REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE<br />

THANKFUL FOR MUSIC<br />

1. It had made you dance as if no one was watching, even if<br />

someone was watching, or no one was actually watching (can I get<br />

a singing in the shower?!)<br />

2. It has made you cry when you really needed to, and has given<br />

you the feeling that someone else understands<br />

3. It has given you an experience where you forget everything<br />

happening in the world, and you are able to enjoy the NOW<br />

4. It has connected you with other people, whether online or in<br />

person. Someone else likes the sounds you enjoy, and it brings us<br />

together in human nature<br />

5. It has passed the time, whether on a train to work or a long car<br />

ride. Music can shape someone’s day<br />

6. We plan parts of our future based on music – what song will be<br />

the first dance, what song will be played at our funeral. Heck, that<br />

music may not have even been written yet.<br />

7. It gives you adrenaline, whether you are about to crush a work<br />

out, pass a test, ace an interview, or ask that person out, music can<br />

give us a state of mind where we can conquer anything<br />

8. It makes life more romantic – can you imagine love scenes in<br />

movies without music? That would be awkward, in my opinion.<br />

Not only movies, those slow dances in real life made the moment<br />

that much more sweet with the right romantic song paired to it<br />

9. It holds memories – there are some songs out there that have<br />

the power to instantly smile or cringe, depending on whatever<br />

personal memory you have attached to it.<br />

10. It is one of the only things that IS for everybody. I have yet to<br />

meet one person that hates music. There is a genre for every<br />

person, trait, race, sexuality, religion, personality type, and is a key<br />

ingredient to uniting us all as one.<br />

Introducing the Indian artist who is<br />

bringing his A game to the electronic<br />

music scene. ADGRMS has a fresh and<br />

modern take on music, all of his<br />

productions are clean-cut and really<br />

stand out. We got to speak to<br />

ADGRMS about his career so far…<br />

Tell us about yourself and how you<br />

started in music?<br />

I’m a super average 20-year-old guy<br />

who loves to make music & meet new<br />

people. I recently dropped out of<br />

college & decided to take my career<br />

as an artist very very seriously. I<br />

started making music about 6 years<br />

back while I was still in school. I was<br />

an aggressive music listener and I<br />

loved playing new music for my<br />

friends. Then came a day that I<br />

attended a `Tiesto’ concert in my city,<br />

which was also my first ever<br />

experience of a concert. I would say,<br />

that changed a lot of things for me.<br />

It affected my perception of a DJ,<br />

producer and a performer in a huge<br />

way. I think that is when I decided to<br />

make music. I started learning FL<br />

Studio via youtube which I still use<br />

for making music along with Apple<br />

Logic Pro X! Phew, I think that’s a lot<br />

of info, to begin with haha!<br />

What does your artist name<br />

"ADGRMS" mean?<br />

“ADGRMS” is actually only the short<br />

form for “Audio Germs” which was<br />

how this project started. To explain<br />

why “Audio” because that’s what I<br />

make and “Germs” because they<br />

spread even if you don’t want them<br />

to. So the ultimate goal is to keep<br />

making audio that spreads like germs<br />

haha.<br />

Your music is quite futuristic and<br />

upbeat, where do get your<br />

inspiration from?<br />

I think I love to make whatever I can<br />

vibe to, no matter what genre or<br />

tempo it is. My inspiration comes<br />

from a lot of places. I like to lock<br />

myself down for a few days or months<br />

in the studio and just create music,<br />

without thinking about how, when or<br />

where I would put it out. During this<br />

time, I watch a lot of Netflix and spend<br />

some time alone. Helps me figure out<br />

what I want to do next.<br />

Tell us about the creation of 'My Girl'<br />

and how you came to work with Jinco<br />

and Burnheart.<br />

My girl was a very special<br />

collaboration! Me & Jeremy (Jinco)<br />

had friends in common and we came<br />

across each other via Facebook &<br />

