Hi Guys & Dolls...<br />
The cover reflects our understated character this month with a delicately whispered<br />
sentiment of music from the heart. It is our 50 issue - a great achievement. But also, it<br />
is just a number. What really makes 50 so special, more so than 49 or 51 etc? Each of<br />
those 1's that make up the 50 is special. Every release, I think: “Wow. I can't believe we<br />
made something so wonderful. I'm so happy that people are enjoying it, we're making<br />
people smile and inspiring others too.” I dedicate this issue to our co-founder<br />
Christina. She helped turn a simple dream into reality.<br />
In this issue: Cessle re-ignites his love for music after taking a break from the buzz of<br />
the industry and shares 5 tracks for the summer which include tracks from Daniel<br />
Orpl, Rich Not and D-Tour. Country music is back in style as Sarah’s Thoughts take us<br />
through this year’s Windy City LakeShake festival in Chicago. Some of the highlights<br />
of the event include Lanco’s HOT guitarist, a sweat Billy Currington and Russell<br />
Dickerson’s pop surprise. Music helps me. Rdubz shares his fascination with the art<br />
form which has acted as a therapeutic tool through life’s challenges and has also<br />
played a vital part of memorable moments. David shares a beautiful silhouette photo<br />
taken in the big city of Singapore, which is inspired by ‘Bright Lights’ by Thirty<br />
Seconds To Mars. We check out forthcoming movie ‘The Festival’ which is the ultimate<br />
pairing for any festival of awkward British youth going mad in a field. England united<br />
by one song, I share the musical moments of this year’s FIFA World Cup as we<br />
imparted football fever so greatly that even George Ezra told fans to knock his single<br />
off the #1 spot. I found a dream that I could speak to. ‘At Last - The Etta James Story’<br />
show tour comes to the UK with Vika Bull playing the role of the incredible woman<br />
who “sang with power and honesty”. I intuitively followed the stirring of my heart. DJ<br />
Sharm Pillay talks of her connection with the frequencies of Techno and her ambition<br />
of awakening hearts through music. Elevate my soul. Steve’s poetic song describes the<br />
journey of his body and soul through new journeys in life. For our 50th special, Ashna<br />
illustrates a celebration with sparks flying and an expression of joy whilst Tamara<br />
brings the sweet heart treat topped by the number of the moment. We are also thrilled<br />
to have our friends sharing love with us for this occasion, thank you Karina Nistal,<br />
Alchemia, Leanne Louise, Mon Frere and Right Chord Music. We've got your events<br />
guide, show listings and music from BAAST, Kevin Coval, Tough Love, Fliptrix, David<br />

Music Is Life<br />
It’s been almost, if not just over, 2 years since the last time I scribed any<br />
words to feature in an edition of Audiation magazine. I may not have put pen<br />
to paper but I’ve constantly had my ears to a set of cans with tunes beating<br />
as the soundtrack to my day. As I begin to write this article, my mind is<br />
subconsciously swimming with the grooves & basslines as I listen back to<br />
the last 30 minutes of a 3hr recording that I myself put together this<br />
morning, just for my own enjoyment. Sometimes taking a break and stepping<br />
back for a while can do a great deal of good. It can give you a chance to<br />
either hit the reset button and start again, give you a new fresh perspective<br />
or even a chance to see things different and have a look at things from an<br />
outside view. No man was able to appreciate the look of his front door<br />
without stepping outside. For me these last 2 years gave me a chance to<br />
view things differently, hear music differently and it gave me a chance to<br />
appreciate the music scene that I love so much. Never before did I really<br />
understand the true power of music. Don’t get me wrong I always knew that<br />
music was a powerful unrivalled source, for I have written articles describing<br />
how music has captivated ravers sending them on journeys across<br />
dancefloors. I’ve always been an avid listener of music. I’ve a selection of<br />
different genre playlists on Spotify and I tend to start my Sundays (if I’m<br />
home) as they would when I was growing up. Starting with the old reggae<br />
moving through the genres and years before ending up with what is my<br />
music of choice, House & Techno. During my self-afflicted absence, for a<br />
while I tried flirting with other sounds whilst purposely avoiding electronic<br />
music but it felt like something was missing. In all honesty without<br />
exaggerating, something wasn’t right. My point is this, MUSIC IS LIFE. Never<br />
before did I truly understand how powerful music was until I neglected<br />
myself of it. It gives myself and undoubtedly countless others a real zest for<br />
life and this is one of the reasons that so many people wish to be a part of<br />
the industry and put their all in to achieving their dreams. Personally, I’ve<br />
fallen in love all over again with my ears & eyes wide open.<br />
At the time of my last written piece for Audiation Magazine, the<br />
Underground scene there was so much talk about the popularity in Tech<br />
House. Admittingly I was one of a number of individuals to feed fuel to the<br />
fire, saying in some breaths that Tech House was garbage. The rise in Tech<br />
House or more so the way in which Tech House had taken a hold over the UK<br />
scene had begun to bug me. It wasn’t the fact that it had become<br />
increasingly popular to the point that even my 10yr old daughter had<br />
discovered shuffling. Nor was it because I am nothing but an Underground<br />

Music purist, which in some respects I will proudly hold my hands up to<br />
being. It was down to the quality of music that some labels were/are willing<br />
to put out and down to the quality of music being played at many parties.<br />
Yes London is a cesspit of multiple sounds and everybody is entitled to<br />
freedom of choice but at some point common sense & quality control has to<br />
rule and take precedence of cash in ones pocket. This was one of a few<br />
reasons that led to me in a sense fall out of love with the scene, but as<br />
always with life, change comes upon us. Change to the scene and a change in<br />
how you can view things. The musical sabbatical (so we shall call it) that I<br />
took reaffirmed my love for quality underground music leading me to<br />
launching the TrustNobody label with my partner PIEM and within this time<br />
certain trends/notions that I had foreseen seem to be coming to life and<br />
starting their journeys.<br />
Things in life always seem to turn full circle and I sensed that it wouldn’t be<br />
before long that the Underground would ask for its anonymity back. At some<br />
point the music would gravitate towards more true Housey sounds and we<br />
would see a rise in techno again. My reasons for thinking this? It’s no<br />
different from any activity plus it’s something I’ve seen time and time again.<br />
You are introduced to something, you begin to enjoy it so you choose to<br />
delve into it some more increasing your knowledge and opening yourself up<br />
to the more grown stuff and before you know it you are hooked. You can<br />
apply the debatable theory they lay with drugs to my theory ‘The softer stuff<br />
leads to the harder stuff’. In this case Tech House leads to Real House &<br />
Techno music. In 2017 Cassy, a DJ that I have admired for some time now, in<br />
2017 launched her new label ‘Kwench Records’ with the focus being on<br />
capturing the many faces of House Music. Parties on the white isles such as<br />
Woo Moon are becoming increasingly more popular amongst party goers.<br />
Drumcode is bigger than ever with their own festival in Amsterdam and the<br />
dubby sound of rolling Techno pushed by the likes of Fuse & A:rpia:r<br />
continue to grow, having a heavy influence on the UK scene. I for one am a<br />
boundary rider. I refuse to pick between House & Techno. I don’t hate Tech<br />
House, I just detest the boring monotone tracks that have no feeling. Tech<br />
House is essential to House & Techno as it acts like glue joining tracks of<br />
different styles together.<br />
Top quality music is timeless and can live forever which is the reason for<br />
many music is life.<br />

