Spotlight 

If You Know You Know 

By Pusha-T, this track has a killer main 

hook. The first 45 seconds are a little too 

repetitive for my tastes, with the word 

“boy” overworked. But the drop brings 

fire. That little melody and vocal clip 

together with the lyrical flow is insanely 

addictive. The track remains lively with 

little tone changes here and there. 

Featured on ‘Vice is now on All 4’ advert. 

Kamikaze 

I can’t believe I forgot to mention this in 

our last issue. How amazing is this new 

album? Most of us are saying the same 

thing - the real slim shady is back! This is 

Eminem at his finest with that raw, snappy, 

fierce attitude and incredible talent. 


Time In A Bottle 

Lykke Li covers Jim Croce’s song with a 

beautifully husky voice and a soft, 

contemporary piano track underneath - 

simply divine. However, that particular 

version does not seem to be anywhere 

other than on an advert. The main track 

does hold the husky voice though pairs it 

with a tuneful country guitar melody. 

Featured on Fuze Tea 2018 advert. 

#EltonJohnLewis 

Christmas is just around the corner which 

means the big brands are battling against 

each other for the best seasonal tv advert. 

Each year John Lewis creates a 

heartwarming campaign, and this year was 

no exception. ‘The Boy and The Piano’ 

vividly tells the story of music legend 

Elton John with his beloved instrument. It 

turns back time, spanning across his 

career, to finally see him as a child 

running down the stairs all excited on 

Christmas morning. His present? The 

piano. A gift which gave this little boy 

courage to follow his passion. The 

accompanying ‘Your Song’ sits perfectly 

with this advert… My gift is my song.

H I G H E R @ S t u d i o 3 3 8 

Within recent years Solardo have risen to become one 

of the most sought after acts on the underground music 

scene. Their hard-driving, party-starting style of Tech 

House, which is evident in their tracks & DJ sets has seen 

the boys from Manchester score numerous number 1s 

and top ten hits, and play at some of the biggest parties 

across the globe. With the Ibiza season at a close, 

Halloween already drifting away and Christmas still 

feeling a young age away, “Higher” a showcase 

presented by Solardo was the perfect anecdote to bridge 

the gap. The line up set to be showcased at the newly 

re-built Studio 338 in Greenwich, London was 

heavyweight. A top heavy line up playing through a bass 

heavy Void sound system balanced out with upcoming 

DJs Mason Maynard & Late Replies playing some cool 

early sets. 

It may have been raining cats and dogs but the heavy 

showers didn’t deter faithful from turning out in full 

swing as the sold out show was almost at full capacity 

from early. Mason Maynard, a young UK DJ who is set to 

light the scene up in the very near future, played an 

incredible early set, leaving the helm rocking for LEON 

to go b2b with Joey Daniel. Staged under the newly redeveloped 

terrace of Studio 338, with ravers avidly fist 

pumping from the balcony above, Solardo accompanied 

by special guest Andrea Olivia churned out riddim after 

riddim for hour upon hour. There were countless fresh 

tracks being dropped alongside older classics such as 

Detroit Grand Pubah’s track ‘Sandwiches’ educating the 

younger generation. One of the most if not the stand out 

moment of the night, was when Solardo dropped their 

smash hit track ‘Somebody’. When this track was dropped 

the whole venue rocked. The whole venue, right from 

the very back of the inside club part to the front of the 

terrace, stopped rocked and relentlessly sung in unison 

the words to the song and dropped again whenever the 

b-line dropped. The night was brought to a close with an 

amazing dark set by Avorte label boss Sante, the perfect 

way to end 11hrs solid music.

Dancing In Mauritius 

I can’t say that I’ve ever danced so much! 4 

weeks whizzed by and it was a holiday fuelled 

by music. Let me take you back to the 

beginning… 

It started off with the general meetings or to 

“zwenn” with relatives. The first trip to the 

beach proceeded and the serene atmosphere 

washed over me once more. There is such 

peace in the sounds and movements of the 

waves kissing the shore whilst the sunlight 

warms you. My cousin’s wedding was the next 

occasion. One of my honorary sisters. It was so 

special to see her fairytale unfold. This also 

brought my first taste of a song which wowed 

me on this trip, ‘Mein Tenu Samjhawan’ 

performed by Ebanez at the wedding 

reception. The female vocalist had a stunning 

voice reaching such exquisite sweet high notes 

together the striking live band. 

More beach trips followed and I was especially 

captivated by Anse La Raie, although it is small 

I felt a quiet charm in the energy here. 

Bollywood fever took over with my next music 

dose. One song I caught over the week which I 

liked was ‘Tareefan’ by QARAN ft Badshah with 

a sexy, smooth tone. A cheesy movie night 

watching ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’ got me 

wiggling with the spicy track ‘Bom Diggy Diggy’ 

by Zack Knight ft Jasmin Walia which I have 

previously reviewed. The next track which I 

really enjoyed from the film was the modern 

Indian number ‘Dil Chori’ by Yo 

Yo Honey Singh ft Simar Kaur 

& Ishers. 


A great mix of sightseeing, dodo quest, 

drinking, stargazing and baking filled the 

days. One Friday night took me to the Flying 

Dodo Brewing Company which had such a 

warm atmosphere, good food, drinks and 

good music. The Irish was the natural go-to 

afterwards, and I was welcomed by a 

fantastic live jazz performance complete 

with a lovely rendition of ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ 

on the saxophone. As is a perfect ending to 

the evening, the DJ came on and my soul 

sister and I started the party, dancing like 

there’s no tomorrow. 

Throughout the holiday, one radio station 

was the top choice - NRJ Maurice. Living up 

to its slogan “Hit Music Only”, this station 

holds a young, fresh vibe playing both local 

and international music. One huge trending 

song there was ’Taki Taki’ by DJ Snake ft 

Selena Gomez, Ozuna & Cardi B with its 

raunchy, flavourful, dance mood. A few 

more tracks which caught my attention are 

‘Later B*tches’ by The Prince Karma with a 

fabulously filthy club vibe and ‘Coco’ by 

Elijah & Otentik Groove with a soulful, lighthearted 

flow. 

I got to check out some killer events too, 

explore this issue to find out more on those. 

I ended up dancing everywhere: parties, on 

the beach, in the car, around shopping 

malls, in public toilets… yeah literally 

everywhere! It So, with that in mind, I’ll 

leave you with this simple statement: 

Whatever the situation, enjoy the groove. 

15

Let It Be 

In our pain and sufferings, 

When all hope seems lost, 

Give light to the opportunity of acceptance. 

In times where troubles cripple us, 

When there seems way for us to redeem, 

Find refuge in the present, even if we're down and wary. 

When you feel like giving up, 

Overwhelmed by darkness, 

Close your eyes and let it be. 

No time of tomorrow, 

No more worries from yesterday. 

No wonders in today. 

Just let it be. 

There is a light in the present. 

There is an answer in acceptance. 

Take a chance on your presence. 

And just let it be.

ROKURO'S 

TRACK OF THE MONTH: 

'Better Now' by Post Malone 

Better Now sits right in the middle of Post Malone’s 2018 

album ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys’ and recently peaked at #5 

on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Listening through the whole 

album, this is the one that really grabs me with 808 hip hop 

and trap drums, pop rock style guitars and a chorus hook to 

die for. Post Malone singing about a romance break up and 

the fact that both parties, whoever they may be, are better 

off now that it’s over (which is something many of us can 

probably relate to). This song has a seriously catchy chorus 

that repeats over and over until it gets firmly stuck in your 

vortex while keeping the verse short. sweet and to the point. 

The arrangement allows itself to be the beating heart of 

this song, it keeps you going back multiple times to the 

start of the track and have it on repeat. Even though It’s in 

essence a break up song, it’s very up and euphoric at the 

same time and for me definitely the main hit from the album. 

A fantastic artist that has much much more to offer in future 

years. Post Malone. The Future.

2018 not only came in with a bang, but 

it appears to be going out with a bang 

as we see the original Artful Dodger 

duo continue to make a comeback as 

Original Dodger. Legendary producers 

Pete Devereux and Mark Hill have been 

back in the studio and have just 

released another album, ‘Momentum’. 

The album contains the tracks 

‘Bubblin’ with vocals from Daniel 

Bedingfield and ‘Give You Up’ 

featuring IDA. 

Let’s begin with a little trip down 

memory lane. Artful Dodger are wellknown 

to be amidst the huge buzz of 

UK Garage in the 90’s and early 00’s. 

They quickly rose to fame with hits 

including ‘Movin’ Too Fast’ ft Romina 

Johnson, ‘Re-Rewind’ ft Craig David 

and ‘Please Don’t Turn Me On’ ft Lifford. 

This movement eventually came to a 

end with many stating that the genre 

died, but this is simply not true. 