decided to make music together. We<br />

worked via sharing stems on e-mail<br />

and that is how ‘My Girl’ was created.<br />

I think Burnheart did a great job on<br />

the vocals, which is one of the major<br />

reasons for the track being a success!<br />

ADGRMS proudly releases his new single ‘My Girl’, produced with Jinco<br />

featuring vocals from Burnheart, on Spinnin’ Records. The emotive song is<br />

a intriguing blend of enchanting strings, strong rock-inspired percussion,<br />

and a grungy vocal. Then, we drop into a modern-day electronic section.<br />

What was your first thought when<br />

you found out it would be released<br />

on Spinnin' Records?<br />

This is actually a funny story. So, me<br />

& my manager are also best friends<br />

so we keep having arguments on a<br />

lot of things, haha! So we were<br />

prepping for our IELTS exam<br />

(International language test) and we<br />

got into a heated argument and we<br />

didn’t talk to each other lol. I would<br />

refuse to call or text him and then he<br />

calls me out of nowhere and gives<br />

me the Spinnin’ News! Spinnin’ is<br />

obviously a HUGE platform and<br />

practically a dream label for every<br />

electronic music producer. I was<br />

super happy and excited for what was<br />

coming in. So Spinnin’ Records<br />

technically made me super happy<br />

and got me & Yash (My Manager)<br />

excitedly laughing about it lol.<br />

What are the aims of your Infected<br />

Radio series?<br />

I think ‘Infected Radio’ is a great<br />

platform for me to interact with my<br />

listeners! It’s been a while that I have<br />

been able to put up new episodes but<br />

trust me, It’s coming really soon. My<br />

aims in particular for the podcast<br />

would be to feature as many talented<br />

producers as I can and have the<br />

podcast played by every electronic<br />

music fanatic in India!<br />

What does music mean to you?<br />

I think music means everything to me,<br />

everything that I am today or will be<br />

tomorrow is and will be because of<br />

music. I love listening to music -<br />

Irrespective of its genres and making<br />

music is what I do. I don’t know how<br />

more to answer this question, sorry<br />

haha.<br />

14 www.AudationMagazine.com


Being from India, what can you say<br />

about the music industry there and<br />

how you have been able to connect<br />

to the worldwide industry?<br />

I think the Indian music industry is<br />

HUGE! I would not be surprised if<br />

India will be declared as the dance<br />

capital of the world in near future.<br />

There have been so many big names<br />

doing India tours all around the year<br />

and it only gets more exciting. India<br />

has the largest youth in the world,<br />

most of which are heavily into<br />

electronic music. I think with so much<br />

exposure, comes along a lot of<br />

market saturation in all areas. I see<br />

so many young producers from India<br />

making AWESOME music and I try to<br />

do everything I can to support and<br />

appreciate them! I think with the help<br />

of social media, it is not very tough<br />

to connect with the world. Generate<br />

relevant content, learn about digital<br />

marketing and make the best use of<br />

it!<br />

As part of the new generation, at just<br />

20 years old, what would your<br />

advice be to young people who want<br />

to go far?<br />

I have been waiting to answer this<br />

question for a while! There are a lot<br />

of misconceptions amongst people<br />

that are just starting out their career<br />

as an artist, most of which I was able<br />

to figure out only after a few years of<br />

only making music already. A few<br />

things that I feel have helped me a<br />

lot growing up are as follows.<br />

1. Be a part of music production<br />

groups on Facebook, they help you<br />

widen your “producer friends” circle.<br />

2. Add a lot of industry professionals<br />

on Facebook and try to interact with<br />

them. Helps them discover or<br />

remember you by your name - This<br />

can come in handy when you least<br />

expect them to!<br />

3. DO NOT SEND unfinished demos or<br />

promos to labels or artists. Spend<br />

time on your music, take creative<br />

references and feedbacks from your<br />

producer friends, have the track<br />