live gig. Beautiful surprises and divinely<br />
guided synchronistic messages from my<br />
intuition and the Universe." Sharm Pillay<br />
THINGS THAT MAKE ME<br />
SMILE.
Music helps me...<br />
I have been fascinated with Music for as long as I can<br />
remember, my mother told me stories of how she used to unplug the stereo<br />
to stop me from playing records in the middle of the night when I was 2<br />
years old, only for me to plug it back in and carry on, waking up neighbours<br />
and leaving her to explain to them that the toddler was the one to blame, I<br />
was clearly hooked.<br />
Music for me is so many things, as a whole it's unlike anything else I know, it<br />
sets moods, explains and portrays emotions, helps expression, unites<br />
people.<br />
Sometimes I use music as a form of therapy to reflect on and deal with<br />
emotions, find a sequence of chords that fits my mood and play for as long<br />
as I need to feel resolve, I suppose something about the notes singing my<br />
own feelings back to me creates a feeling of understanding.<br />
Music helps me focus on work, I find that listening to instrumental music,<br />
especially from something with warm memories, like an old computer game<br />
that I played as a kid, is not only relaxing, but also somewhat engaging and<br />
motivating.<br />
Music helps me out of bad spells of anxiety, since late 2016 I have suffered<br />
with both anxiety and panic attacks, which can descend my normally clear<br />
thinking mind into a struggle for control and worst case leave me wondering<br />
if I will see another day, there have been many times where listening to<br />
music has diverted my attention and brought me back to normality.<br />
Just last night my wife and I were at Bluedot festival in Manchester to see<br />
The Chemical Brothers headline, of course they were absolutely amazing as<br />
always, after a fair amount of beer and cider (which surely played a role in<br />
this) we were jumping up and down in arms with total strangers, everyone<br />
smiling, letting the euphoria take over and screaming our enjoyment at each<br />
other as if we were all best mates, I don't even know their names, how many<br />
times have I been in the same situation with Music? How many times have I<br />
been in the same situation with anything else?<br />
Is there any art form more exciting? More able to elicit emotion? More<br />
helpful? More universal? Not for me there isnt, what a gift it is.<br />

LAKESHAKE<br />
It’s that time of the year again! The weather is warm, the sun is out, and<br />
country music is back in style again. I’m one of those people who only<br />
listens to country in the summertime because it is all about sunshine,<br />
beer and backyard parties, so why listen to that any other season?<br />
Irrelevant.<br />
I was lucky enough to attend Chicago’s Windy City Lake Shake at the<br />
Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island (right next to Adler<br />
Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium), so here are my takeaways from the<br />
festival!<br />
The festival started on Friday, but it was raining so I skipped that day.<br />
Sorry Blake Shelton.<br />

SATURDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS<br />
Jackie Lee covers<br />
First artist we saw was Jackie Lee, who I totally thought was a girl going<br />
into the festival. The lineup was mostly male, so I was excited to see a girl<br />
on stage. However, I was pleasantly surprised because he is the definition<br />
of an up and coming artist. He captured the entire audience who were<br />
just arriving, and his voice was like butter. Great start to the show. He<br />
also had great covers that got the crowd going, but I can’t remember<br />
what they were! So, Jackie Lee, if you’re reading this, you have great<br />
songs and covers!<br />
Fun fact: He has beaten cancer twice!<br />
Lanco’s guitarist<br />
Lanco is a band that seems like a household name now. If you don’t know<br />
them, you have heard “Greatest Love Story.” The funny thing about this<br />
band is all the band members looked like they were all friends on a<br />
baseball team growing up, but their guitarist (Eric Steedly) just stood out.<br />
How do I explain this… well he was HOT. Long hair, tank top with muscles,<br />
so many guitar solos. Everyone around me kept talking about him,<br />
probably because he didn’t fit in with the band members at all based on<br />
looks, but he was entertaining to watch!<br />
Billy: sweaty<br />
I don’t remember how sweaty Billy Currington was, but he must’ve been<br />
drenched if I made a note about it. He was fun!<br />
Dierks: homeless<br />
No shade to him at all, but<br />
he looked homeless! My<br />
cousin and I were talking<br />
about him, if we saw him<br />
outside of the concert, we<br />
would have no idea he is a<br />
country superstar. He had a<br />
long raggedy beard, but<br />
somehow it worked for him.<br />
As we were leaving his set,<br />
Navy Pier had a firework<br />
show, so it was perfect.<br />

SUNDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS<br />
Girls night out / Russell Dickerson - Pop<br />
He was pouring beer down his band’s throats, most likely getting<br />
drunk on stage. You can just tell by his stage presence that he loves<br />
his life right now. The one thing that surprised me is he had a pop<br />
song called MGNO (My Girl’s Night Out). Everyone in the audience<br />
was jumping and dancing to it, but it really was unexpected, since<br />
this is his debut album and touring, so it seems surprising to release<br />
a pop song as well.<br />
We did more walking around the festival today so stopped by a<br />
Barefoot tent to sample the new wine in cans, which were good! I<br />
was drinking the Red Sangria one the whole time. My friends and I<br />
did the photo booth with real guitars and costumes. Fun time! Lots<br />
of the booths were barbeque food, clothes, games, and a swing ride.<br />
Chris Lane has a song on the radio called “Take Back Home Girl,” but<br />
I didn’t know much about him going into the festival. What a<br />
performer, captured the hearts of every girl in there! He’s about<br />
5’6”, but he was cute and sweet to the girls around the stage,<br />
bringing one girl up to sing “All About You.” I can’t wait for him to<br />
come back to Chicago because I am going!<br />
Cole Swindell has a lot of country hits too, so it was cool seeing him.<br />
I was with my co-workers at this point as well, so it was fun dancing<br />
with them. Not much stood out, but he was a good performer.<br />
The one act everyone was looking forward to was Florida Georgia<br />
Line. Lots of fire, lots of energy, two friends that really made it in<br />
country music. People around me kept yelling for their song “Dirt,”<br />
so when they played it people went crazy.<br />
I think that’s enough country for all of you readers. Hope I filled you<br />
in on the best songs for the summer of country music.<br />
Thanks for another great year LakeShake!!!<br />

