Back in May, rapper ALASKA & producer JASON GRIFF dropped their ‘Gerasco’ EP, and among the many standout songs was ‘Vanity Plates’ featuring Alex Ludovico. The song immediately caught the attention of fellow former Def Jux labelmate Yak Ballz, who asked for the instrumental to rap on – maybe just for the fun of it. However, moments like that are what get the wheels of creativity spinning – inspiring Alaska and Griff to bring back Ludovico with a fresh verse and join a murderer’s row of artists to lace the song with their own bars. Also joining them is Rob Sonic, 7×3=21 (AKA Kevin Beacham) and Defcee.

Named “Drum N Bass Rebels With A Cause” by EDM Magazine, producer OBSIDIAN CANE and singer GIZELLA return to bring serious heat to the summer with their third collaborative single, ‘Addicted’ — out today, 30th July across all major music platforms.
With over 20 years of combined experience in the underground music scene, the duo proves they’re not here to follow the rules — they’re here to break them. Born from the dynamic contrast of their musical backgrounds, Obsidian Cane and Gizella continue to champion their love for Drum N Bass, carving out a fresh, genre-defying sound that is unapologetically unique and unmistakably their own.
A prolific producer with a standout resume, Obsidian Cane has crafted music for artists signed to Warner Bros, EMI, Parlophone, and worked with major UK broadcasters including Channel 4, BBC One, and BBC Two. He also made waves in the UK Garage scene with the club hit ‘I Need A Rhythm’ as one half of the duo KP. With ‘Addicted’, Cane delivers a smooth fusion of Drum N Bass and Jungle, layered with delicate, Far Eastern-inspired melodies and a subtle yet infectious groove.
Gizella – the underground scene’s “vocal chameleon” – is known for seamlessly crossing genres with her spellbinding delivery. Since her 1998 vinyl debut ‘Express Yourself’ on Gotcha! Records, she’s lent her signature voice to Hip Hop, EDM, Dubstep, and DnB, collaborating with artists like Korostyle, Juleunique, Mizimo, Experimental Feelings, and Ronny Becher. On ‘Addicted’, she effortlessly captures the emotions of a hopeless romantic, with her vocals playfully weaving through the summery rhythm with undeniable charm.
This latest release follows the duo’s well-received singles ‘Never Change’ and ‘Crazy World’ — both praised across the music press. EDM Magazine, Playy Magazine, and EDM All Day highlighted Obsidian Cane’s standout production, while A&R Factory drew comparisons between Gizella’s vocals and the iconic Björk on ‘Never Change’.
With ‘Addicted’, Obsidian Cane and Gizella continue to prove why they’re one of the most exciting DnB acts breaking boundaries today.

Inspired by a harrowing personal experience, REMY NOVA‘s single, ‘Oh Deed (On Gummy Weed)’ – out today (25th July) across all good music platforms – documents the moment when an edible experimentation goes left field – and I mean really left field!
After giving up Xanax to manage anxiety, Remy (aka acclaimed songwriter/composer Jeremy Little), decided to trial some cannabis gummies before a rehearsal with a musical hero in Los Angeles. The euphoric sensation from popping the gummies quickly resulted in a very draaaaawwwwn ooooouuuuut journey home via a Uber ride, which was further exacerbated by several attempts to enter his apartment.
To capture the eventful experience, Remy blended blurry synths with echoic soulful hooks – imagine being in a very small room with Frank Ocean, Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz and Tame Impala all performing, creating a harmonious discord. Remy penned a touch of existential humour to the sonic soundscape to guide us to the point where reality swirls into surrealism. The track’s hypnotic vibe reflects Remy’s own intentions behind the music. “I would love for the audience to go on a journey with me—deep, deep down into the inner chambers of the mind,” he says. “I want them to feel like they’re flying through the ether untethered by physical laws.”
‘Oh Deed (On Gummy Weed)’ is out today, 25th July, from various music platforms. So why not lose yourself and go on a cosmic trip…
MIKE BODY’s latest single, ‘Pearls of Wisdom,’ is a heartfelt tribute to that extraordinary woman in your life—whether it’s your mother, grandmother, sister or significant other—whose wisdom feels almost supernatural in its depth and power.
Known for his braggadocious beats, the American rapper always uses the platform wisely, covering a breadth of issues that affect, not only his native country, but across the globe. His hard-hitting delivery of the issues have resonated with listeners from all walks of life around the world, particularly in the UK. With every release, he always shows appreciation to the Lord, whatever situation he’s in. So if you’re not religiously inclined, his messages are still relatable, as they offer some degree of encouragement and empowerment, which provides motivation to make a change for the better.
Although he pays homage to the strong women in his life, ‘Pearls Of Wisdom’ also shows his utmost gratitude to the Lord for placing that special person his life. Mike Body takes on a softer delivery, complementing layers of featherily soundscapes. While ‘Pearls Of Wisdom’ detours from his usual boastful sound, Mike Body still adds his signature magic ingredient — the infectiously heavy bass…