professionally mixed & mastered (if<br />

you’re not sure to do it yourself),<br />

create a pre-release and post-release<br />

“plan” before even sending it out to<br />

labels. Remember, all your tracks are<br />

your “products” - the last thing you<br />

want is for your product to not be as<br />

good as the market standards.<br />

4. Attend music conferences and<br />

events around you, It’s a good way to<br />

meet people you have been in touch<br />

with on Facebook. This gives you the<br />

15


opportunity to connect with them on<br />

a personal level. More than just<br />

business, I have made some great<br />

friends at such events.<br />

5. Consider your career to be a<br />

business and your music to be your<br />

product. Now all you have to figure<br />

out is “How to sell your product”.<br />

Learn about business principles, they<br />

are really helpful. Know the<br />

chemistry (your music), Know the<br />

business (the music industry) and<br />

know a guy who knows another guy<br />

(networking)!<br />

What is the funniest incident that<br />

has happened to you at a gig of<br />

yours?<br />

Hahaha, there have been many but<br />

this one tops the list! So I was playing<br />

a show a few months back in Mumbai<br />

and the club had a setup of 4 players<br />

and 1 mixer. So while the track was<br />

playing on a player, it was tough for<br />

me to reach the other player on the<br />

other end so I asked Yash to hit the<br />

play button on that player so I could<br />

mix the next track in right after, but<br />

'in the moment' I forgot that the track<br />

which was audible to the crowd was<br />

the player that Yash was gonna hit<br />

play on. So right after the build-up<br />

when everyone was expecting the<br />

drop, Yash hit the “cue” button and<br />

there was complete silence at the<br />

club. All I could hear was<br />

disappointed people lol, so I held the<br />

mic, cued the track again to the build<br />

up and took it from there. This sure<br />

made us all laugh after the gig haha!<br />

What a confusing answer lol<br />

Tell us about your aims for the<br />

future, and do you have anything<br />

coming up such as shows or releases?<br />

One of my major goals in the coming<br />

months is to have a lot of tracks in my<br />

discography! I have a lot of<br />

unreleased music and I can’t wait to<br />

show it to everyone! Some of the ones<br />

you can expect sooner than others<br />

would be my single with the<br />

Manchester-based John Thacker (one<br />

of my fav singers) called “Safe &<br />

Sound” and a very special collab with<br />

one of my best friends in the Indian<br />

music industry!<br />

COPYRIGHT LAW ISSUES REGARDING COVER SONGS<br />

If an artist wants to make a cover, he/<br />

she must ask an owner of the song or<br />

a management of an artist a<br />

permission to make a cover. Then,<br />

agreements are signed. Otherwise if<br />

an artist copies another’s work and<br />

pass it off as her/his own, then they’re<br />

guilty of plagiarism, unless they can<br />

show that the similarity was<br />

completely coincidental and that<br />

there was no way that he/she could<br />

have heard the work they’re accused<br />

of copying. There is a very fine line<br />

to be drawn between sound-alikes,<br />

parody and plagiarism.<br />

There are numerous of cases when<br />

well-known artists receive lawsuits<br />

because they used someone’s<br />

original riffs, rhythm, melodies,<br />

arrangements, thus sometimes even<br />

similarities between songs may be<br />

insubstantial, or just due to<br />

serendipity. For example, the $5.3<br />

million punishment against Robin<br />

Thicke and Pharrell Williams for<br />

infringing Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give<br />

It Up" to create "Blurred Lines" made<br />

quite a loud noise throughout the<br />

music industry."Blurred Lines" by<br />

Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams<br />

was released in 2013. Two years<br />

later, the song made the headlines as<br />

a case of plagiarism. The initial claims<br />

were talking about the overall sound<br />

being similar to "Got To Give It Up",<br />

a song released by Marvin Gaye in<br />

1977. Eight details of similarity of<br />

the songs were discovered, five of<br />

those details related to the melodies,<br />