The Festival<br />
Awkward youth, booze, muddy fields, music that’ll make you deaf and a whole<br />
lot of memories you really want to forget. The Festival showcases the best of<br />
the fun and blunders which many will experience at their first fest in the UK.<br />
Starring Joe Thomas as a lead character ‘Nick’, aka ‘Simon’ from THE<br />
INBETWEENERS, the film maintains his previous personality of the sap who<br />
falls in love far too easily and is up for trying new adventures even if it does<br />
result in stealing someones leg!<br />
This summer, pack your bags, grab your wellies and don’t forget your tent,<br />
because the BAFTA Award winning creators of THE INBETWEENERS invite you<br />
to the mother of all music festivals…<br />
THE FESTIVAL is the first comedy feature film release from production<br />
company Fudge Park, formed by THE INBETWEENERS writers and executive<br />
producers Iain Morris and Damon Beesley and will be released in cinemas on<br />
17th August across the UK and Ireland. THE FESTIVAL is directed by Iain Morris<br />
and written by Keith Akushie and Joe Parham (BBC Three’s SIBLINGS).<br />
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the beloved British coming of age<br />
sitcom THE INBETWEENERS, which co-creators Morris and Beesley followed up<br />
with two hugely successful big-screen outings. THE INBETWEENERS MOVIE<br />
released in 2011 took £45 million at the box office to become the most<br />
successful British comedy of all time and sequel THE INBETWEENERS 2, set the<br />
record for the biggest opening weekend of 2014 and was the highest grossing<br />
British film that year.<br />
When Nick's (Joe Thomas) girlfriend dumps him at graduation, he has a<br />
colossal meltdown in front of the entire university. He's convinced his life is<br />
over, but his best mate Shane (Hammed Animashaun) has the perfect solution:<br />
three days at an epic music festival. With the help of "festival aficionado" and<br />
certified oddball Amy (Emmy AwardÒ nominee Claudia O’Doherty), Shane tries<br />
to get Nick to embrace the music, the mayhem and the mud. From the creators<br />
of THE INBETWEENERS comes THE FESTIVAL, a comedy about friendship,<br />
growing up, and going mad in a field.<br />
THE FESTIVAL is produced by Claire Jones (SIGHTSEERS, GHOST STORIES) for<br />
Fudge Park, developed and backed by Film4 and Entertainment Film<br />

Three Lions<br />
10 July 2018<br />
What if I told you “it’s coming home”? You’re likely to either<br />
roll your eyes or sing along with me. This one song is both<br />
uniting the English nation and annoying the rest of the world or<br />
anyone who isn’t interested in football. After 28 years, England<br />
have made it through to the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup<br />
and we are just insanely proud and hopeful about our chances<br />
of winning the tournament.<br />
With our rising excitement and enthusiasm for the team, the<br />
legendary ‘Three Lions’ anthem by Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning<br />
Seeds is being sung loud and proud. We still believe. The lyrics<br />
speak of the unwavering confidence for England to once again<br />
bring football home, as they did in 1966, despite their many<br />
failures over the years.<br />
The song was originally released in 1996 as England hosted the<br />
European Championships and then again an updated version<br />
was released in 1998 to support England during the World Cup<br />
in which they reached the round of 16. The Squad also released<br />
a 2010 version for the FIFA World Cup where England again only<br />
reached the round of 16. There have been many more rereleases<br />
and versions of the song, however the original still<br />
remains the most notorious.<br />
‘Three Lions’ is currently at #24 in the official UK singles chart<br />
and is still climbing. The trend is not just being confined to<br />
football viewers, but is sweeping across many other interests<br />
and situations. Justin Timberlake chanted “it’s coming home” to<br />
his audience at the O2 Arena, he also shared a surprising<br />
announcement that being an “honorary Brit” he will air the<br />
England’s semi-final match at his concert on July 12th. George<br />
Ezra has also caught football fever as he tells fans to buy the<br />
‘Three Lions’ song and knock his own ‘Shotgun” single off the<br />
#1 spot! Fans have also been having fun adapting old songs into<br />
England chants, this includes a rework of “Whole Again” by<br />
Atomic Kitten which band member Natasha Hamilton also<br />
recorded and shared through social media.<br />
26 www.AudationMagazine.com
12 July 2018<br />
We are out. And yes we are sad, but not ashamed because<br />
England made us proud. We actually had faith that we could<br />
win, that in itself is an achievement. We allowed ourselves to<br />
be swept up in the moment and dared to dream. Regardless of<br />
the ending, we had great journey and saw the glass half full.<br />
16 July 2018<br />
‘Three Lions’ simultaneously tops the UK singles chart and<br />
breaks a record for having the same artists at #1 on four<br />
separate occasions.<br />
Prior to the final match, we are entertained by the closing<br />
ceremony featuring well-choreographed dancers and brilliant<br />
use of technology to produce a very cool showpiece. Live it up.<br />
This motto, the official song for the tournament, was the<br />
crowning glory by Nicky Jam ft Will Smith & Era Istrefi. high<br />
infectious energy, a fresh style and motivational attitude make<br />
up this signature song.<br />
And, the FIFA World Cup 2018 winner is France. Félicitations!<br />

At Last - The Etta James Story<br />
I found a dream that I could speak to. The fantastic soul singer is well known<br />
for songs including ‘Something's Got A Hold On Me’, ‘Stormy Weather’ and the<br />
timeless number ‘At Last’. Etta James’ rich and elegant voice took her to<br />
stardom, though her journey in life was not the smoothest. The passion-filled<br />
performance is set to tour across the UK throughout September and October.<br />
Vika Bull plays the lead role and she is accompanied by The Essential R&B<br />
Band. Described as a narrative concert, it comprises of 23 songs and the<br />
account of her life.<br />
Following its world premiere in Melbourne in 2013, the show has since<br />
repeatedly packed theatres throughout Australia and New Zealand. In 2016<br />
the show returned to Melbourne for a sell-out season at The Arts Centre and<br />
July saw the show triumph for a third season at The Sydney Opera House.<br />
Telling the story of soul legend Etta James’ turbulent life and features some of<br />
her most beloved songs including Tell Mama, Something’s Got A Hold On Me,<br />
Sugar On The Floor, the heart rending I’d Rather Go Blind, her iconic signature<br />
song At Last and more.<br />
“When I started in this business at 17 she was the one I listened to everyday. I<br />
liked the way she sang with power and honesty … Etta doesn’t really sing sh*t<br />
songs and is a very funny woman. A devil!” Vika Bull puts her heart and soul<br />
into this unforgettable show and is joined on stage by some of Australia’s<br />
finest and funkiest musicians.<br />
During a long and tumultuous career that saw her win six Grammy Awards and<br />
a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Etta James has influenced a vast array<br />
of artists from Diana Ross, Janis Joplin, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones and<br />
Rod Stewart and is acknowledged as inspiring the careers of a new generation<br />
of singers from Christina Aguilera, Joss Stone, Adele and the late Amy<br />
Winehouse.<br />
Sadly, Etta’s frantic recording and touring schedule coincided with her evergrowing<br />
addiction problems and over time she not only sang the blues…she<br />
lived the blues. Mercifully, her passion for life and strength of character saw<br />
her conquer her demons and she continued to record and perform into her<br />
seventies.<br />
With respect, this is her story.<br />

