Spotlight 

It’s good to be kind and recognise those who are quietly doing great 

things. So this Spotlight shines the light on a few of those lovely people 

who we are proud to call our friends… 

I have never ordered anything for myself from DNR Vinyl, yet I have 

spent a lot at this store and I’ve received nothing but quality and 

kindness. I really respect and admire DNR because it's just a whole lot of 

genuine love for music in one spot. The home for underground vinyl 

lovers run by a true connoisseur. A few gems currently in stock include 

the exclusive ‘DnR Allstars Vol 1’ with a great gnarly piece from El-B, 

‘Waiting 4x4 EP - Genius Cru’ which is one of my all-time favourite 

tracks, and my wonderful friend’s release ‘Iree / Global Killer - D-Mize’. 

We welcome Shadowhearts Recordings from parent-label Slime 

Recordings. This new project focusses on DnB, where we can expect “the 

finest liquid beats and melodic sounds”. The Slime identity is everincreasing 

its reputation of quality and skilful craft. Every single element 

of the brand, the releases, the administration… is a work of art, 

thoroughly thought out and beautifully expressed. So, even with just the 

snippet of knowing that Australian producer Drop Fame will be the first 

artist on Shadowhearts, is enough for everyone to know that it will be 

something pretty notable. 

Trance artist Daniel Wanrooy is living his best life (okay, that was 

cheesy). He’ll be back in Helsinki in October warming up for Ferry 

Corsten at The Circus, he’s been chosen in Trance Podium’s top 100 DJs 

for 2019, and his latest edgy track ‘Insight’ is killing it on the FSOE 

Parallels imprint. 

One-man band Danny Blaze is forever busy these days. He’s one of those 

who has been in the game for a long time, mainly working with House & 

UKG, and has worked hard to climb the music ladder. It’s so great to see 

him finally getting the recognition he deserves and enjoying so many 

exciting opportunities. You can catch his show every Monday 2pm on 

Flex FM 101.4FM, find him playing at his ‘National Anthems’ events 


September 7th & October 5th at The Red Lion Hotel in Luton, and his 

latest bumpy rework of ‘You’re Not Alone’ is out now. 

This one goes out to the SprayDodger… huh? Mark Hill, original Artful 

Dodger member, is at it again by fully teasing us with VERY little info. 

He’s planning “something pretty ambitious” of what we know is taking 

an opportunity after having been frustrated with the music biz. We’ve 

been told to subscribe to the currently empty YouTube channel, buy 

merchandise in support of this illusive project and ermm… From the 

abstract boat-like logo design, the fact that he’s passed a sailing course 

(congrats!), and his recent practices with a drone, tell us that it’s 

somewhat to do with sailing and filming that adventure. Or it could be 

something totally different entirely, and this is all just a lengthy ploy to 

fooling us in the wrong direction! Only time will tell. 

A few more mentions… Leanne Louise, this girl is so passionate and 

sweet. She’s currently having a blast performing on various stages, 

meeting like-minded individuals and also championing autism 

awareness. Another power of positivity is Eddie Craig (Wideboys), his 

motivational videos are so amazing and his level of gratitude is just out 

of this world - so I know he’s going to love what’s on page 32! And on a 

soulful note, Oggie has just launched the fortnightly events brand ‘The 

Playlist Live’ featuring his talented friends in music and entertainment at 

The London Cabaret Club - Rose Room. 

If I’m honest, I would love to sit here for days, months, years sharing all 

of our great friends - there are just so many. But instead, I’ll just say that 

we love you all and invite you to open your arms to receive this big 

GROUP HUG :)

‘Those Days’ by Matter Of Tact featuring CH is a contemporary song 

of hazy feelings through life. The production encompasses an 

ambient dream-pop atmosphere, a light and rhythmic tempo, as 

well as a daring main section to dance to. Her husky voice expresses 

hurt emotions, betrayal and the need to feel alive. The video is a 

darkly portrayal of inner conflict, twisted revenge, insecurity and 

scandal. Let me kiss away those darkest days. 

"When I started this project, I wanted to aim for a contrast between 

dance music and my very own style. Coming from a dance music 

background, it was important for me to keep my signature in this 

one. After several studio sessions with singer Charlotte de Halleux 

(CH), I started to rewrite some parts of the track. This wasn’t that 

easy as this was one of the first times that I collaborated with so 

many people. I am very proud of this and of what we’ve achieved!"