one to the melody of the bassline and<br />

two to the arrangement. In this case<br />

this trial is unique, because subtle<br />

signs of inspiration were presented<br />

as "substantial similarities" then<br />

blown up to direct one-to-one copies.<br />

The jury decision in the "Blurred<br />

Lines" case defies the traditional<br />

legal understanding of music<br />

copyright, according to a number of<br />

legal experts. In the past, you've<br />

generally had to show that a song<br />

copied a series of notes, as in a<br />

melody or a set of lyrics, in order to<br />

prove copyright infringement. The<br />

problem is "Blurred Lines" doesn't rip<br />

either of those from the Gaye song.<br />

Instead, it has a "vibe" close to that<br />

of "Got to Give It Up," owing to their<br />

similar rhythm pattern and certain<br />

production choices like voices<br />

murmuring in the back of the mix. And<br />

vibe was not something you used to<br />

be able to put on trial.<br />

On Friday 6 October 2017, the 9th<br />

Circuit Court of Appeals has heard<br />

oral arguments in the appeal of the<br />

"Blurred Lines" lawsuit. During the<br />

appeal a legal error was argued. It<br />

should be noted that before the<br />

mid-1970s, sound recordings<br />

weren't protectable under copyright<br />

law. Congress changed that, but<br />

19


given that Gaye's "Got to Give It Up"<br />

was one of the last songs before the<br />

legislative change went into effect,<br />

his family was forced to litigate the<br />

"Blurred Lines" case under a certain<br />

disadvantage that no modern music<br />

creator would today face. Only<br />

protectable elements were given<br />

weight — and according to U.S.<br />

District Judge John Kronstadt, that<br />

meant forgoing any analysis of<br />

Gaye's original "Got to Give It Up"<br />

recording. Instead, what's<br />

protectable is whatever was<br />

expressed by the sheet music<br />

deposited at the U.S. Copyright<br />

Office. Jurors never got to hear Gaye's<br />

original song. Instead, each side had<br />

musicologists testifying about that<br />

sheet music and whether there was<br />

any substantial similarity.<br />

According to the Gayes, regardless of<br />

the fact that sound recordings<br />

weren't protected under the 1909<br />

Copyright Act, what the iconic<br />

Motown musician actually created<br />

provides the best evidence of what<br />

was copyrighted.<br />

Can the class of "substantial<br />

similarities" be narrowed down?<br />

Unless these questions are clarified,<br />

judgements will inevitably tend to<br />

be unclear. There are already<br />

working algorithms for melody<br />

recognition that are combined with<br />

an extensive database of music (for<br />

example, midi-files). There have<br />

been experiments running for<br />

implementing a software detecting<br />

signs of plagiarism. However, since<br />

the criteria are hard to compile and<br />

even hard to get accepted, quick<br />

results are not to be expected.<br />

For example, Fraunhofer IDMT's<br />

(Fraunhofer Institute for Digital<br />

Media Technology IDMT in Ilmenau)<br />

"PlagiarismAnalyzer" detects<br />

identical melodies and samples<br />

(whole portions of a song) in a matter<br />

of seconds. To do this, mathematical<br />

algorithms identify the tonal<br />

spectrum of the copy and the original<br />

and then compare the two.<br />

In the UK, as in the USA, a copyright<br />

is secured when something is fixed<br />

in tangible form. Unlike in the USA,<br />

there is no need for registration, and<br />

in fact there is no registration<br />

procedure. It’s not a bad idea,<br />

however, to mail a recording of the<br />

song to yourself, or to your solicitor,<br />

to prove the date on which it was<br />

created.<br />

In general, when a cover song is<br />

performed in public place without<br />

any permission, then a venue is the<br />

one, who’s responsible for using the<br />

cover song. And it should pay<br />

royalties to the owner of the song for<br />

the fact that his/her song was used<br />

during the performance.<br />

Every songwriter shall register his/<br />

her songs in songwriting<br />

organizations such as BMI, ASCAP,<br />

SESAC etc. to guarantee that it’s his/<br />

her work and get publishing and<br />

mechanical royalties. It is made to<br />