Awakening hearts along her journey, Sharm Pillay imparts good energy<br />
through the 5 dimensions of Techno. Originally from South Africa, she now<br />
resides in Australia and spends her time uniting people through the power of<br />
music as well as expressing her soul through this medium.<br />
Transcend into another realm with the dark grounding bass, a firm beguiling<br />
rhythm and enticing waves of energy which seep into your senses. “Two<br />
Angels” is Sharm Pillays debut single which is set to be released on El Futuro<br />
Recordings.<br />
Ahead of this release, Sharm Pillay kindly shares her thoughts with us…<br />
The Awakening<br />
Raised in a musically motivated family, music has been a constant throughout<br />
my life. Both my parents and fraternal grandfather were actively engaged in<br />
the music world. My grandad was South Africa’s first Hindu Drum (Thabala)<br />
Gold Medalist (1927). Filthy, sexy basslines run deep in my blood.<br />
It was April 2014 when I unwittingly activated my DJ journey. The short story<br />
is that a random thought led to an idea which led to exciting actions, and here I<br />
am four years later. It’s been a journey of note. I intuitively followed the<br />
stirrings of my heart, taking heed to that persistent, enthusiastic feeling when I<br />
tuned into music. Prior to this I’d experienced nothing like it. When I doubted<br />
myself, the confirmation that I was on the right path came from friends,<br />
followers and strangers who supported my journey.<br />
I’ve has held long term online radio residencies with More Bass and Chill Lover<br />
Radio in New York, Radio Futuro in Italy, two years with Vendjs in Venezuela,<br />
Beats2Dance in the Netherlands and I currently have a monthly<br />
SEKSiCuLLTURE show on DI.FM, UK/Sweden. I’ve dropped guest sets for IBIZA<br />

White FM Radio of Tantra Nightclub in Ibiza, The Movement in India and Uncut<br />
Media in South Africa, and KISS FM Radio in Melbourne, Australia.<br />
I’ve played in various South African nightclubs, lounges, bars, corporate events<br />
and private functions. In 2017, during my travels to Australia, I was invited to<br />
play at ESCAPE nightclub, Gold Coast, Bondi Radio, Bondi Beach, various<br />
private functions, Madison and Cod’s Gift in Dural, Sydney.<br />
Passionate about music, I’ve experienced many genres during the course of my<br />
life that set the tone for a keen musical ear: House, RnB, Rock, Soul, Jazz, Hip-<br />
Hop, Reggae, Blues leading to Techno. My enthusiasm for DJ'ing has<br />
everything to do with “Music that gets me soul dancing”. Though, Techno is my<br />
first true love….. but ssssshhhhh don’t tell anybody!<br />
Favourite motto is “To thine own self be true”.<br />
My DJ journey in essence? It’s been a Spiritual Awakening kinda experience.<br />
The Frequencies Of Techno<br />
Wow I could literally write a book on this topic! This has been my experience.<br />
If you listen to Techno with your heart you will hear whispers of the Universe<br />
vibrating within your being. Deep I know.<br />
It’s no secret that music is an ageless and timeless vibration. These are my<br />
views. Use it or lose it. Music is the melody, the timing, the pulse of my soul.<br />
Music is a Universal Language, Love the Universal Healer and Light the<br />
Universe itself in action. Drop Techno in the mix and you've a magical formula<br />
that would have Nikola Tesla wishing he's attending a Techno throw down.<br />
Techno?<br />
Techno is a whole different animal. Techno is a game changer.<br />
Its vibration, frequency, energy (Spirit) seeps through the cracks of our DNA. It<br />
touches us in places we never knew existed or may have forgotten. It breaks<br />
open hearts, stretches minds and exposes us to our soul. Techno is a healing<br />
frequency channeled straight from Spirit. It's a Spiritual thing, the 5D kind. You<br />
can't touch it.<br />
First you sense it. Then you feel it. It’s an intUItion thing… it exists within U & I.<br />

Two Angels<br />
I was inspired by Love in all its glorious forms, specifically a painful soul<br />
lesson during my personal awakening. I was lucky to have three very special<br />
souls, two being my best girlfriends who passed away tragically within the last<br />
two years and the third a Netherlands based DJ who unwittingly yet<br />
profoundly activated my awakening. “Two Angels” is dedicated to the lives<br />
and memories of my beautiful friends Susanne Keil and Ilana Lipman Dembo.<br />
Gone too soon.<br />
“Two Angels” is a stirring Techno track with tech house elements. This banger<br />
floats with an emotional bassline, colourful arpeggio keys and resonant high<br />
frequency elements reaching an exciting crescendo evolving into a beautiful<br />
big room, festival track.“ is how Label Manager, Josh Lasden describes it.<br />
Connecting with Josh was a synchronistic unfolding. I’m super excited to be a<br />
part of the El Futuro Recordings family. Josh has been very supportive and<br />
patient. I had a million questions as I’m a newbie to the production world.<br />
We’re forging a long journey of many more releases to come.<br />
I’ve been invited to celebrate the release of “Two Angels” by Sydney based<br />
female DJ, Ayebatonye Abrakasa at their DJ Showcase event organized in<br />
association with Music NSW.<br />
Date: Saturday, 25th August 2018 Venue: Tokyo Sing Song, Newtown, Sydney,<br />
NSW, Australia Time: 22:00 – 4:00am<br />
You’re invited ;-)<br />