Much love to Audiation Magazine for the 

continued support of Astronata, featuring their 

latest single "Pain" in the current issue! It's 

available to stream and download now! 

- Slime Recordings 


MY TRACK OF THE MONTH 

'A Racket In Hand' by Alexander Joseph 

New track from talented singer/songwriter, Alexander 

Joseph, with a positive upbeat lyric that calls out… 

“Everything is possible, if you believe. Put a racket in 

your hand for the world to see.” 

It features a great fun video that was filmed by one of the 

coaches (Martyn Whait) at a recent GB wheelchair tennis 

simulation camp in Tokyo as part of their preparation for 

the Paralympic games, which has less than one year to go 

till it begins. Racket In Hand is your perfect summer, catchy 

Coldplay-style guitar & beat-driven pop/rock anthem. The 

clips in the video are of a practice match between the 

British and Japanese players… Go check it out now, you 

wont be disappointed!

My broken strings weep in silence 

The remnants of a final discord, struck in anger 

As you had sat in that bleak brown chair 

Your hands gripped around me 

Pain taking over as your eyes clouded 

Hurling me across the bare room 

And leaving me to die 

A vintage model, natural mahogany and rosewood crafted together 

A showpiece you had proudly cherished 

Her gift to you 

On your 30th birthday 

How did she know? 

You had pined for me your whole life 

Never thinking you'd ever own me 

She would not tire of hearing us perform 

Always requesting her favourite song 

The lively jig, talking of sunshine and daisies 

Her skirt trying to keep up as she twirled blissfully 

No cares in the world 

The same reason you took me there tonight 

To show her once more the love you had lost 

The sweetest serenade 

Played outside her window 

Just like a scene from a classic movie 

She was meant to rush into your arms 

“And, they lived happily ever after” 

A cheesy romance 

Except, that isn’t what happened 

So, here we are… 

Cold and alone 

Together in remorse 

Heartbroken

Hailing from Germany and now 

residing in Brussels, the producer and 

DJ likes to dabble in a mix of urban and 

electronic music styles. Matter Of Tact 

always keeps things varied and does 

not pertain to any one genre, in order 

to create interest and challenge 

himself in collaborations. 

"Each experience with another 

musician is an opportunity of 

originality." 

Matter Of Tact has gained strong 

support and regard with his releases 

including ‘You Don’t’ featuring 

Husson, ‘Relief’ featuring Sharie and 

the ‘Apollo EP’. With the release of his 

fascinating new single ‘Those Days’, he 

kindly shares his journey with us… 

Tell us about yourself and how you got 

into music. 

When I was a child, I had the opportunity 

to meet an audio engineer during a rock 

concert. He made me meet the whole 

crew before the show and explained to 

me all the hardware he was using. I was 

so impressed by that, it stuck in my head. 

Imagine seeing a mixing table as a 

child… Not much after, I decided it was 

time to start something. I purchased my 

first turntables and did a lot of gigs here 

in Brussels. It’s also around that time I 

got into music production. Well, my 

music sucked hard back then, but as 

time passed by, I gained some skills and 

managed to make some cool beats. My 

first productions were kind of Trance 

tracks. I was much more into electronic 

dance music, club music, and dubstep. 

That changed a bit as I started trying to 

build my own sounds and not compose 

bangers only. 

Can you reveal any information about 

the EP you’re working on, and when can 

we expect to hear it? 

A bit of a secret ha! More seriously, there 

are a few tracks coming and you should 

expect to hear them around October. 

Those are a bit different from my last 

releases. I have been working on them 

for some time now and some of them 

go back to the roots of my project. In 

fact sometimes I reopen older projects 

that I totally forgot about and then magic 

happens. 

Can you tell us a little about the music 

industry in Brussels? 

Yes! People are cool here. I mean 

Brussels is so small and, as such, you 

quickly know everyone or someone who 

knows someone. The only thing that I 

sometimes miss here is more venues. 

Outside the festival season, Belgium is 

known for, you don’t have that many 

opportunities for live gigs. They exist 

but not too often. 

DJ’ing or producing, describe your 

musical style. 

I think producing, as it gives you so much 

freedom. My style is various, electronic 

and sometimes heavy. I try not to focus 

on specific genres, as I find it much more 

exciting to just try out things and see 

where the music is going. I’m also trying 

to build up a live show in the long term! 


19

What advice do you have for aspiring 

artists? 

