Stay Warm
Alo! Ki maniyer?
Just want to share a song for this issue, which soothed my #fridaymood
with its nice vocals. Stay Warm from George Taylor, a random and warm
discovery.
The song starts with Taylor's nice voice, and all throughout the song the
main focus remains on the vocals; while in the background the piano is
sustaining the chords and supported by low drumming throughout the
verses. The chorus gets a changing note with the bass line, which adds an
interesting groove.
My insights when listening to Taylor's Stay Warm, is really get to the basics;
choosing to embrace life and keeping oneself ready to live another life
experience. Besides changing seasons, moods, lives or experiences, keep
your heart beating. Keep going whatever comes your way.
A warm encounter on a busy Friday, reminding myself of moving forward
and smiling while sharing happiness around.
Be blessed and showered with positive vibes people!
#StayWarm

Danielle Bellas
Her delightfully sweet voice and
warm husky tones swirl around your
ears. We first discovered Danielle
Bellas at the beginning of 2018 with
her sultry RnB song ‘Starship’. This is
officially her debut single released
for the public, although it is
interesting to check out her
unreleased work - one most notable
is ‘Be That Somebody Else’ which
shares a different side of her,
assertive and seductive. 2018 was a
big year for the singer as she
delivered three successful singles.
The latest being ‘I Got This’, a
statement piece, with a strong theme
of positivity and self-love. It is a song
which holds your hand through dark
times, telling you to breathe and have
faith in yourself. We were able to chat
with Danielle Bellas about her
journey…
Tell us about yourself and how you
got into music.
I’ve always been obsessed with music
and grew up listening to, and imitating,
the likes of Janet Jackson, Brandy,
Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Aaliyah
and TLC. 90s R&B was my jam! My
musical journey started when my
cousin introduced me to his friend,
who was a local music manager, and
he took me into a studio where I cowrote
and recorded my first single at
the age of 16. That gave me a taste for
it and started the ball rolling, but my
parents definitely encouraged
education and a steady career over
music! I joined a girl group when I was
18, stayed in that for 2 years whilst I
was at university, then kept writing and
recording whilst working a 9-5 until I
decided to prioritise my music and
really back myself, and now here I am,
with my 3rd single out!
You ditched the corporate lifestyle
for creativity - how was that process
for you, and what would you tell
anyone who is in the same position
wanting to break free?
My whole department was made
redundant so I didn’t exactly leave my
job with any kind of plan or any
contacts to help, I just knew it was now
or never to give this dream a go. So
initially it was hard to know what to
focus on, it was tough at times to stay
positive and it was a huge learning
curve. It also took a while to adjust to
the new lifestyle and it means you have
to be so self-motivated and
disciplined, which I sometimes
struggle with! What’s been amazing,
however, is having the flexibility to
travel, write, record, and you can
prioritise what you want and not have
to answer to anyone. I would advise
anyone else thinking of quitting the
corporate life to make sure you have
a goal in mind and a rough plan, along
with the contacts you need to hit the
ground running and keep the
momentum up. Get yourself to a music
conference as soon as you can, to
educate yourself on the industry and
to network. The events can give you so
much insight and help you formulate
12 www.AudationMagazine.com
13
that plan and work out what to focus
on moving forward. Also, make sure
you have another source of income or
enough money saved to take the
pressure off of the music. That’s what
I’ve found recently - there is so much
pressure on the music to provide an
income that it can strip a lot of the joy
from it. There are definitely a lot of
things I would do differently if I could
do the last few years over!
Your latest song ‘I Got This’ is really
powerful, can you tell us the
inspiration and aims behind this
song?
I’d been experimenting with positive
affirmations and loved the idea of
creating a song based around them,
that makes someone feel empowered
and uplifted when they listen to it. ‘I
Got This’ has a message of positivity,
promotes self-belief and explores the
idea of changing a negative thought
or emotion into ‘I Got This’. There’s so
much negativity in the world right now
and it’s so 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.
Your music shares a lot of positive
messages, we would love you to share
some inspiring words on life with us.
listen to on YouTube most days (and
who I highly encourage you to seek out
if you’re looking for some inspiration).
However, I have learned over the last
couple of years to view life as a
journey. It’s really not about the
destination, there is no end point to
strive to get towards, just the journey
we’re on and this present moment, so
it’s important to enjoy it and not take
it too seriously. And finding your tribe
is hugely important too - the people
that you can be your authentic self
around and not feel judged by. Those
that inspire you, cheer you on, let you
shine and encourage you to be the best
version of yourself possible.
What’s your advice for aspiring
singers?
Network, network, network! Who you
know is so important. Don’t compare
yourself to others, everyone is on their
own journey and comparing the start
of yours to someone else who is 5 years
in is pointless and can be so damaging.
Hone your writing skills and find others
to co-write with. There are some great,
educational music seminars out there
which cover the business side of the
industry and are also great for
networking and finding others to write
with, so look for any near you and
invest in yourself and your education.
Well, I don’t profess to be any kind of
guru or have any answers to life
worked out, and I get a lot of my
inspiration from Abraham Hicks that I
14 www.AudationMagazine.com
Lastly, believe in yourself and become
your biggest cheerleader!
Determination and motivation is so
important, never give up and keep
yourself in the game - You Got This!
What’s your favourite memory of
your career and what are your future
plans?
Filming the ‘Starship’ music video was
such a fun experience and one of my
favourite memories for sure. Being
interviewed live on BBC London Radio
was also a huge moment for me,
especially because my family were
together in London listening in. Also
reaching No. 13 on the Music Week
Urban Club Chart with ‘Take a Minute’
was a MASSIVE achievement!
This year I’ll be releasing my album,
I’ve got some new remixes coming out
and I’m looking forward to writing and
recording some new material and
seeing what direction that goes in. So
watch this space!
Any last words?
Thanks so much for your support! Keep
an eye out for my album that will be
dropping in the next few months and
always remember, You Got This!