Producers never stopped making great 

UKG, it just went back to the 

underground scene. A lot changed for 

the duo too in that phase and they 

ended up selling the usage of the 

“Artful Dodger” name. Fast-forward to 

the present day, we see that name on 

events and many still assume that they 

are the former stars. However, that 

identity is now formed of new 

members and a whole new concept. 

Neither one of the original producers 

have sat idle over the years. They both 

have continued their musical 


endeavors. Mark Hill continued 

producing under the name Artful with 

tracks including ‘Could Just Be The 

Baseline’ ft Kal Lavelle and ‘Architect’ 

ft Cairo. He also recently launched 

60hz, an underground, artistcontrolled 

record label for garage, 

dance and RnB souls of the future. Also, 

earlier this year he opened a new 

studio along the coast of Cornwall, 

Bedruthan Studios. A full service 

recording studio housed in a gorgeous 

log cabin just minutes from the beach. 

Pete Devereux continued producing 

house and garage music under the 

name DEVolution together with Tom 

Devos. Their most notable track is 

‘Good Love’ ft Amy Pearson, which has 

become a timeless dance piece. 

August 2016, this is the first glimpse 

we had of a reunion for the pair. That 

selfie. The two with finger’s to their 

lips in sign of a hushed secret, a teasing 

hashtag of #mumstheword and the 

mention of talking about “some stuff”. 

I think it’s fair to say that the majority 

of UK Garage fans went crazy! The 

rebranding was unveiled and we were 

introduced to Original Dodger. May 

2017 saw the release of their first 

single ‘Millionaire’ ft Daecolm X P 

Money X DaVinChe which was a fresh 

and lively number. ’Find Space’ ft 

Shakka came next in December of the 

same year, with emotive vocals and an 

appealing track. This start not only 

showed off their skills once more, but 

also made the statement that no matter 

how long it’s been and what has 

passed, these two are still legends. 

Released in September 2018, the 

Momentum EP is a fun and lively set of 

tracks. ‘Give You Up’ ft Ida has a nononsenve 

attitude and a sexy edge to 

the bass. The Vybz Riddim Mix takes 

down the pace and adds colourful 

beats. The second instalment is 

‘Bubblin’’ ft Daniel Bedingfield which 

has a gorgeous bouncy rhythm and fire 

in those vocals. The DVRX VIP Mix twists 

this with a choppy house style. We are 

loving the new EP and are looking 

forward to many more releases from 

this talented duo. We’re also thrilled to 

have the lads chat with us as they 

embark on this new journey... 

Tell us about yourselves and how you 

started out in the music industry 

Mark: I’ve been interested in music as 

long as I remember, both my 

grandfathers were very musical and I 

loved messing about with instruments 

and singing when I was young. While at 

school i decided to change from 

pursuing a career in architecture to 

study music properly, and then set up a 

studio in Southampton while at uni. It 

was at that studio I met Pete and Craig 

David. 

Pete: I have played the piano since the 

age of 4 and began DJing in 

Southampton soon after I finished 

college in the mid 90’s, at which point I 

picked up the Yellow Pages and called 

Mark’s studio to book some time in, 

which was the beginning of the original 

Artful Dodger project. I took some time 

out after the shenanigans of AD and 

began working on a project called The 

Midnight Circus for a few years before 

forming DEVolution, which was all a lot 

of fun. 

19

The Momemtum EP, what were the 

ideas behind it? 

If we’re honest the title was a little 

ironic and born out of frustration of 

the sheer time it was taking to get tracks 

released. We also wanted to make a 

commitment to ourselves and fans that 

the intention moving forward is to 

create much more momentum with 

music coming out and shows, as we have 

been doing lately. 

Let’s rewind, how do you feel now 

looking back on your past stardom? 

Would you have done anything 

differently? And, are there any 

particular favourite moments from 

back then? 

Well looking back we could say that we 

made a lot of bad moves but, I think we’d 

both say that, ultimately some of the 

bad moves lead to good things so it’s 

hard to say that we would have changed 

anything. We survived it most 

importantly and still love doing what we 

do and there were so many incredible 

moments like playing to enormous 

crowds in Glastonbury, performing on 

the now defunct Top of the Pops was 

pretty cool, not to mention Jools 

Holland. The only regret would be not 

getting a Blue Peter badge! 

A few thoughts from you on the “Artful 

Dodger” identity and how you guys feel 

about its usage now? 

Do you find your fan base to be more 

spread across the globe now than 

before? If so, do you believe that is due 

to the accessibility of social media? 

It certainly is more widespread, as are 

most things these days, which is such a 

refreshing feeling as we always felt 

back in 2000 that we weren’t getting 

the chance to push the tracks overseas 

as much as we would have liked. Social 

media is at times a blessing and a curse, 

but it is brilliant that you can connect 

music with people all around the globe 

instantly. 

It’s frustrating as f*** but we are 

concentrating on staying positive and 

focusing on our new music and shows, 

and hoping that eventually it will 

become obvious what happened! It’s 

definitely more than a bit weird to think 

a couple of random guys are happy to 

stand up in front of people and say they 

are us and that they made the music etc, 

pointless getting stressed about it and 

the more people who find out the truth 

the better. 

The reunion, simply how did it occur? 

What made you decide to get back 

together and make music again? 


We were both making dance music 

again and frustrated with the confusion 

over the name, our management 

chatted and suggested we meet for a 

coffee to think of a solution. After 

posting a selfie on socials, the positive 

response was overwhelming and it 

seemed a natural point to get back in 

the studio 

Has it been easy to get back into tune 

with one another in the studio? 

Easiest thing in the world. From the first 

day back in the studio it felt like we had 

never left! The process is different 

technically these days as we have our 

own spaces to work in, but the vibe is 

still as it was. 

What are your aims as Original Dodger? 

Just to enjoy it, work with good people, 

carry on a legacy that we’re proud of 

and get back out in front of people to 

see their reaction to the music 

All-time favourite UK Garage track and 

why? 

This honestly changes over time so we’d 

hate to single out one track in such a 

massive catalogue of bangers and we’re 

sure we would each have different 

choices. 

you need to put the hours in and enjoy it. 

Which artists are you really into right 

now… Who should we be listening to? 

Who do you wanna work with? 

Mark: I’m really enjoying Kastle, Mind of 

a Dragon, James TW on an acoustic tip 

& Tom Misch. 

Pete: I love 21 Pilots and every time 

Mantra by Bring Me The Horizon comes 

on in the car I nearly blow the speakers! 

Great to see Purple Disco Machine 

crossing over to a bigger audience too. 

Can you give us a glimpse of what plans 

you have as Original Dodger? And, do 

you see a tour in the future? 

We have just changed agents and are 

putting a tour together at the moment 

for the winter and into festival season 

next year. We want to keep the OD stuff 

coming thick and fast and also have a 

bunch of new music coming on my 

(Mark’s) new label 60hz Music focusing 

on emerging young talent.

What is your advice for those in the 

music industry? 

Stick at it and never stop learning and 

honing your craft. It’s so easy to make 

music these days that sounds finished, 

but there are few people that will 

consistently produce timeless music,

Always a reason to dance 

There is nothing wrong with dancing or going out to party. I refuse to 

accept it when I hear people tell “Oh I’m too old for all that now. I don’t 

go out dancing. I don’t rave anymore.” I’m of the conception that age has 

no bearing on if you should go out and shake a leg. Whether you have 

smooth dance moves like MJ or have 2 left feet like the old fella down 

the boozer smashed from too many lagers and a couple of jaeger bombs, 

you should always feel free to dance. We’re all accustomed to that age 

old saying “Dance like nobody’s watching” and there is many a reason to 

take note of those words, little more important than that dancing is good 

for the mind, body & soul. 

Picture this, it’s 7am on a cold Monday morning and you’re starting your 

daily journey. It might even be raining a little, but yet there is a random 

commuter avidly smiling whilst head bopping, foot tapping or even 

outright dancing whilst somewhat oblivious to the reactions of anybody 

else. Involved in their own private silent disco. Your first thought, most 

likely would be to think they were perhaps a touch crazy, but the chances 

are, it’s the signs of happiness that you are witnessing. An individual 

absorbed in a vibe that they feel right through their body. There has been 

extensive research into the connection between music, dance and health, 

all of which conclude with the answer that music and dancing is good for 

us. 

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those 

who could not hear the music.” - Friedrich Nietzsche. 

The correlation between music and mental health is something that 

cannot be doubted. For many a generation it has long been noted that 

the sound of music has a bearing on ones mental well-being and German 

philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was one of many who picked up on this. 

The great philosopher wrote numerous books on music and the mind but 

one of his aphorisms that always stands out is one written in 1889. “What 

trifles constitute happiness! The sound of a bagpipe. Without music life 

would be a mistake.” On a personal note I find this is a statement to be 

wholly true, as I view music as being life. We all live our lives in our very 

own way, tailor-made to a manner which suits us best but in the end we 

are all chasing the same target. HAPPINESS. 