SEKSiCuLLTURE<br />
Love this question. Every SEKSiCuLLTURE set I’ve created up to this point has a<br />
story. If you listen intently you may decipher its meaning. It’s the story of my<br />
awakening.<br />
Each set is intentionally designed to raise our personal vibration and that of<br />
the planet as we journey together with TECHNO. It’s where the frequency of<br />
Love & Light emanates, infused with positive vibes you may probably only feel<br />
with your heart. Listen intently and by all means keep your ego engaged, it’s a<br />
healthy debate.<br />
Life<br />
It’s been said that nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come. It's<br />
my experience and understanding that nothing is more powerful than when a<br />
soul has awakened to their authentic self. Their Truth. Their Passion. Its<br />
success of a different kind, that first demands shedding (sometimes lifetimes)<br />
of our old selves. For me personally it began with an intense desire to change<br />
my reality. A non-negotiable pre-requisite to awakening is doing the inner<br />
work. Transformation is not for the feint hearted though thoroughly<br />
rewarding. Prepare to be uncomfortable or the Universe will make the<br />
decision for you and you don’t want that. It’s a messy, chaotic, beautiful<br />
journey at the best of times. It’s where I found my soul’s frequency and light,<br />
deeply entrenched in Techno sounds.<br />
The Future<br />
More Techno Music! There are exciting projects in the works for<br />
SEKSiCuLLTURE.<br />
To shine my light, inspire and entertain walking my talk with Purpose: “Raising<br />
the planet’s vibration, anchoring Spirit into matter, awakening intuitive hearts<br />
(if so desired), channeling music through my DJ platform and brand,<br />
SEKSiCuLLTURE, to my soul tribe.” is the main trajectory.<br />
I would like to take this opportunity to mention that Human trafficking, child<br />
sexual and animal abuse are causes extremely close to my heart. Every 30<br />
36 www.AudationMagazine.com
seconds a child is sold. The child sex trade is a sick, evil and growing 32 Billion<br />
Dollar a year industry (Statistics courtesy of Russell Brunson’s Operation<br />
Toussaint initiative). There are of children and babies voiceless and<br />
defenceless against the atrocities they’re experiencing. I’m making it my<br />
personal mission to lend my voice, raise awareness and funds to end their<br />
pain.<br />
Destiny Rescue has helped to rescue 3000 children to date, working across<br />
countries including Thailand. Cambodia. India. Philippines. Dominican<br />
Republic and Australia.<br />
To aspiring artists: never give up on your dream! Never. Tend to your soul’s<br />
voice and awaken to your heart’s passion.<br />
The planet is undergoing a huge shift and it’s a beautiful time to balance our<br />
masculine and feminine divine energies within.<br />
This is my truth... I own it.<br />
This is my journey... I’m so walking it.<br />

Inner translation<br />
Body and soul want to connect<br />
Deeper vibration<br />
I don't want to neglect<br />
My own self I might forget<br />
The best version of me ahead<br />
Looming temptation<br />
Easy routes and white lies<br />
No deviation<br />
The old belief dies<br />
Elevate my soul<br />
Let go and no control<br />
Lead me to salvation<br />
Being aligned to my soul path<br />
Resilient; I am holding on<br />
Not looking at the aftermath<br />
My heart taking a new step<br />
My soul taking a further step<br />

NEW<br />
MUSIC
‘Come Alive’ by Bisola is a bright and motivational song. Lost the fire in my eyes.<br />
The vocals have a gorgeous range between smooth and silky to strong and<br />
powerful. Your love broke through. The uplifting spirit shines through with the<br />
bold and passionate main section.<br />
Come Alive is the new dancefloor filling, soul inspiring banger from the beautiful<br />
British Bisola, the chart-topping singer/songwriter. With early support from<br />
Earmilk and Music Musings and Such, as well as BBC Introducing South making it<br />
their Track of the Day, Come Alive promises to be your song of the summer.<br />
“I’m really excited about releasing ‘Come Alive’. The track is based on my<br />
personal experience of battling through a challenging time in my life and<br />
eventually finding hope or, in fact,, hope finding me...and giving me a new lease<br />
of life. The fact that the song also has such an upbeat, energetic pop arrangement<br />
that makes you want to dance is absolutely the icing on the cake. I hope everyone<br />
loves it and truly connects with it in some way” Bisola<br />
Bisola is a true musical allrounder. Her prowess as performer has secured her<br />
bookings at world famous venues such as the Notting Hill Arts Club, I Luv Live (at<br />
Zigfrid Von Underbelly) and Proud Camden. Her skill as a songwriter led her to<br />
the final in of the Thame Town Music Festival Songwriting Competition and the<br />
semi-finals of the UK Songwriting Competition. Bisola acted as Musical Director<br />
and songwriter for the West End stage musical ‘Hannah – The Iyawo’ and The<br />
Voice newspaper ran a special feature of her in 2017. Her single The Impossible<br />
peaked at no. 5 on the Indie Charts, and Million Miles achieved the number 1 spot<br />
on the US radio music chart. Her songs have featured on Best of British Unsigned<br />
and on countless online radio shows and blogs. Though Bisola has achieved so<br />
much in her career already, the best is still to come! Keep checking her social<br />
media platforms for details of her latest live dates.<br />

‘Red Lion’ by BAAST has a uniquely beautiful charm. Will you ride this wave<br />
with me? The dark twist of the bass against the gorgeous feminine voice. We<br />
got nothing to fear, but fear itself. Her strength and determination is revealed<br />
together with a burst of a tough though emotive atmosphere. The middle<br />
sections has an extraordinary depth and eeriness contrasted with divine<br />
sweetness of the voice.<br />
Fresh out of the South-West duo BAAST bring dark alternative pop, mesmeric<br />
synthesis and sound design intertwined with spoken word and soulful vocals.<br />
Unafraid to tackle politicised themes of identity, their performance will<br />
captivate and challenge the way you’re told to think. After a year of producing<br />
and writing together, they aim to bring a refreshing, brooding sound to the<br />
ears of listeners. Formed by Beth Griffin (Grove) and Josh Petkovic’-Short<br />
(Diessa), the pair met in Cheltenham before developing their cohesive sound<br />
through Studio 340, a creative community arts venue. Here, they began their<br />
out-of-the-ordinary journey.<br />
Growing up in a limiting, restricted and conforming community, Beth was left<br />
feeling disconnected from her surroundings, while Josh fell disillusioned with<br />
society. The years of inability to explore personal identity now fuels their<br />
ambition to craft songs that speak a visceral truth about what it’s like to grow<br />
up with that disconnect. The importance of individuality is prominent<br />
throughout BAAST’s performance, and their powerful tales charge through<br />
every second of each song.<br />