You Will Never
A sturdy piano base, confident vocals and a deep enticing atmosphere. Leanne
Louise presents her new song, together with Subaholc, titled ‘You Will Never’.
The production drops down into a lovely, rhythmic and flavourful mood from
the soulful beats. She gives off a sassy vibe with her honest attitude and
lyrics. I thought that you would be the one. The theme of picking yourself up
after a break up, feeling the pain but knowing that it is for the best. Baby,
I’m drowning. The chorus is catchy and gets you singing along, this sits
alongside a hip-wiggling tune.
Ideas and inspiration...
So I wrote this song back in January 2018, at the time I really wanted to create
a song that was empowering for anyone going through a break up, everyone
loves a song you can cry to but i didn't want to do that this time, i wanted a
singalong chorus, lyrics that you can relate to, but also verses displaying real
emotions that everyone feels at some point in their life to balance it out... The
inspiration behind the song and most of my songs is how I'm feeling at the
time of writing it... Most of what i write is personal to me and this one definitely
is.
Production process...
It was actually really random and really quick when it came to the writing
process, Subaholic's had heard some of my music online and reached out, he
very professionally slid into the dms with lots of musical magic haha... He sent
me over some tracks and I just started vibing.
'You Will Never' was the second song I created with him. He's based in Cyprus
so I wrote and recorded this one at home in my humble abode. I wish I had a
more glamourous story but really it's just me sitting in my bedroom, a cup of
coffee, pyjamas, messy hair and a microphone.
The music video is simply picturesque with soft shades of pinks, blues and
yellows. The well-chosen locations, around the Greek island of Zante, are
works of art in their own right. Leanne sings amidst these wonderful sceneries
of exotic plants, the calm ocean, sturdy natural rock faces and charming
summery buildings. There is also the odd cameo of an abandoned digger in
the bare, sun-drenched landscape… Perhaps this reflects some deep meaning
of standing strong, wearing those marks of hurt, after much