Happiness is like the wall bracket that keeps your plasma TV attached to 


23

the wall, stable and secure stopping you from falling. If that bracket 

somehow manages to defect, it can leave things hanging in the balance, 

just like happiness. So it comes as no surprise to hear that many of us see 

the dancefloor as a sanctuary, a safe place or even an escape from the 

real world. The dancefloor is a place where music rules and good vibes 

are usually amplified. It’s a scientific fact that music releases dopamine 

into the brain giving us that feeling of euphoria that we can get from 

music, and dopamine is directly linked to happiness. Such things as 

depression, apathy and chronic fatigue can all be linked to dopamine 

deficiency - therefore making music essential to life. Music is therapeutic 

and it can also have the power to amplify your mood. Whether your 

mood be one of pure elation or a mood of a more downbeat nature, the 

sound of notes can have a part to play in how that mood manifests and 

undeniably your mood can affect your state of mind. 

“Where words fail, music speaks.” - Hans Christian Andersen 

Music therapy has long been a part of Western medicine since the 1950’s 

and there have been numerous studies into the correlation between 

music & health. Researchers from McGill University in Montreal found in 

a study that listening to music that you enjoy can increase dopamine 

levels by 9% in individuals. Mental health is an issue that affects us all in 

some way as we are all prone to having highs & lows within life. It’s just 

natural but I’d always advise that a person seek help if they ever feel like 

they need it. As they say, prevention is always better than cure, so it’s 

important to not hang up your dancing shoes. 

You’ll find that when dancing, an ample flow of mood-improving 

chemicals are released helping to elevate our mental state; even one 

lively dance session has been proven to reduce depression in 

comparison to vigorous exercise or listening to music, according to 

research conducted by The Arts in Psychotherapy. In the UK we may be 

finding it harder to find cool places to go dancing, especially for 

underground music lovers but there is always a place to dance. So for the 

sake of a positive mental health I encourage you all to grab your glad 

rags, dig out them dancing shoes and go dance the night away.

RUBY'S 

TRACK OF THE MONTH: 

'Uh Huh' by Jade Bird 

Ruthless! 

This sexy, grunge pop song is full of attitude and 

shows no mercy. 

Everybody sees that you’re just a little toy. 

I can’t help shouting along to the words and wanting 

to leap into the air when that killer main sections 

erupts. 

25

I was hit with a burst of immense, 

bright energy as I walked in. All of my 

senses were intrigued and I was 

interested to discover more. 

L’Aventure Du Sucre, 

Pamplemousses played hosts to the 

biggest music festival of Mauritius 

on 3 November. This whimsical 

location of a former sugar factory, 

now being a museum, was a delight 

to explore. 

Kaz’Out, the literal mixed translation 

of this is “out of your house” and “out 

of the box”. The event’s ambition is 

to get people out of the house to 

“discover, share and open yourself 

to new horizons.” They are not 

looking to only share what is in the 

mainstream scene, but rather give 

the spotlight to artists who openly 

express their passions and 

personalities on the stage. 

through nooks and crannies, hazily 

widening my eyes at the various 

curious things around me, holding 

one first intention of following the 

music. I found my way to the front of 

the Kanbar stage and was welcomed 

by rock / grunge group UnMind. Their 

wild, fist-pumping, jump-up sounds 

had me rocking out! It was so cool to 

even see little kids going crazy to this 

untamed music. They have a 

signature of powerful guitar riffs and 

are inspired by the likes of Nirvana, 

Seether and Foo Fighters. 

It was another gorgeous day of blue 

skies and the scorching hot sunshine, 

the crowd was super and there was 

lots to check out. Amidst the various 

features of the location itself were an 

array of food & beverage stalls, and 

more interestingly, vendors stalls. 

These stalls had a nice range of arts, 

crafts, clothes and accessories to 

browse. 

Upon entry, I found myself weaving 

26 www.AudationMagazine.com 

Over to the Dan Vilaz stage as the 

group Rasinn Kare gave a colourful 

performance with a lovely,

light-hearted flow and a touch of 

soulful grooves. Fusing the modern 

with the traditional, they expose 

emotions through their music. 

bold, sort of rock edge which was 

really cool. This maloya genre is 

native to Reunion islands and was at 

one time banned by authorities, the 

band maintain these roots whilst also 

developing it with a modern concept. 

Lounging in a field amongst many 

chilled and contented minds, the sun 

shining down together with great 

music filling the air from the live stage 

performance - at one moment, I had 

forgotten I was not in the UK! 

Simultaneously over on the Kanbar 

stage, DJ duo Revival brought fun, 

flavourful island dance vibes and got 

my hips wiggling. They were also 

joined by live percussions from a 

conga player. With Afro-oriented 

rhythms, they are influenced by 

Bernard Desmarais, John Digweed 

and Sasha. 

Off to the Kaz-Apero stage where the 

musical group Ziskakan entertained 

the crowd. They commenced with a 

lively folk style and then moved to a 

Trendy DJ group Økuna took to the 

Kanbar stage with rhythmic and melodic 

house music. Bouncing and swaying to 

their set, you’re lulled by their warm 

tones. Their music is described as a 

journey between dream and reality, 

with the fine balance of choppy beats 

and mesmerising sounds. 

Finally I got the opportunity to watch 

the band Patyatann perform on the Dan 

Vilaz stage. Their music was so pretty 

and versatile. The songs were so unique, 

each with a different state of mind and 

energy. It was audio poetry and you were 

pulled, like a magnet, to 

27

their emotions. Using native 

instruments, they celebrate the island’s 

cultural diversity and spirituality. 

Kaz’Out was such an incredible 

experience. Fantastic musicians, your 

curiosity being excited at every turn and 

a joyous atmosphere. The people were 

bundled together in a carefree daze. We 

were all at one, united by the love of 

music.

“GO FIND YOUR INNER PEACE” he said... SO SHE DID. 

Have you ever been through one of them experiences where everything in our 

life changes? Everything as we know it stops, shuts down, closes, ends, 

followed by an abyss of darkness. Driving us deep into a time when we think 

our way through that dark place. A time when our ego is in full control! All 

feelings have vanished. We’re numb. There's not a smidgen of that proverbial 

light at the end of the tunnel. 

Not yet anyway. 

There’s little choice. Or so we think. We keep on moving though, devoid of any 

feeling. In some cases lifetimes, years, maybe a few months, for some mere 

days, nonetheless a scary place to be at to say the least no? 

That dreaded fear. 

The Master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.” Stephen 

McCranie 

I'm not sure of the exact time I became aware that whatever was transpiring in 

my world was… well… way bigger than all of my 4 foot nothing. There were 

many, many signs that I did not recognise at first. How could I, when I was so 

deeply immersed in my ego? Well that changed rapidly. 

Profoundly one fine Saturday morning in Johannesburg, South Africa, 19 April 

2014 my life switched back on. Somebody pressed play. Literally. It was time 

for the next level. It was when I stepped into yet another reality. This time to 

start a cycle that made all others pale from been there done that into… this is 

pretty much the real deal, ride or die cycle! Once I latched onto the 

synchronicities there was no turning back so to speak. 

My DJ journey. 

Little did I "know" then where it would lead. 

Memory has it though that there was an onslaught of feelings tossing around 

like an unleashed wild something. My DJ mentor and amazing artist himself, 

Dave Skinz, raised my awareness to the enthusiasm I had for DJíng. 

Enthusiasm. A magical word I’ve embraced the past four years. I still feel it 

every time I step into the magical music zone. Techno to be more specific. It 

was a feeling I quickly became addicted to. For the first time in a long long 

time something inside was coming into Love. I could feel it. 


Let’s roll that word (enthusiasm) over our tongue, close our eyes, feel its color, 

inhale its sweet beckoning fragrance and allow it to seep into our senses as I 

endeavor to explain just what enthused me so… 

In light of my personal perspective, each and every soul on our beautiful 

planet is on a journey with purpose. All 7.6 odd billion of us! That blows my 

mind just thinking of the existential potential on our planet. Potential to be 

the change. No matter the actual micro or macrocosm of it, living our truth is 

the main trajectory. We each have a responsibility to awaken to our personal 

truth whatever that may look and feel like to us individually. 

I discovered along this journey that I would never BE THE LIGHT if I couldn’t 

face my dark first. My shadow. My stuff. My issues. Me demons. Fears. Anger. 

Grief. Pain. Defenselessness. Abandonment. Memories of chaos. 

Transformation is not for the feint hearted. I had to rid them or die trying. Oh 

yes I had a death wish in there to for a long time too. But I vowed to overcome 

this lesson in this lifetime. Turns out I vowed other things in past lifetimes too. 

