Eliza Rose Teams Up With The Martinez Brothers For Chicago-Tinged Track ‘Pleasure Peak’.

Double Brit award nominated, platinum selling artist ELIZA ROSE teams up with the incomparable dance music heavyweights The Martinez Brothers for a sizzling new track ‘Pleasure Peak’ – a golden-era Chicago house bass-line which leads listeners into a dance-floor wonderland of sharpened drum programming and hypnagogic synths. The track fervently evolves into a pulsating peak-time anthem, twisting and morphing to the sound of the organ bass with Rose’s tantalising vocal gliding atop the intoxicating new single.

Ahead of the track’s release, Eliza joined Martinez Brothers at their residency at Hï Ibiza where they debuted and performed the track to a huge reception on the legendary balearic dancefloor.

Accompanying the track is an Isaac Lamb directed video shot in Ibiza that takes reference from iconic videos from the likes of Missy Elliot, Aaliyah, Kylie and more. Featuring Eliza and The Martinez Brothers in the mad flow of wild day on the white isle, sailing on a yacht, riding in a Jeep and ending up in the club, the contrasting day and night elements that make up an ideal 24 hours in Ibiza also represent the light and dark elements of the track is self.

Speaking on the single, Eliza says: “Pleasure Peak is that sexy Ibiza summer roller. Sharing similar ideals with the island in the sense that it has two sides. The Baleari sunny beach vibe and the hard hitting lose yourself in Ibiza clubland. Throughout the track both the lyrics and beat play with the light and the darkness, the sun and the shade, the glitter ball and the grit. Competing…. whilst at the same time balancing each other out. It was a dream to work with The Martinez Brothers. I have been a fan of theirs for such a long time so to go from seeing them in the rave to a collaboration on track that screams DC:10 is giving serious balearic full circle energy.”

Song of the Day: Grifter – Dimzy

Encapsulating the feeling and experience of being a young black man growing up in London, DIMZY‘s track, ‘Grafter’ explores the fight and will-power that comes with it. Referencing his Mum as a big inspiration behind his determination to succeed, he tells a tale that many will relate to.

Dimzy says of his hard-hitting release: “Grafter is about me being a young black man in the UK speaking on what London is like right now. It’s about my determination to win in everything including war, war on being the best version of my myself and to keep driving at full force no matter the barriers I come across. Every day for a young black man is war, so war is war, if you want it that’s that. I’m a hustler and grafter just like my mum; my mum was my biggest motivation when it came to getting money, she always found a way no matter the circumstances that’s why I’m the hustler I am today.”

Journeying back to 2012 where Dimzy first made his emergence in UK Rap and Drill, it was the year of 2014 that he began to play an integral role in the genre’s growth. Dimzy is prominently known for his part in 67, a collective of artists that pioneered Drill with their explosive single ‘Let’s Lurk’, who swiftly gained millions of views online. Since then, the rest is history! Housing various projects including ‘A Glass of Water’, ‘Dim the Lights’, and more, the London native is gearing up for an explosive year ahead.