hardship. It is also worth noting that the dress sense of this girl is just ultra
trendy. From a rough street edge of ripped jeans showing off gorgeous hips
to feminine sheer lace against flirty coral ruffles, there is so much colour and
fun. Essentially it is a simple visual piece of a singer performing against
various backdrops, though it is done beautifully and reflects the warmth of
the song.
The video...
Oh wow. What an experience. The video was shot, directed and edited by a
good friend of mine Nitin Lutch (Lutch Media) and his lovely assistant Charlie.
I had been invited out to Zante in Greece to perform for 2 weeks at Plaza Pallas
and he mentioned the idea of shooting a music video out there so I jumped
at the chance as I knew I had this single lined up and it really complements
the song! Shooting the video was absolutely incredible but I can't lie... it was
also super challenging, it was 35 degrees plus, so after each take we'd stop,
wipe the sweat off my face (sexy lol) and continue but at the same time waking
up at 5am to watch the sunrise in Greece as part of your job is such an incredible
blessing and the trip itself had many highs and lows, I get very homesick when
I travel but I met some great people out there that really helped me so thanks
guys! We also had the opportunity to shoot some scenes at Shipwreck beach
which was really fun! I have a few funny stories but I don't think they're reader
friendly ;)

Karina Nistal
The urban singer from Houston, US is
constantly developing her sound and
having fun with her passion. Karina
Nistal shares a beautiful fusion of her
Latin roots together with modern
influences in her music. Opening her
arms to embrace the world, delving
deep into her creative subconscious,
exploring life and its meaning - she is
inspirational. An overflowing
abundance of Love and Light is given
directly from her heart.
‘Je Ne Sais Quoi’ is the new album
from this divine soulstress, which
was successfully crowdfunded and
released digitally, together with a
forthcoming vinyl pressing. We enter
with ‘Good Sound’, a sombre depth
and contemporary jazz production
swirl around her strong vocal tones.
Sometimes my own soul gets the best
of me. ’Sueno’ is a delightfully
traditional Spanish piece with a
relaxed atmosphere and hazy vocals.
There is a lovely, subtle elegance of
the twinkling piano and hum of brass.
‘Down 4U’ has a loving aura through
her reflections together with
glittering notes, almost with a
sensual air. It was always you, and
only you. ‘Pure Vida’ has a
wonderfully bright sensation with a
funky, soulful rhythm and
charismatic lyrics of love. Amor.
‘Gozar’ brings the fiesta with
flavourful tones, a trendy synth,
bouncy rhythm and a little sassy spark
of her vocals.
24 www.AudationMagazine.com
This album is a perfect representation
of everything Karina embodies. A
range of pop, hip hop and soul; both
English and Spanish lyrics;
spontaneous and chilled mood
phases; and words of optimism and
the heart. That special something. Her
unique Je Ne Sais Quoi. Magic. This
incredible album was the product of
a tremulous year for Karina as she
made the KaRAGEous decision of
leaving her job, to further pursue her
dreams. She really is Living Proof!
Karina Nistal kindly shares her
journey with us...
Tell us how you got into music, when
was the very first moment you
realised you wanted to sing?
I was between 5 and 6 years old when
I first got into music. My parents had
me in piano and ballet lessons. I
remember sitting in the back of my
mom's Buick singing to every song that
came on the radio - Miami Sound
Machine was my favorite! I think I was
about 7 when I realized I really wanted
to sing.
What were the ideas & inspiration
behind this new album?
I wanted to write an album that showed
all of my music influences. I wanted to
share the high points as well as the low
points. I took a trip to Paris with my
mom and I loved the term "Je Ne Sais
Quoi". It felt kinda like being a diamond
with it's own niche but, since a
diamond is multifaceted, it can reveal
25
eing a diamond with it's own niche
but, since a diamond is multifaceted,
it can reveal all its sides depending on
how the light shines on it. (I hope this
makes sense) But it was intended to
be a thoughtful and multifaceted
piece of work. Since I'd gone through
ankle surgery shortly after, there were
also some songs that were reflective
and hopeful. I found it to be
therapeutic to write these songs
during a super vulnerable time, and it
helped me find healing.
Can you describe the music industry
in Houston?
There isn't a big music industry in
Houston but there is an amazing music
scene. There are so many beautiful,
raw, and diverse talents! I am so
fortunate to have grown up here and
have been exposed to it all. It's a city
where you can work hard and get
yourself noticed. We call it "Hustle
town".
Don't let anyone make you doubt
yourself. Keep practicing, keep
plugging, and keep singing!
Favourite moment in the music
industry?
My favorite moment was being
discovered at the Latin Billboards
Music Conference and getting sent on
tour with my band to perform for the
military in the Middle East!