help you track your recordings and<br />

to get performing royalties from<br />

every time your recording was<br />

digitally used (for example, internet<br />

radio, streaming services) or publicly<br />

performed.<br />

Youtube has an implemented<br />

program that defines the song, which<br />

is being used in the video. If it’s a<br />

cover song then Youtube notifies an<br />

owner of the song (or a publisher,<br />

who represents the rights of an<br />

owner) about the fact that his/her<br />

song was used. Such case has no law<br />

infringement, because when setting<br />

Youtube account the owner can<br />

choose to give a permission to use<br />

the recording and get revenue from<br />

cover song through ads or to block a<br />

cover video (Youtube then will notify<br />

that cover video infringe the owner’s<br />

rights and the cover video will be no<br />

longer seen in public). Facebook also<br />

has such implemented program, but<br />

it identifies and deletes cover videos.<br />

Facebook so far do not permit to<br />

share cover videos.<br />

George Michael: Live in London<br />

George Michael: Freedom<br />

The 1 x 90' newly commissioned film will be a very personal<br />

documentary revealing how the boy from north London became<br />

one of the most influential recording artists of all time and<br />

helped to re-write the rules of the music industry and celebrity.<br />

The success of his first solo album Faith resulted in him<br />

becoming one of the few artists who could shift millions of<br />

albums worldwide. This was a dream scenario for the label but<br />

he had different plans. This resulted in a difference in opinion<br />

between him and the label over how the follow-up album Listen<br />

Without Prejudice was promoted.<br />

- 14th September 2016, Channel 4 Press<br />

Just over a year later since this initial announcement, the<br />

documentary film aired on Channel 4 on 16th October 2017. The<br />

film had been scheduled to broadcast earlier than this, however,<br />

George Michael passed away a few days after working on the<br />

project. This is his final piece of work. Unbeknowingly, his final<br />

memento of himself to the world.<br />

26<br />

www.AudationMagazine.com


George Michael provided the commentary and worked with David Austin to<br />

create the film. David explains that what we see is mostly edited by George<br />

himself and left as untouched as it could be, excepting minor edits and<br />

additions. The two had been friends, since only a few months of being born,<br />

through their mothers meeting. They grew up together and worked together,<br />

their earliest musical journey told by David Austin, "I got a guitar at 6 and<br />

George was a drummer, that ís what he started out doing and he sort of played<br />

on the pillows and I played the guitar and I’ve got these recordings actually<br />

and believe it or not, the first song we wrote was called “The Music Maker of<br />

the World".<br />

The film is introduced by Kate Moss in the black chair adorned with speakers<br />

from the song 'Fast Love'. The title sequence commences with fiery visuals<br />

together with a stunning rendition of 'Fast Love' by Adele. His life story is told<br />

as he wanted to tell it. His rise to popularity and how he felt at each moment. It<br />

was especially poignant when the topic came to his beloved Anselmo. He<br />

explained the highs and the lows. The pain when he lost his love. The fact that<br />

a lot of his life was then devoted and inspired by his love. A pure, timeless<br />

feeling. The fact that they were parted did not stop this love. It also pushed<br />

him to fight the cause for the music industry. George wanted to break free<br />

from the system, and that defiance is so incredibly amazing because it can’t<br />

have been easy when everything was against him. Yet, he stuck to what he<br />

believed in. Music should not ever be limited, should not ever be restrained.<br />

Creativity cannot blossom when boxed into rules and regulations. It is also<br />

very cool that he didn’t want that limelight. He refused to promote the<br />

releases in the media himself, because he just wanted to keep the pleasure of<br />

his passion and not have any attention. Even in this documentary about<br />

himself, he only commentates and does not show his face. His greatness will<br />

