when Southstar 

become an FM station 

You've both appeared on TV and have a 

growing media & music presence, what 

is the best advice you could give to 

music and media enthusiasts wanting 

to be successful in these career fields? 

Sunny: Never ever give up! It’s such a 

tough industry as everyone knows, and 

I know that I am forever working hard to 

get places and there are still so many 

things I would love to do acting wise, 

modelling and singing… But 

determination is key, network, try and 

get as much experience, even if it’s 

unpaid at the start. Be nice to people and 

just keep going! 

23

24 

Natalie: Never give up!! If you want 

something bad then you will not stop 

until you have it. Sheer determination 

and drive is what takes you there. You 

get haters, you have to ignore them and 

push on. You also have to invest to get 

anywhere. I’ve spent thousands on my 

music making records. It doesn’t just 

happen overnight. 

What do you both get up to when 

you're not working? 

Sunny: I love spending time with my 

husband and my mum and dad.. Just 

being with family in general really. I love 

catching up with my friends, going out, 

shopping, heading to the cinema, going 

on holidays when we can and just 

enjoying life together. 

Natalie: I go to the gym and swimming 

a lot! I hang out with friends a lot too. 

But to be honest I’m always working!! 

What have you both got planned for 

the future? 

Sunny: I have secured a part in a 4 part 

TV series called The Love of Ella. It’s 

directed by the fabulous Simon Golding 

and I play the part of Shelly Stevens. It’s 

a great comedy storyline, with a fab cast 

attached to it! Again, I am very excited 

about this as I LOVE acting and I cannot 

wait to get into rehearsals and start 

filming towards the new year. I am a 

HUGE soap fan, so for me, something 

like Eastenders, Corrie or Holby City is 

right up my street – the cast are fab and 

I am seeing more and more Asians on 

TV now, so I can only hope and pray they 

see my work and call me. Haha! I would 

love to work on any projects really that 

people think I am suited for- so whether 

this may be in Film, TV or Modelling or 

even more Music?! I am ready for it! 

Natalie: I hope to get bigger with the 

band and succeed with the music and as 

a DJ. I also want to work with other artists 

on records. I would love to write for 

Madonna!!

Having been released a few years ago with various remixes, this new Disco 

House 2015 edit, as featured in Tiesto's Club Life 443 podcast, is by far the best 

version. It has a fresh sound and attitude, yet still keeping the flavourful beats. 

Who can say no to a brand new Disco House Mix of one of Manufactured 

Superstar’s biggest chart hits together with Scarlett Quinn? We certainly love 

this 2015 update of Take Me Over and we're sure you will too! So jump on that 

dancefloor and get moving! Out now on Magik Muzik. 

25

SCRUTINISING THE 

1. Adele - Hello 

Well this chart-topper isn't much of a suprise as 

Adele's new release was highly anticipated and the 

press have been going crazy over the single. Her voice 

is great and she is a fav for Britain, one of the funniest 

thoughts though is that her music will make you wish 

you'd spoken to that randomer on the train you briefly 

made eye contact with last month! 

2. Justin Bieber - Sorry 

Is it annoying that some of his songs are actually rather 

catchy now. This track though is just typical and so 

easy to come up with, the male wanting attitude, the 

predictable pop sounds and rhythmic beat. 

3. Drake - Hotline Bling 

Breaking this one down it's just a simple tune and well, 

is actually quite dull - let's face it, if this wasn't by 

Drake, it would not be on the charts (although that 

could be said about a lot of the chart tunes). The only 

part I like is the climbing of his vocals in some parts. 

4. Sam Smith - Writing's On The Wall 

This is a mixed bag, the ranges and tones differ 

throughout, which is why it makes a great track with a 

lot of interest. 

5. The Weeknd - The Hills 

This one is really nice with a dark atmospheric tone 

and hazy driving vocals - especially love the Eminem 

version. 

26 


THE CHARTS 

6. KDA ft Tinie Tempah & Katy B - Turn The 

Music Louder (Rumble) 

As featured in the previous magazine edition, this is 

one of our favs as is a lot of Katy B's catalogue. Fresh 

sounds and contrasts along a fun track. 

7. Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean 

Another one for the Biebster, this I've heard so much 

and is catchy enough that I actually like it a little.. 

8. Naughty Boy ft Beyonce & A Benjamin - 

Runnin' (Lose It All) 

Beyonce fans unite, this shows that she can really flow 

with the times, although her best work is the older 

material. The track is actually another dull one 

breaking it down, but it's appealing to general listeners 

and is alright. 

9. One Direction - Perfect 

Not feeling this, it's just an any-old modern boyband 

track really - pretty forgettable. 

10. Jamie Lawson - Wasn't Expecting That 

It's quite nice to have something that isn't electronic in 

the charts. Simple guitar and piano chords 

accompanying a lovely male voice. 

What track's are you enjoying at the moment?

Keys N Krates - Save Me feat. Katy B (Wuki Remix) 

As featured on the UKF podcast #71 by Stanton Warriors. This edit by Wuki is 

pretty gnarly when the drop kicks in, but I love the lead ups with the vocals and 

bass progression. 

