Upcoming Release: Hiding Away – Stephanie Sounds (ft. Rick Leon James)

East London songbird STEPHANIE SOUNDS gets geared up for the release of her forthcoming single, ‘Hiding Away’, the second offering from her well-received debut album, ‘Much Better’, released last October.

Showcasing on-point harmonies, blissfully backed by delicate guitar plucks, which gives off a rich folklore/worldly affair, ‘Hiding Away’ is definitely an anthem for anyone who’s been hurt and betrayed by close friends – but through the journey of self-healing – the experience will make you a stronger person. Bass player Rick Leon James – who has worked with musical heavyweights such as Tinie Tempah and Wretch 32 – injects a real gutsy funk to the bass line.

As well as a vocal phenomenon on stage, Stephanie is also an up and coming fashion designer

As well as providing backing vocals for some of the world’s leading artists, including Celine Dion, Will Young, Jessie J, Blur, Florence and The Machine, Kasabian, Daniel Bedingfield, Natasha Bedingfield, Lemar, Jamelia, Westlife and McFly, STEPHANIE SOUNDS is also a promising designer who has launched her label, So London Boutique 

The clothing line is gaining attention from people across the globe through blogs, social media and big stages at festivals. Her edgy and trendy designs, brought to life by African prints, are frequently requested by other artists and creatives for their events and performances.

‘Hiding Away’ will be available on all major digital/download sites from 17th August. Check it out below:

New Track! Sensi – Project X

project x

Producer Ben Johnson ventured out as PROJECT X and has dropped his brand new debut track, Sensi.

Although the 12-hour old slammer displays  bold use of two-step garage and drum’n’bass, Johnson is also influenced by jungle and house music and will make an appearance in future releases.

Before PROJECT X, the south Londoner  produced drum & bass releases supported by Zinc and Ram Records, remixed for Florence and the Machine and received praise from Ibiza Rocks, NME Radio and Kiss FM. With this latest release, this one-man show will unquestionably crank up even more support.

Sensi is now available as a free download via SoundCloud.

 

Upcoming Release: Proton – Solsine (ft. Brownie & Santego)

Featuring the haunting vocals of Brownie and rapid fire delivery of rapper Santego, SLOSINE are on the verge of releasing their forthcoming effort Proton. Out on 7th September, the four-and-a-half minute production displays glacial soundscapes setting the backdrop for a noxious mix of garage basslines.

Formed in late 2014, the London-based duo dropped their first single Deeper  in March 2015. The second single Time quickly followed in May, gaining support from DJs Mike Delinquent (Kiss), Charlie Tee, TS7 (Kiss Fresh) and DJ Woody (Capital Extra)​ as well as being​ featured on numerous blogs including EDM.com, Chicago EDM and Insomniac.

Likened to the British electronic producers, Chase & Status, they have performed with NME, Kiss FM, reached No1 on The Hype Machine and remixed for artists including Florence And The Machine under different aliases.

To add to their short but impressive CV, the up and coming producers developed a close-knit group of featured artists and have collectively released with Island Records, Defected and Stealth as well as penning songs for Rudimental’s recent album and supported Laura Mvula and Ella Eyre.

In the last year they have performed at top London venues including Proud, 93 Feet East, The Stillery, Kensington Roof Gardens and South London’s answer to carnival, Brixton Splash.

After supporting acts such as The Smiths, Scroobious Pip and Russell Lissack (Bloc Party) and with a return visit to Ibiza Rocks this summer, 2015 is shaping up to be an exciting year for these beatmasters.

Song of the day: Lifeline-Kate Hazeldine

Lifeline Kate Heraldine

If I was to describe today’s song in one word, it will have to be absolutely stunning (I know, I know that’s two words!) Please take time out and listen to Lifeline by British singer/songwriter KATE HAZELDINE. The single was released last month.

Drawing inspiration from KATE BUSH and FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE, the 20 year-old liverpudlian fuses sweet melodic piano riffs and ambient guitars with hauntingly beautiful vocals – creating that heavenly chocolate wave of sound. Hard to imagine? Well have a listen to Lifeline…while you’re here, it’s worth listening to her equally stunning B-side Girl in the Window.

If you like what you hear, the single is available for purchase on Itunes…also say hi to this angelic singer @KateHazeldine