Now there’s more to this story than I have the space to explain here. You’re 

welcome to subscribe to my Blog on SEKSiCuLLTURE. 

So what's all this got to do with Techno music and DJíng? 

Fast on a path that was working furiously in my favour, from South Africa (my 

karmic journey) to New Zealand, Thailand, Fiji and now Sydney, Australia… and 

this is just the (3D) physical reality, what I knew for sure is how it made me 

feel. I tuned into and followed the feeling, debated with my int-UI-tion like a 

warrior with a mission and took positive action (not always willingly) against 

every possible oddity a person could face (story for another time). 

I remember clearly that one time in the past when I was brutally directed to 

“go find your inner peace.” he said. 

Dear “Mr Catalyst” thank you for adding a twinkle to my path. Your brutality 

worked in my favour apparently. 

The short story is that I broke my own heart… twice… wide open. We all have 

this yin-yang energy going on. Masculine and Feminine Divine energy and it’s 

alive in us! How beautiful is that! From fear to freedom. From dark to light. 

From mental prisoner asleep to heart awakened. This heart I speak of… it exists 

within U & I. It’s our spiritual heart. You can’t see it. You feel it. 

Well. I’ve got news for you, so listen up. 

Music is my Truth. Techno is my Heart. Love the mediator that led to a 

31

connected, liberating, beautiful, surrender to my inner peace. I’ve found my 

Light. Shining it unreservedly is my Purpose. 

Moral of the story? 

Well… 

There are a few at our current dimension. Though if I may suggest, never give 

up on YOU. Miracles abound every single second of the day. We are never 

going to see it with our egos. We feel it by opening our hearts to listen. This is 

what I discovered on this here journey. 

“Both Light and Shadow are a dance of Love” Rumi 

Experience has it that, that evasive light at the end of the tunnel was the 

awakening to my own light. How could I possibly see it, if I at first did not 

embrace my shadow? Until then I was floating like a tossed cork on a stormy 

sea between here and no man’s land. Until it dawned on me that I was the 

lighthouse. 

By no means am I suggesting you leave your comfort zone, face your shadow 

self like a boss, take up DJíng at a questionable age, travel the world gangster 

style, get out of your own way or anything as adventurous and daring of the 

sort. Stranger things can manifest. 

What I’m alluding to is this… 

Find your ship, lock into your True North, discover your shore and anchor that 

baby. Step into your Truth. Step into your Purpose. Step into your Light and 

shine unapologetically. Shine your Light whatever that may be for you! Just 

shine baby! 

Use it, lose it or feel it. Free will is alive and well. 

So let’s dance. Or watch this space….

SEKSiCuLLTURE - Awakening Hearts

Some people want diamond rings 

Some just want everything 

But everything means nothing 

If I ain't got you 

Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You 33

I finally had the chance to attend a PURE 

event - one of the best beach party brands 

on the island, run by our friend and 

entertainment’s entrepreneur Javed Vayid, 

I was so excited!! This edition, as titled 

Royauté, was held on 2 November at the 

beautiful location of The St. Regis Mauritius 

Resort, Le Morne. The luxury rendez-vous 

theme allowed guests to unwind, indulge in 

fine tastes and be compelled by the music. 

But, before we get to that, I had an errand to 

run. Thursday afternoon and I’m enjoying the lovely vistas of the country 

heading to the airport to pick up Guy Mantzur. I felt like a VIP liaising with 

the headliner and representing PURE. He was so friendly and also was 

interested in the island’s history and culture. I, practically a tourist myself, 

somehow stumbled through informing him about Mauritius and being a 

rough guide, hopefully it half made sense! 

Friday. Event day. Also a public holiday which was good timing. Blue skies, 

the blazing hot sun and a gorgeous beach setting. It was really cool to see 

everything come together and also catch some rays. The resort has a brilliant 

view of the Le Morne Brabant Mountain which is a UNESCO World Heritage 

Site and is a symbol of freedom. 

Matsonic kicked off the event 

with warm grooves and a 

chilled atmosphere. There 

were hints of soulful and funky 

elements in his set to wet our 

appetites. From a young age 

Matsonic has been immersed 

in music with influences of 

rock, jazz and classical being 

fused into his electronic music 

mixes.

Tess was next onto the decks. She heated 

things up with a combination of flavourful 

sounds, upbeat tempos and a touch of the 

dark side. She really stood out, imparting 

her own excitement and joyful energy to 

the crowd. With a love for music through 

every moment in life, the underground 

scene gives Tess chills and she aims to 

inspire women to follow their dreams. 

Mid-party, the sun was setting and I couldn’t resist heading down to the 

beach to catch a glimpse. I was surprised to see it filled with people who 

had the same idea. The soothing waves and the beautiful sunset, day turning 

into night, the shifting of moods… mesmerising. 

Guy Mantzur completed the trio. When he stepped onto that stage, the 

crowd went wild! This fire did not burn out as he brought the party to a 

climax like an unstoppable adrenaline shot. His set was comprised of lively 

rhythmic pulses, hard-hitting power and sinful waves of deep intensity. 

With a unique blend of hypnotic melodies and seductive grooves, He made 

us feel the music, feel its soul and get lost in it. 

“Royauté was the most enjoyable event I have organised since a long 

time! Everything was perfect from my organiser point of view: people 

were happy, the weather was perfect, music was great and the energy 

was fantastic. 

PURE is bound to become a regional brand, people are asking for us in 

Reunion Island. Being the only employee of the company till now, it was 

very difficult to export our brand and know-how. But things are moving 

on, I am building my group with a corporate office and will be able to 

materialise my international ambitions next year.” 

- Javed Vayid 


Royautê was simply electric. From an initial state of beauty and pleasures, 

the frame of mind transitioned to a spark of excitement. The sense of serenity 

remained and you just let loose in that moment. The cherry on top was 

seeing Javed, the event organiser, dancing on stage madly with a huge grin 

on his face! That’s what life is about - putting your all into something you 

love, and enjoying it. 

_________________________________________________________________ 

Guy Mantzur has risen through Tel Aviv’s underground movement and is 

now a worldwide sensation. I was able to chat to him about the event and 

his career... 

Tell us about yourself and how you started in music. 

Hey, first I want to say thank you and good to be here. 

So, it all started way back when I was 6 years old, I discovered my love for 

music and started playing piano for five years, then guitar. 

At the age of 17 I started producing and got more and more into electronic 

music, it started from chill out and developed into what I'm doing today. 

You rocked Mauritius! What did you think about the event and the vibe 

from the crowd? 

I really loved the show in Mauritius. The place was magic for my music and 

the event was well-produced, but the big thanks goes to the amazing crowd 

who came and danced non-stop. Definitely one of my favorite spots from 

now on. 

Did you have any expectations before this event of what it would be like? 

And will you come back again? 

I heard from some of my friends very good feedback regarding the party 

scene in Mauritius but, to be honest, it was above my expectations. Add to 

this, all the people and the promoters Javed & Vashil took such good care 

of me, it all made me feel at home. i will be back for sure :-) 

37


You have releases on Lost & Found, New State Music, Kompakt and more... 

What inspires you when producing music? 

I can be inspired by many things, it can be a movie I saw, new or old songs 

i hear, people I meet or DJ sets I discover... I found lately that one of the 

most inspiring things for me is just take to some time off in a magic place, 

watching the sea, clear mind always helps me to set up my thoughts and 

get focused regarding creating. 

You co-own PlattenBank Records, what are the aims of the label? 

Plattenbank is my label in the last 12 years, it became our life project. We 

are planning every move with the label and always trying to move forward 

with our sound and music. One of our goals is to give a platform for artists, 

just by their music and not by their success or profile. For us music comes 

first and it always feels good to discover new pearls. 

What advice do you have for aspiring DJs & producers? 

Avoid following trends, they all have a short life time and they will end at 

some point . Be loyal to your true love and music style, and always keep 

what you are doing exciting. 

Future plans? 

I have some very special releases that i can’t talk about at the moment 

because it’s not announced yet, for sure one of them will be on Plattenbank. 

I have very exciting shows coming up: Australia tour, Tulum with Digweed, 

Miami, Panama on NYE, Budapest & more 

Any last words? 

Mauritius you got a new friend, i fall in love with your island and we will 

meet again for sure.