Keys N Krates acclaimed single "Save Me" receives three remixes of epic 

proportions from Wuki, Naderi, and STFU. Utilizing the sultry vocals of UK's Katy 

B, each remixer crafts their own unique twist on the original in a futuristic fury 

of genre-bending sounds. In a frenetic, dirty rework primed for the mainstage, 

Wuki brilliantly intersperses Katy's dreamy voice with boisterous vocal chants 

before unleashing a trap-infused drop. Naderi takes a more cinematic future 

bass route, implementing rolling hi hats and dramatically pitched vocal tones. 

Finally, STFU bulldozes the genre boundary with a trippy rendition filled with 

funky basslines and a half-time drop that will have your jaw down to your 

knees. Out now on Dim Mak Records.

The Rise Of Tropical House 

With Winter fast approching us 

in the UK, I thought I'd take us 

back to the sunshine of Summer 

2015. Tropical House went 

mainstream with two of the 

biggest Pop hits: Lost 

Frequencies 'Are You with me' 

getting to no 1 in the UK, Germany 

and Spain. And 20 year-old Felix 

Jaehn with his saxophone 

infused remix of OMI's 

'Cheerleader' Which became a 

top ten in Over 20 different 

countries. 

Also With The likes of Kygo 

breaking into the UK and 

European Pop charts with hits 

including 'Firestone' ft Conrad, 

'Stole The Show', and more 

recently teaming up with one of 

the UK’s biggest female singers, 

Ella Henderson with their 

collaboration 'Here For You'. 

Everyone by now has heard of 

Tropical House even if they didn’t 

know what it was called to begin 

with. This 23 year-old classically 

trained musician has clocked up 

well over 200 million plays on 

Soundcloud alone and has signed 

a deal with Ultra and Sony 

International, The rise of this 

genre is best described as a mix 

of Deep House, House and 

Chillout to some people, it's fluffy 

and has little edge. But to others 

(including myself) it's a breath of 

fresh air to clubbers and ravers 

that are getting tired of the harder 

EDM genres and need something 

a little more soothing in their life 

and are looking for a more 

relaxing laidback slower sound to 

chill out to. 

Most People probably think of 

Spring 2014 when Robin Shultz 

remixed 'Waves' by Mr Probz. This 

became probably the biggest 

worldwide hit in that year and as 

the first time they heard Tropical 

House. 

But the sound was pioneered by 

Australian Producer & DJ Thomas 

Jack who actually came up with 

the name as a joke, It had been 

bubbling under the surface for 

29

30 


a few years and now at the stage 

of it being one of the biggest new 

Dance scenes in recent times. 

With Thomas Jack recently 

announcing the first all Tropical 

House Tour, these events will be 

supported by other well known 

and up-and-coming artists in the 

scene including: Bag Raiders, 

Bixel Boys, Felix Jaehn, SNBRN, 

and many more. The tour kicks off 

in the USA only at present with 

the first dates being 20th & 21st 

Nov 2015 in San Fransisco, Nov 

22nd in San Diego, Nov 22nd & 

27th in the Fonda Theatre - A 

great venue that holds well over 

a thousand people that I've been 

lucky enough to headline as a DJ 

some years back.. Complete with 

roof terrace overlooking some of 

LA downtown skyscrapers and 

nightlife. Then onto Washington 

Dc on 4th Dec before finishing on 

5th Dec in New York City. 

have broken into the UK Pop 

charts over 2015 include 

Bakermat, Klangkarussell and 

Kingande. So with the likes of 

Calvin Harris and Skrillex starting 

to bring out tracks and remixes 

with a Tropical vibe, I can only see 

this sound getter bigger and 

bigger in the very near future. 

Especially with Justin Bieber's 

Tropical Infused 'what Do You 

Mean' having being produced by 

Skrillex, it's only going to get 

bigger.. Did I just mention Justin 

Bieber? 

And if you thought Tropical House 

was just another fad genre made 

by talentless kids in their 

bedrooms with laptops, I urge you 

to check out one of Kygo’s live 

lounge performances.

MAURITIUS

Alalila. Mauritian expression meaning "Here it is". It is the start 

of a new adventure and I would love to share some of our local 

musical goodies. Even though we have our traditional Sega (part 

of Unesco Mankind Heritage since 2014) which has evolved in 

various forms, we have Mauritian artists performing other genres. 

It is blooming on that side and the creations are of appreciable 

standards. The only question mark is the future of the music 

industry here. We are somehow lagging behind, but things are 

starting to shape up and we hope that the way it is being steered 

can prove right for all stakeholders of the industry. One proof of 

Mauritian talent is Christophe Rey. Have a peek at his SoundCloud 

with song "Better Make A Better Plan". It wraps up the actual 

situation of the industry and sure, we need a better plan for the 

Mauritian music as the formal way does not work. If not by 

concerned authorities, we can drive the change by supporting 

the artists at our ends.

International Dance music DJ and 

fashion icon, Mary Jane is certainly one 

to watch in the creative industry. 