Music On was founded by Marco Carola to let the music speak for the experience,
instead of deluding visitors to hollow phrases and overhyped artists. It meant
a landmark change for the nightlife in Ibiza. He will be joined by Hot Creations’
founder Jamie Jones who’s signature sound has influenced many new acts on
his label. The entertaining Martinez Brothers are among the most
recognizable Music On residents with their energetic blend of house and
techno. And, to finish off, the first row of label managing guests
is Desolat’s captain Loco Dice known to many across the globe for its memorable
nights in Ibiza. Music On premiered its 1st weekend festival back in 2017, with
tickets selling out in a matter of moments, it became almost an overnight
success managing to entice the purest of house & techno music fans.

’Snowing’ by Enigma is a nice, modern love song. You used to be my angel.
The fresh production style is really on trend right now with that casual,
nonchalant house sound. The vocals are smooth in the chorus, yearning for
assurance of her love, if she’ll be there even through those cold and dark
times. I just wanna know if your loyalty’s real. The verses switch to a raw
tone in the voice, spilling his emotions and sharing his honesty.
After racking up impressive numbers on previous releases, Enigma enters
2019 with a whole bag of vibes on new record 'Snowing'. A name you may
not be familiar with yet, Enigma is an artist, director and overall creative
that has slowly been building his profile over the past year. Picking up over
130,000 streams on past singles 'Move Move' and 'Scoring', without any
major backing or playlist additions, Enigma's presence and fanbase is
growing organically with each release. Bringing smooth and melodic vocals
on the hook and a faultless flow over the bouncy afro bashment inspired
instrumental, 'Snowing' is his third single release, and his sixth self directed
video.
After opening for the likes of Mo The Comedian, Young Adz, 23 Unofficial,
Kenny Allstar and more in 2018, this year Enigma vows to make his
presence in the UK music scene more official, with 'Snowing' already
climbing the Itunes Hip Hop Charts only a day after the release. With more
singles in the pipeline as well as an official project and headline show all in
the works for this year, Enigma is an artist to add to your 2019 playlists!

‘J’aimerais’ by Dean Grant holds a wonderful charming
presence. The gorgeous notes from the jazz orchestra flutter in
the air. The lively rhythm takes your hand, twirling you around
the room in a joyous dance. A suave serenade is delivered in
the beautiful French dialect, a voice reflecting the spontaneous
moment of gusto. T’es là dans le noir. You’re here in the dark.
The flirtatious theme of the lyrics speak of desires and
increasing romantic curiosity. Pris au dépourvu. Caught off
guard.
Producer and recording artist Dean Grant debuts with a strong,
vintage orientated, pop album, produced for the international
music scene. For this album, The French Recording
Sessions, Dean Grant surrounded himself with leading people
from within the French music industry, ensuring an authentic
approach and convincing final sound.
For more than two years in the making, the album has been
intentionally set up musically in relationship to the 1950s by
using equipments and know-how from within that area. By
producing this album, Dean Grant succeeded in bringing his
musical jazz roots together with his French trail.
Dean Grant bases his music – and the accompanying design –
on the 1950s. ‘Although every time sheet knows its pros and
cons, we currently seem to be temporarily living in a period
where little is looked at each other and in which little use is
made of decency standards and etiquettes. This is unfortunate,
because certainly the absence of the latter, creates a life
comparable to a life without music and art. Just by looking at
Cary or Sean, makes you wonder what went wrong in the years
after’, he says, continuing, ‘operating in a stylish fifties
entourage makes everyday life bearable and most importantly
joyful.’