Try new styles instead of keeping it too 

similar and, once your music is ready, 

don’t be afraid to release them. I see 

that with a lot of people, they make 

great music but are too scared to release 

them. Also, build a team as some people 

can help you whether they make films, 

visuals… making this journey on your 

own is difficult, promoting your content 

is important, probably as much as doing 

music. 

What are your future plans? 

Now I’m working on the final bits of my 

EP, but it’s almost ready. There may be 

some cool events coming in October. 

Can’t talk about them too much yet but 

expect sweet things! Outside this EP I 

also worked with a lot of other 

producers and singers. We also recently 

released a track with “Husson” that will 

get a music video in September. 

Any last words? 

Lots of thanks to Ruby from Audiation 

for this opportunity and to Okuna! Stay 

tuned, whether it’s on Instagram or 

Facebook as there will be many 

surprises in the upcoming months.

Note to 

Pomplamoose 

Jack, Nataly & Crew Members, 

Greetings from the island of Mauritius and from Audiation! 

Hey there! I am writing while listening to your channel (I have subscribed!) … 

Don't quite recall how I came across your music, but guys, you do rock! 

My favorite song/mash-up for now is the JamiroBeeGees Mash Up. The vocals are 

clear and perfectly pitched for the music you deliver. Your funky notes are full of 

happiness and are an explosion of good vibes to the soul. 

Now, seeing the live performance is another burst of energy. You have those 

expressions of being so happy to be here and having good fun(k). I love these faces, 

energy and smiles of Jack during the play… the looks when the bass line lift up the 

songs, the delicate rhythm from the guitar coupled with the clear funky effects, and 

how the band just goes smoothly together. 

I keep discovering your music and would like to thank you for sharing your passion. A 

warm welcome indeed. 

Keep Well.

Stv

Chillout... 

Max Ryan - Adrift 

A firm beat, a strong hand leading you into the 

light. A light which dazzles, soothing 

atmosphere surrounding you. You take a 

moment to slowly turn, arms outspread, looking 

up at the glorious rays shining through the 

treetops. The light and pleasing melody gently 

raise the corners of your mouth. An escape. 

DJ PAUL (AR) - Healing Sounds 

In the grey monotonous world a rainbow of 

violet, emerald, sapphire, crimson and a myriad 

of colours shimmer into existence. Textured 

detail trickle across a calm atmospheric lake of 

sound. Influences of nature and cultural beauty 

delight the senses.

You can find every solution 

deep in your heart and feel 

strong about it. 

Sleepless nights… 

Nevertheless, the hope isn't damaged 

by the darkness all around.

Alex from Jack feat. Bulle - The Game

Scored another 1st recently. 

Graced the cover of a magazine. 

Big BIG shouts to Ruby and the 

team over at Audiation Magazine 

for giving me the platform . 

So humbled and blessed to be 

given the opportunity. 

I trust that the universe will 

provide many many more.

Elrow Town London 2019 

The most weird, wonderful and magical show in underground music that is 

Elrow returned to the party capital of England for its 3rd edition of Elrow 

Town London, and they did not disappoint. Scaling down from 2 days to 

just the 1 and a even with a slight change in venue from last year, moving 

to the north of London from the east, the festival was sold out as they upped 

the ante on things and the vibe inside was incredible. Deep in the middle 

of August, the weather was on side as a host of artists played across 10 

different stages - some more easily found than others, which only added 

to the beauty of the experience which was enjoyed by ravers of all ages 

legal to rave. 

From the start, the punches were pulled with the opening set on the main 

stage being played by Elrow mainstay Marc Maya followed by an incredible 

b2b2b by Detlef, Lastmun & Nathan Barato. The open air was often found 

to be filled by confetti cannons whilst, on the ground amongst all the 

revellers, over 150 different characters could be found running, interacting 

with and entertaining the crowds. The big tent named The Enchanted Forest 

was exactly the same sort of vibe you'd experience in the indoor terrace 

at the home of Elrow Barcelona - magical. It was dark and gloomy but 

fluorescent. Inside may have been baking hot, it didn't stop the crowd from 

stomping non-stop to the likes of Franky Rizardo, De La Swing & Micheal

elrow is an award-winning experiential event concept and party series 

founded in 2010 by Cruz and Juan Arnau Lasierra; the sixth generation from 

a dynasty of entrepreneurs also responsible for creating Monegros Festival 

and legendary Club Florida 135 in Fraga, Spain. From their head-quarters in 

Barcelona, elrow have taken the world by storm with their unforgettable 

party style, pairing elaborate production, interactive performers and zany 

characters with the best electronic music, placing them as a global reference 

for circus inspired parties with tickets to the visual spectaculars usually 

selling out in minutes. A myriad of different themes and concepts makeup 

elrow's zeitgeist with sub-brands including 'Rowlympics'; their own take on

Soprano ft Vincenzo - Le Coach 

#10 in Mauritius 

It’s time to go push, we have dreams to lift. This is an ultimate 

power song aka a motivational talk from your coach telling you 

not to give up. The lively production gets you jumping with a fun, 

uplifting spirit. Snappy French lyrics are all up in your face as the 

team chants “Allez” - Go! 