‘New Breath’ by Fliptrix is invigorating. The snappy flow and catchy<br />
rhythm of the chorus get you hooked. The full texture of the<br />
production add the the energy to create a big impact. Dawn of a new<br />
day. Lose your mind. Take leaps of faith. Raise up the good vibes.<br />
The lyrics are thought-provoking, describing the truths of life and<br />
motivating us to live it well.<br />
As one of the leading lights in the thriving UK Hip Hop scene, last<br />
months announcement of Fliptrix’s album release for ‘INEXHALE’<br />
caused a riot of excitement. Already teasing us with the video<br />
releases for album tracks ‘It’s Like That’ and ‘Bagging Up Music’,<br />
Fliptrix now launches in to full album mode as he drops the single<br />
‘New Breath’, as premiered by DJ Target on BBC Radio 1Xtra.<br />
With his trademark mellow tone Fliptrix takes us on a luscious<br />
melodic journey, delving in to a variety of flows as his lyricism<br />
explores purpose in life and the social constraints around us on a<br />
daily basis. With eloquence and hypnotic undertones, Fliptrix pieces<br />
together an introspective masterpiece over the production from<br />
Chemo, exploring an array of difference from his well known boombap<br />
style of delivery. Bringing the record to life and adding further<br />
emphasis to the tracks themes via the Complex premiered visual,<br />
Fliptrix's words translate into images as we follow in the footsteps<br />
of the protagonist as he delves into a contemplative state of mind,<br />
surrounded by the serenity and simplicity of nature at its finest. In<br />
complete juxtaposition to its surroundings, Fliptrix finds himself<br />
searching for a series of lyrical clues amongst a cold, concrete,<br />
derelict building, leading him to a box of memories, all coming<br />
together to clearly reflect the inner turmoil of us fighting between a<br />
world of simplicity and freedom and that of monotony and<br />
constraints.<br />
After revealing the full tracklist for the album this week, which is<br />
produced by Chemo, Molotov & Joe Corfield, fans and music critics<br />
are itching to hear as much as they can before the album is officially<br />
released on 24th August. With UK Hip Hop royalty Skinnyman, Ocean<br />
Wisdom, Capo Lee, Coops, Carmody and more all featuring across<br />
the 16 tracks, the album provides new talent, varying genre flavours<br />
and highly respected pioneers of the UK sound.<br />

“Chasing” by Tomhio is an instant hit! A bright and lively<br />
production together with appealing vocals. It has a fun, modern<br />
style to give energy and excitement to the party.<br />
Tomhio is a 19 years old musical prodigy from Rotterdam, The<br />
Netherlands. At a young age, he started playing the piano and then<br />
developed his skills as a talented drummer. After being asked to<br />
play drums in a band with friends, he became interested in<br />
recording their material. He explored working with recording<br />
software and in no time he was recording and producing music for<br />
the band. He also started to make his own music and experimented<br />
with sequencing. As a huge fan of dance music, it was only a matter<br />
of time before he would produce his first dance track, and that<br />
moment has arrived with the banging debut of Chasing! Proving to<br />
be a new Dutch talent to be reckoned with, Tomhio’s debut stands<br />
out with a massive drop, awesome vocals and a slightly different<br />
sound. Unique and catchy,<br />

‘Caught Up Caught Out’ by Mon Frère ft Kate Wild tells a treacherous love<br />
story. The beautifully striking strings lead us in to the track. I fear we're<br />
running out of time, my love. The bold voice reflects a distressed heart and<br />
dwindling faith. I'm tired of hiding. The steady pace moves our emotions<br />
together with the dynamic highs and lows.<br />
The new single highlights the complexities of an intimate romance which<br />
should never have begun. The initial liaison is turning into a relationship<br />
which can only hurt the unknowing partners. Betrayal will only serve to ruin<br />
lives. Feelings of guilt are over-whelming.<br />

‘Abruzzo’ by Davide Carbone holds a fantastic blend of the light and dark<br />
side. The title track is a beautiful piece with a light-hearted feeling,<br />
subtle flourishes and a hazy air to sink into. Second track ‘The Upside<br />
Down’ has the darker edge with the moody bass and wobbles, yet the<br />
beat is not too heavy and intrigues with it’s fragmented structure. Both<br />
tracks are well-produced in an understated way.<br />
After a seven year hiatus Davide Carbone’s BS1 Records returns for 2018<br />
with a fresh array of releases and remixes from an all-star cast including<br />
Carbone, Royalston and the legendary Carl Cox to introduce the BS1<br />
brand to the next generation.<br />
Already featured during Beats 1’s D&B month, ‘Abruzzo’ and ‘The Upside<br />
Down’ see Davide taking a break from his film, tv and gaming music work<br />
to deliver two proper pieces of drum & bass that continue the BS1<br />
journey in fine fashion.<br />
Established in 1999, BS1 nurtured the early careers of many a D&B<br />
lynchpin including TC, Blame, Heist, Lomax (one half of Loadstar),<br />
Decoder (Kosheen) and Distorted Minds. Their studio page was the<br />
original and most popular source of high quality samples created by its<br />
own artists and made available to the general D&B production<br />
community. Such was the notoriety that many labels did and still do<br />
request demo submissions that don’t feature ‘samples from the BS1<br />
Records website’.<br />

‘Depend On Me’ by Cores ft Maz shares the to’s and fro’s of a relationship. His<br />
deep, raspy flow. His downhearted feelings. Her soft and soothing tones. Her<br />
reassuring love. The light and soulful beats are a lovely accompaniment,<br />
allowing the vocals to remain the main focus.<br />
Produced by Cores, ‘Depend On Me’ puts a 2018 spin on the Teedra Moses’<br />
2009 hit single ‘Be Your Girl’. Combining vibrant drum patterns with the<br />
mellow tones of Cores and Maz’ silky vocals on the hook, the lyrics detail the<br />
peaks and troughs of a relationship and wanting to ‘have your cake and eat it<br />
too’. This tongue-in-cheek track does have a deeper layer to it though,<br />
exploring the idea of fear in love and relationships.<br />
Having spent the early 2000’s in the influential pirate radio crew ‘Haunted<br />
House Production’s’ the producer and emcee is verified in his authenticity.<br />
Flash back to Professor Green’s 2006 standout record ‘Upper Clapton Dance’,<br />
which featured the man himself, not only on production but laying down the<br />
final verse too. Although Cores honed in on his production craft, which<br />
awarded him with a string of ground-breaking records including Adamhood<br />
from the film Adulthood, Keep Moving by Paloma Faith, Bashy and Adam<br />
Deacon (from the 4, 3, 2, 1 movie soundtrack), and most notably as Executive<br />
Producer across all of Professor Green’s albums to date, his love and talent for<br />
emceeing has always remained burning bright.<br />
After returning to the mic last year with two new tracks as an artist and<br />
showcasing his abilities across the board as rapper, producer and mixer,<br />
‘Depend On Me’ showcases his maturity and talent alongside intricately woven<br />
beats, high-end sonics and sharp-tongued bars.<br />