continue to influence us all to do what we want, how we want to do it -<br />

regardless of the battles we shall face.<br />

‘Believe EP’ by Mind Of A Dragon holds a contrasted mix of emotions. I<br />

like the variations from dark and deadly to light and thoughtful and then<br />

to a classic old school sound of smooth yet bassy, sweet yet harsh.<br />

Slime Recordings is proud to welcome back Mind Of A Dragon to the<br />

label. Since the release of the genre-bending ‘Emotions’ EP on the<br />

imprint last summer, the London-based producer has been hard at work<br />

crafting his debut album alongside a slew of amazing releases that have<br />

solidified his position as one of the most inventive and creative artists<br />

working within UKG today.<br />

‘Rise Again’ by Mon Frere ft Kate Wild is outstanding. A majestic<br />

production with strong power contrasted against subdued tones<br />

throughout the verses. The passionate vocals share great emotion.<br />

The lyrics tell a story we all know too well.<br />

How long till I find my strength again?<br />

How long before I see my fear surrender?<br />

I’ll choke as I fight to catch my breath<br />

But I’ll sing until I’m standing tall.<br />

Rise Again is all about dealing with mental health issues that so<br />

many people suffer these days. A loss of confidence, panic attacks,<br />

depression - these issues hit most people at some stage in their<br />

lives. We hope that the lyrics resonate.<br />

And we'll move on into the night<br />

I enjoyed seeing this performed on the Ellen show, I imagine it<br />

would be incredible live. The string section leads you in,<br />

followed by the husky male vocal. The passionate chorus is<br />

brilliant and ignites a fire for the love within. A pretty jazz<br />

interlude further delights the ears.<br />

FIRE! ‘Find Me’ by Marshmello has a feel good, party vibe. I love the<br />

high energy, sugar rush at the drop. Okay, the artist’s character head is<br />

a bit… odd. Watching an interview with him on 4Music’s Trending Live -<br />

it was too, quite odd because he doesn’t speak. Taking a look at the<br />

video for this track, it makes me warm to him because it shows that this<br />

is just his way of expressing himself. Take away the human face, unplug<br />

the system and enjoy living.<br />

‘Without You’ by Tempo Elektrik is a tune which is instantly likeable and<br />

you could easily hear in the charts. A bright dance sound, smooth male<br />

vocals with a slight edge from the distinct high voice clips. The Scott Diaz<br />

remix brings the underground club style with a darker tone.<br />

Next up leading the talent at OneFold is label heavyweight Tempo<br />

Elektrik, who's giving us slight rave nostalgia with his new track, 'Without<br />

You'. Serving up a fresh take on synthesised vocals and fist-pumping<br />

bass, this lyrically-led mover is packed with more than enough energy to<br />

satisfy any crowd.<br />

Completing the single is a mellow, deeper interpretation of the attention<br />

grabbing original courtesy of producing talent Scott Diaz (Simma Black).<br />

Transforming the cut with drawn out, low frequency chords and spliced,<br />

ricocheting vocals, he nails a grittier, underground sound. House &<br />

Garage at it's best, the perfect round-off for this genre-spanning release.<br />

around Stunnah’s description of a special lady in his life; being a<br />

goddess in his view, with her best features originating from<br />

cultures around the globe.<br />

“I’m inspired by women in general, but I wanted to appreciate<br />

ladies from all around the world. What is different from anything<br />

I’ve done before is that this song has a very international-pop<br />

feel. It’s a different sound, it’s a different style. I can’t wait for my<br />

fans to hear it!” Stunnah Gee<br />

‘Secret Stash, Vol. 1’ is a spirited collection of music. The mix of soulful<br />

and funky sounds take your mind away to the sunset parties or back in<br />

time to wonderful moments, whilst the deeper tracks fuel the<br />

underground rave.<br />

Stashed Music follow a string of rapturously-received EPs with their first<br />

VA compilation Secret Stash Vol.1, featuring new and exclusive music<br />

from DJ S.K.T, Carnao Beats, GAWP and a host of up-and-coming house<br />

talent.<br />

Launched earlier this year and already making its mark on the<br />

underground, Stashed Music is a new label founded by prolific electronic<br />

artist DJ S.K.T, who has teamed up with a number of like-minded<br />

childhood and music industry friends, each of whom brings their own<br />

unique experiences, knowledge and passion to the table.<br />

From the outset, Stashed Music’s remit has been to unearth raw new<br />

talent as well champion established producers: talent that is not afraid to<br />

push the boundaries of modern house music. That mission is in full effect<br />

on their latest release, a various artists compilation featuring 11 original<br />

tracks, all of which are exclusive to this collection.<br />

Kicking off with a quality club roller from DJ S.K.T himself, the<br />

compilation shines a light on a rich vein of relatively undiscovered house<br />

talent. Every track featured has that little something extra that sets it<br />

apart: from intricate percussive grooves and fat basslines to delicate<br />

melodies and infectious vocals, this is the raw sound of the house<br />

underground.<br />

’Sweden’ by Vibbar is kind of manic at first! Then you hit replay, you rewatch<br />