AJ Tracey - Ladbroke Grove 

#5 in UK 

A lovely, warm and likeable 2-Step beat sets the mood together with a 

light vocal sentiment. The fresh bars bring a great street vibe. I’m a 

rockstar, DJ mash up the deck. 

Boomdabash & Alessandra Amoroso - Mambo Salentino 

#5 in Italy 

Baila. Dance… Trumpets flare in vivd triumph as the fluid Italian 

male vocals dance with the alluring female. This is a colourful 

song of enjoying the moment and forgetting any worries.

‘Good Vibes Only (VIP)’ by Them Ones is an absolute summer banger! The 

chilled garage production has just the right amount of bumpiness, warmth 

and bass to provide the perfect joyful raving playground. The lively energy 

bouncing between this lyrical trio is contagious. Snappy ruthless flows 

expressing nostalgia and good times together with a smooth chorus to coax a 

smile out of every listener. Simply three cheeky lads having fun and spreading 

good vibes! 

Them Ones are an exciting new trio featuring Eddie Craig, from the seminal UK 

Garage group Wideboys, responsible for the genre defining anthem Sambucca, 

and are now established as the UK's no.1 remix team. Them Ones also features 

Daniel O'Reilly (aka Dapper Laughs), one of the biggest influencers in the UK, 

with 5 Million social media fans. O’Reilly's compilation album Naughty Sesh - 

Weekend Anthems hit No.7 in Official UK Chart in 2018. And, his single 

Naughty Sesh with Majestic, has amassed over 2.5 million Spotify plays so far. 

Making up the trio is the multitalented artist Nathan Richards, also known as 

Like Son who burst onto the scene with his Danny Howard supported debut 

Freakin on BBC Radio 1. 

Them Ones recent debut single "It's A Madness", picked up early support 

across Kiss FM and Kiss Fresh. Them Ones now return with massive UK Garage 

follow up single "Good Vibes Only (VIP)" that has already hit No.1 spot on 

iTunes Dance chart!

’Show Me’ by Molly Hammar featuring Kim Cesarion is a gorgeous 

narration of a summer love story. Her delicate tones dance with his husky 

flow in a heady vocal blend. Kiss my walls then you take 'em all down. The 

soft and inviting production has an exciting twist of funk to set the mood. 

Surf with me on a wave real nice. Full of passion and desire, the heat is 

palpable. 

Chart topping sensation Molly Hammar teams up with fellow Swedish star 

Kim Cesarion for her stunning new single, ‘Show Me'. Produced by Pontus 

Persson, ‘Show Me’ is the third single from Molly’s forthcoming EP and 

follows hit singles ‘No Place Like Me’ featuring Big Narstie and ‘WORDS’. 

A spirit of adventure, independence and self-discovery continues to shine 

through Molly’s latest offering which carries a strong positive message 

“bring back the romance!” Molly said warmly about the song, “Both 

myself and Kim are hopeless romantics, so when we got together in the 

studio for the first time it was clear that we were going to write a song 

about love. I hope that people who listen to the song will join us in 

spreading loving vibes to the world.” 

Molly Hammar grew up with jazz musician parents and Kim Cesarion has a 

background in classical music, but it is through their shared love for R&B 

and pop that they found each other musically. Kim Cesarion had his 

breakthrough in 2013 with his debut single ‘Undressed’, a track that has 

amassed more than 24 million YouTube views. He returned last year with 

the EP ‘Bleed’ from which the lead track had its world premiere on a plane 

to SXSW in Austin. 

Kim said “Seizing the opportunity to work with one of the best voices in 

Sweden was a total no brainer for me, although we have slightly different 

approaches to the creative process and the producer Pontus Persson was 

the perfect match. Now I’m just really excited about sharing the single 

and to delivering some Zouk vibes this summer! " 

Previous singles from Molly’s hotly anticipated second EP have garnered 

widespread media support across the UK and globally from the likes of 

BBC Radio 2, BBC 1Xtra, Channel 4, The Line of Best Fit, Complex, NYLON 

and Idolator to name but a few. The next few months will see Molly 

Hammar complete a short summer tour in Sweden and release her EP, that 

finds Molly baring her soul on the dynamic within relationships, her own 

identity and lost nights out in London.

y Chiedu Oraka x Deezkid is 

insanely addictive! 