"This was the year of Ariana Grande and female empowerment, 

so I have to pick God Is A Woman as my top song of the year. It 

could've been seen as controversial, but instead it was accepted 

and loved by everyone with open arms. At the end of all she has 

been through, she is coming out on top with her female support 

system, so yes God most definitely can be a woman!" Sarah

"Every so often I find a track that speaks to my soul. Deeply. I 

know this when I’m moved to tears, time and again. Buggin' is 

one of those tracks. Refreshing, with the sexiest melody, deeply 

moving vocals that I resonate with, featuring my favourite 

favourite vocalist Jem Cooke and producers/DJ’s that need little 

introduction, Hot Since ’82 (Label Knee Deep in Sound). This 

one goes into my Gems folder for sure." Sharm 

Taylor Swift ft Ed Sheehan & Future - End Game 

"I just love the overall feel of the song and Ed Sheeran's feature 

is a nice thing there too. I also enjoyed the music video of this 

song, especially the moment of London in fireworks." Mary 

Solardo - Be Somebody 

"This is a track that I've seen captivate many a dancefloor. The 

bassline & groove throughout the track is solid and it has a 

stand out vocal. A vocal that sounds so epic if get the chance to 

see a 1000+ capacity venue rock and sing in unison the simple 

vocal the track contains, like I did at Studio 338 this year."

Justin Timberlake ft Chris Stapleton - Say Something 

"I wanna get there, to the place I wanna be. But still its hard to 

get through. Support needed from people around. Felt I could 

not make it on my own... I was looking for something i cant have 

really... still there were other plans for me and I found it deep 

within in the silence. When there is nothing to say, so that 

moment you can speak to yourself and I found the answers deep 

within." Steve 

Gavin James - Easy 

"It’s a raw, stripped-back song of what it means to fall in love 

with your best friend, and feel like you've won the lottery being 

with them. It explains how the world is tough and against you, 

but with the right partner you can make it through." Jessie 

Marshmello ft Bastille - Happier 

'After being asked to submit a piece about my song of the year I 

put a lot of thought into it. Which genre? Which mood? Fast or 

slow? I stumble each and every time I’m asked this question. My 

problem is that I love music so much it’s really hard to pick just 

one song! Some songs I feel based on the music, others the 

lyrics. But each song that makes me express “Oh! I love this 

song” are songs that make me feel, that I relate too. But since I 

do have to pick one song, I’ll choose Marshmellow - Happier ft 

Bastille. This song is a bit more mainstream EDM than I usually 

care for but the message in the song speaks to me and where I 

am in my life this year. No matter my interaction with people, I 

always wish them the best and I want them to be happier. 

Sometimes we have to make difficult choices for that to 

happen." Christina 

Dua Lipa - Electricity 

"The music helps you relax. It makes your mind wander in a 

whole different world." Ashna 

Ed Sheeran - Happier 

"I think that regardless of 'Godness'- like the success of Drake 

in the UK's charts my personal choice goes with latest Ed 

Sheeran's songs." Tamara 


Anderson .Paak ft Kendrick Lamar - TINTS 

'Sounding very 90’s Jamiroquai with tetro chords, funky guitars, 

and disco drums. Great vocals including a call and reply male 

and female glossy backing vocals which all come together to 

create an ultimate funky jam. It's always hard to name your 

track of the year so I went for something fairly recent. Produced 

by the legendary Dr Dre and topped off with a laid-back 

Kendrick Lamer rap. TINTS has everything. This track is off 

Anderson’s new 'Oxnard' album (also mostly produced by Dre) 

and is going to be one of the best albums of 2018/19. A great 

rapper and top notch soulful vocal singer and professional 

drummer. We love talent at Audiation Mag and Anderson .Paak 

has it in abundance. Believe nothing of what you hear, And only 

half of what you see. The message is in the music." Rokuro 

IDLES - Danny Nedelko 

"In a time of increasing division and bitterness, there's very 

little music out there speaking directly to people about 

challenging the hatred that is rising across the world. This song 

is about as perfect as possibly can be as shout-along terrace 

anthem for working class kids that promotes pro-immigration, 

pro-empathy, pro-love lyrics. 

All together: He's made of bones, he's made of blood 

He's made of flesh, he's made of love 

He's made of you, he's made of me 

UNITY!!!!!" Andy 

Armin van Buuren - Blah Blah Blah 

"This track is completely brash, senseless and a little trashy. 

And I cannot get enough of it! This is the ultimate EDM song 

with huge adrenaline and a wild, rebellious force. This year has 

been in such disarray of both good and bad. This year has been 

so crazy. This year has just been so blah blah blah!" Ruby

CIRCOLOCO 

It’s the party with the distinctive clown face that we all know and love. 

The party that undeniably owns Mondays each and every summer in 

Ibiza with a line up that looks like what you could call a UEFA 

Champions League of DJs. Circoloco. The Spanish to English 

translation for this party curated by 2 Italians reads ‘Crazy Circus’ and 

rightly so. For that is what springs to mind. A crazy circus of quality 

underground music, usually across 3 rooms at DC10. A party built on 

no gimmicks, just quality pedal to the metal House & Techno. Founded 

in 1999 as an after-hours night to follow on from the 24hr Sunday 

sessions at Space, Circoloco has been raising the bar for underground 

music parties for almost 20 years. And to this day it still continues to 

do so, leaving party goers with ever-lasting memories yearning for 

more. A ‘DJ’s DJ’ is a track selector of the highest decree, one who 

entertains the faithful whilst educating the well schooled. If this term 

could be applied to parties, then Circoloco is ‘The Party’s Party’. 

Such is the notoriety of this event, pretty much every name worth 

knowing in the House & Techno scene has played for Circoloco. So 

many of the big players in the game can stake a claim to holding a 

residency or guesting at Circoloco, among them, Tania Vulcano, 

Ricardo Villalobos, Loco Dice, Sacha, Dubfire, Clive Henry, Jamie 

Jones, The Martinez Brothers, Ellen Allien, Apolonia & Luciano. The list 

is incredible. So when Printworks announced their 2018 Autumn/ 

Winter programme, it came as no surprise to see the Circoloco date 

rapidly sell out without a line up to boot. Dates were checked and 

tickets were booked by revellers clinging to memories such as losing 

their s**t to Kerri Chandler dropping some fire in the red room of the 

terrace. 

Circoloco comes to London via Printworks on Sunday December 16th 

for what looks set to be another set of epic memories. The line up 

boast heavyweights such as Damian Lazarus, DJ Tennis, Skream, Richy 

Ahmed, Butch amongst others so you can expect magic to be created. 

Also just announced is an after party for the show over at the bass 

heavy venue of E1. Tickets for the events at time of writing are sold 

out but a cheeky look on platforms like TicketSwap and you might just 

seek some joy.

Sundays require a chilled motive, so the live and unplugged session at Vanilla 

Village in Black River, Mauritius was a perfect choice. This intimate setting was 

really warm, friendly and understated. A simple stage area, a quaint little 

outdoor cafe and the delights of the natural surroundings. 

The acoustic performances were really lovely. I caught Jagabags (aka Jason, 

the event organiser) first with his raw, folksy style. His gentle guitar and raspy 

vocals brought a comforting touch of Western Country sounds. The Climbers 

trio were next and they delivered wonderful, charming notes of the local 

flavours. Their smiles and joyful charisma made the audience smile too. Asia- 

Faith was the final act with a sweet purity radiating from her. Her beautiful 

voice touched hearts together with a deep reflection of her emotions. 

It was refreshing to have this little wholesome moment of good music and 

good vibes. It did inject peace and positivity, allowing you to just relax and 

enjoy yourself. I was able to speak with Jason about the Pozitive Vibes project 

and I was very much inspired by the way he spoke. He feels a strong 

determination and purpose to build up the creative community in Mauritius. 

He aims to nurture the minds of the younger generation and support local 

artists. It is also refreshing to know that he is one of those souls who only 

works with people he connects with and trusts - not people with money or 

certain statuses, you have to really be his friend and be genuinely passionate 

about their projects. 

www.facebook.com/PozitiveVibesMauritius 


We see Pozitive Vibes as a home for 

musicians, creative minds and 

intelligence. It can be seen as a 

wonderful platform where people who 

believe in their musical and artistic 

talents, can develop and grow in accord 

with their needs and interests. 

This is how we think we can help 

musicians and, by joining the club, 

musicians will always be invited to 

come and share the love. And if they are 

only just starting out, they can still come 

and do only one or two if they wish. We 

want to help them build confidence and 

to become the best they can be, in all 

aspects of their lives. 

So what do we do? 

1. We provide musicians at no cost to 

them a stage in a public place that is 

fully equipped. 

2. We negotiate with venues for 

musicians, to provide us with a space to 

have an "Open Stage," where musicians 

can come and perform in a kind, friendly 

environment to gain experience, share 

what they love and to meet other 

musicians and people who also love live 

music. 

3. Featured performance: Sometimes 

there are musicians that we must honor 

and give respect. We, therefore, 

provide opportunities for there to be 

featured artists who we then negotiate 

a fee for and give recognition to the 

contribution they have made to local 

music, or to where they have come from. 

experience they need so they can grow 

their brand and to give them all the 

recognition and publicity they deserve 

for all their hard work. 