that video, you get into the groove and feel that easy-going vibe. It’s a pretty<br />

cool with a great variety in all the elements pieced together.<br />

An amalgamation of sounds, influences and voices, ‘Sweden’ is the perfect<br />

illustration of the fact the group is built on ‘vibes’. Catchy bars flirt with<br />

percussion as the melodic instrumental takes you on a journey through hazy<br />

fade outs before bursting back in to its rhythmic life via amped up bass and<br />

crystal clear production. Visually the video captures the collectives boundless<br />

charisma which is immersed with creative flair. From the cutting edge of rap to<br />

the forefront of fashion, Vibbar represent effortless cool.<br />

“Originally the song was a sample by a garage artist/Dj from back in the day<br />

called Lonyo. We sampled his hit 'Summer of love' and originally used that<br />

title, to pay homage.<br />

We wanted to keep the energy of our original take on the song so made a new<br />

beat with a similar vibe. We then decided to call the song 'Sweden', after the<br />

country which is the inspiration behind the whole collective, hence the name<br />

Vibbar (Vibe in Swedish)” - VIBBAR<br />

Vibbar’s uncomplicated love for what they do and their changeable talents<br />

allow them to morph in to any role required for them to continue their own<br />

evolution as a collective. To date they have DJ’d and collaborated with<br />

numerous brands and hosted guest appearances on their tracks from Big<br />

Narstie, Wiley and JME, amongst others, plus they host their own weekly show<br />

every Monday from 5pm on Radar Radio. With the release of ‘Sweden’, they<br />

are on the brink of even more new conquests.<br />

‘We March On’ by Hannah V ft Natalie Williams is beautiful. The first<br />

vocal section almost reminds me of an old wartime song, keeping<br />

the world strong through dark times. Then the main section enters<br />

to reveal the contemporary soul sound. A stunning piano<br />

performance brings it altogether. The powerful and passionate air<br />

takes over and you allow your mind to be submerged by it. Blackjack<br />

provides a naughty DnB remix full of attitude and empowerment. I<br />

love the accompanying video with the story of heartache following<br />

through to finding herself again, all this in-between the studio<br />

performance with pretty rose gold definition.<br />

‘Haunted Spaces EP’ by Document One is a killer DnB set to get you<br />

through the night.<br />

Since Document One’s first release on Technique Recordings, they’ve<br />

formulated a particularly volatile compound of jazz, funk, hip-hop, and<br />

tech. And they’ve proven its effectiveness by chalking up enviable levels<br />

of radio airplay, DnB chart status, and rave destruction. Now, there’s a<br />

brand new five-track EP to deliver another dose.<br />

This time, Document One are exploring the darker side of their nature,<br />

guiding us into the shadows with the upright-bass-meets-murderminded-<br />

rap of Haunted Spaces. The EP’s title track builds through a<br />

sparse intro into a rhythmically-twisted drop. The punch and snap of kick<br />

and snare are coupled with a driving fusion of natural and synthetic<br />

basses. There’s a heartbeat of dancefloor funk, but this is no laid-back,<br />

casual groove. It’s a gritty, evil piece of music that sets the template for<br />

the rest of the release.<br />

This EP is set to reconfigure our expectations of Document One. It has<br />

their production fingerprints all over it, but presented in a different, more<br />

midnight-tinged, package. It just goes to show the artistry in their style,<br />

and it’s clear these tracks are another milestone in the onwards-andupwards<br />

Doc One progression.<br />

Love Love Love. ‘Space Between’ by Apex ft Ayah Marar is a classic. The<br />

lively DnB track and an immensely catchy hook from a beautiful vocalist.<br />

The is a part of Hospital Records ‘Weapons Of Mass Creation 3’<br />

compilation. More favourites include ‘Avalon’ by Cyantific and ‘Starting<br />

Over’ by Blu Mar Ten.<br />

Popping off like a roadside incendiary, the third installment of Hospital's<br />

Weapons of Mass Creation series is back with a bang. Just when you<br />

thought it was safe to fileshare another MP3, we're taking our guerrilla<br />

war back to the streets with an outstanding collection of insurgent beats.<br />