The nifty production consists of funky 

Afro-style drums and a moody little melody. 

The lyrical flows grab you and pull you in 

with catch hooks. One deep and husky, the 

Man are just 

other snappy and direct. 

Drop down and give me 

something. 


flexin’ now.

Chiedu Oraka & Deezkid are the sound of a new working-class 

Northern England. Meeting at The Warren Youth Project, 

Deeze agreed to volunteer in exchange for using their studio 

where he met Chiedu after rating a mixtape of his and telling 

him he could make beats. 

Now the Hull natives are cutting their own path with Men 

Behaving Badly, a commentary on the UK’s real nightlife 

combining Grime, Funky, Afro-fusion & Garage with rave/club 

culture wrapped in trademark Yorkshire humour, urging you 

to hit the bars and dancefloors as hard as a Tyson right to the 

body, right to the head. 

“Men Behaving Badly isn't defined by a genre, you can’t just 

put this into a box. It's a lifestyle, we know what we are, 

Northern reprobates who don't tend to do well with it comes 

to rules” explains Chiedu. “We've made a record that hasn't 

made us conform to what’s out now. It’s a National Anthem 

that will make any stiff dancer feel like James Brown as soon 

the track comes on. So, grab a drink and shake a leg” 

In a city often dominated by guitar music, Oraka & Deeze have 

conceived the UK’s freshest alternative sound with nods to 

the early 00s which has already attracted the attention of BBC 

Radio 1 (Mike Skinner with Annie Mac), 1Xtra (Introducing 

Track of the Week), Radio 1’s Big Weekend, 6 Music (Tom 

Robinson), The Guardian, i-D, The Quietus & BBC’s Newsbeat. 

Previous single ‘Darcy’ was the 8th longest track to ever be on 

Grime Shutdown for over 300 days, over 2.3M streams 

followed by Chiedu being the only UK MC to officially drop 

bars on the biggest Hip Hop beat of the year, Blueface’s 

‘Thotiana’.

‘El Nido’ by Mij Mack is a chilled set of tracks for the summer evenings. The 

title track is a wonderfully intricate production of lovely textural elements, 

together with a gentle glow of an exotic female voice as the soothing 

atmosphere washes over you. Second track ‘We Got Somewhere’ takes a turn 

into a pleasing funky night with the fun beats and also features a feeling of 

nostalgia. 

Mij Mack is back on Kenja Records. The producer like to travel round the world 

and take in different cultures. As he says 'to stay sane, when I make my tracks I 

visualise the places I want to go and this inspires the music.” We are glad he 

does! Two wicked Melodic deep house tracks on his new EP 'El Nido' 

www.soundcloud.com/mijmack 


A tumble of 

emotions. 

A soulful and 

tropical fiesta! 

39

‘Be Good’ by D Selektah is a lovely UKG trio. The title track displays a pretty 

piano melody together with a gorgeous female vocal, on top of a minimal 

lively beat with a subtle bass wobble and little sparkles. Be good to me, my 

baby. ‘Take Me Home’ holds a smooth hazy air with a raspy vocal, the main 

section comes with a fresh modern style. The trio is complete with CJ Reign’s 

remix of ‘Be Good’, he adds charming oriental strings and then drops down 

into a hard, choppy production. 

Downplay is proud to welcome Swiss-based producer D Selektah to the label 

for our next release. ‘Be Good’ floats in on a summer breeze of light piano keys 

and swelling strings, with a soulful vocal FX layered on top. This gives way to 

bubbling bass and a laconic 2-step groove before taking it up a gear into a 4x4 

stomper to bring us a UKG roller perfect for the late summer sunshine. 

‘Take Me Home’ takes the same path with a sweet R&B vocal rolling over 

subtle chords and bass stabs, all underpinned by that trademark smooth D 

Selektah beatwork. 

Garage legend CJ Reign steps up to remix the title track and it’s a masterclass 

in UKG production with glittering strings and intricate percussion providing 

the underlying structure for those soaring vocals and glorious chords before 

being chopped and layered with lazer-beam precision.