‘CHANGE’ by Parsifal is a moving journey. The mellow waves seep into you.<br />
There is a great sense of anticipation and high intensity in the build up. The<br />
minimal drop gives a feelgood vibe and your body starts moving with the<br />
beats. There is simplicity in the general structure, yet a wonderfully complex<br />
texture of sounds. The remix by Tommy J Gren is deep and dark with a strong,<br />
progressive middle section.<br />
With his unmistakable touch, Parsifal, returns alone under the spotlights with a<br />
single on Kinesen. The song highlights the artistic evolution of the Parisian<br />
producer who is finally able to outburst and let free all his creativity. 'Change'<br />
unites his emblematic energy, to more quiet and intimate moments, with deep<br />
sounds and hypnotic environments.<br />
The original one is shadowed by Tommy J Gren remix, who gives 'Change' his<br />
personal and unique touch with a Melodic Techno characteristics song. TJG<br />
brings us on a trip with melancholy notes which usually represent a change,<br />
and once accepted, it slowly explodes in a mixture of pure energy!<br />

‘Coconuts’ by Frankie Stew and<br />
Harvey Gunn has a relaxed mood<br />
along with easy-going vocals. The<br />
soft, chilled track has nice<br />
rhythmic beats and a deep little<br />
interlude section. The vocals are<br />
somewhat monotonous, yet at the<br />
same time, the simple raspy flow<br />
is addictive.<br />
Opening with the sweet sounds of<br />
the sea and birdcall, the simple<br />
percussive beat then kicks in to<br />
lay the foundations of the record.<br />
As the track progresses, Harvey<br />
Gunn’s technical prowess and<br />
boundary breaking innovation as<br />
a producer comes to the<br />
forefront. The intricate layers of<br />
instrumentation, samples,<br />
melodies and vocals build, and<br />
the quirky dynamics of this<br />
standout record are shaped,<br />
creating the canvas for Frankie<br />
Stew and his lyrical mastery.<br />

‘Holiday’ by Streetbeatz ft Dun D<br />
& Timbo is a super chill track.<br />
There is a lovely blend of the<br />
mellow vibe, the light and playful<br />
instrumentation, the raspy vocals<br />
and generally a good feeling<br />
throughout. You’ll be singing “na<br />
na na-na-na”.<br />
52 www.AudationMagazine.com<br />
Encompassing a mixture of afrowave<br />
and afro-bashment,<br />
‘Holiday’ evokes an abundance of<br />
feel-good vibes. Although each<br />
artist individually creates a<br />
different variation of the afrofusion<br />
genres, the song is the<br />
playground where all these<br />
influences meet and the uplifting<br />
nature of the track is perfectly<br />
paired with the visuals, set on a<br />
beautiful beach backdrop in a<br />
tropical location.<br />

‘2B’ by AirLab7 is simply a fantastic trance track. The intense, driving force.<br />
The subtle, warm and hazy vocal. The deep atmosphere. Pretty little melodies<br />
in a light interlude. And finally, a strong and energising main section.<br />
Timeless, majestic and emotional. Just some of the words to describe the next<br />
release on Infrasonic Pure from AirLab7. Hailing from Honduras, this fresh<br />
newcomer drops the mighty sounds of '2B' and as you'd expect from any<br />
Infrasonic Pure record, the track ticks all the right boxes. From the rolling,<br />
slamming groove to the lush spine tingling breakdown, '2B' delivers in all the<br />
right areas and thanks to the epic drop, hits the spot every single time.<br />

VFAC 004 is the latest addition to the Vinyl For A Cause<br />
catalogue in partnership with Reverb LP. Side A<br />
features ‘Muddy’ by Jamila Woods which consists of a<br />
fearless attitude against a grunge-style tone, though<br />
with surprisingly beautiful accents. Side B features<br />
‘Snow Day’ by Kevin Coval & Tasha which has a<br />
pleasant mellow groove together with warm, soulful<br />
vocals to create an interesting dream state of the mind.<br />
The proceeds of this record go to the Young Chicago<br />
Authors organisation which helps to develop creative<br />
expression for the Chicago youth through school<br />
partnerships, free writing workshops, open mic nights<br />
and poetry slams.<br />

“All that money goes to support a new generation of<br />
lyricists, beat makers, singers, poets and creatives in<br />
this city.” Kevin Coval<br />
This release is for all the Spoken Word/R&B/Soul fans<br />
out there! It’s with great admiration, respect, and<br />
privilege that we announce our newest release, VFAC<br />
004, featuring Jamila Woods on Side A and Kevin Coval<br />
and Tasha on Side B. These artists absolutely bleed<br />
Chicago red and blue and we couldn’t have asked for a<br />
better group to work with. VFAC 004 will be benefiting<br />
a charity very close to their hearts, Young Chicago<br />
Authors. YCA is an incredible organization that has<br />
done, and continues to do incredible work with youth in<br />
this city. Please see below to learn more about Kevin,<br />
Tasha, Jamila, and the YCA. Also make sure you follow<br />
Paul Branton and his fantastic artwork. We were lucky<br />
to have him donate the artwork for this release!<br />

‘Open Arms’ by MYKROBOY is sublime. The title track offers a cool tone<br />
together with flavourful beats and warm vocals. The piano elements and<br />
sweeping atmosphere draw you in. Second track ‘Horizon’ has a pretty<br />
entrance with the sweet bird songs and oriental strings. There is<br />
dramatic surge of power and the feeling is just indescribable, taking<br />
over your senses entirely. The trio is completed with ‘Deja Vu’ which uses<br />
a light piano melody to entice us, then we are further gripped by the<br />
sensational passion. The clash of cymbals, the rush of excitement and<br />
brilliantly, gleaming joy washing over your soul.<br />
Downplay is proud to present the debut EP from new Manchester<br />
producer MYKROBOY. ‘Open Arms’ is a magical track - equal parts<br />
soothing synths and languorous vocals sprinkled over a robust 2-step<br />
groove, that slowly unfolds into a 4x4 piano roller. It’s the kind of track<br />
that is easy to get lost in - every component compliments the others with<br />
beguiling results.<br />
‘Horizon’ takes you even deeper, rolling beats underpinning a truly<br />
spellbinding journey that is equal parts cinematic and emotive. Garage<br />
tracks like this are rare to come by these days - something that takes the<br />
template and twists it into new shapes.<br />
‘Deja Vu’ rolls out on lush piano keys and sugar sweet vocals with a firing<br />
breakbeat foundation for something totally refreshing, before unfurling<br />
with an orchestral grandiosity that showcases just how versatile this new<br />
artist really is.<br />