Originating from Ukraine, she is now 

exploring the world with her Global 

Sensation brand. One location that she 

is particularly excited to be performing 

soon is the beautiful island of Mauritius. 

The event is hosted by Purple Agency 

and Ciroc vodka, it is set to be a clubbing 

sensation with local DJs, a live band and 

a great atmosphere. With her career at 

a high peak, we took the opportunity to 

chat with Mary Jane.. 

How did you get into music and DJ'ing? 

The beginning of my love for music was 

born at 8 years old, I went to a music 

school in the class of piano! At the age 

of 13 years old, when my brother was 

studying different music programs - I 

was interested too ... 

One day I was offered to try myself in 

DJing and I decided to do it, at the same 

time I met my manager and my journey 

began. 

What is the music industry like in 

Ukraine and what does it offer to music 

lovers? 

There are very hard times for the music 

industry in Ukraine. There are a lot of 

good artists, but they are not in demand 

here. There are a lot of people who know 

the music industry and have good tastes 

for it also, and people who attend many 

festivals abroad! Due to the economic 

and political situation and war In 

Ukraine, there is no possibility for 

development in this direction. Only Pop 

music lives. 

You will be DJ'ing in Mauritius on 7th 

November, what are you expecting 

from the island crowd? 

I will come to Mauritius for the first time! 

I've heard a lot about the local culture 

and friendship. I hope to find a lot of fans 

of my music and just to make people 

happy... But the most important things: 

I wish they sing with me, dance with me 

and fall in my sound with a happy mood 

every minute of my performance. 

34 


MUSIC 

IS MY 

LIFE 

35

You have a fun and striking fashion 

style, where are your favourite 

places to shop and find inspiration? 

All girls like shopping! Bumble Bee are 

doing good with a lot of clothes brands, 

also really nice caps from Upfront 

company. My exlusive brand called MJ 

Exclusive is coming soon with very nice 

designs for girls. I like to combine styles! 

By the way I'm very beautiful in any 

clothes: Gucci, Zara, Karen Miller, 

Gabbana... for me all clothes are good 

if I like to see it with me in the mirror, 

but I really like shopping. 

As for my inspiration - sea and the ocean 

are my favorite places, where you can 

hear the sound of water. 

Who are your music inspirations? 

Tiesto, John Dish, Fedde le Grand, Armin 

van Buuren, Benny Benassi and many 

more... 

What does it take to be a big 

international DJ? 

- to work hard and to look for their own 

style, 

- to love the music and do not give up in 

case of failure, 

- to love trips and to sleep a little :)

Saturday 24th October, 

Grand Baie, Mauritius played 

host to international Techno DJ 

Enrico Sanguiliano as well as others. 

This being hosted by Secret Models 

Ltd and the closing party for club 

venue Les Enfants Terribles. The 

venue has been a prominent 

location for some of the biggest club 

nights for the island. Although this 

is a sad moment, it makes way for 

the launch of a brand new venue of 

which will comprise of a bar, 

resteraunt and club. 

The event was a huge success, 

exceeding LET's capacity and 

closing at 10am! We sent along our 

reps for the night who had a "blast"! 

Many thanks go to Shahir and Awad. 

Never thought Mauritian people 

have enjoyed Techno that much. 

So many people and amazing 

music! Great DJ, great night. Music 

was still playing in my head the 

following day! 

Enrico Sanguiliano 

Tell us a bit about yourself, your 

background and how you got into 

music. 

I was really young, I started playing 

on my desk while studying at school. 

Then my desk became drumkit.. Then 

I discovered that with computers, I 

could create something new, 

different from reality. And then I 

started making noise with big PCs. 

After 10 years 


dropping my music into rave 

parties, I thought okay let's send 

this to some labels, and then it 

started. So I played, in the last 10 

years, the biggest parties in Italy 

and then I started to move accross 

Europe and beyond. 

What did you think of the event 

tonight and the Mauritian crowd? 

Really responsive crowd, I see 

really powerful reaction and great 

minds. 

What can we expect to see from 

you in the future? 

Regarding dates , i'm going to 

Australia next week and i'm going 

to Slovenia, Bulgaria and then Italy 

- I'm Italian but I have to say Italy! 

I'm playing accross Europe, It's 

good because it means that people 

are reacting in a good way, 

Pratyush, Secret Models 

This is the first underground 

event in Mauritius with Secret 

Models, what were the initial 

ideas and how do you think it’s 

going? 

Initally I was tagged as a commercial 

promoter, the last couple of shows 

that are commercial with a basic 

genre of music I wanted to do. But 

there was a certain situation that 

pushed me to say let's try to do 

underground. I think it's like 5 in the 

morning and 

we still have people 

around. For the first 

underground party on 

the 24th of the month, 

I think it's a huge 

success for me. 

What do you have 

planned for the 

future? 

For the moment, I'm 

taking a break for two 

months and I really 

want to resharpen my 

energy but I'm coming 

back in January with a 

really really really big 

one. This guy is actually 

the childhood dream 

of a lot of promoters. 

I've already signed him 

and I'm not going to say 

anything more! 

Next event: 09.01.16