Riding the rails across a picturesque Thailand. My mind at 

ease, my soul wandering into freedom. 

Jet off with your summer accompaniment of the ‘Travel EP’ by 

Swedish producer TerraNation. For the first track, Travel’ holds 

modern dance melodies, a lively tempo and a hint of darkness 

reflecting the thrilling taste for adventure. Part two of the EP 

he delivers an exciting and refreshing burst of energy with a 

remix of Mark Rustell’s ‘Morning Sun’ - this mood of 

anticipation carries us on the journey. 

Inspired by travels around the world, TerraNation explains that 

the EP gives “particular feelings to just relax your mind and 

fade away into those moments of your life..” He also mentions, 

“I wanna share my moment with this song when i travel to 

other continents.”

‘Phase’ by Alice Rowe is the story of a girl rising up through the storm, not 

taking any nonsense anymore. You ain’t worth my time. Her sultry voice has a 

lovely mix of raspiness and sweetness. The slinky summery production allows 

your body to sway gently. You were just a phase, time to move on. 

From Soundcloud sensation to working with Grammy and MOBO nominated 

producers, Alice Rowe is more than just a ‘phase’. Following her fantastically 

well-received release ‘Figure You Out’ which premiered with DJ Ace at BBC 

Radio 1Xtra, Alice Rowe is back with the feisty joint ‘Phase’, produced by UK 

producers ZDot and Krunchie. 

Alice brings with her a distinctive vibe that draws on everything that is 

popping from the UK underground. Laced across a bouncy trap beat, Alice 

deconstructs elements from it and pairs them with a more fluid R&B sound. 

Her confident, emotive vocals and songwriting build in depth and fire to the 

track as she dissects a lustful relationship, incomparable with love, drawing 

you in to the essence of the record whilst the mid-tempo beat induces 

unstoppable movement. 

Having weighed in on some heavy productions so far that have opened up her 

own take on R&B, Alice Rowe continues to work with producers that you 

wouldn’t typically associate with the genre. Finding a sound that resonates 

with her and inspires her lyrical flow is the first step of her creating process 

and one that lends itself to making her sound so fresh, adding her own depth 

and soul then whips the magic in to the final offering.

A romantic saga, 

together at last. 

A refreshing nod 

to timeless 

memories.

The Mon Frère brothers are always doing something 

interesting and allowing their creative juices to flow. As 

featured previously, Paul’s new Megaphonic project 

delivers bright pop sensations to fill your life with tropical 

vibrancy. We’re now excited to introduce Matt’s new 

breakbeat endeavour Mirage. This is a delight for both the 

visual and audio senses with a conflicting though artistic 

idea of both satire and flair melded together. 

‘Sexy’ by Mirage is the debut track, it leads in with a sturdy 

percussion as the visuals show an office worker mocking 

provocative dancing. We switch to a black backdrop and a 

dancer in red with the professional talent of suggestive 

dance. An equally raunchy bass-driven melody enters 

together with a “sexy” vocal sample. A cold, jarring element 

is added which kind of throws things off balance. 

‘Another One’ is the second track with a trendy street / hip 

hop beat. The video begins by showcasing two really cool 

urban dancers. A glowing wave of atmosphere rises and the 

chopped commercial vocal plays in. We move to a more 

common setting with a colourful pair in oversized glasses, 

wigs, bear shoes, packets of meat and Quorn, a balloon 

burst, a definitely baffled cat, and very strange dancing 

which will haunt you long after you’ve seen it. 

No doubt, the forthcoming track ‘Punch In The Face’ will be 

something of a statement considering the first two releases 

and of course that subtle title! Mirage is creating an 

illusion… making a fool of the system but also shining the 

light on those who have broken free through dance.

‘Open Arms’ by MYKROBOY & remixed by Dom Hz delivers an interesting play 

of moods. The moody piano chords hold a deep atmosphere whilst the little 

trickles of textured voices and pretty detail create colourful flourishes. The 

bumpy drop switches on a steely attitude with playful use of modern garage 

sounds. A level of enlightenment comes into play as strings rise from a place 

unknown. 

To celebrate a year since my 'Open Arms EP' dropped, I'm giving away this epic 

remix from Manchester legend, Dom Hz for FREE DOWNLOAD! As you'll hear, 

it's a total contrast to the original but still morphs throughout, going on a mad 

journey of different rhythms, futuristic soundscapes and textures, while still 

being very much geared towards the dancefloor. Perfect summer garage vibes 

and guaranteed to sit well in any set!