‘The Story of Planaxis’ Tomorrowland 2018 compilation by Armin Van Buuren,<br />
Axwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Lost Frequencies is epic! One of the<br />
hottest dance music festival’s on the planet has just ended, each year growing<br />
bigger and each year presenting the best modern-day EDM artists. The theme<br />
this year surrounds mystery and magic, stories waiting to be discovered. A few<br />
favourites on the compilation which is release on Cr2 Records include high<br />
octane ‘Blah Blah Blah’ by Armin van Buuren, chilled out ‘Reality’ by Lost<br />
Frequencies ft Janieck Devy and mesmerising ‘Glow’ by D.O.D.<br />
Hands up anyone that has been to Tomorrowland? Those lucky enough to have<br />
visited arguably the largest festival in the world will tell you that it is an<br />
extraordinary experience. Located in the aptly named town of ‘Boom’ in<br />
Belgium, now in its 14th year, the sheer scale of the festival will overwhelm you.<br />
Think 16 stages, 400,000 people from over 75 countries split over two glorious<br />
weekends all with a will to dance.<br />
Tomorrowland is a step beyond the conventional big festival, going all out on<br />
design, creating another world for the time that you are with them. The main<br />
stage itself is extraordinary, gigantic in size and scale with pyrotechnics, state of<br />
the art lighting and sound and packing a wow factor that would be hard to<br />
experience on this scale anywhere else.<br />
The festival has steadily grown, due in large part to mainstream pop culture’s<br />
continued embrace of this decade’s Electronic Dance Music explosion. It<br />
eclipses some of the biggest events in the world when compared to internet<br />
social media chitter chatter. Tomorowland amasses more tweets, insta and FB<br />
posts than Glastonbury, Burningman, Cochella, and Ultra music festivals<br />
combined. Even more than the F1, Wimbeldon, The Oscars and Tour De France<br />
put together.<br />
This year the theme is ‘The Story of Planaxis’ – a kind of lost city of Atlantis idea,<br />
think magical submerged cities, extraordinary sea creatures and underwater<br />
mystery and the namesake of this year’s compilation.<br />
Now some of the festivals biggest names bring you their take on the<br />
Tomorowland sound. While Armin van Buuren, Axwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike<br />
and Lost Frequencies conquer the Mainstage during the first weekend, you can<br />
also enjoy the legendary mash-ups of their best tracks at home. The four DJs all<br />
made special 30-minute sets, exclusive to the first 2 volumes of ‘The Story of<br />
Planaxis’. The third volume offers a unique Tomorrowland Mix 2018.<br />
Either as a memento of your experience or those that just want to sample the<br />
flavour of this incredible festival, this compilation will bring you a snapshot of<br />
the biggest tracks and high-octane moments of the event.<br />

‘Valley of Time’ by MBX holds a huge energy. The progressive lead up teases us<br />
with a full texture of many little melodies and a vocal elements building<br />
anticipation. The main section is bursting with power and jump-up energy.<br />
The indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in<br />
apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the<br />
future. This is the time concept defined. Translate this to sound and we find<br />
MBX running wild with this fundamental puzzle piece of our known universe,<br />
developing a powerful auditory picture.<br />

‘Rain Dance’ by Tough Love has a fun and flavourful vibe. The lively track get<br />
you moving together with the fresh, vibrant tones. The vocals are equally fresh<br />
and appealing to make this a great summer hit.<br />
London-based house duo Tough Love have been at the forefront of house<br />
music for the past five years. Now established as accomplished songwriters<br />
and producers, they have also built up a strong reputation for their remix<br />
abilities including re-rubs for Clean Bandit, Sigma, Jamiroquai and Craig David.<br />
With recent releases gaining recognition from well-known tastemakers such as<br />
BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Mistajam and Danny Howard to<br />
underground figureheads Camelphat, Todd Terry and Roger Sanchez, in<br />
addition to being consistently in the Beatport and Traxsource top 20.<br />
Having previously been signed to the most influential major and independent<br />
record labels around including Nervous, Toolroom, Nothing Else Matters, Sony<br />
Columbia and Kenny Dope’s Dope Wax, they also have their own successful<br />
imprint, Get Twisted. Tough Love strike the ultimate balance of releasing big<br />
records whilst still being part of the respected underground scene.<br />
They now present their newest single ‘Rain Dance’. Continuing to keep their<br />
bar firmly raised, the new single is laced with the classic dub elements,<br />
synonymous with the Tough Love sound. Signature dubby basslines and strong<br />
piano stabs with a Balearic feel, incorporating steel pans and an uplifting feel<br />
good vocal. All comes together to make a highly danceable track, primed for<br />
international dancefloors this summer.<br />

‘Chasing Shadows’ by Jess Folley is a gentle pop song depicting the fight for<br />
one’s love. Her versatile voice is the main focus with bright tones at the chorus<br />
contrasted with deep, soulful depth in the verses. The track is simple and soft<br />
with pace to sway with.<br />
At only 15 years old, Jess Folley has already won a national TV competition<br />
and made headlines in The Sun, Daily Mail, OK Magazine and Billboard! The<br />
young starlet wowed coaches and fans on the ‘The Voice Kids’, winning the<br />
show with a final performance that Will.i.am said, ‘Scorched the stage!’ Jess is<br />
now releasing her debut solo single ‘Chasing Shadows’. co-written with award<br />
winning producer and director of DM Unsigned, Darren Martyn. Jess says,<br />
“since winning the Voice Kids, I’ve taken time out to focus on my sound and<br />
develop as an artist. I love writing songs almost as much as I love singing them<br />
and want to be fully involved in all the music I make. Working with DM<br />
Unsigned has helped me do that. I’m excited for everyone to hear ‘Chasing<br />
Shadows’ and everything that is going to follow!”<br />
At the tender age of four, Jess joined a local dance school and was quickly<br />
spotted as a young talent. Regular shows, festivals and talent competitions<br />
helped her gain confidence and it wasn’t long before local media started to<br />
take notice and she began to grow a following. She was an instant hit on ‘The<br />
Voice Kids’ and, since winning, her social media fanbase has rocketed. Jess<br />
was so popular with the producers of the show that they asked her to return<br />
for an interview at this year’s live final. You can catch Jess speaking with<br />
Emma Willis, along with a clip of her video for ‘Chasing Shadows’ on ITV on<br />
21st July. You can also see her perform live this month on 22nd July at the<br />
Wings and Wheels Festival in Havering, and on 28th July at the Southend<br />
Relay Summer Festival.<br />