- We recognise the performance fee 

they receive is never worth the effort, 

however, the show must go on! 

- We want to create networking 

opportunities. 

- We want to provide ongoing tuition. 

- We want to stage festivals, concerts 

and contests. 

Bands can sit in a studio and produce 

albums until the end of time – but 

ultimately the quality of a band can be 

judged by how well they play live. Why? 

You can't polish a turd. Because there is 

no second take in terms of performance 

skill and there is minimal processing on 

the sound to embellish or cover up any 

mistakes or inadequacies. 

We are here to support you in your 

journey towards excellence. We are 

setting in place a support system where 

members will be entitled to participate 

in our unique financial support system, 

because we recognise the difficulties 

musicians and artists go through. 

Wanna know more? Join us for regular 

jam sessions and club meets 

We are currently building a stage at 

Vanilla and when that is finished we are 

planning some awesome gigs.

No More Drama 

I’m rejecting every dramatic circumstance in my life 

No more tears, I’m tired of crying every night 

No more fear, I’m seeking light 

Devil, get off me! 

I’m only accepting peace of mind 

Not letting you have a piece of my mind 

I’m sick of broken heartedness 

I’m done with all the hurt 

I’m moving past the storm 

Getting off rocky waters 

Onto solid ground I stand 

No more sinking sand 

I’m letting go of the broken pieces of my heart 

I’m collecting myself, piece by piece 

I’m rebuilding my life 

I’m taking control. 

Renewing my soul. 

Free from pain. 

Find my happiness. 

My story begins here. 

I DECLARE, I’m victorious.

NEW 

MUSIC

‘I Got This’ by Danielle Bellas is a super empowering and 

motivational song. Her super sweet voice is 

complimented by a magical track. The concept of the 

song is to inspire people to get out there and face their 

battles head on. And, most importantly, push on through 

and believe in yourself. 

The future’s there for you to take it 

Tell yourself everyday – You’re Amazing! 

Breathe in, breathe out, Believe 

I Got This is the inspiring new pop/R&B single by 

Danielle Bellas. The young UK singer/songwriter says “I 

Got This is about turning negative thoughts into positive 

ones. There’s so much negativity in the world right now 

and it’s easy to get caught up in it. Music has always 

been a healer for me, so I’m hoping this song can remind 

people that there’s always something beautiful to focus 

on, something to be grateful for and a different way of 

looking at things, including ourselves.” The track is 

released after Mental Health Month and the music video 

features people opening up about their own negative 

thoughts and fears - showing that no-one is alone in 

their pain. 

I Got This is the third single from Danielle Bellas, cowritten 

and produced by successful production duo Jud 

Mahoney and Natalie DeLucia (Michael Jackson, 

Brandy, Britney Spears). The single stays true to the 

artist’s unique twist of mid 90s R&B, which fans and 

media know her by. Her previous singles Take A Minute 

and Starship were supported by Pointless Thoughts, 

1883 Magazine, LittleGayBlog, Vents, New Wave District 

and Fortitude, with Take A Minute also making it to #13 

in the Music Week Urban charts.

‘Falling In Love’ by Lenovick ft Pane is a great modern love song. The cool 

house track provides a rhythmic backdrop for the smooth voice. The kind of 

love that you can’t resist. The lyrics depict a perfect dreamy romance. The kind 

of love that plays on my heart strings. The vocal range is the highlight with 

gorgeous high notes together with lovely, velvet soft moments. 

Lenovick debuts with an amazing, beautiful tune, filled with touching 

melodies. A sweet and soft vocal line is laid on top making it the perfect track 

to listen on that rainy night, thinking about your loved one. 

www.facebook.com/LenovickLive 


‘Blue Step’ by Phonetix ft Brendan Mills is stunning. The contemporary jazz 

sounds against a bumpy beat is just gorgeous. The smooth and sensual 

saxophone, the elegant piano melody, the delightful rhythmic tempo all fused 

into one incredible track. Simple in the number of elements used, yet crafted 

with such intricate detail. Poetic. 

Taking things in a slightly different direction, this track sees Phonetix blend 

Jazz with Electronica & Saxophonist Brendan Mill lays down some smooth licks 

for added effect. 

Brendan is one of London’s most sought-after & experienced saxophonist 

entertainers. Having played all over the world & for celebrities (including 

Richard Branson), he is regularly invited to the capital’s premium venues, 

ranging from The Dorchester to The Four Seasons. He is also the founder of 

BMArtists: a hand-selected network of performers. 

Composed with a sextet in mind, Rob’s backing leaves plenty of room for 

Brendan to ad lib to his heart’s desire. It’s the ideal combination of vintage 

Jazz & contemporary up-tempo Electronica – providing the best of both 

worlds: somehow(!) giving a nod to both Pacific Jazz & MJ Cole. 

The track is the third single from Rob’s forthcoming album, all funds from 

which will be donated to a crowdfunding page which has been set up in aid of 

his sick daughter. “Alyssa’s a big fan of this one. I’ve been desperately 

hounding Jazz FM’s presenters & curators with a view to getting it playlisted – 

as it’d make her day if it came on over breakfast some time” says Rob. You 

gotta think that, pushing such a track, which showcases Rob’s unique ability to 

blend genres & his pristine production skills with Brendan’s talented 

musicianship… such a feat may very well be achievable.

Tribal fever! 

Daydreams and 

wild nights. 


‘Armor’ by Sara Bareilles holds a great fighting spirit. Her feisty voice 

along with a bold strength in the production really lifts you, together 

with the powerful lyrical concept. It talks about how men have been 

favoured in history regardless of who was in the right or wrong. And 

through this, women are standing up and facing these challenges. You 

brought the flame. Here comes the phoenix. All hail female 

empowerment, this is kickass. 

Today, Grammy®, Tony® and Emmy® Award-nominated singer, 

songwriter, actress, and author, Sara Bareilles returns with her brand new 

single “Armor.” It is the first song off her fifth full-length album and first 

since 2013—due out next year vi Epic Records. For “Armor” and the 

entire record, Sara teamed up with legendary Academy® Award-winning 

producer T Bone Burnett. With its hummable bass line and topical musing 

“Armor” sees Sara deliver her most poignant, passionate, and powerful 

statement yet. Speaking to those themes, the lyric video features real 

women holding up lines from the song and evoking a spirit of sisterhood 

and offering empowerment. 

“This song was not intended to be released until next year, but it felt 

increasingly like it wants to belong to this moment in time,” said Sara. 

“Sometimes the world inspires a song... and sometimes the world also 

inspires the release date. So here we are. I spent the summer of 2018 

working with T Bone Burnett on material that is incredibly near and dear 

to my heart, “Armor” serving as the centrepiece. It has been one of the 

great artistic adventures of my life. I am incredibly proud to share the 

first taste of it all.”

Two deep, intriguing pieces from Altek. ‘Confinement’ 

brings a base of warm and soulful beats. A sharp groove 

cuts in, playful melodic notes are dancing and then an 

immense, warped atmosphere surrounds us. ‘New 

Beginning’ has a retro edge yet moves onto a futuristic 

vision with a brilliant experimental blend of synths. 

A 2 track EP showcasing Altek’s forward thinking take on 

the progressive sound. Title track ‘Confinement’ proved it’s 

club credentials at Avalon, Hollywood, its captivating 

sequences taking the floor down deep and keeping them 

locked in throughout it’s +9 minute 122bpm odyssey. ‘New 

Beginning’ is cut from the same cloth; a delicious bass line 

and crisp percussion form a solid 123bpm bedrock for the 

layers of murky synth lines and hypnotic arpeggiators 

which span its +10 minute breadth. Damn fine music 


‘Say Hi’ by Magnifik is a wonderfully warm release. The easy-going 

soulful vibe is paired with sweet and fond vocals. The funky groove and 

jazz elements add flavour which further accentuate the feelgood 

atmosphere. Why don’t you come over, say hi. There is a breezy notion to 

just have fun and enjoy the moment. The Sebb Junior remix adds a sturdy, 

minimal yet rhythmic beat to the production. 

We’re pumped to have another soulful record from Canberra based 

producer, Magnifik. This time he gifts us with the disco laden track ‘Say 

Hi’. Its stuffed with a live party feel including, live bass, guitars, dreamy 

pads, organs, horns and piano. Quality deep house and disco music with a 

live feel. 

On the remix we have Spanish based, French born producer Sebb Junior 

knock out a perfect remix. Stripping back the song and utilizing his 

snappy drums, hypnotic chords and driving bass, Sebb takes us to deep 

house/deep funk heaven. Definitely an essential for anyone that loves 

that real s***!