The ‘Believe EP’ by Wes Thomas shares a lovely, light feelgood tone. The
chilled vibes ooze through warmly. Soulful beats get your body moving.
Soft, sweet and innocent vocals delight the ears. The break teases a darker,
playful side into the mix. The Tuff Culture edit gives a bumpy, choppy twist
to this track.
House and UK Garage orientated dance tracks are catered to those who like
their soulful grooves and incredible vocals with the added dance floor feel
that Wes Thomas & Tuff Culture perfected brillianlty.
The original track produced by Wes Thomas, a raising Producer / Dj from
Birmingham has been making some noise over the last 18 months with his
bubbly grooves and rolling bass lines. Wes has been releasing regularly with
various labels over the last 2 years and now see’s his work being recognised
by arguable one of Birmingham’s biggest underground label’s in Four40.
The remix has been crafted and delivered by the talents of Tuff Culture
another Birmingham prolific Producer. Tuff crafted this UK Garage version of
the track to compliment the original and did a profound job as he usual
does. With years of experience in the game and regular support from the
likes of Dj EZ, DJ Target and Groove Armada just to name a few it was only
right to get the talents of Tuff Culture to co-sign the release.

‘Caramel’ by Burnie has a lovely, warm feel
in each track. First track ‘Caramel Colour’
takes you back to pleasant summer
memories with its delightful tone, the blend
of vocals warm you further with a notion of
love. Second track ‘Cloudy Soul’ steps
things up a notch with a lively and fun little
beat. This track offers big drama. On one
side, it is beautifully paired with passionate
vocals and climactic rises in an atmospheric
air. Yet, on the flip side, there is playful use
of choppy cuts, a sneaky bass wobble and
powerful silence. A Kobe JT remix of this
track is also included with his moody and
minimal take.
Downplay is proud to present the new EP
from Macau-based producer Burnie.
‘Caramel Colour’ evokes the classic era of
UKG with a tough 2-step rhythm providing
the backbone for jazzy keys and saccharine
vocals against bubbling bass, a combination
that feels old and new at the same time.
‘Cloudy Soul’ ups the tempo but relaxes the
vibe with a truly blissful UK Garage roller,
complete with soothing keys and diva
vocals for a little ray of sunshine that makes
your heart yearn for summertime. Up and
coming Guildford-based producer Kobe JT
steps up for the remix, turning ‘Cloudy Soul’
into a thumping new UKG thriller.

‘Deep Freeze VIP’ by Toronto Is Broken ft Cianna Blaze is fierce! The tough,
hard bass throws dirty grit straight in your face. No remorse. The gnarly
shouts of voices further add thrilling excitement into the mix. Fast and
heavy beats, complete with dark wobbles. It ain’t pretty.
After the success of his sophomore album “You Are (Not) Alone” which
came out on Viper Recordings in the May of 2018, Toronto Is Broken is
back and eager to unveil some new music!
Originally written as an exclusive for his Renegade Hardware residency
shows, Toronto Is Broken is storming into the new year with the VIP mix
of his 2016 track “Deep Freeze” which featured London rapper and
regular Maxim (The Prodigy) collaborator, Cianna Blaze.
A tale of the apocalypse, this Drum & Bass heater holds no prisoners with
its relentless Amen drums and catastrophic reese bassline. These
elements combined in the dance are destined to send the Richter scale
off the charts!

‘American Dream’ by JS Ondara is a delightful and intriguing song. A
gentle, soulful country production lulls you. Stunning string
harmonies add beauty and charm, a steady pace keeping your feet on
the ground. The vocals shine brilliantly, with a unique and prominent
African accent together with an ending of a more spirited tone - this
American Dream is somewhat a contradiction. A dark tale is painted,
no running away, lover don’t make a sound, the ghost from the river is
watching.
Rising Nairobi-born and Minneapolis-based artist J.S.
Ondara announces the release of his debut album ‘Tales of America’,
out on 15 February 2019 on Verve.
Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, Ondara fell in love with Bob
Dylan and moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota when he was 20 to
pursue a career as a singer-songwriter. He began making his way in the
local music scene, continually writing songs about what he saw, felt
and experienced in a place far different from home. His debut
album, ‘Tales of America’, is an examination of the American Dream
from an outsider’s perspective; an introspection on a universal matter.
The completely acoustic album was produced by Grammynominated
Mike Viola(Ryan Adams, Jenny Lewis) and recorded at
Boulevard Recording and East West Studios in Los Angeles. All lyrics
were written by Ondara and the album features collaborations with
artists including Andrew Bird, Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith of Dawes
and Joey Ryan of The Milk Carton Kids.
Of the album, Ondara explains, “When I came to America five years
ago, all I wanted to do was to make a record. I had no leads, no
knowledge of how to go about it, I couldn’t even play the guitar at the
time. But I loved records so much and I had this dream that someday
perhaps, I’d make one of my own. Many a times along the way, I was
dealt with challenges that made me doubt my path, but I was too far
from home to turn back, so I forged forward. The journey has been
long but also short, tumultuous but also exciting. This record is a
documentation of my time in America; a deliberation on the times and
a search for wisdom and the American Dream. I hope you will all enjoy
it as much as I do.”

