Esteemed EDM collaborator and versatile hip hop/pop artist PEYTN, changes lanes to melodic rap with single ‘Issues’ to deliver a heartfelt, vulnerable and raw account of the mental anguish toxicity in a relationship brings.
Peytn expands further on the release: “Everybody has been through that toxic relationship that left you questioning everything you’ve believed about love. From the listeners perspective, the only thing I care about them gaining is the knowledge that they are not alone.”
Formerly known as Atarii, Arizona-born/Salt Lake City-based Peytn has created his own lane in the Hip Hop and EDM industries. Moving from fast paced, hard styled hip hop, like all of his biggest inspirations, (Mac Miller, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar), Peytn focuses more on making music that comes from experiences, simply to create new experiences for many. Since rebranding from his former name, Peytn collected over 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone within the first year.
A dark rolling beat which takes us on a nocturnal stroll in Santa Monica, on Diamond-certified producer ANTOINE CHAMBE‘s single ‘Breathing Underwater’, featuring multi-Grammy-nominated singer Jimmy Burney, who spins the tale of passionate yet transient love on the piece.
‘Breathing Underwater’ sees Antoine take a step away from home of his lighter works, instead confronting a more sombre topic, which calls to mind the magnetic works of The Weeknd, Busy P, Kavinsky and Duke Dumont.
Born and based in Lyon, France, Antoine Chambe has performed around the world, including The Vibe Guide Festival 2017 (with Sam Feldt, Felix Jaehn and Klangkarussell), MyDeezer Festival 2018 (Joris Delacroix, Yuksek, Broken Back) as well as appearing as a supporting act for Kavinsky and live shows with Polo & Pan, C2C, Uppermost, Breakbot and Thylacine to name a few. The producer is also known for founding the well-known publishing house, label and music blog, Riptide Music. While creating his unique sound, the producer turns to the likes of Duke Dumont, Daft Punk, Kavinsky, Kygo and Purple Disco Machine for inspiration.
Los Angeles-born and based Jimmy Burney has worked with a wealth of well-known names including Demi Lovato, Charlie Wilson, Big Time Rush, David Foster and Babyface amongst others.
‘Breathing Underwater’ is the last single from his debut LP, ‘Riverside’, released 3rd June via Roy Music. Have a listen below…
‘Tried’ is ASHLEIGH BANKX‘s first single release of 2022, which captures the essence of UK Afro-Swing. The single shows the zimbabwean native’s bold lyricism and instrumentation to tell a bittersweet story of love and romance, while showcasing her rich vocal and candid lyricism. Ashleigh’s music has been likened to Amy Winehouse, Rihanna, Beyonce and Etta James.
Her songwriting abilities and vocal tonality distinguish her as an authentic performer with a story to share with the world. She has previously been supported by the likes of GRM Daily, Grunge Cake, Trench, Wordplay Mag, GRM Daily and Creative Gen.
Already being supported by DJ Target at BBC 1Xtra and featuring sun-dappled chords and a soft bassline, ‘All Night’ is a dream of a record that flows through a contemporary pop and R&B space. Crafted perfectly with soulful instrumentation and an exceptional vocal that instantly melts you into the vibe of the track, it is also the coming of TREVIS.
Caressing the track with his soft, caramel tones that waver with soul as he lays down his vocals across the record, Trevis remains the star throughout, ensuring each lyric is perfectly placed with clarity and delivery. Detailing a night driving around the city after meeting a girl, the track captures the feeling of being in the moment and the burning, lustful desire of being with someone new.
Born and raised in Norway, Trevis found a place to call home in the musical melting pot of California, where he found his way to the studios of super-producer Harmony Samuels and the BOE Camp. Responsible for hits with Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige, Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony, Chip, Ciara, Chris Brown and many more, Trevis would sit at the back of Harmony’s studio sessions, listening and watching top-tier musicians in their space and dissecting the formula of how to bring the best out in that creative moment. Inspired and educated, Trevis found that creating his own music became his therapy and a healthy outlet to express himself.
Speaking on the single, Trevis says: “All Night is the first song I did with my UK brothers Sons Of Sonix, a collab with them was way overdue. The same night we made it, we posted a snippet of it on IG, and it immediately sparked something. The whole flow of it just felt right. We were getting mad love online, from UK icon Wretch 32 to one of my favourite Nigerian artists Oxlade.”