‘Gotta Believe’ by T8PES is really motivational and 

uplifting. His snappy flow, a cool production and beautiful 

vocals from Joy Bacerdo. We can really feel the tough 

journey in his spirit of how he’s overcome troubles. It not 

only encourages us to believe, but also helps us to feel like 

no matter what, we are not alone.

Following previous release I Feel Good – the video for which featured 

cameos from global superstar Ed Sheeran alongside Irish singersongwriter 

legends Damien Dempsey & Foy Vance - Birmingham 

outfit T8PES returns with positivity-fuelled grime fusion track Gotta 

Believe (Released 16 November 2018) 

As both producer and vocalist, T8PES (pronounced TAPES) delivers a dose 

of pure inspiration, issuing a rallying cry to a generation dogged by 

mental health issues and inner demons, seduced by the illusion of X 

Factor fame and celebrity culture, and caught up in the whirlwind of the 

digital age. 

Gotta Believe is an exploration of what it takes to realise your ambitions 

and aspirations in the modern world. With first hand experience of drug 

addiction & homelessness, T8PES is well placed to examine chasing your 

dreams against all odds. 

The B-Side of the single features a remix penned for the world’s most 

successful soccer trials company: UK Football Trials. Officially adopted by 

the organisation, the tune will be used as the soundtrack to all of their 

online footage and promo videos going forward. 

Maintaining an all-encompassing persona of old skool dance culture and 

future sounds, T8PES continues to fuse modern day grime & Hip Hop with 

some of the trends prevalent during the rave era of the 90’s.

‘Dreaming’ by Lola Carmel is incredibly sweet. The love for a former partner, 

still there felt so deeply. The love overpowering any bitter thoughts or 

sadness. The love shining brightly and fueling her spirit. You kept a promise 

and you never left me alone. Gorgeous jazz elements and a smooth melody 

accompany the wonderfully soft and dazzling voice. Brings a smile on my 

face just to see you there. 

Dreaming is the beautiful new single from Birmingham singer/songwriter 

Lola Carmel. Lola suffered a knee injury which meant she was bedridden for 

9 weeks. In that time she wrote 26 songs, Dreaming being amongst them. 

Lola says “I wrote the track while dreaming about still maintaining a 

friendship after a break up and honestly wishing the best for that person. It 

was written about the last serious relationship I had”. 

Lola shot the music video in Cornwall where she frequents with her family 

every year, growing up along with her ex-boyfriend. 

Lola’s previous single Nublet was featured on Billboard Sound and 

Noisebeast, and won Lola a loyal fanbase in the UK and abroad. Lola started 

singing at stage school when she was just two years old, and since then her 

uncle has been educating her on soul, motown and reggae She’s performed 

at the town hall in Birmingham, the national choir, a musical called Luther, 

BBC radio and 4od. She honed her writing skills at poetry workshops with 

Benjamin Zephaniah and has been writing her own songs ever since.

‘Most Original’ by Stonebwoy ft Sean Paul is full of love and flavour. The 

sunshine glow and those relaxing Caribbean vibes are overflowing. The 

combination of confident vocals add colour and spice. You are the beat of my 

heart. The charming sentiments are sure to bring out shy smiles and rosy 

cheeks. This is simply a delightful moment of tender affection. 

With the video making it’s debut via The Fader, Stonebwoy continues to have 

an exceptional year that has seen both his music and profile reach dizzying 

new heights. Set in Jamaica and directed by Jay Will, the visuals tell 

Stonebwoy’s lyrical love story about his ‘Most Original’ lady. Visually the story 

unfolds through dance, against flashes of colourful Jamaican backdrops and 

performance cutaways of Stonebwoy and Sean Paul, resulting in everyone 

getting together for good vibes, dance offs and of course that happy ending. 

“Stonebwoy’s mix of dancehall and Afropop has made him a legit superstar in 

his native Ghana” (Red Bull). Having already built a huge homegrown 

following that has awarded him with accolades such as BET’s Best 

International Act Africa and nominations for MTV Africa Music Awards’s 'Best 

Live Act’, the last 18 months has seen him take a firm grip internationally too. 

Collaborations with the likes of the UK’s Kojo Funds on ‘Falling Again’ as well 

as superstars such as Trey Songz, Chris Martin and Kranium simply illustrate 

the diversity and reach that Stonebwoy has, which is further supported by the 

31 Million views he has achieved on his own YouTube channel and the 

millions of streams readily available to see on his Spotify page. 

Following his recent impressive album release ‘Epistles of Mama’, which 

peaked at number 13 in the Billboard (world album) chart, and paired 12 

dancehall tracks with 12 afrobeats songs, featuring an array of stars including 

Burna Boy, Assasin, I-Octane and Sarkodie, ‘Most Original’ is in a strong 

position to see Stonebwoy breakthrough even further. 

Talking exclusively to The Fader about the single and how the collaboration 

came to light, Stonebwoy said “I was vibing in a friend (Selasi Music's) studio 

in Atlanta Georgia and he played me a beat from a young Ghanaian produced 

based in Belgium by the name 'Black Diamond' I instantly fell involve with the 

beat and just knew I had to get Sean Paul on this. I reached out to him on 

Instagram for the first time ever and he was really responsive. He was on tour 

in Australia at the time but the following week he recorded his verse and sent 

it back, which is crazy for me because Sean is an artist that has inspired me a 

lot on my musical journey so to feature him on a song and have him in the 

video is a BIG BLESSING.”

A sturdy, throbbing beat takes charge. The cold determination and 

hard strength invigorate your senses. Ethnic strings cut through the 

steely grit with an enchanting beauty. The two moods battle between 

each other creating an exciting tribal concoction. 

“The sitar sound reveals the ancient Indian weapon following with a 

massive drop, rolling bassline and a slight touch of uplifting trance.” 

Keiron Raven & DJ WAD intend to hit the dancefloors hard with this 

addictive sound. The concept is inspired by the Brahmastra weapon 

and its supernatural power.

‘Connektions’ by Nekst ft Orla O’Dwyer is really quite out-there. It grows on 

you as you continue to listen. The jangly sound choices, the cold tone and 

choppy production is almost a mashed-up Christmas type sound. The vocal is 

also airy and intriguing. It is all blended together in a dysfunctional way, and 

works. It is actually pretty cool. Mind Of A Dragon brings a naughty bit of dark 

bass on the remix The Tuff Culture edit takes a bumpy, soulful spin. 

Downplay is proud to present the new EP from Colchester producer Nekst. 

‘Connektions’ finds the sweet spot between UKG and breakbeat for a thrilling 

vocal anthem that combines bursting melodies with high-tempo theatrics and 

thundering bass. Orla O’Dwyer’s sublime vocals bring all the elements 

together for something truly special. 

The renowned Mind Of A Dragon reconstructs the original into a deep and 

delicious UKG roller that only goes to reinforce his reputation as the brightest 

hope of modern Garage. 

Tuff Culture takes a wholly different path, flipping the original into a jawdropping 

4X4 odyssey that is full of creativity and invention, reflecting a 

producer at the height of his craft.

‘You Take Me So Far’ by Bakes is fantastic clash of tones. The title track brings 

a sweet and passionate vocal, this is thrown against the metallic sounds and

New emerging artist Bakes who has spent the last 12 months crafting his 

sound is ready to unleash his music on Four40. With a 2 track EP already 

gaining support from the likes of Foor, Hybrid Theory, Barley Royal, Freddie 

Martin, Tengu

The ‘Human Writes’ album by Shay D is raw and powerful. She is not 

afraid to tell the stark truth and shine a light on the ugliness of life. The 

beginning of this set delves into the darkness and explores those 

emotions. The painful chapters of life. The slow melancholic sounds 

complimenting the mood. We hear the faint whispers of ‘Don’t Worry’. 

Poignant poems are featured throughout. They are beautifully crafted, 

emotive and also hold an inner strength. ’Tornado’ is a stand-out piece 

and really grabs you. I didn’t know how eyes can be kind until they 

looked into my emptiness and coloured me in with love. We feel the fire 

inside burning brighter with ’Suffragettes’. This empowering force of 

energy surges into you. Fists in the air, fighting for women’s rights. 

‘Gimmie Dat’ is a killer track. The dirty bass and her equally dirty and 

intense flows, a deliciously wicked gem of a track. I want to address all 

the madness I hear. The yearning for better days comes through with 

‘No Stress’. This motive pushes on through with ‘Still We Rise’ featuring 

Faisal Salah. The robust piano dances together with the strength of the 

words. Stand strong. 

Releasing her glorious album, shaped with a mixture of personal tales, 

storytelling hip-hop tracks and some tongue in cheek, fun, Grime inspired 

records whilst representing women, delivering strong social messages 

and an underlying theme of female empowerment laced within the 


songs, Shay D delivers HUMAN WRITES. 