‘Surrender’ by Jenny Teator is full of heat! Your love’s a sin. The theme of
surrendering to love ignites a fire inside, the passion and intensity rising.
Everything that I knew, I’m starting to doubt. Her wild, rebellious attitude
bursts through with bold and sexy vocal notes. The kickass rock bass and
lively beat raises the excitement.
Jenny Teator is a St. Louis native who’s made her move to Nashville sharing
her soul through her guitar and vocals. Performing for over a decade,
Teator’s music shows her strength and confidence both in solo shows,
collaborations, or when she performed with her long-term group Jenny
Teator and the Fevers – a sexy blues/rock band that rocked Columbia,
Missouri for years. Inspired by singers Grace Potter and Susan Tedeschi,
Teator has a very straight forward lyrical style and the music follows the
feelings of those words verbatim.
“Surrender is about lust and curiosity. It talks about the primal want you get
when someone comes into your life and they leave you wanting MORE. It’s
more than just “I’m attracted to you”. It was this powerful gut feeling that
took over my body, creating thoughts of what it could be like with this
person. I think we are quick to disregard those moments and immediately
feel “dirty” or “wrong” for thinking those thoughts. I’m saying, embrace it.
We are only human. The possibilities are endless y’all.” Jenny Teator

‘Born Again’ by AirLab7 & EAM is uplifting. The energetic main section gets
you up and dancing. The light break is atmospheric and whirls delightfully
in the air. There is a good feeling throughout this piece.
Continuing the huge success of their 2018 debut on Infrasonic
Pure, AirLab7 & EAM return with another slice of heavenly uplifting trance
in the form of 'Born Again'. After the runaway success of their debut single
'Voice of the Desert' picked up major support, 'Born Again' is set to continue
that momentum. Packed with another divine melody, bags of energy and
effortlessly oozing that lush, warm Infrasonic Pure sound throughout.

The ‘Kinesia Vol.2’ compilation by Kinesen Records is an enchanting display
of their work. Each track is beautifully crafted with such detail surrounded
by deep, emotive atmosphere. From the hard excitement of ‘Setkh’ to the
enthralling thoughtfulness of ‘Border or retro trip of ‘Blitz’, this is a really
diverse set of sounds.
Kinesen finally reaches release number 25 and we decided to celebrate it
with a V/A compilation including ten original tracks and also introducing
four new artists.
Between the new faces we present Mittens, UK producer currently based in
Melbourne who offers up 'Setkh', an incredible space trip followed thought
powerful techno drums creating a unique ambience. Fabio Caria is also
making his debut on Kinesen. Hailing from Sardinia, he's currently living in
Berlin and for this compilation Fabio shows up an electronic track with
several minimal techno and breaks & beats influences. Artiglio is a Swiss DJ
and producer, previously known as Raimond Ford. New on Kinesen, he's
making his strong launch closing the compilation with a wide progressive
techno track revealing introspective and dark textures. LVTECE is the new
duo name of Parsifal and Helas and we welcome them for their first
contribution on Kinesen. The two Parisians drop a fascinating track at times
ethnic and afro house called 'Konnichiwa'. Our Berlin based
boy Roboscope is back after his 'Intergalactic EP' showing up a tangled
glitched electro track. 'Blitz' reflects indeed how brilliant and versatile the
young Swiss producer is.