Exploring her world; from prejudices to the obstacles she witnesses, her 

vivid social commentary, delivered in varying form, highlights why she is 

quickly earning the title as one of the best muses in modern day creative 

arts. Topped with a fine addition of production credits from the likes of 

Nutty P, Blizzard, Micall Parknsun, Dos Gringos, Tony Bones, HUMAN 

WRITES is undoubtedly got all the makings of a special piece of art. 

The recent release of the high-octane GIMMIE DAT added a new 

dimension to the previous tracks Shay D dropped from the album. 

Showcasing her finest lyrical chops across a trudging grime beat, her 

heritage also came to the forefront as Middle Eastern musical influence 

powered through. Meanwhile SPIT FOR ME demonstrated her rapid-fire 

flow and exhibited her fine-tuned lyrical dexterity going on to win Shay D 

support across multiple platforms that include the Kiss network, 

Wordplay Magazine and UKHH. The power anthem SUFFRAGETTES was 

chosen to be the soundtrack for the Harvey Nichols 'Broken Windows' 

campaign, celebrating the 100 year of women’s right to vote . 

Yet with a full 14 tracks, there’s still plenty to explore. 

Previously unheard gems include CAN’T STAND STILL 

and BETTER DAYS, both of which are exceptionally 

written and delve in to the skill that SHAY D 

has of capturing emotion and creativity within 

her lyricism. The album has further twists and turns 

with the addition of poems scattered throughout 

the tracklist, changing the pace and allowing 

time for each track to be digested fully.

‘Dreamwalker’ by Sam Valar is a wonderfully 

bright track. A warm atmosphere surrounds the 

delicate piano melody. The lively beat kicks in 

with vibrancy and good vibes. 

The New York based producer certainly caught 

our attention with this little gem, packed full of 

emotion from the get go and throughout. Sam 

sure knows how to craft those melodies that hit 

the spot. 'Dreamwalker' gives you a 

rollercoaster of emotions, from feel good to a 

longing to want to hear more.

Tonight’ by Lycii & Declan James vs. OMAIR ft Elli Koen is mesmerising. A hazy 

state is paired with soft enchanting vocals. The pace quickens, high synths fill 

the air and the voice becomes stronger. We are hit an intense power. The 

thrilling energy invigorates and empowers us. 

It was a relationship forged back in 2017 when Lycii would make his OHM 

Music debut, dishing out ethereal big room splendor on his remix of Danilo 

Ercole's 'Cosmic'. With our ears planted firmly on the taste-making insanity 

emerging from our speakers, Lycii would arrive once more, this time joining 

forces with Declan James. Pulling out all the stops, this dynamic duo would 

tag-team the airwaves with a bass-packed rendition of Kaneis' 'Outer Space', 

solidifying their role as two unique dance music chameleons, primed and 

prepared to reach far outside of the box. Well, it may be over a year since Lycii 

& Declan James took us to the moon on the label that takes pride in 

showcasing the brilliant and bright artists of the future, but the boys are back, 

and this time, they go head to head with label boss OMAIR! 

'Tonight' promises to be the soundscape for your soul as you get swept away 

by the tempting call of the nightlife. Featuring the sultry voice of Elli Koen, 

'Tonight' dominates as a peak hour cherry on top, delivering a message of 

passionate unity as we celebrate life among a billowing sea of electric rhythm. 

Appealing to those looking to set their spirit free, it is Elli Koen who makes her 

mark with vocal melodic purity as Lycii, Declan James and OMAIR turn up our 

experience with class, curating an emotional release through crisp synth detail 

and echoing crescendo's of big room uplift that we simply can't live without!

‘Dollar Signs’ by Fanny Andersen is both deadly 

and glamourous. Her raw and striking voice 

stands out over the lavish track production. My 

eyes are soakin’, I feel like I’m over the edge now. 

Her fierce yet emotive tone is smashed against a 

glitzy backdrop to create a song full of impact. 

My heart’s not for sale, but I’ll make you pay. 

The pop artist Fanny Andersen has been a name 

to remember for quite some time. The 23-yearold 

artist is the definition of ‘if you want 

something done, you have to do it yourself’. 

Fanny surprised everyone when she released her 

debut single “Kids” in 2017 via a video 

countdown on Instagram. Each video addressed 

a challenging side of adulthood, for example 

being bisexual. The Skinny Days produced track 

soon became a giant success, leaving no doubt 

that Fanny is a girl not to be ignored. 

“I woke up broke because I had provided half of 

Oslo with beers. It makes you think and reflect 

on life. For how long is it fun to ble labeled as 

a party girl?” Fanny Andersen 

www.facebook.com/fannyandersenmusic

The two-track release by Deuce & Charger is chillingly beautiful. ’Natural 

High’ brings a huge, uplifting energy in the production which is paired 

with lovely husky vocals. ‘Frozen’ turns down the mood into something 

more intense, the gritty bass and alluring voice tells a story of deep 

desire within. 

Over a series of tastemaker-supported releases and standout 

collaborations, North London-based act Deuce & Charger have emerged 

as a fresh new sound in vocal drum and bass. The duo’s combination of 

emotive melodies and electro inspired production described by Radio 1’s 

Rene LaVice as “very different, very unique - it’s cool!” 

The lead track on Deuce & Charger’s new single, ‘Natural High’, captivates 

immediately. An evocative piano intro builds to a stunning, soul-baring 

vocal, with reflective lyrics yearning for an escape from the pressures of 

modern life. Layers of analogue synths rise over a filtered drum break 

before the track soars in the drop; a euphoric vocal hook gliding over 

synth arpeggios and driving bass. 

‘Frozen’ explores an altogether darker soundscape. Glassy synth lines 

crystallise around an icy lead vocal to create a sparse, haunting verse. A 

snare crack sets off an avalanche of bass in the drop; Deuce & Charger’s 

trademark synth work flurrying around crisp, punchy drums.

Omjee presents two new intense tracks. ‘So Real’ holds a dance 

energy together with a high synth section and pop vocals. ‘1001 

Rave’ contrasts with a harder impact paired with an intriguing 

ethnic vocal. 

Jerome Chesneau, better known as Omjee, brings us 2 cutting-edge 

psytrance masterpieces with his tracks So Real and 1001 Rave. 

Omjee’s unique style and defining sounds continue to set him apart 

with these latest offerings. Melodic elements combined with 

chopped vocals on top of powerful driving beats make these tracks 

essential must-haves for any true psytrance aficionado. 

www.facebook.com/omjeeofficial 


The ‘Another Way LP’ by BREAK is killer! Each track brings pure fire, unique 

melds and a bit of dirty bass. ‘Last Goodbye’ ft Celestine pairs the lively tempo 

with gorgeous jazz touches and a warm, enticing voice. ‘Jungle Desire’ with 

Kyo has a classic rebellion and dub reggae / jungle mood. ‘Sunset Dub’ 

brilliantly twists together joyful brass elements with dark, gnarly bass ‘Time 

To Fly’ is another interesting blend which sparkles and chimes then drops into 

the dirty bass. ‘Take Me Away’ is one of those lovely, dreamy and melodic 

moments to get lost in. An incredible set of tracks. 

Break, one of the true patriarchs of modern day jungle drum & bass delivers 

his fifth studio album, ‘Another Way’. Drawing from a rich array of musical 

influences Charlie Bierman pulls us through a spectrum of styles as he sets 

about showing us exactly why he’s the only producer ever to be asked to 

remix Dillinja. From the minimal jazz leanings of opening track ‘Last Goodbye’ 

to the enchanted dub of ‘Conversations’ and the pure dance floor of ‘Keepin’ It 

Raw’, Break’s ability to combine with the enormous vocals of regular 

collaborators Celestine, Kyo and MC Fats with other legendary mic men GQ 

and Clevelend Watkiss sets the LP truly apart; a tour de force of 2018 drum & 

bass. 

“The aim with this album was to explore many of my favourite aspects of drum 

& bass, and create tracks that work equally in the club, at home or on the go. 

The contributions from all the talented artists involved really helped to lift the 

project up to another level. It’s a great way to finish off my year, enjoy!” Break

‘Outside’ by Slam Duck takes me back to the 

holiday mood with a deep, atmospheric state of 

consciousness. Beautiful chilled and melodic 

strands run through, charming the ears. 

Another smooth progressive cut here from 

Russia’s Slam Duck, following up the brilliant 

‘Mercury EP’ from earlier this year. Propelled by a 

rubbery kick, fluttery shakers & a muted rolling 

bass line, the eerie ‘Outside’ summons up imagery 

of a foggy, winters evening, with branches 

scraping & rain spattering against a window pane - 

whilst a reassuring fire crackles within. Distant, 

plaintive cries raise the hairs on the neck, 

preparing the listener for a delicious, squelchy 

acid line that bubbles up at the break, unleashing 

its hypnotic powers at the drop. Truly 

mesmerising.
